Arum Tells Mayweather To Drop High Pacquiao Demand

[sandyvahra]

Fraud Gayrunner can't draw flies.

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

Man ain't you tired of getting ur head kicked in day to day? You run out of every thread n talk outta ur a$$. You've made my sig with your ******ity. Cong****.

First off Mayweather already paid off the IRS, he anit broke. He came back because hes sick of hearing PPL say somebody else is better then him. 2nd Pac does need Mayweather. expect for Cotto and Mosley who esle can he fight?? PPL are not gonna want to see him fight Marquez again if he gets KO by Mayweather. Mayweather is the one that can fight Mosley,Cotto,Berto any WW or even go back to JM. I really say they both need each other, but this fight has to happen

Pac has at least 3 top guys to fight not including Floyd. Pac has marque matchups to keep him busy for the next year and a half.
You tell me who else can Floyd fight? That tells you right there who needs who.
Yeah Floyd CAN fight some other guys but he won't.
The only other names out there besides Pac that will bring in PPV are too dangerous point blank unless he goes for a Berto who is still green.

If I was a casual fan the reason I would buy this ppv is because I'd like to get my money's worth by watching a guy trying to knock the other guy out. 55 ****ing dollars better not give me the run arounds and the occasional jabs. I want to see somebody getting their ass knocked out cold... and the more blood the better. Historically which of the two has given exciting fights, no let-ups, constant roar of the crowds, showing no mercy, a warrior with all out war and bad intentions.... not ****ing marathons? The olympics is barely over I can't stand much more running.

IMO, we know the answer as to who is the draw. Hence deserving the bigger share. Equal at most. Cheers...

Bob knows he won't be blamed if this fight doesn't happen..He never is when it comes to Floyd.

Arum has always underestimated Floyd's worth...****ing himself BADLY in the process..He missed-out on the Hatton and Oscar bonanza.

They want Floyd for less than 50/50.....PLUS.....they'll want him at 142..or some other weight he hasn't seen in years.

Floyd will not jump thru hoops for Arum and Pac..especially when you consider Manny's PPV#'s were far lower against common opponents.

Mayweather can tell Bob to screw himself and fight Shane after Marquez.Those 2 fights would equal the profit of a bout with Pac.

That's it, right there.

They don't want any part of Floyd.

I thought Manny was in control here. Guess not.

That's probably why he first decided not to attend the awards presentation.

Arum is pushing for Cotto heavy.

Would love to see what hoops Cotto has to jump through if he agrees to fight Manny.

If arum plays games like this, mayweather will just fight mosley, which is ok with me as well. Im not a negotiator, im not into saying who deserves what, some of you guys flatout calculate percentages for each fighter, mostly based on if you like them or not. Whats going to be used as a measuring stick is the recent common opponents and the PPV numbers that went along with them. I garuntee you thats what theyll do.

and that is whats wrong with most of the people on here.

GOOD POST.

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.

He's back to beat mofos.


I'm sure the guys at 147 would rather fight Floyd,because they can weigh-in on Friday at 147 and enter the ring saturday at 160 like they ALWAYS do.

Dropping to 144 or 142 is not as appealing.


By choosing Floyd...the WW's can take their beatings at their most comfortable weight.

Arum has another chew toy..he's throwing Cotto under the bus.

Fanny Pac is the man at Top Tank now.
