Again, negative comment on Pacquiao from Arum.
It seems like I haven't heard any positive comment from Arum on Pacquiao recently, even on the previous fight of Manny against Thurman, Arum was still negative about Manny.
https://www.rappler.com/sports/by-sport/boxing-mma/pacquiao/233017-arum-fears-brain-damage-veteran-pacquiaoManny Pacquiao faces one of his most dangerous opponents in years in unbeaten American Keith Thurman, and promoter Bob Arum feels worried
People, do you think Arum here are giving us betting tips? we will win if we bet against his statement.
Perhaps the reason is that:
(1) Manny dump Bob Arum and then go to Al Haymon
(2) He is still butt-hurt up to this day because he knows he can still milk money. We all know that Pacquiao is Arum's cash cow for years
(3) He is genuinely concern about Manny's health, after all they had multiple run during Manny's peak and he knows the damage Pacquaio has taken throughout under his wing.
(a) and (b) to me,
(a) Bob Arum can't get over the fact that Manny didn't sign under him and in a twist of faith, went to his bitter competitor, Al Haymon. And I don't see that Arum is concern about Manny's health, this is business, no attachment whatsoever.
There are a lot of boxers who works for him and bring a lot of money, but we didn't even heard about their relationships when that boxer retire.
(b) Of course, he is butt-hurt, specially when he see Manny on his winning tracks again. Perhaps he is imagining the money he should have gain is he still under him. And his latest cash cow (Crawford) generate money but it's not even close when Pacquaio was at his prime.
