Haymon is setting Pacquiao up to fail. Broner was set to win, but Pac won 11-1 rounds they cant make it so obvious. 116-112 is a joke. The Watson twins were in Broners corner. Any time Pac fights a pbc/showtime fighter he will be down on the scorecards. Haymon is as bad as Arum.
Maybe that card suggests they're trying to maintain some value in Broner as at least a competitive opponent?
Nah, Broner just got the "American fighting a foreigner" treatment, getting every even remotely close round on the cards. What I get from this is that Pac doesn't have any protected status at the PBC at least. He has to win big against US boxers, just like any aother foreigner, so I'd advise him to fight as much non Americans as possible up until getting a big one.
Pacman has had a more complete career than Floyd. It is so much deeper and full of divisions and real great fighters. He was willing to test himself.
I dont know who Pac will fight next. Danny Garcia has a history of gift decisions, Herrera, Peterson. Shawn Porter is young i dont think Haymon cares about him too much, might be an option but he isnt a draw. Thurman they are trying to build him up. Mikey Garcia might be good because he isnt signed with anybody. If Floyd is guaranteed 100,000,000 the fight will happen.
Mayweather v Broner was likely preferable to the riskier Mayweather-Pacquiao 2 which could kill his cash cow. Hear talk of Pacquiao-Garcia now, same rule applies, they'll happy rob Pac to feed Garcia to Mayweather who'll need an easy but credible opponent when he inevitably comes back. OP is right, Haymon is not behind Pacquiao.
How was Arum bad to Pacquiao? He literally made him a billionaire ffs & paid the taxes Pac owed in advance. Then Pac opted out of an at least competitive, big Bud PPV to set himself on the seriously getting beaten up Errol road. He's far worse off with Haymon, Arum genuinely liked Pac and he's gonna be sad when Spence sends him home on a stretcher.
You look at Pacquiao's resume and really believe that? Now look at Bud's resume. Now look at the snakey grinning promoter.
Yeah I looked at Pac's great resume then at Bud's good, then at Spence's mediocre, what's next in this little detective adventure?
Pacquiao's political career messes up match ups because of timing. He can only fight when the Senate is in recess or something. Pacquiao would love to fight Mikey Garcia, but he won't want any smoke from Errol, who will destroy Mikey. I think Danny Garcia or Keith Thurman is next.
If you don’t think Haymon is pissing himself with happiness because he has Manny Pacquiao fighting for him, you know nothing about business.
Too bad for you the only fools who say this are people who don't matter. ESPN The Ring and Roach have already rated PBF as greater.
Pac needs to retire. He's not going to fight the killers at 147 namely Thurman Spence or Crawford. Hell I doubt he would even fight Porter or Garcia. What is he doing? Fighting for money.
