Comments Thread For: Arum Says Khan, Crawford in Lead For Pacquiao Bout

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

According to Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, World Boxing Organization (WBO) junior welterweight champion Terence Crawford and top welterweight contender Amir Khan are the leading candidates to face Manny Pacquiao in his final career bout on April 9th.

Crawford (27-0, 19 KOs) was in action two weeks ago, when he knocked out Pacquiao's former sparring partner Dierry Jean.

So basically Pacquiao's fighting Crawford? ****** Khan will sit out December for nothing, the ****** never learns.

Anyone who thinks Bob Arum will make a fight between Manny Pacquaio and Amir Khan is an idiot. Arum is suing Al Haymon. He damn sure isn't going to put any money in Haymon's pocket.

Arum already has the fight between Pacquaio and Crawford penciled in. Barring something spectacular or disastrous happening, Pacquaio will be fighting Crawford in April 2016.

I heard Bradley Rios winner is not in the mix right now because Arum is waiting to have the winner fight Canelo if he beats Cotto for the title, ARum hates Cottos guts and siad he will never do business with him again. So they are banking on Canelo to win or get a gift decision in Vegas. If Canelo loses, I could see the Bradley vs Rios winner possibliy next in line for Pac.

I doubt Amir Khan lol, Khan is being played a a fiddle, this dude makes me laugh he needs to go and fight Kell Brook

Arum will always, always prefer the in-house option.

Either one is fine. PAC KO's khan.
Crawford may KO PAC ???

Either one is fine. PAC KO's khan.
Crawford my KO PAC ???

At this point both are very dangerous fighters. I am not sleeping on Khan or buying into the hype that he is chiny.

Crawford is the real deal. Super good talent and very very dangerous fight.

Both could beat Manny. Manny better not take either lightly!

I hope PAC whips khan, he shouldn't take him lightly.
I see Crawford as a bigger unknown.

Pacquiao says "shut up Arum, I'm in negotiations wit Ployd Por a rematch behind your back"..

[Mike Rotch]

Didn't Arum say it's unethical to do business with 2 people at the same time???
