Bob Arum: "Singapore offered Floyd 65million"

It doesn't matter, Manny Pacquiao is Asian, Singapore is part of Asia. I am Dominican, if I fight an Asian fighter in Puerto Rico, you think PR will favor the Asian fighter over me in a close fight? I think they like Filipinos in Puerto Rico... I would have no problems with a Pinoy vs. a Dominican on Puerto Rican soil or Mexican soil unlike a puerto rican or Mexicn on their own soil.. To be honest I think they would be not be biased towards the filipino against a dominican. they gave Pinoys standing ovations when they fought there... Just because Pac is asian don't mean that they would favor him... ex.Koreans have a western fetish, I would not favor Pac over a westerner in Korea or Japan. Pinoys have been robbed in thailand and they probably disliked their because of rivalry. Singapore is full of chinese who employ Pinoy domestic help and probably look down on Pinoys. If Floyd wasn't such a dick it probably would not be a problem for him to fight anywhere, even the Philippines.

****! Didn't wear my boots today... Well, you had better grab a ladder cause it's about to get deep..:argue:

Funny coz Pac is an asian fighter fighting on US soil and taking all the belts with no problems. You saying Floyd is too weak to go into another man's territory and take that $65 mill? The U.S.A. is one of the most fairest boxing countries in the world. Robberies are rare, considering the amount of fights that take place in America. In fact, one of the biggest robberies in the 1990's and probably one of the biggest robberies ever, maybe top 10, was An American fighter being ROBBED in the United States of America AGAINST A MEXICAN. And if you want to talk about recent close fights not going to the American, how about Hopkins vs Calzaghe, a guy from Wales comes to fight here, fights a close fight against an American, and gets the nod. When any other country would have backed up their fighter and give them the nod in a close fight. So I am very sorry, but using Pacquiao fighting in the U.S. means nothing, the U.S. does not back up their fighters, instead they hate them and try to destroy their careers in any way they can, the media, judges, everything.

Yeah and that was in indonesia where John is from... Manny is not from Singapore. It doesn't matter, Manny Pacquiao is Asian, Singapore is part of Asia. I am Dominican, if I fight an Asian fighter in Puerto Rico, you think PR will favor the Asian fighter over me in a close fight?

;10642706']Exactly. Roy Jones vs. Park Si Hun all over again. JMM vs Chris John also comes to mind. I hate watching that fight, Marquez just toyed with John.

JMM vs Chris John..... Yeah and that was in indonesia where John is from... Manny is not from Singapore.

Does Johnson really look weight drained?

Floyd did not accept because he is scared of asians but he fear the most Manny Pacman. Flomos just can't accept the fact that floyd's a fraud.......and gay!

i really dont understand why arum needs to "negotiate" through the media. It really seems like, he feels the need to prove something, like someone who tries way to hard and comes of as untruthfull. We´ve all met those type of persons before, trying way to hard, but in the end, the effect is completely the opposite. You go away thinking, what a ****ing liar and douchebag. All this talk about money is pointless, but to arum and his kind, it does seem to be, the numero uno reason for everything. Its quite simple and its not about money, its about something RANDOM.

Why would Floyd fight an Asian fighter on Asian soil? Who is he now, Glen Johnson? Floyd is the bigger PPV star, and he can fight any one else in Las Vegas. Point is, Asian fighter on Asian land=No. Funny coz Pac is an asian fighter fighting on US soil and taking all the belts with no problems.

Shouldve offered that money to midget boy so that he'd take the tests.

LOL at these flomos who are butthurt about an interview against floyd that they wasted time and effort to picked it up and posted it here in NSB and tell everyone theyre not hurting, hypocrisy at its best. funnier thing is that their disputing the statement of one of the person in the know telling its a lie as if these flomos know more of the going ons. what hallucinating idiots

Singapore to host Pacquiao-Mayweather bout? August 21st, 2010 | Author: psports by Ian De Cotta | Today Online SINGAPORE – He is the world’s hottest boxing property and barely five hours after touching down at Changi Airport on Friday, Manny Pacquiao (picture) said he is keen to stage his biggest fight in Singapore. His preferred opponent: The much vaunted Floyd Mayweather Jr of the United States. But Mayweather himself has to say yes. Nothing was said about the doping and blood test issue, which had hampered previous discussions between the two fighters’ camps. Experts predict a clash between two of the world’s best boxers could create one of the biggest purses in the sport’s history, with each earning at least US$60 million ($81.5 million). In an exclusive interview with Media-Corp at Vanda Boxing Club in Havelock Road, the 31-year-old Filipino superstar said he will speak to his boxing promoter, Bob Arum, to help make the event happen. “I will talk to Bob Arum to stage one of my fights in Singapore, maybe next year,” said Pacquiao. His clash with the unbeaten Mayweather would be the one of the most anticipated world championship bouts. Pacquiao, also known as “Pacman”, is the reigning World Boxing Organisation welterweight champion and the only boxer ever to win nine titles in seven weight divisions. Mayweather, the former World Boxing Council welterweight champion, owned nine championship belts in five divisions. A face-off between the two was on the cards in March this year but was called off following unresolved arguments over blood testing for drugs. Pacquiao, who will next fight Mexico’s Antonio Margarito on Nov 13, said: “I want to fight Mayweather because people are excited about it. I will ask Bob Arum if this is the match that can be staged here.” Last year, Pacquiao fought at the 16,800-capacity MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. His last bout was against Ghana’s Joshua Clottey in March at the Dallas Cowboys Stadium in Texas in front of 40,000 fans. Boxing aficionados feel the Marina Bay floating platform could be an ideal venue – with a seating capacity of 27,000 and a stunning backdrop made famous worldwide after two successful Formula 1 races and the opening ceremony of the Youth Olympic Games last Saturday. The Singapore Tourism Board (STB), which arranged Pacquiao’s visit here, told MediaCorp they are keen to help make a fight of this magnitude happen. “This is something we will support and do whatever we can to help make it a success,” said Mr Justin Chew, STB’s executive director for hospitality, F1 and sports. Wow... What a ****ING *****boy that ****er is!

It's true, Floyd has already lost to Pac 41-1
