    What exactly was his answer for Pac not fighting Bradley or Big Pun?

    For Bradley, it was the he's not big enough excuse right?

    But for Paul, didn't he say something about Paul's people don't promote him and he didn't want to do all of the promotion for the fight while Paul gets paid? Didn't interpret his answer wrong?

    He said that Bradley and Williams are great fighters but have been promoted badly. Essentially, why should Arum let either of them fight Pac and take advantage of the great promotion that Pac has had over his career to a large payday?

    Absolute joke and Arum is an assclown. He is basically admitting that he wants in-house fights only.

    Pacquiao needs to grow a pair of balls and stand up for himself and insist on a legitimate fight. He is becoming a joke. If fact, all of them are. Arum, Pac and May can all go **** themselves.

    I don't see any excuse for not fighting Williams. It's a great fight.

    That said, people are crazy to want to put Bradley in with Pacquiao. Mayweather? That's a fine fight because even though Bradley will lose, he won't get battered. Bradley, however, will. He's a young, promising fighter who has improved a lot in his last few bouts and will keep improving. Putting him in with Pacquiao would be a disaster for him personally, wouldn't make any money and wouldn't add to Pacquiao's legacy.

    Vargas was more mature than Bradley and Tito wasn't as good as Pacquiao is, so I agree with the comparison but this would be even more of a destruction.

    What if Pacquiao hit Bradley with his left hand, ala Hatton? Do we really want to see such a promising fighter get laid out like that? Cotto is a much better fighter than Bradley and look at the abuse he took.

    A Pacquiao fight may end Bradley's career and that's not even hyperbole. It's a very, very dangerous fight. He can't hurt Pacquiao and he can't outpoint him, so what's the best he can hope for? To make a lot of money and not have his career shortened?

    He's doing good right now. Let him fight Maidana, Khan, Alexander and the likes of them. Then Berto, Mosley etc., but he does not need to be in the ring with Pacquiao.

    He said he doesn't want to give them a free ride. Meaning that for an HBO PPV fight Arum will have to pay for all of the promotion and not HBO or anyone else.

    What the **** did pacquiao do wrong?
    Or floyd for that matter?


    Arum created a big ol' fake controversy that he ended up falling flat on. He then criticized other promotions fighters and 180'd on floyd.

    He's a ****ing con man.

    this is sad. arum's rationale is worse than pbf's for not fighting mosley at first. these excuses in boxing are not even good."i don't want to carry the promotion" should read "williams has a real chance of beating pac and more importantly is not a top rank fighter so i am not going to do that. How about instead i will put him in there with a scum bag who has already lost to williams, cheated against an unknowable amount of people, and was stopped by the guy who pbf basically shutout." I know this is not pac's words but if i had an ******* like arum speaking for me i would do something about it.

    So according to you, a shot Shane who lost to Cotto and nearly lost to Mayorga became prime again after beating Margarito. So the same Margarito that made Mosley prime again to try make your boyfriends win look better is suddenly a super **** win for Pac.

    Wow, you must hold Pac in extremely high regard.
