Shut the fuck up, Manny. Spend the entire Floyd saga crying he was ducking you, when in reality it was your camp causing problems. Now you're gonna talk shit to some opponent you pulled out of your ass. You ducked Bud Crawford, pussy.

Floyd WAS ducking Manny.  Not saying he was scared, but it was clear he didn't want to fight Manny for a while.  The only problems that Manny's camp "caused" was maybe them not wanting to do the USADA testing initially, but other than that, Floyd was creating new roadblocks at each round of negotiations.

Anyway, it was cool to see Floyd at the fight anyway.  Smart move on his part, it just generates more buzz, for both of them.  Obviously we were all hoping for a knockout, but a win is a win, and we at least got a knockdown.

I'm just saying though. Manny talking shit about an average ass boxer. I know he has to try to sell the fight; but Bud Crawford said he'd take him & Arum wanted no part of a Manny L. Arum the reason UFC is becoming the bigger fighting sport. & I love boxing way more than watching UFC; just terms of the public popularity.

DeeezNuuuts83:
Should he not have said anything, when his opponent was talking shit first?  What do you think Manny should have done instead, say that his opponent is right and that he is slower than him?  Come on.

Arum is not the reason why UFC is becoming the bigger sport.  What big fights is he preventing?  So maybe he's not pushing Pacquiao-Crawford as hard as YOU want him to.  Yeah, it would be a more interesting fight than Pacquiao-Vargas was, but it's not something that the boxing world is begging for either.  People can talk about how they don't care for Mayweather-Pacquiao II or Pacquiao-Marquez V, but rest assured either fight would demolish the PPV numbers of whatever Pacquiao-Crawford would.  High risk, low reward.

What big fights does boxing REALLY want?  Mayweather-Golovkin... Arum is not preventing that one from happening.  Alvarez-Golovkin... Arum is not preventing that one from happening.  Cotto-Marquez... Arum is not preventing that one from happening.  All three are fights that boxing fans would likely rather see before Pacquiao-Crawford.  So no, I would not say that Arum is the reason why boxing's popularity is declining.
