Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is NOT The Plan, Says Arum

[Vladimir303]

Once again, Arum is doing all the DUCKING for his fighters.


This is what happened with Cotto regarding Mayweather but of course Miguel doesn't get blamed because he didn't duck Floyd personally.

F-ck Arum and roach's opinion....trying to get leverage. Make it happen how rare does a former p4p#1 able to fight the current one.Win or lose for pac atleast we get too see it happen.

Exactly. Its not everyday or generation you get to see an SRL-Hearns match.

[BadNewz]

From now on his name should be Manny Punk-quiao.

Their plan will backfire floyd has a lot of options as well.imo.

Translation: I dont want pac to lose to Floyd, i rather he lose to Cotto.

real translation:i don't want floyd to fight pac for he wants more than he can produce.cotto will produce helluva lot more and it'll be all action packed.

Pac vs Floyd = 3 mill ppv hits.....Minimum

Bob Arum just has no shame in his game. He lies as easily as he breathes. Im no floyd fan but there is no fight out there in boxing bigger than Floyd vs Pac. NONE.

THE FIGHT DOES A MINIMUM 3 MILLION PPVS.....MINIMUM.

U can say all u want about floyd, but his ppv numbers dont lie, 2.4 mill vs oscar biggest in history, 800k vs hatton, before that he averages around 500-400k fighting bums like judah & baldomir. Imagine what will happen when he fights a legitimate superstar who also happens to have a superstar fanbase.

I dont know what arum's angle or reasoning for saying such a bold face lie. No fight out there is bigger than pac vs floyd. Only way the fight goes to **** is if floyd loses/looks bad in his tune up outing.

if pacman were to beat hatton, then sizw shouldnt be to big of an issue against cotto, in which case that is the BEST fight out there and it would be an absolute blood bath, two of the top skilled boxers in the world at war, nothing is better than that. cotto deserves it alot more especially if he knocks off clottey, mayweather has never fought anyone nearly as good as clottey or mosley.

[baracuda]

There's big big difference from a promoter not wanting the fight and a fighter not wanting any big fight where he could possibly lose.

it's just a bait for floyd to lower his price on the fight so that arum can make more.we all know it's a superfight we all want to see

[dsol]

bold statement ****head

[javelin_fangs]

This is EXACTLY what I hate about Bob Arum. He'll **** on fighters for not taking fights on his terms, but he'll completely dodge fights that make perfect sense because of his own grudges. I just don't understand what a lot of you see in him as a promoter. It's like he's Chris "Ike Turner" Brown and y'all are Rihanna.
