    This doesn't really make sense because he allowed Manny to fight a Roided JMM TWICE...

    Lol if anything he would have wanted to pass the torch to Crawford. He knew there was a chance Crawford could lose and should his fighter lose to a fighter on way out of his contract, that’s just very, very bad business.

    He let horn headbutt, elbow, headlock and trip him in the ring ffs then robbed him.

    Arum is full of ****. Jeff Horn killed the Crawford-Pac fight (for now).

    As much of a liar as Arum is, this is believable. Even Freddy
    was reluctant to have Manny in with Crawford

    I am glad he did. Crawford is a mean SOB and would have not taken it easy on Pac.

    Pac would have detonated some mean left hands on Crawford's chin... Would have been interesting to see if Crawford does a still Running Man.

    You would be right to be paranoid if Pac fought Crawford. Crawford is no Broner.:deal:

    Is anyone really surprised by this? I do hope that a fight between the two can be made at some point. I don't think Crawford would have an easy time with Pacquiao at all to be honest. 50/50 fight, which really says a lot about Pac being able to keep this up at his age.

    Like any promoter would, Arum is bitter now that Pac left him. Anyone who sees anything other than that in this is blind.

    That being said Crawford would beat Pac at this point but why would Arum ever give a ****. Pac has fought guys under Top Rank who were supposed to beat him far worse than what Crawford would do.

    I like reading threads like this. If the fight does happen then the narrative goes from Pacquiao is beating up young hungry lions to Pacquiao is old and should have never fought Crawford.
    I just got finish berating Fedor fans after Bader crack his chin with a glancing blow. He went from old prime Fedor to senior citizen in 48 seconds.

    Pac is still a major attraction after leaving Arum. And anyone who believes Arum cared for Pac, I have a bridge to sell you...
