Comments Thread For: Koncz on Pacquiao's List of Foes, Rejects Donaire Idea

[Snake4380]

I'm actually interested in Pac v. Maidana...if that fight can be made...

But from this article seems that Arum is going to use the excuse of the GBP break up between Oscar and Schaefer as an excuse to have Pac fight Ruslan...

If I had to bet right now...Pac v. Ruslan...Pac dominates a one-sided fight by decision...and it rakes in about 400-450K PPV buys

[sugarsmosley]

surely the list is ruslan, and jmm.... right? would be shocked if its any1 else... hoping for it tho

[Snake4380]

Concz is so full of it lol...

We know the names on the list...

Marquez...
Ruslan...
Abregu

Marquez with the VADA testing will demand probably $10 million for the fight...so he might be out already...

Here's the list now...

Ruslan...
Ruslan...
Ruslan

Arum will pretend to like he acted in good faith to work with GBP but couldn't because of the break up that happened over there so he was forced to go with Ruslan after Ruslan beats a cab driver on HBO...

Pacquiao went from guaranteed PPV order...to the stream list with everyone else...

[SUBZER0ED]

Funny thing is Arum flat out stated Broner is nobody and wouldn't even consider it, but he will bring out Abregu. Not saying Abregu is garbage (because I never seen him fight), but he doesn't come close to the star power of Broner. Broner is at 140, where Freddie wants Manny to go anyway, so why not Broner?

So you're saying that you would actually pay PPV $$ to see Manny beat up on Broner? If you dislike Broner that much, I can see wanting that fight...on a regular card.

[anonymous2.0]

Team Pacquaio is ducking Abregu.

[-Kev-]

Abregu would have been a joke...wow Arum is so desperate to keep Manny fighting in house..it's disgusting...

Oh well...Manny figures I get $20 mil no matter whom I fight, so I'm sure he doesn't care...definitely could have made more going to GBP...

Marquez is the only fight that Manny has any chance to have with Arum where he can make more than his guarantee...

Pacquiao and Koncz are just not good business men period...Koncz is clearly in Arum's pocket and there is a conflict of interest...it made no sense for Manny to resign with Top Rank at this point in his career...and even the contract before this one...

I don't know how he could make $20mill if the PPV sells 300k, if that. Who would buy Pac-Abregu? Pac-Rios barely did 475k. That was $30.8million in PPV revenue, and cable companies already get half of that, so how in the hell is Manny making $20million? Gate revenue? Some one taking money out of their pocket to satisfy the guaranteed purse? It makes no sense with numbers that low that Pac is earning $20 million. There's people that have to get paid, like Arum, undercard fighters, trainer, HBO, cable companies.

Manny gets a guaranteed amount of money he splits with everyone else no matter what the gate or the PPV does. His contract includes a $20 million guarantee. But that's before Arum and Concz take a cut..Roach...taxes, etc...

I like Broner. He's only loss once to Maidana. I think he's a better draw than Abregu. Match up Manny and Broner, with Nonito vs. Walters on the undercard, and watch the PPVs skyrocket.

[Jerzz]

Donaire vs Walters might steal the Thunder from Pac vs (anybody not named Mayweather or Marquez)

[paulf]

Pacquiao has been hating on Donaire for years.
