    Tell that to Arum. I'm simply following the story. Just like you are.

    If the deadline is Wednesday we'll know the outcome soon enough.

    Manny needs the money so don't be surprised. I'm disgusted that Manny is willing to fight Horn and not protest at all

    I may be in the minority of those that appreciate Bob. But he's ****ed up here. My take on it is he's seen or told by Roach Mannys slipping (I think Roach said he didn't want manny to face Crawford) and now he's planning on taking him on a retirement tour against lesser opponents until feeding him to Loma or Crawford.

    Manny just seems to want to fight anyone at 147 that the fans want to see which polled in as Khan.

    It'll be interesting to see if they compromise and I hope they do. I love to watch Manny fights

    Roach wants Manny to fight Lomachenko at catchweight next up:

    “That will be a great fight, (Lomachenko) might be the better pound-for-pound fighter today but I think Manny can still compete at that level,” said Roach.

    Bob Arum is, and for the last 40 years has been, the biggest scumbag in boxing. Every bit as shady as Don King, but without giving us the great fights Don King used to give us. Arum's undercards are always total garbage. And, this time, so is the main event.

    Horn is WBO #2 and IBF #2.

    Some of you guys never heard of rankings? You obviously don't bother reading them.

    Jeff Horn has already signed the contract and Bob Arum says Pacquiao is very close to signing.

    “We’re very close,” said Arum. “We have to get the contract signed. They’re reviewing the contract and hopefully it will be signed in the next hours or so. On the Australian side, everything is done. Jeff Horn has signed the contract.”
