Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiation points not all agreed to – News

[mushahadeen]

I like how that guy just repeats what a journalist said and then pretends he just wrote a news story. That's awesome.

If the negotiating points aren’t all agreed on, then why is Arum giving Mayweather and ultimatum of two weeks? Is Arum basically giving Mayweather a take it or leave it offer? There’s some people who think that Arum doesn’t want the Mayweather fight right now, that he would prefer to match Pacquiao up with one of his Top Rank fighters instead and keep Mayweather as a future option next year or whenever Pacquiao is poised to retire.

That would make a lot of sense, because Mayweather is likely to beat Pacquiao and very possibly beat him badly. Once Pacquiao gets dominated by Mayweather, the Filipino’s earning power could take a big hit and he could be a lot less popular once the mystique has been deflated by Mayweather’s blinding fast punches. By matching Pacquiao up with his in-house fighters, Arum can likely keep Pacquiao winning until he’s ready to retire from boxing in a year or two.

At that point, Arum would then match Pacquiao up with Mayweather for one final payday, and a likely one-sided loss for Pacquiao. That would be a brilliant move on Arum’s part, if that’s what he’s planning on doing. It would pretty much be a disappointment for fans, though, because they’ve already seen Pacquiao destroy Cotto, and to see him beat him to a pulp again would be painfully boring, especially if they have to pay $50 to watch it again.

The problem with this theory is that Arum could totally lose if Manny decides to retire before fighting Floyd, he doesn't and wouldn't take that chance to miss out on the biggest pay day for him and boxing. The reason for the ultimatum is so he could schedule another fight for November and not wait till next year. Betting on a chance that he could still make a fight with Floyd next year, but that's taking a huge risk of missing out on a huge payday.

you cant give an ultimatum when you dont hold all the chips

Floyd should be getting the heat not pac. Pac wants to fight floyd wants to retire, wants more money, wants a official drug test. Pac agrees to everything and pac gets the heat. Bullsh#t.

[SugarRayCurtain]

Is this even respectable journalism?
Seriously, who writes this ****

"because Mayweather is likely to beat Pacquiao and very possibly beat him badly. Once Pacquiao gets dominated by Mayweather, the Filipino’s earning power could take a big hit and he could be a lot less popular once the mystique has been deflated by Mayweather’s blinding fast punches."

He shouldnt say his opinion like its fact, very unprofessional

Pac agreed to everything? REALLY?? Who confirmed this?? Arum?

[sicko]

if anything breaks down he wants it to look like it is Mayweather's fault, smart move by Arum actually and fans will fall for it and turn it into "Mayweather is scared"

[bojangles1987]

Wow, this guy isn't biased at all...

Just ignore this stuff people. Everything Arum says, Roach says, Pac says, Floyd says, his family says, just ignore it all until a contract is signed or never going to be signed, because you can't believe any of them.

[baracuda]

floyd is the biggest ***** in boxing by far currently.........i doubt he will ever fight pac!
