Adrien Broner priced himself out of the Pac fight

[GunRanger]

Manny Pacquiao's retirement sure didn't last long.

Pacquiao plans to come out of a brief sabbatical to fight again on either Oct. 29 or Nov. 5 in the main event of an HBO PPV card in Las Vegas, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com on Tuesday.

Arum said there is no set opponent but that it would not be rumored foe Adrien Broner, the outspoken former four-division titlist, because Broner's asking price was a "crazy number."

Although Pacquiao announced his retirement from boxing following a superb performance in a unanimous decision victory in this third fight against Timothy Bradley Jr. on April 9, few believed it would stick. And it hasn't.

Pacquiao to unretire in time for fall fight in Vegas

let's guess the number

Broner prolly wanted Mayweather money and not a nickel less

:heston:


probably want 10 million no less :birdmanhands:

Arum should have took it. I think broner vs manny would do numbers (1.5 mil buys) and it probably an easy win for manny.
Broner still think he mayweather. Turning down 40 mil from roc nation was a massive L since he'll probably never earn that in his career. How much money could he be making to have high demands

I would take anything Arum says with a grain of salt. Just because he said it doesn't mean that's necessarily how it went down.

[Mook]

The number was probably 10, but that fakkit arum wont give anyone that kind of money.

 

[THE MACHINE]

Cant blame AB for trying to get his money in this instance. It would be a big money fight.

Rejecting that RocNation deal though

AB never outpriced himself or asked for a crazy number


Arum was lying about it, and ended up coming back and saying that the guarantee AB was looking for was too risky for TR and Manny (he asked for $6 million...same amount Bradley got to face Pacquiao in their 2nd fight) to pay, because they couldn't guarantee the PPV would do they buys Broner said it would. They didn't want to take the chance of it not doing 700k+, so they moved on.

Sounds right I was thinkin 4.5-5 mil not a bad middle ground. Uncle Bob not doin 700 wit no fuccn Vargas not named Fernando

 

[HamAndEgger]

If Broner REALLY wanted the fight they would've worked it out. Both Haymon and Arum were trying to make it with Haymon apparently not getting through to Broner. Of course, Bob is always going to do in house fights before working with anyone else, but Manny vs Broner would be an EASY sell (which is why both Arum and Al were on board) and Broner would make a career payday on his biggest stage. That shows you his and some "others" mentality. A win over Manny even now would catapult Broner to bigger fights and more money. Instead, he's gonna spend 20-30 days in jail for something as simple as showing up to Court on time. He deserves everything he's NOT getting.

Doesn't matter now
