Pac-Clottey took only two months

arum is going to kill this fight just out of pure greed. he wants to cash in big time... longest promotion time possible.... 40k stadium.... wants floyd to accept top ranks guarantee etc. i really feel if this mindset goes on that the fight will never happen. pac already seems to be on the decline, it's just a matter of time before someone beats him.

No Promotion Needed Okay so you guys apparently have an issue comprehending....In 2010 Mayweather and Pacquaio were negotiating a March 13th bout. That would have been 2 months of promoting....Freddy Roach is claiming a bout with Mayweather and Pacquaio can't be made for May 5th because there is no time to promote. Two extra months get it....the same amount of time it took to promote Mayweather v Mosley and Mayweather v DeLaHoya They could not do any promotion tours and still break the ppv record. ^^^ This. Those two fights were basically in boxing buzz for years. De La Hoya/Mayweather was being hyped for basically one year to the day, when Oscar beat Mayorga and Floyd was in attendance...Mosley/Mayweather was also discussed at that time (but was in consideration by some boxing fans for much longer than that), but the more lucrative fight was against Oscar. Just like Floyd vs Cotto, Margarito and Williams in their prime. It only took 2 months for Floyd....wait a minute...it is just 2 months, 2 years, 2 decades when Floyd fought them or he faked his retirement because of the welterweight divison was too much for Floyd to handle? What are you talking about? Clarify please.

It took only two months to promote Pac-Clottey but 4 months to promote Pac-Floyd is too little time. And wasn't the first Pac-Floyd fight supposed to be March 13th? Just like Floyd vs Cotto, Margarito and Williams in their prime. It only took 2 months for Floyd....wait a minute...it is just 2 months, 2 years, 2 decades when Floyd fought them or he faked his retirement because of the welterweight divison was too much for Floyd to handle?

Two extra months get it....the same amount of time it took to promote Mayweather v Mosley and Mayweather v DeLaHoya Mayweather proposed the May 5 and Freddie wanted March, because Manny was supposedly running for election. Mayweather, then accepted March, and Freddy said no, they needed more time to train and Prepare Pac because Mayweather is a difficult style. Mayweather then said Ok, let's fight May and then Pac rushed to fight Clottey in March. It's surprising how amnesia becomes a convenience with regards to Pacfans. They do not want the fight and never did. Any loophole they get to dodge they will take it.

They could not do any promotion tours and still break the ppv record.

It took only two months to promote Pac-Clottey but 4 months to promote Pac-Floyd is too little time. And wasn't the first Pac-Floyd fight supposed to be March 13th? If Pacquiao and Arum REALLY wanted this fight it would be DONE! If Mayweather REALLY wanted this fight it would be DONE! At some point one of them has to make a concession but neither one wants to make a concession. Plus, there are just too many people involved in their negotiations.

lol I hope you're not planning on becoming a promoter. Okay so you guys apparently have an issue comprehending....In 2010 Mayweather and Pacquaio were negotiating a March 13th bout.

its just the biggest fight in the century you nimrod. Pac/Clottey vs Pac? Mayweather! :ssss: Sorry OP, got to agree with this guy. Pac vs. Clottey promotion would be peanuts in the eyes of a Pac vs Mayweather promotion. They'll be going overseas for media tours, lots of press, 24/7 would obviously be in for these two men... maybe more than 4 episodes. This fight is billed as one of the biggest ever... and comparing it Pac vs. Clottey is like comparing diamonds to dog pooh.

It took only two months to promote Pac-Clottey but 4 months to promote Pac-Floyd is too little time. And wasn't the first Pac-Floyd fight supposed to be March 13th? You forget they had to make Clottey quick while he was at the weakest point of his career. (With a case of the sh*ts)

Well, because Pac was running for elections and the fight was being rush to be done in march. Pac was campaigning april and may for congressman.

its just the biggest fight in the century you nimrod. Pac/Clottey vs Pac? Mayweather! :ssss: Nimrod...um the proposed May-Pac bout in 2010 was supposed to be March 13th...who's the idiot now?

It took only two months to promote Pac-Clottey but 4 months to promote Pac-Floyd is too little time. And wasn't the first Pac-Floyd fight supposed to be March 13th? I'm all for blaming Manny and Arum but lets be reasonable. Clottey fight is not even remotely close to what this would be.

yes..but floyd pu$$ied out...now, he's back to talking...
