Arum to Mayweather: "You want a Pacquiao fight? Fight Cotto or Marg first."

[Chunk..]

Or Leonard Ellerbe could tell Pacquiao "You want Floyd? Go fight Marquez again"

That's very true IMO.

The coin can always be flipped.

[Pullcounter]

Should Arum say that to Floyd if Top Rank is approached by Floyd's people for a Pacquiao fight?

I would if I was Arum. It'd get 2 of his fighters big money fights.

hell no, there's just too much money in a pac/pbf fight... the only obstacle is pbf's purse demands and the lawsuit between arum and pbf.

Sounds like excuses to me.

All the Pac fans were just saying a third match with Marquez was not an option because it "makes no money" and that Pac already beat him and it proves nothing.

Now all of a sudden they want a third match to save Pac from Floyd.

and Floyd fans want a Pac match so he doesn't have to face Margarito or Cotto.


Either way, Floyd is in a sticky situation if he does come back to fight Manny. If he does, its because of the money he will make. That alone goes back on his word of not needing any more. If he fights Manny, everyone will know he ducked Margarito and Cotto to fight the smaller men in Hatton and Pac.

then I think.. that either way... is good that manny won last saturday... it will prove one thing or the other! no escape

[Eric Holder]

that'd be funny as hell if Arum said that to Floyd

I mean really after Hatton which is a big fight also that will bring in much cash, who is there that would really bring in the long green for Pacman and by extension Arum.

He is retired, so he would have to be lured out of retirement, which means you really do not make crazy demands on him because he could just say **** you I am retired and I hate you anyway Bob so good luck making as much money as you will make with me elsewhere. Bob Arum knows all of this, they need each other to make a HUGE fight, it is not all Floyd and it is not all Pacman but together it would make for a huge fight. After Hatton what is left for Manny? JMM but there is a ton more money to be made with Floyd.

You should be happy if Floyd takes this fight because he will have to bury the hachet with Arum, which would allow for Floyd to possibly fight some welter weights that people get so bent out of shape about Floyd not fighting~ then again he could just retire again after so who knows.

He'll get two words from floyd,
"**** You"

**** gayweather, make that punk ass fight marg or cotto, especially since pac is going to have his hands full with hatton and marquez next year.
Matter of fact, if the fight comes to fruition, Have gayweather fight pac at 140

pacquiao has a lot more options than floyd does right now tbh.

[The Gambler1981]

pacquiao has a lot more options than floyd does right now tbh.

After Hatton which will bring in a lot of cash for sure, who else will bring in more then 10 million to Pacman. Both of them have limited options, until they only have each other.
