Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman reportedly close for July 20 on FOX pay-per-view

Manny Pacquiao vs Keith Thurman has been in the rumor mill recently, and now it looks like we might be getting close to real news on that.

Mike Coppinger reports that the two are “closing in on a deal” for a FOX pay-per-view main event on July 20 in Las Vegas.

"SOURCES: Manny Pacquiao and Keith Thurman are closing in on a deal for a FOX PPV welterweight title bout that’s being pegged for July 20 in Las Vegas. There doesn’t appear to be any big hurdles to clear in completing deal. Big-time fight this summer."

It’s not hard to believe. My point stilll remains valid weather haymon said that or they said it of their own accord. There’s nothing racist about What arum said.

Fighters who think that way would be more inclined to sign with Haymon. But it's not valid to say Haymon is telling them that. It's insulting to think black fighters can't think for themselves and Haymon is only successful because he's manipulating black fighters.

FACTS! The difference is all these cats fire shots at Haymon, and he doesn't say a word! They mad cuz' he's stylin' on them! Lol!

Yep.

I will just watch whenever there's a competitive fight on. They can keep fighting over their egos until all of them go out of business.

Cheers buddy!

Mike Coppinger is reporting that a deal is VERY close for Thurman vs. Pacquiao on July 20th in Las Vegas! Porter says he's motivated to fight Spence Jr., not thinking about DSG or anyone else! Good things coming!

Pacman forced Arum to be B side and to give in to all the demands of Floyd and Haymon to make it happen after 6 yrs! 50/50 split will not do it at this time for Crawford vs Spence with 500K estimated PPV.

PAC finally agreed to random testing once that sh#t got out of his system too!

Ahhhhhh, PBC, the saviors of boxing.......

[Heru]

I wouldn't want to do business with Arum after everything either. Spence-Crawford is a great fight, I'm intrigued by it, but I don't expect Haymon to want to negotiate a deal with an ******* that insults him in public and "negotiates" through the media. Crawford is higher on P4P list, but if he didn't do at least 250K, 50/50 is no go. **** Arum

Some PBC loyalists see this as a victory for boxing.

yes. Same as when they cheered for beyonce wilder when he turned down the 100 million dollar deal to fight joshua these pbc groupies are weirdos.
