Mayweather vs. Pacquiao is NOT The Plan, Says Arum

[Sin City]

This is a negotiating ploy,downplaying Mayweather's marketability so that Flyof won't ask for too much.Floyd's fight sells and brings more money than anyone because Floyd is a crossover fighter.The casual fan knows Floyd and the press quotes Floyd.

the regular casual fan swore they would never buy another Mayweather PPV again after watching him against De La Hoya...

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

LMAO @ you guys....

Right Keep thinking Cotto is a bigger star than Mayweather..LOL

Bob Arum is a bitter ***** thats it...

Whos the one who sounds like a bitter ***** now?

[el malo]

Cotto has no business fighting pac PERIOD. Yet when he does you'll be right there licking his nuts.

like you lick floyd's nuts lol

[el malo]

Do they call you milkyway because your face gets full of man milk?
I bet the 12 stands for the dirty dozen that delivers it!

exactly hahahaha

i agree pac has no business at ww. like mangler said a bunch of times and i sigged, floyd needs to fight top ww or stay retired. and cotto needs to keep doing what he's doing, fighting the top ww's. the hypocrisy will be funny though! lol

Whether he belongs there or not is irrelevant. If he chooses to fight there he should fight the best. That said, I think he should have stayed at 135 for awhile and then bounced to 140. But if his plans are to fight at 147 after Hatton he'd be best suited to fight someone in the lower half of the top 10 before tackling Cotto. I admire Manny's courage, but he should let his body acclimated at 47 before taking on a Cotto or Mosely.

i agree with everything but it wouldn't make no sense for pacman to take on anybody outside of the top five. high risk very low reward.

there's some good fights at 140 for him. campbell, marquez, holt, bradley, urango. **** maybe even ortiz when he's ready. pac vs ortiz in a year or 2

Yeah, you're probably right. and Im sure his team isn't just going to throw him to the wolves if they don't think he's ready. I don't think Roach would let that happen.

[two_guns]

come on arum

i think if anybody deserves to fight pacquiao its marquez,not saying cotto would'nt make a good fight .but cotto would knock him out in 3 to 5 rounds.
marquez/pacquiao is full of suspense.and now with more weight maybe marquez can withstand the power evening the odds.or maybe thats why they don't want a trilogy.

Thats what Im talkin about! I wold love to see him fight Campbell or JMM again, and I think the others (besides Urango, who I think Pac would destroy) could be intersting fights against solid contenders.
