Arum Tells Mayweather To Drop High Pacquiao Demand

[znarfv_y2k8]

Just say you are a PAC fan and thinks he deserves more..Your arguments are high schoolish at best.

When Hagler beat Mugabi and Hearns; who was in their primes by brutal knockouts and then fought Leonard who was coming off a 2 1/2 years layoff WHO do you think was the draw?? You are correct if you answered LEONARD..

You have to dig dipper, u can't compare Leonard to Floyd still far...Leonard is an ATG, he fought the best there could be, he's exciting to watch, he has a great style, he's lucky because he has fought with the greats (Hearns2x, Duran3x, Hagler1x) w/ a 4 wins,1 loss, 1 draw record, no wonder he is the draw, the same way Pacquiao was lucky he fought w/ the greats (Marquez2x, Barerra2x, Morales3x w/ a 5w-1l-1d record)...Floyd is still questionable w/ his zero record, w/ his heart, he is unlucky to hasn't fought the same level of great opponents in his resume...as simple as that...

Floyd "Fraud" Mayweather is definitely not bigger than the Pacman. What a shameful way to avoid a fight with the current Pound-For-Pound King (Manny Pacquiao)! Hahah!

Damn right...besides that Mayweather is the biggest fight for Manny, and for boxing....Make it happen 50-50

So what happens if Mayweather vs Marquez produces more than Pacquiao vs Marquez. If you wanna go by numbers Mayweather is a bigger draw, it's black and white.

It's apples and oranges. Pac is a far bigger draw now than he was at the time of the Marquez fight, it's not even remotely comparable. One of the dumbest posts I've ever seen.

**** you haterz.............. Floyds teh man to beat it shud be 70/30 PBF because his is unbeaten.............. morons

You are just "shell" without brain! Pacman's accomplishment has overshadowed your fighter's (Fraud Mayweather) accomplishment. And, he is just coming out of retirement. Unbeaten? Yeah! Because he kept on ducking the best fighters out there. Couldn't blame you though.. JUST REALIZED, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OF THOSE BRAIN MATTER INSIDE THAT SHELL OF YOURS.

Who is more exciting to watch is irrelevant. Every time there is a Floyd thread on these boards there are hundreds of posts within hours. He gets more interest here by far than any other boxer, including Pac. He has a lot more haters than Pac does, but the haters will pay to watch Floyd in the hope of seeing him get beat.

Either side asking for 60/40 is completely idiotic. Neither side is likely to accept less than 50/50, so if they want the fight to happen, both sides should just stop the BS and accept 50/50.

I agree that haters will pay to watch Floyd seeing him beat.

I disagree that excitement is irrelevant. People were excited to watch because there are many factors to consider, they're intrigue, they want to prove whose the best, they want to see the other fighter beaten, etc...Excitement is that major factor to consider in this boxing world, a product produced of media hype among the boxer writers & fans. Every time he gets his name here, it gets more interests because Pac's name, or other legitimate opponents are always being mentioned & paired w/ him...

Are you a moron, do you have any piece of evidence? How could Floyd generated more than a million in every fighter he has fought...Only the Dela Hoya Fight made more a million the seconds highest he has made is w/ Hatton generated more than 900k ppv buys...300k+ ppv buys is a very successful event in most common popular fights...Even Dela Hoya made only 3 more than a million ppv buys, (Trinidad 1.4 million ppv buys, Hopkins 1million, Floyd 2.15 million)...You would like to mislead readers as idiot as you are...

wow you really dont know what your talking about

[Xcusemymood]

Chiyoko also doesn't understand what his writing about because that numbers 300k actually ppv buys in Pacquiao's fight & if that is the case it generated millions of dollars not $300k...

USA Today 3/27/2008...Top Rank chairman Bob Arum, the fight's co-promoter, previously announced the bout generated $3.3 million in ticket sales at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, a record for Pacquiao's fights. Pacquiao's three bouts with Erik Morales were his previous career benchmarks, all generating between 345,000 and 360,000 pay-per-view buys. The Pacquiao vs Marquez II generated 400k ppv buys...

shaking my head right now

But if Pac v JMM draws more than PBF v JMM...well its gonna be a fun day on the forums!

[JAS_JAS]

Floyd sold FAR MORE ppv buys than Fanny Pac against the same opponents.

He is the man and the better fighter.


Fanny Pac is feasting on Floyd's leftovers instead of resolving his issues with JMM.

He cherryducked the sorriest mofo at 135.

look at both resume's and see who is the greater fighter and the cherry picker of them both, you ******ed piece of ****.
