Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is NOT The Plan, Says Arum

[Dave Rado]

Mayweather Vs De La Hoya, who carried the fight= De La Hoya.

Mayweather Vs Hatton, who carried the fight, once again= Hatton.

No, they both carried the fight. DLH didn't sell as many PPVs against anyone else as he did against Mayweather.

Hatton didn't sell as many PPVs against anyone else as he did against Mayweather.

Mamao, I didn't say Cotto can out sell De la Rosa or Hatton but he can out sell mayweather, IMO.

i no you didn say he can't out sell those guys but a fight with cott o vs pac wont sell as much as a floyd vs apc fight right now because you would have the fromer #1 fight vs the current #1 fighter both in the primes and look at ever thread with floyds name gets like 500 replies plus so many people want to see him lose. think about this if he would lose this place would be crazy with the **** talking about that fight.

this is the reason i think floyd right now is a bigger draw. what up with the disrespect i was going to leave it only but you never got back to me.

Cotto has a larger following?? How many buys does Cotto have over 400,000? One!! Thats a pretty big following. Floyd had more buys fighting Judah and Baldomir. Mayweather sells to boxing fans just on pure hate alone. So many want to tune in to watch him lose. Just like Ali used to sell out because so many people wanted some one to shut his big mouth. Ask yourself who do you think was the big draw in the Cotto-Margs fight for the "Ring" WW belt? Exactly Margs!!! Where was all Cotto's followers then?

not true. floyd has never sold more PPV than cotto, except against DLH and hatton

in fact, he sold 350,000 against cinderella bum baldomir, which is his biggest PPV he's done without DLH and hatton

screw mayweather, hes a great boxer but he has hurt the sport and does not deserve a pac fight. if mayweather fights a mosley maybe he should get a shot. cotto pac is a great fight because they are both warriors and not money chasers. anyone who wants to see pac mayweather over pac cotto does not know anything about boxing its that simple.

[Dave Rado]

pac is 135 pounder at the most.

That's a very odd thing to say about Pac when he's the strong betting favourite to beat the dominant fighter at 140lb, in Hatton. If Hatton wins against the odds, then you'll be proved right, but if Pac wins, as most people expect, then you'll be proved wrong. Roach thinks he's become a natural 140 pounder, which is why Pac gave up his Lightweight belt.

[C.Y.]

is it really neccessary to discredit fighters? saying that floyd is garbage, or that cotto is a eyelash plucking quitter isnt going to resolve anything.. it just makes people sound ignorant..

honestly, mayweather vs pacquiao would do way more ppv buys than cotto vs pacquiao.. may-pac might even surpass the may-de la hoya numbers

and another thing about the pac weight issue.. when the guy was fighting at 130, 135, he would weigh in at 130, and on fight night he would be over 147.. floyd weighs in at 147, the next night he's like 148... they're are basically the same size

lol its laughable that pacquiao couldnt make an exciting fight with mayweather if demarcus corley, arturo gatti, zab judah, castillo, philip ndou all did.......face it pacqiaos handlers are scared

arum used jotto, margarito, and pacquiao as bargaining chips......jotto-margarito wouldnt have generated anything without using it as "the guys who mayweather didnt want to fight" even tho the direct opposite is true......not saying the fighters themselves are scared, but we all know bob arum protects his fighters.....look at pavlik for one

when mayweather was signed to top rank arum looked past everything and said he was the better than leonard......then he leaves and arum tries to resign him and fails......then arum talks **** about him and tries to discredit him

[Pullcounter]

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

addendum: arum will never let any of his cashcows near Floyd.

cotto/pac is a ****** fight. cotto is way too big.

i'd rather see cotto/mosley. I would say I want to see cotto/floyd, but arum will never make this fight.

[cortdawg25]

in all seriousness arum does have a point. Mayweather isn't the ppv star he thinks he is. With out dlh or hatton floyds ppv sales were laughable.

they were still better than cottos and pacmans...that's real laughable!
