[Formerly known as...]

This is a clear sign Manny has very little money and is signing to gain more but in reality it's just more for Arum! He does now need Arum anymore, move on and promote yourself breh.

Arum Says Contract Extension is Close

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum claims a five fight contract extension with his prized possession, “Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao, is almost done.

Arum told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard - “We’ve pretty well agreed on all points. I’m getting it wrapped up with Michael Koncz (Pacquiao’s adviser who is in the US) and then he’s going to take it to the Philippines for Manny’s signature.”Koncz for his part told the Standard - “We are talking but nothing is final. He’s got a company to protect and I have Manny to protect. We’ve been together for a long time so (the mood) is okay.”

He said “Manny talked to me last night gave me a couple of projects to do and I’ll leave Wednesday” for Manila. However, he didn’t disclose what the projects were. Arum confirmed what Pacquiao told us during a courtesy call on Manila Mayor Joseph Estrada and Vice Mayor Ishko Moreno last week that he will fight the winner of the Juan Manuel Marquez – Mike Alvarado fight possibly in November. The Top Rank promoter said “the WBO has indicated that the winner of that fight will be a mandatory for Manny.” Should Marquez win it will be his fifth fight against Pacquiao but if Alvarado wins Arum indicated “ we won’t have a problem making that fight because he (Alvarado) fights for me also.” Arum said the people at the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in Macau are “very happy with the ticket sales” for the WBA featherweight title fight between Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire and champion Simpiwe Vetyeka of South Africa who won the title late last year in Metro City, Perth, Western Australia when longtime champion Chris John of Indonesia quit at the end of the sixth round.

The Top Rank promoter whose exciting May 31 card will be headlined by three world featherweight title bouts told us “ the response has been great” and added “ believe me its one of the best cards of the year” which will also feature IBF champion Evgeny Gradovich (18-0, 9 KO’s) against Alexander Miskirtchian (24-2-1, 9 KO’s) and WBA champion Nicholas Walters of Jamaica (23-0, 19 KO’s) against Vic Darchinyan (39-6-1 28 KO’s). Arum described the reported rift between Golden Boy Promotions owner Oscar De La Hoya and CEO Richard Schaefer, where they didn’t even talk to each other during last weekend’s fight card, as “very silly” even as he emphasized he “never had any animosity to Oscar but you know what kind of person Schaefer is.”

This shyt sucks this cold war needs to end I don't see any serious comp over at the top rank stable. Only fight that would intrigue me is a Manny vs Crawford fight.

@manny fried chicken continuing to hide from Floyd behind bob arum. talk of being scared of needles and building stadiums
this re-up shyt proves again this guy never wanted this fight.he could easily fight independent against Floyd for 1 fight then afterwards bend back over and re-up with bob his pimp
but then again if I had a manager who managed my career so I owe 40million in tax debt of-course its a no-brainer to re-sign with him for 5 more years

 

[mr. smoke weed]

If this happens
Rob Arum gets paid
Michael Koncz (what the fukk does he do btw?) gets paid
Macau/China get paid
Roach gets paid
Manny gets the small piece of chicken that's left. This shyt is kind of funny but more sad than anything. They're robbing him blind in front of his eyes and all pac man does is keep having more kids

 

[Jello Biafra]

I think Manny is too loyal and that is why he is likely to re-sign with Arum but he really needs to take a step back and see that he is a big enough star that he doesn't need a promoter and could make more money fighting the fights he wants to fight as an independent contractor.
I just don't get how he can look at guys like Floyd and Cotto and not see that he should follow their example.
I am so not in the mood for Manny/Marquez yet again or a third Manny/Bradley fight.

floyd isnt truly independent though...he's "advised" under allah haymon just like the rest of them ...cotto is the only one who truly fights who he wants

Yerp Floyd works for the most honorable allah haymon, schaefer and espinoza(for the next 3 fights at least)

Pardon me friend but if Manny were to tell Floyd he would only fight him without GoldenBoy/Al Haymon involved, would you have an issue with this?

"I don't want to do business with Arum" isn't a valid excuse for this fight not to get made. If Manny wants to keep getting raped by that Jewish demon that's his decision. Floyd should not be the one dictating who promotes Manny even if it would most likely help him in the long run.

 

[Tom Foolery]

I think this is smart for Manny. Sign with Arum, get paid fighting easier opponents and duck the GB roster. Not saying he'll lose to anyone, but a lot of tough fights over there.

respectfully said but your point is moot. arum has done a masterful job of playing to the hateful public opinion of FMJ
manny and arum have the excuse game on lock trevor ariza even told the truth about manny running from floyd
todays excuse is reup with bob for 5 more years of tax debt but lets recollect a few others
it was floyd who signed a contract and sent it to manny agreeing to all his demands including the 10mil per pound overweight clause what was the problem then?
first it was manny is afraid of needles?
then it became blood makes manny weak
no my bad im getting that confused with when floyd got his sentence pushed back and then manny had a cut that took 6 months to heal
no no my bad im getting that mixed up with the outdoor stadium arum had to build for the fight to take place
no no no my bad im getting that mixed with when floyd called manny himself and manny said "let me speak to my manager
no no no no my bad it was the steroids........

I'm seeing a lot of smilies but you're saying a whole lot of nothing. It was clearly on Manny when the fight didn't take place during the first negotiations but this "I won't do business with Arum" is clearly on Floyd.

Manny reuping with Arum is not an excuse, who is Floyd to dictate who promotes Manny?

Like I said if Manny wants to get fukked that is HIS right.

I said a whole lot of alot and manny hiding behind his pimp has been the perfect excuse for him to not get that boxing clinic for years now

if I was bob I wouldn't let my top earning bytch errrrr cash cow get exposed either I aint mad at a pimp named arum he workin that ho

Manny isn't hiding behind anyone, he lets his promoter promote just like 95% of the other boxers do. Floyd had no problem doing business with Arum when he needed him to save him from J Prince's goons.

How would Pac get exposed in a Floyd fight? Wouldn't we credit Marquez with exposing him already?

Oh shyt well lets recollect some of Floyds excuses....
First it was I wont fight Pac unless he agrees to unlimited amount of blood withdrawals.
Then it was "im taking the rest of 2010 and 2011 off from the sport of boxing"
Then it was "At this point I cant accept less than 100% of revenue"

"I called Pacquiao on the phone" but couldn't call his promoter"

Then it was "Pac has to leave Bob Arum for the fight to happen"
Then it was Floyd refusing to work with Todd Debeuf
Then it was "Pacquiao has to beat Bradley and Marquez again first"
Then it was "Pacquiao has to sign with Mayweather promotions for the fight to happen"
Floyd says "they put em in front of me... I beat em" WBC makes Pac #1 contender then its "Pac can have the belt belt dont make me"
Now after Pac whooped Bradley its "but they both fought like amateurs"
