Comments Thread For: Arum Says Pacquiao Contract Extension is Close

[Mayabang]

As a Pac fan, I really wish Pac would just fucking retire. He has nothing else to prove and Floyd will never fight him.

It's crazy yall saying Manny should leave for one fight..Why ??You guys saying money??but wasn't Manny the 4 th highest paid Athlete last year and fought ONCE??Lol you aren't making peanuts with a 50million dollar tax bill. Leave the Floyd stuff out.Why would he leave Top Rank when he gets whatever he wants? Then you have people saying get like Floyd Floyd is paid by GBP he posted a check on instagram and it had GOLDEN BOY PROMOTIONS at the top. Yall so blinded by fandom on both sides. It a crazy. It's fights if Manny drops to 140 like these articles are saying. He is a 140lbs fighter anyway.

Remember, if Floyd wants Manny, he gets Manny. The Bob excuse wasn't his first excuse to avoid Manny. The Bob excuse surfaced years after the first excuse. After all, the Bob excuse is just another excuse.

Is that so let me ask you this how's uncle Bobs stadium coming along. ...

Because I'm not a ***** you idiot. I'm a fan of boxing and BOXERS! I applaud Oscar, Floyd, B-Hop, and Cotto, because they took their careers into their own hands, and out of the hands of Arum and Don King. Manny is going to end up like Tyson, Ali, Frazier, and Joe Louis, if he keeps fuc*ing with Bob Arum. I guess you don't care about Manny but I do.

if u care about manny why dont u go and start a fundraising program to help manny out? because he's in need lime u said right. LOL!! why do u care what bob is doing to manny? i dont care how much pac is getting or how much floyd is getting. i dont even care where they'll fight at, as a BOXING FAN i just want to see both of them fight eachother. u're just being border line creepy talking about u care about manny LOL!!!

thats becsue MP and GBP have a good working relationship, same way Artie Puello fighters don't have to leave him to get a fight with TR guys.

Stop trying to find a small crevice to try and craft a valid arguement where there is none. It was ok for TR to do it, its ok for MP to do. If its an unfair business practice for one, than it is for both.

You don't think manny should have to leave simply because its Manny. I disagree. I think Manny is subject to the same conditions as any " b side" would be, and, more specifically, the conditions TR imposed on his opponents.

MP and gbp have a good relationship?? LOL!!! even if gbp and tmt have a good relationship, they're still 2 seperate promotional company, agree or not? so floyd fighting gbp fighters, that means gbp and gbp fighter will get their cut of the share. so floyd wouldnt be able to keep all the profit right? so again why is it ok for gbp fighters but not with manny? LOL!!

Has it occurred to you that he might just be content with his 20+ million plus ppv plus whatever raise came with it which by all account is a lot MORE that anyone on this forum will ever see in their lifetime? By the way, he lives in the Philippines so that kind of money is a hell of a lot more. Just can't understand why people are so concerned about another man's money. SMFH. Problems or not, I don't think anyone on here has ever bailed Manny out. By the way, if you think this hinders a Floyd, you must be flat out ******ed. The fight was never going to happen and if it is to happen, this is no hurdle by any means.

I dont agree, i believe if he would have accepted 40M the fight would have been made.

I believe if he negotiated with the other side the fight could have been made.

I don't know where you get your wisdom, if he resigns that means one fighter never wanted it. I also think as a sportsman he is less than FMJ. FMJ doesnt recycle his opponents like this he is open for new challengers and champions. This recycle **** has nothing to do with sport, TR/Arum are more about business than GBP. Why didnt garcia vs gamboa happen. TR is all politics. If Pac is up for some challenges he should go to the other side and fight some new blood.
Thurman, Porter, FMJ, D.Garcia those are fights a real sportsman goes for. If this is true Manny is a BS fighter who isnt in it for the glory or the sport. I mean in what world dont you listen to all parties what they have to offer??? How can you manager serve two interests manny and Arum???
It doesnt make sense and it cant be explained if in the end, it is that he didnt sat down with the other side and just resigned.

[MindBat]

Manny knows if he didn't sign for 2 more years with Bob he would forced to consider a fight with Mayweather and random PED testing.

He's ducking out on the biggest payday of his career and ducking out on proving he can still take on Floyd and be victorious.

Keep on running, Manny. Looks like Bob got him by the nut-sacks and isn't letting go anytime soon 'til Manny finishes paying his debts owed.

.

[mourinho1]

Me thinks Uncle Bob put up the dough to pay off half, 2/3rds, or all of his tax debt on the condition he re-signs his life away with TR for two or more years.

Damn, set him up like a straight tax cheat so he won't go on his own or with GBP.

Nice move, Pac Pac!

.

Yeah i think something similar, that the tax problems have worked in Bob's favour.

[radiotracer]

If anyone still supporting Pacquiao sticking with Arum are very bad at business and are meant to be screwed over in life.

Seriously you are a sucker..

Mikey Garcia is trying to get out of his contract on a multitude of things, like how what's being made off of him is not being disclosed and a host of other things. Pacquiao gets screwed because of course he can't count and he is borderline remedial at this point. Pacquiao is scared to ask questions..

If he was scared why would he re-sign with top rank. His closest friends are attorneys and roach won't let him get screwed like his previous promoter was doing. ATGs fight they don't build roadblocks.

Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it! Good luck to Mikey Garcia, good luck to Chavez Jr., good luck to Manny Pacquiao. Obviously, Manny fans just want to see him get his head bashed in for while being pimped. That's sad! Here's an oldie but goodie:

"Mayweather claims that Arum shortchanged him on matches against Arturo Gatti in 2005 and Zab Judah in 2006. In the lawsuit, Mayweather said he was due 85% of Top Rank's revenue from the Gatti fight and 80% from the Judah fight. He claims Arum has refused to turn over the records for accounting. Mayweather has asked for the statutory minimum of $10,000 on each of the five counts, but would be in line for millions in punitive damages on a breach of contract claim."

"In a strange twist, Arum admits that he owes Mayweather money and said he has told Mayweather's reps why he isn't giving it to him.

"There's no question we owe him some money," Arum said. "There's no dispute there. But he owes us a lot of money, and the people he's involved with owe us even more. After 98% of the money we owed him was paid, we stopped paying him for a reason."



Sounds familiar?
