Mayweather-Pacquiao: Arum Blows off Floyd's Demand

[roujinziro]

This is all just posturing by both sides. Mayweather has generally been the B side of big fights. And due to activity, I think the purse should be at least 50-50 with a slight swing towards Manny.

Depends on what Pac does with Hatton

All you Mayweather LOVERS !

If Pac destroys Hatton, how in the world can you say Gaycurdawgweather LOL deserves an even split or more money????

Remember what Gaycurdawgweather did with Oscar?????? My my, he just barely won by one point AND if poor ol Oscar would have just thrown a few more jabs he would have beaten the cry baby {gatti fight}-------SO------if the main PFPound fighter in the world today which is the one and only Pacman the cur dawg killa, goes out and sticks to the plan, he will put ol Hatton down and OUT !!!!!! Don't you see !!!!

Gaycurdawgweather is gooooooooood , BUT, he's got me questioning his championship heart, he is so good and so fast, he overwhelms his opponents except the elite like the first fight he really lost with Castillo and good ole OSCAR ! He turns like a CUR and runs to the corner and rolls his little shoulder But if he will come back there are plenty of good fighters that will knock that little shoulder OFF and then bean his little head, the dude has been brought up goooooooood by Arum , put him in with guys who couldn't beat him except the first Castillo fight then when he and Arum split he finished his glorious career with fights with Gatti, in which he cried like he really did something and Baltomier how ever you spell his name and then a washed up Zab who did the nice chicken dance with Kosta and then what did he really do with Oscar after blowin and sayin he was gonna destroy him??? NOTHIN !!!!

If Roach would have had Pac in the beginning of his career he would never have lost , BUT, thru those loses he PROVED his Gameness !!!!!! Gaycurdawgweather has NOT!! Groomed to win, Manny came up fighting as a boy, fighting men but never quit and got better and better.

He has to destroy Hatton, I believe he will, and then Pac and Gaycurdawgweather need to come in at 140 - 143 and Pac will check his Gameness. Just remember we are now not back when Pac lost as a boy , remember what Pac did to Oscar and what Gaycurdawgweather did to Oscar and if Pac destroys Hatton remember what Gaycurdawgweather did to Hatton, how long and how he ran and rolled and nearly went down early.

We'll see !

floyds finding how how fast the world will forget/stop caring about you if you disappear for long enough. i heard they turned down even putting him in a boxing game because it wasn't worth paying him

[Young Mike]

This is just a negotiation ploy so that Floyd can lower his expectations.Arum Knows Floyd will get the lion's share.

Pacman couldnt knock out Marquez,Floyd will decimate Marquez then go on to get the lion's share

Well Mayweather couldn't knock out Judah, Corley & Sosaand Miguel Cotto did. I guess Cotto decimated them. Atleast Manny Pacman fought a younger Marquez in his natural weight. Floyd is just hiding from the real challengers. Marquez is a great fighter, but theres a weight limit for all fighters.

[FLY TY]

pac should get 60% or more no matter who he fights, he's the p4p king

you forget? manny became p4p #1 only after WHO retired?

LOL @ bob arum!!!

floyd's a nobody now b/c ARUM said so?

you mention dude's name around here, and you get a thread at least 70 pages long.....

[Jean28]

I feel bad for Hatton. NOBODY, not even Arum, is giving him a chance. lol

[Xcusemymood]

DLH-Mayweather sold nearly twice as many PPV buys as DLH-Pacquiao did though (2.2 million vs. 1.25 million).

How much Pac-Hatton sells remains to be seen.

But based on their fights with DLH, Mayweather was the bigger draw.

Then again, Pac is probably a bigger draw now than he was then, because of the way he beat DLH. And if he beats Hatton, he'll be a bigger draw still.

There you have it. Let see what Hatton/Pac does and there will be a pretty clear measuring stick as to what Pac brings to the table against Mayweather. Its quite dumb from anyone to be saying Pac is the draw against Floyd at this point.

[Pacmanjay]

When people make contracts they go to the past, Floyd has his resume of PPV numbers to bring to the table, that alone gives him the edge, in fact based on his numbers, he should get around a 70/30 split.

wut the ***? 70/30

Now you should really go *** urself because nobody should take you seriously.

Floyd's "resume" doesn't matter, because everyone knows those record PPV numbers weren't because of him.

You gotta be ***ing kidding, 70/30....

Really bad post man. Really bad.

[Benny Leonard]

Wonder if Pac would be dumb enuf to want Mr boat buyer at 147.

So you would want Floyd to risk showing up "flat" for the fight?

The only reason he wouldn't want Floyd at 147 is to do what Freddie has been saying: He wants to take something away from Floyd by fight-time.

Fight-Time weight is the Most Important thing...at least to me. I'm not a fan of fighters trying to make weight for the scales because then you have the chance of unhealthy fighters or worse, a Gatti vs. Gamache type fight; although what a knock-out.

Pac was 147 when he fought Diaz at lightweight. Floyd is 149 usually for his WW bouts. Pac should come in at 147+ against Hatton. Pac was 152 pounds with 6% bodyfat while training for Oscar (according to Freddie Roach). 147/WW shouldn't be a problem. They could even put a "cap" on the weight allowed to gain by fight-time. Say, 149 tops or just have it at 147; the acutal weight of the division.
Both Pac and Floyd have fought at WW; so what's the problem?
