Comments Thread For: Arum Calls Mayweather Announcement a Ploy For Dates

lol no body gives a ****, then why say anything LOL ARUM smh. He a man filled with such hatred. He will say and do anything to make money at any cost even if the price is his integrity.

It's obvious that Mayweather did it on purpose. Mayweather doesn't sell PPV's, his opponents do. lol He also gave away his plan to fight Robert Guerrero on May 4th and Canelo on September 14th. Which means the Pacquiao fight will never happen. It's official, Mayweather is afraid of Pacquiao! I think Arum should make Pacquiao vs Rios on May 4th so that HBO goes with the Pacquiao fight which is obviously the more exciting fight of the two and that way Mayweather gets stuck on ESPN fighting Guerrero. lol I think its clear that Pacquiao is the P4P greatest of all time!!!

WOW...........

...Arum hates the fact that Floyd left him and became the biggest star and highest paid athlete in the sport.

What did him in was the fight between Mayweather and De La Hoya...that bout generated major dough and Arum couldn't get in on that. He had both fighters at one point and seeing that happen crushed him

this is a bluff, mayweather is jealous of pacquiao getting all the attention, no way mayweather fights twice, what happened to health comes first?

[richardt]

Arum calls the dates a "Ploy". Thats BS cause it is first come, first served and if Mayweather got their first, he gets those dates. What was stopping Arum from reserving those dates ahead of Mayweather?? I may not be a huge fan of Mayweather, other than a deep appreciation of his ring skills but Arum snoozes so he loses.

Ole Bob is just pissed his cash cow has been put to sleep & he'll be lucky if people want to see him again taking a good night sleep after they have paid good money. Arum is the sports biggest liar, I'm still waiting to see when he was going to brake ground on that stadium needed to make the Floyd fight. Guess that lie was swept under the table like Pac Boy getting ktfo.....

May-Guerrero is not ppv material anyways

Well if you were running the show you would be busted ass broke , Floyd is the biggest name in boxing , you need to understand the business element of the sport , its as integrated into decisions as is legacy , probably more so , what governs PPV material is can they sell it , with Floyd yes they can !

Bob's just ****ting a brick because he may want those dates, and he knows full well he can't go H2H with any Floyd fight unless Pac is fighting JMM again. If Bob wasn't a greedy pos he would actually be willing to work with GBP and we could see fight cards with TR and GBP fighters on these dates.

True, but he has himself to blame. Floyd wanted $20 mil to fight Oscar, Arum didn't think that was there for Floyd, Floyd disagreed and proved that it was. The bottom line is that it is about the money for Arum, but it's also about having total control over how the event is promoted.
