Why shouldn't he take a strong stance when no other fight offering more money and Horn is still ranked #2 under the wbo and ibf

“Sugar” Ray Leonard eventually was all in on a rematch with Marvin Hagler.

Promoter Bob Arum and the legendary Leonard knew a second middleweight title fight against Hagler would’ve made even more money than their famed first fight at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The public demand was extremely high for Leonard-Hagler II in 1987 and 1988 because Leonard’s split-decision victory over Hagler was so controversial.

Hagler, however, got tired of waiting for Leonard to grant him an immediate rematch following what was considered one of the biggest fights of the 20th century.

The ex-middleweight champion, who was disgusted following his loss to Leonard, announced his retirement in June 1988 and later moved to Italy. He was just 32 when he fought Leonard on April 6, 1987 (30 years ago today), but the Brockton, Massachusetts, native never boxed again.

Arum, who was Hagler’s promoter, recalled on a recent conference call how he approached Hagler one last time to try to talk him into fighting Leonard again.

“I remember a year later at Caesars, they were having a big dinner to honor the fighters that had fought at Caesars,” Arum said. “And it was really a salute to boxing. And at that dinner, they had Muhammad Ali there, I was there, Tommy [Hearns] was there, Ray, Marvin, Roberto Duran. And Ray called me over and he says, ‘Bob, go speak to him,’ meaning Hagler, ‘and say let’s do the rematch. It’ll do a fortune of business.’

“So I went over and I talked to Marvin. And I said, ‘Marvin, Ray asked me to come talk to you about doing the rematch.’ And Marvin looked at me with that scowl that he had. And he said, ‘Tell that guy to get a life.’ So that was it, man. We tried. We tried and there was no use to trying harder. Marvin was having no more of that.”

Leonard, who retired temporarily for the third time after he beat Hagler, returned to the ring in November 1988 in Las Vegas. Donny Lalonde dropped Leonard in the fourth round, but Leonard came back to stop Lalonde in the ninth round of a fight that somehow was contested for the vacant WBC super middleweight title and Lalonde’s WBC light heavyweight championship.

How TF you calling somebody fat when we all seen your skinny fat ass

Horn has the Australian government backing this fight and putting up the money to get Pac out there.. the same money that he's owed by Top Rank thats in his contract... Why TF you think they were trying to fight Khan a minute ago if he was so in a hurry to sign to fight Horn??

When we say Chavez has a chance, nikkas be like

so I expect Virgil is gonna get the same responses, at least in nikkas minds. They prolly won't post it tho.

I've already gone on record a couple months ago & said his physicality & size could be a problem for Canel too. Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this

 

[patscorpio]

if canelo get his ass beat by Jr im just going to laugh my ass off; if canelo beats Jr...well ive said Jr was a bum, Arum got his money's worth and smartly let him go, and Haymon was stupid to sign him..id be more than justified...a win/win situation for me as a fan overall..winner/loser of this fight won't change any real perception I have of them already

Pac is damn there 40...it's only a matter of time before he start looking his age. If Horn could survive the distance and give a respectable showing rd to rd...they might give it to him out there in Australia.

If you got few 100 dollars laying around that you ain't doing nothing with...you might come up on a lick putting it on Horn.

Oh really?

“This is a different ball game and Dean Lonergan knows the figure we want,’’ Arum said. “The Crawford fight was a pay per view scenario but we are planning this as a free-to-air fight in America, so it will not be $20 million.

Koncz did not disclose the proposed Pacquiao-Horn prize money or the venue, telling reporters the fighters' purse was "nobody's business".

Manny Pacquiao to fight Jeff Horn in Australia on July 2

They were quick to constantly tell us about $30 Million from the UAE.........but now, Pacquiao's purse is nobody's business huh? :khanhuh:

The fight is expected to cost less than $10 million to stage and most of that will go on Pacquiao’s rumoured US $5 million purse.
