Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is NOT The Plan, Says Arum

[fdotorres]

FLOYD/zAB DID 400 K, COTTO/ZAB 225K
FLOYD/GATTI 360K, MALIGNAGGI/COTTO 90 K
FLOYD BALDOMIR 340 K, COTTO/MOSLEY 400K


I THINK FLOYD IS EDGING COTTO WITHOUT HATTON OR OSCAR!

gatti carried the floyd fight. you can even tell that by what floyd was saying in the press conferences

NO ONE wants to see paulie fight. i don't know the exact sales, but i doubt hatton sold much against him either. besides, that was cotto at 140. he got famous at welter

thanks for the floyd/zab and cotto/zab clarification. i accept my fault there so my mistake man

point is, they aren't far apart in following, and cotto vs pac is not only easier to make, but also cotto would ask for a lot less money than floyd. plus, its a givne that it'd be a more entertaining war

Mayweather-Baldomir did over 400k. That speaks VOLUMES with regards to Floyd's drawing partner. Pacquiao couldn't sniff that without a big name--and I don't mean Morales or Barrera.

Where did you get that number? It was 325 K last time I checked...

According to this ***** baracuda..Cotto draws more than Floyd.

LOL

no need to act soo tough on threads,no one can see you!all im sayin is mayweather would want helluva lot more compare to cotto when both are in the same level fighters

[baracuda]

If Floyd's PPV sales are laughable without DLH or Hatton what would you call Pacquiao's PPV sales without the two?

you forgetting his fights with morales,barrera2 and marquez rematch compare to mayweather sv castillo which imo was his 1st loss!

[supremelygifted]

What do you mean? Wasn't Floyd the WBC Welterweight champion..and defended the belt??

Floyd's had fights with Zab, Hatton, and Baldomir at 147 along with a fight with Oscar at 154. He barely did anything at 140 and he knew the money was at the higher weight classes. Plus, the dude walks around at about close to 160.

I'm all for Pac fighting Floyd and IMO it's not that drastic of a size difference, but you're telling me it's unfair for him to fight Cotto or Mosley as if they're too big for him? Then what was Oscar? (WTF? lol)

That's not at all what I'm saying. Roy won the heavyweight championship. Do you think he could have campaigned there against Klitscho and Lewis? Fighters move up beyond their natural weight to fight smaller guys in a higher class all the time. That's all he did. I've seen Floyd in person and I weigh 167 and he's smaller than I am. He walks around in the 150's for sure!

[baracuda]

Actually this is the translation: I rather see a real war guys hitting eachother none running from the other and doing pot shots all fight long.

your translations is better than mine,right on target!

But Roy didn't claim to be the world's best heavyweight.

And then he fought Tarver at Tarver's weight class, he didn't fight him at heavyweight, whereas Floyd fought Hatton at 147.

[FRESHMC2]

cotto and the pacman would be a great fight! if mayweather is as smart as he says he is, he wont come back...

[twinchrome44s]

Cotto needs to wait until he's off Arum's roster then demand an even split but in the meantime beat Clottey convincingly...I bet Mayweather gives Cotto a shot when he leaves Arum.

Mayweather against Castillo was NOT PPV!!!
