Comments Thread For: Arum Says Pacquiao Has Chosen His Next Foe

It's definitely Cotto. May and Pac will never happen unless one of them loses, only then will one of them soften up at the negotiation table.

 

Correction Arum has chosen Manny's next FOE !

 

shame Pac won't stick to what him and his team said they'd do-As soon as he was willing to test it was gonna be on-All they had to do from their was back off the lawsuit-

Team Pac keeps making every obstacle in this fight-damn shame.

 

Quack,Quack,Quack. :deal

MANILA, Philippines -- Filipino boxing icon Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao has not made a decision regarding his next boxing opponent, the boxer's adviser, Michael Koncz, said Monday.
This is contrary to reports that Pacquiao had already chosen his next opponent, although his promoter, Top Rank chief executive officer Bob Arum, has remained tight-lipped about it.
"We have not made a decision," Koncz said in an interview with Boxing Scene's Ronnie Nathanielsz. "We are not rushing."
Arum was in the Philippines last week to present Pacquiao with four choices: Juan Manuel Marquez, Miguel Cotto, Lamont Peterson, or Timothy Bradley, Jr.
But last Wednesday, unbeaten American boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. fired off a series of tweets challenging Pacquiao to a much-awaited mega-fight on May 5.
Pacquiao's camp responded that they prefer to fight at the end of May for "economic reasons."
Pacquiao's wife, Jinkee, was also quoted as saying that the boxer wants to fight Cotto for the second time.
But Koncz clarified her statement, saying, "(Manny) liked the idea of Cotto. She (Jinkee) didn't say we were doing Cotto. That's the difference."
Arum agreed with Koncz, telling Boxing Scene that "(t)here's no real hurry."
"Everything is proceeding, everything is going well. There have been developments and we'll have to see where everything is going," Arum added

 

Hold on........

Michael Koncz said yesterday that Pacquiao has NOT selected his opponent....which is it team Pacquiao?

This is a mess!

 

When there's a decision, they'll announce it obviously. Everything else is just rumor / speculation.

 

So Grander why are Team Pacquiao inconsistant, either he has made the decision or he hasn't I get the feeling (personally) that they are lying to attempt to save face.

Can you give me your explaination?

 

Why would they lie? If they picked Cotto, its going to be announced eventually anyway. Not like they can hide from that.

It'll be announced when it's announced, this is all just speculatation right now. I hope they choose Bradley but I dunno if Arum wants to feed him to Pacquiao right away.

 

Because the tides have turned in the Mayweather P.R war. Many people have accused Pacquiao of ducking now - see Atlas, Kellerman, Fat Dan etc etc.

Ok so if they are not lying why is Bob Arum quoted as saying he has chosen?

Who sshould I believe out of Arum / Koncz?

 

What about all of Floyd's blatant ducks. Did you have anything to say about that?

And why can't Floyd just agree to a later date in May, if taht's all that holding up the fight. What's the big deal?
