Comments Thread For: Arum: Floyd Mayweather is Fighting Erik Morales Next

[4Corners]

The sad thing is that people actually believe this.

If Arum wanted the fight for Pac, he wouldn't have lined up Margarito, Mosley, Marquez, and now Bradley already. How can anyone say he wanted to make the Floyd fight, when he lined up other fights before hand?????

Mayweather-Martinez, that's what I am betting on. Can't wait to hear Pac fans cry and b*tch about how that's a bad pick too, and about how Floyd is ducking.

Pac still hasn't come out and said what testing he's agreed to or anything. All we've heard is "Testing is a non-issue", but then we heard "We don't have to do what Floyd wants", and also Koncz said "Manny never agreed to do any testing within 14 days".

Like I said, if Manny agrees to testing without a cutoff date, the fight will happen.

Article says Golden Boy's matchmaker went on record to the Mexican media, even gave a specific date, that he was putting the fight together and both sides were amenable (With Gomez making a note that if Floyd says something today, tomorrow he might say the complete opposite, ie, 'Pacquiao you're next'). Steve Kim retweeted someone claiming Morales confirmed this a few days ago.

Instead of arguing about Bob Arum... why not have one of the scribes here interview Eric Gomez and Morales or anyone who would have direct knowledge of the situation?

Just a thought.

Its official, Money has pushed Arum over the edge.

he has these fights lined up because Floyd is so fickle, female-like, and scurred. . . you gotta have a backup plan. . . Floyd a hoe. . . Did Arum not say "Floyd, if you want to make the fight, contact us before "x date" or we will have to move forward with another fight"? RIDDLE ME THAT!

Nice trolling , bob.

[Clint650]

bob knows idiots on boxingscene would believe this bull****.

[kokingbill]

Maybe Mayweather can finally land his grudge match with Paul Spadafora for May 5 !!!! LOL!!! hahahaha. Thats the level of competition he is interested, not Pacquiao.

[PACnPBFsuck]

Just for once, bro. Point the fingers on your hero. It's HIM who announced this DATE. It's a Mexican holiday. Pacquiao is not Mexican. Think about it!

;-)

PAC is fighting JMM during Veterans day weekend, last time I checked PAC was never inlisted in the U.S. armed forces.

What the Phukk does a holiday have to do with anything? I guess PAC should've have fought Hatton either, Hatton is far from Mexican.

Bob Arum is always losing his cool when it comes to talking about Floyd wanting this fight with Manny. Before Mayweather grabbed May 5th up Bob was saying that Floyd was scared of Pac because of his right hand and since the announcement Bob has been trying his hardest to disregard this fight from happening then trying to make it happen. I think if Pac beats Marquez then Ellerbe and company need to really push for the fight and expose Bob Arum as being the real obstacle of this fight not happening. If the testing is not an issue then call Bob out on it.

exactly. . . If floyd really wants the fight, and it's arum stopping it, then why the hell have they not contacted arum, debeouf, and top rank and tried to negotiate? they haven't. . . not once. . . in fact, the one time they tried to contact floyd, floyd never returned calls, nor called them back. . . what else were they supposed to do? wait for floyd to get done vacationing?

[thatnickuh]

they have rios and margarito (if he beats cotto). but that's not the point. the point is arum already has the next fight lined up for pac. it's pretty obvious from his statement...

Bingo! That's the revelation in Arum's quote, Pacquiao's next opponent has already been lined up and it's not Mayweather.
