Bob Arum just ruined 2009

What exactly are you waiting for. Hatton best fighting weight is Jr WW but the size should not be a excuse against Mayweather since he outweighs Mayweather when he is fightting at JR WW and Mayweather at WW Stop twisting the subject. Go back to post 42 and tell me what I said that isn't factual. Remember that little tune Billy the Kid was whistling in that saloon just before he emptied the cowboys gun and shot him in the movie "Young Guns"? For the damndest reason it just keeps running thru my head. Go figure. One more bump just to see what you've come up with Flawless.

I'll tell you what, why don't you point out everything I said in that post that wasn't accurate. Everything is fact. Still waiting.....................

The funny thing you ignore is that Goosen add more information to the sage and still Margarito camp has no responded. Williams countered this claim with this thread stating that Margarito was the one who said no to the fight. Margarito camp has never replied back to these claims, why wouldn't if they knew they were not lying, Why would they is more like it. They said it once. Not saying it over and over makes them liars? BRILLIANT!!!! Fact is, Margs camp came out with the accusation first. If the were lying, was this their master plan, to set a smoke screen? Cheebus, Mary and Joseph!!!

WOW, making excuse for Hatton at 147. The funny thing is at Jr WW Hatton outweighs Mayweather at WW. So the weight factor shouldn't be a excuse when hatton also outweighs Mayweather I'll tell you what, why don't you point out everything I said in that post that wasn't accurate. Everything is fact.

http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/showthread.php?t=231650 Read this thread, fool Williams camp said twice that Margarito said no to immediate rematch but they never replied after Williams replied to Margarito first comments. What is next the 4 million is fake, Difference would be that Arum owes Mayweather money from the Judah fight They finally fought and Williams put on a boxing display winning 9 rounds out of the possible 12. Then came the famous post fight interview. Margarito who was outboxed said that he felt that he was robbed and he is the true winner of the fight and still believes till this day. Also in the press conference Margarito stated that he felt he was robbed and will not fight Williams unless promoted by Arum. Before Cotto fight Margarito stated that he has no plans for Williams at all and does not see fit for a rematch WHICH HE LOST. Margarito then was the first person to come out and say Williams was the fighter who said no to the immediate rematch. Williams countered this claim with this thread stating that Margarito was the one who said no to the fight. So.....Margarito was the first to say this, yet you choose to believe the Williams camp which only responded to it. Convenient. And stop with the "Arum owes Floyd" excuse. How many times has Don King been sued by a fighter yet fights were still made? If Floyd wanted those fights he could have made it happen.

Hatton was not a threat a guy who a P4P fighter and already won a title at WW. Judah was once undisputed champion at WW Hatton won his title at 147 over good fighter, but a level below the best at that weight. On top of that it proved Hatton wasn't strong enough to stay at 147, something he said in the post fight interview. and Judah......please, don't act like he cleaned out the division to get those titles. We both know better. He won them beating a weak champion in Spinks. He then lost it to a club fighter. so please, don't even bother with Judah.

He stopped Williams - Margarito 2 and Clotty fight. He canceled Williams - Pavlik The Williams camp rejected the immediate rematch, and Margarito has already beaten Clottey. Tell me, whats the difference with Floyd not wanting to deal with Arum, and arum not wanting to deal with Williams management?

I don't even care about who fights who any more......its all politics and money.....what ever happened to Pride and Passion? its gone!

Mayweather pulled in 325k buys vs a nobody stiff like Baldomir. Margs & Cotto could not even top that fighting each other! So what. Both of them are major threats, and neither of them is a "gimme" by any stretch of the imagination. If Floyd is only concerned with being a money fighter and not taking on the best, get use to having his legacy and heart called into question. Mayweather already has his titles and p4p accolades, if you want to get a guy like that back in the smelly gym you need greenery. Margs & Cotto are boring. Excuses. You can't change the fact that Foyd hasn't taken on a serious threat since Castillo. Everybody else has been hand picked to avoid the real threats at 147. And calling Margs and Cotto, compared to Floyd, lmao! Are you alright son?

Yeah... but that's assuming Pacquiao would lose to Hatton. Who knows, he might end up resurrecting 2009...lol. To be honest, Pacman-Hitman is a megafight in itself and could be a lot more entertaining. emphasis on a lot more entertaining. :D

All of this is going to end really badly for both Mayweather fans and Mayweather haters. Not only will Bob Arum deprive us of the biggest fight of the century, but its very possible that Ricky Hatton WINS that fight in May, and Floyd will officially have no incentive whatsoever to come back to the sport of boxing. Freddie Roach had it right by calling out the biggest name first. If you lose, you lose against the best there is, if you win, you are a God. This Ricky Hatton garbage will blow up in there faces.

Pacman vs Hatton well it is a good fight. pacman vs PBF well it will going to be a WAR. so let this fight lined up for 2009 and lets start it with Pacman vs Hatton on May 2009. and PBF vs Pacman on Sept 2009.

Pac will crush Hatton he is faster (hands anyway) he has better stamina, he hits just as hard, and Hatton comes straight foward. He is wide open for Manny's left hand he will put up a good fight but be knocked out. Peace

I thought Cotto-Marg did close to 500k? http://www.secondsout.com/Columns/index.cfm?ccs=208&cs=27341 It did, and the Flomos have a hard time dealing with it.

I thought Cotto-Marg did close to 500k? The MGM Grand Garden Arena seats 16,000. A disappointing crowd of 10,477 attended the fight. Puerto Rico vs. Mexico is still essentially an east coast rivalry. The bout would have been better attended had it taken place at Madison Square Garden or in Atlantic City. But Arum’s judgment was vindicated by the first post-fight pay-per-view numbers, which indicate that there were close to 500,000 buys. http://www.secondsout.com/Columns/index.cfm?ccs=208&cs=27341

no they did not:chairshot you look at the top shows ppv wise for 08 and they are nowhere to be found. oh and soir that article about bob arum talking about a hatton fight is old news. manny will listen to freddy roach and go for the real money which is the pretty boy You are dead wrong, and I want to see the list you are referring to.

With that said, I would officially change the thread title to "Bob Arum has saved boxing in 2009". Since Floyd has been gone we have gotten more quality match ups in and around his division. I'd like to see the Pac fight, but if it doesn't happen and Floyd stays retired, I won't be shedding any tears. touche' :D

Not only will Bob Arum deprive us of the biggest fight of the century, but its very possible that Ricky Hatton WINS that fight in May, and Floyd will officially have no incentive whatsoever to come back to the sport of boxing. Freddie Roach had it right by calling out the biggest name first. If you lose, you lose against the best there is, if you win, you are a God. This Ricky Hatton garbage will blow up in there faces. Pacman is going to destroy hold em and hit em Hitman!!!!!!!!!!! Then we will see the ultimate fight for the fighter of the decade-Pacman vs Pretty Boy!!!!!!!

Manny Pacquiao is going to roll over Hatton. The fight is going to end quicker than DLH/Pac and Hatton/Mayweather. I don't know how people can't see that. There is no danger in this fight. Any one of us could hit Hatton with left hands. Manny's will kill him. Plus, Manny's bouncing side to side will shut down Hatton's offense since Hatton needs his opponent to back up or stand in front of him, not bounce around. Hatton and Manny are the same size. Hatton just always packed more muscle on. Manny is the more physically gifted, the more skilled fighter, and maybe even mentally tougher (though that may be a wash), and it is a bad style matchup for Ricky. Hatton doesn't stand a chance in hell.
