Pacman aint and never will fight $$$man all the time arum is above ground
@Tony Baker – Pity you’re one of those deceived by Floydie the Girlie saying it’s Arum preventing the fight with Pacquiao from ever happening. In case you haven’t known it yet or you’re just in state of denial, it’s Floydie’s fear of Pacquiao that’s preventing the fight. Imagine, a guy questioning your manhood publicly, like what Pacquiao did, and nary a whimper from Floydie the Girlie. Where I came from I would have challenged Pacquiao to a duel, I don’t know about Americans.
Tony Baker:
You really bark dog_tony. . . .floi-runner jr. ain’t nothing but a chicken Sh!t!
No matter how you see the frame from up side down, Pacquiao is way too much for Floi_tweetr jr.
Pacquiao all the way! ! ! !
Its not that case whatesoever. He’s evading him!
bro, if you can read between the lies, pac and arum are all set to negotiate. it’s floyd who keeps on changing the rules, his condtions may pile up to kingdom come.
This is such a big fight that Showtime and HBO can afford to give every body a share of the pie (probably about 300 million), including Bob Arum. This fight should be a no brainer. I don’t know what these idiots are thinking.
cant hear shit.. lol no one listend to it but still coment.
If Arum is protecting Manny, why does he keeps on matching him with dangerous fighters like Cotto, Hatton, Margarito, Marquez, etc?
