Arum Tells Mayweather To Drop High Pacquiao Demand

[TheSurgeonMDMPH]

The PPV numbers against common opponents say otherwise.

its not based on #s its based on emotion! get that through your "nuthugging" skull "fanboy".
"fraud" is a "bytch" so he should get less!

AT&T Commercial vs. the cover of Time Magazine...

Someone just wrote that Floyd Jr. is bigger than Pacman because of the AT&T commercial? WTF? I hate to say it but Pacman is on the cover of Time Magazine. When has Floyd been on the cover of Time Magazine?

Plus, Pacman has an entire country behind him and Floyd has about 100K fans. Every huge fight he has had is because he was the B-side of the equation. The same cannot be said of Pacman. Pacman got a 52-48 split over Hatton, Floyd Jr didn't even get that much (48%) when he fought Hatton....

Pacman is the bigger draw (and the more **** for your buck) and deserves the bigger piece of the pie...

A lot more people watch TV then read Time Magazine. You do not know what you are talking about, so no reason to respond to the rest.

If you ask me, I think 70 -30 in favor of Pacquiao. Mayweather is a smart fighter but not as great as Pacquiao who is on a different league. Mayweather is not an exciting fighter if you compare him with Cotto, Mosely, Gatti, Pacquiao, Duran, Sugar Ray, Hearns...

Do you know anything about boxing?

No problem, Pac can just say next and your boy Floyd will retire because there are only really dangerous fights out there if he can't fight Pac.
Why did Floyd come out of retirement? To fight Pac. Then who has the bargaining power?
Pac has options and will fight other fighters, Mayweather has one choice and that is either fight Pac or retire because you know he will not fight any of the other guys.
It is either all Pac or all nothing for PBF!

I cannot agree with this more. I agree with BOB ARUM

Fraud Gayrunner can't draw flies.

He's rich and famous because of affrimative action programs and media favoritism.

If Manny is hot as you claim he would have made more fighting Hatton and Oscar than Floyd did.

His numbers were far lower against common opponents.

You are perfectly right so Arum/Pac can say 60/40 take or leave it.
Floyd has his options, he can go fight Cotto, Clottey, Shane or Williams.
Arum/PAc are not holding Floyd hostage...he has options. Now will he exercise them, that's another story.
