Comments Thread For: Arum Says To Forget a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Fight

[CubanGuyNYC]

One of the biggest travesties ever foisted on the boxing community, that this fight never got done. I don't even want to see it anymore. Both men are past their best. Better late than never? In this case I prefer "never." Sad....

Easy to blame Bob but neither did Floyd. He made it clear this weekend with his "I won't put money in TR's pockets" comment.

Pacquiao had intentions. Arum and Floyd didn't. Health and pride first.

Would Floyd make money if he bought a TR PPV card?

Would Floyd make money if he fought Pac?

You see how silly the idea that "him not wanting to buy a TR card equals him never fighting Pac" is..? The two are very different. One he gets paid, other he flat donates money pretty much.

Just let it sink in for a second.

People here act like Arum won't toss his first born in the ring with a lion if/and given all the bargaining leverage and control of the event..anyone thinking Arum wouldn't risk pacquaio but still in the same breath running around for years saying pacquaio is overrated is presenting quite the oxymoron. If he was overrated as some would state wouldn't a pimp cash out his top ho to the biggest John? or he going to risk a no name john exposing him? If Arum wasn't willing to risk his fighter he would've never forced Mayweather to fight Castillo which btw is on tape both Floyd Jr and Roger stating they didn't want the fight. This fight was never going to happen because it wasn't Pacquaio vs Mayweather it was Mayweather's ego vs Bob Arums ego..and that's all it was in the end. You can't co-operate if both people want to be bosses at the same damn time..same reason why Donaire vs Rigo has taken so long..now i'm willing to bet had a third party come in and said here's a hundred million to each fighter..I control the fight the event and the promo..this fight would've happened..why?Too much money and no side is one upping the other...but alas nobody made the offer and the best we can hope for is fight night someday giving us both fighters in the same game so we can simulate it. Oh and if you want to know what I base my opinion on..well Arum is a student of Don King from the 60's and the Ali era..

Well said, these guys can't make up their mind. One minute it's PAC doesn't draw the next it's arum is protecting his cash cow. These idiots think PAC is arums only main draw. Arums been doing this long before PAC even got on board. If the terms are met guarantee arum wont have any problems to throw manny in there.

afraid of needles and attemting to negotiate a cutoff date suggest in 09 floyd was more than willing.

Never heard PAC said he was afraid of needles. Now this all came straight out of yo bois mouth---

U take the test we gotta fight!

And yes manny u're next!

I never said that, I only said it because that's what the fans wanna hear.

Health comes first, I rather live a poor and healthy life than to live a rich but handicap life.

/debate.

All manny pac had to do was take a test!!

1.Afraid of needles, but has tatoos!!

2.giving blood makes him weak, but somehow does not affect 15yr old olympic girls!! all the little girls in the olympics take the same test!!



Bob arum was afraid to put manny pac in the ring with mayweather!!

True boxing fans have long forgot about this fight. Only Floyd and Pac fanboys still care about this fight. There are too many young up and comers with talent to be stuck on this fight.

you never heard manny agree to testing either all you heard was "there are no more issues other than purse split" yet you believe he agreed to testing.

when manny's team says he's afraid of needles you say well manny never said it. but when his team says he agreed to testing, well you don't point out manny never said it.

lets just agree manny is on medical suspension and floyd is signed to fight ghost on May 4th.
