    Oh boy, it's clear Arum gets all the say on who Pacquiao fights, how are you this ATG and you don't even get to pick your own opponents, Arum has probably been stealing a lot of money off this dude.

    It's disappointing to hear Manny say this about an opponent who his supposedly fighting next. He should just go ahead in retire if this is the match ups we should expect from him, he went from Bradley to a guy, Bradley just beat to a guy he's never heard of.

    Bob is only trying to make paq enough money to retire with. Paq (how the ****) couldn't retire atm, he'd be broke immediately.

    He has to completely 180 his whole life style before he can retire. BA is trying very hard to find opponents paq CAN beat so he can make more fights.

    Fyi: Horn truly has the power to put paq away.
    Horn might be making me a very good return. I need a little more time with Horn but this just might bite them right in the ASS

    Most ATGs didn't choose who they fought. That's what managers/promoters are for.

    Personally I just don't care for Manny taking punches for no reason . Horn is a waste of head trauma

    2 years before they fought, Pac was interviewed by Elie Sechback and Rios was brought up. Pac didn't know who Rios was either (this was a time when Rios was making a lot of noise). Many boxers do not follow boxing.

    I'd also prefer paq to be well retired and enjoying post boxing career but he got screwed for so long and so badly that he still has to fight, not fighting for anything except money.

    Money is always #1 but legacy and love if the sport, competitive fire are also hugely important. When you no longer can compete competitively with the best around your weight, when you once dominated for many different years it's a sad ending

    Also no one can justify this pick, it's worst than Berto and the Ghost. Don't want to hear it's Arums fault. Manny can say no he's had that ability for a very long time he just likes the sh*t that Arums feeding him so he eats it up

    Manny wanted Floyd. Floyd don't want none (healthy Manny + VADA testing is the REAL REASON Floyd is staying retired or chasing a fight w/ Conor McGregor).

    Manny wanted Broner and Garcia, but both guys ducked.

    Horn is not gunna do ****, he ain't ready for this step up if anything they should have had him fight a prospect like Vargas and if he gets through that he can get Pac. You getting dropped by an 108 yo Randall Bailley then I'm not expecting you to beat Pac.

    Manny don't deserve Floyd again, who wants to see that crap fight again.

    Yeah Garcia and Broner both asked for a lot of money but look what Manny is asking to fight Crawford? Everyone is asking for crazy money when it's a tough fight.

    Floyd being tested by VADA and Manny not injured is a different fight.

    The difference is that Pac has made that kind of money and Crawford sold 50K PPVs in his only PPV outing.

    How could I not look forward to a Pacquiao fight? Dude is a living, active legend of the sport. Am I thrilled about Horn? No.

    Manny didn't have to agree to the fight if the testing was right nor did he have to take the fight injured but when you concede everything in negotiations and lose I can't feel sorry for you.

    I dislike Floyd a lot but he closed the chapter on that story.

    He is, which is why I don't wanna see him fighting this level, I would even rather a Manny vs Diaz fight someone coming off a big win.

    Manny couldn't have anticipated that USADA would ALLOY Floyd to juice?! Or that the NSAC would refuse him a preventative Toradol shot?!

    LOLZ!!!
