Pacquiao-Mayweather Unlikely For 2010, Says Arum

[Ray*]

All part of the negotation by Arum, I think it has been proven in the past with common opponents that Arum/Pacquiao are the ones who had difficulties with money or were trying to get greedy at the table than Mayweather.

I think if the monies is right both will come to an agreement no matter what the greedy snake arum says.

[apokalips]

Arum himself won't make things easy either it will be both sides bartering....remember Hatton-Pacquiao negotiations? Floyd will probably use that to his advantage as well...the fact that he fought an undefeated Hatton and probably got a larger share than Manny did against Hatton. I'm not that much of a numbers guy so someone else could probably dig up the facts.

IMO Floyd deserves a bigger share, but I think these 2 will just wanna get it on after a while, because Floyd definitely wants to beat Pacquiao to prove he's the top guy. At least I hope so but yet again what is it with Uncle Bob mentioning Pac-Floyd and not Pac/Cotto winner vs Floyd. Part of me wants to see Miguel smash Pac to shut Arum up.

[S.G.]

It's Arum who has the history of being difficult to negotiate with, not Mayweather

[apokalips]

LOL damn bringin lifestyles up that **** is jokes why the hell would a lifestyle CHOICE make a difference in negotiatin. The starvin african analogy is perfect! I would green k but...

Yup, I'm sure we all know why Mayweather vs. Pacquiao wont happen. If it ain't because of Cotto, blame Arum.

Yeah, Bob Arum and Floyd Maywether Jr, two stand up guys that you can believe anything they say. If they say anything it must be true.

Pac is not even done with the Cotto fight, it depends on PPV #s, a spectacular win, etc., in order to start negotiations. If he loses I think Floyd will still fight him over Cotto

[lcheezy]

this fight won't happen anyway for 2 very good reasons. #1 manny won't get past cotto. miguel has the monkey wrench in his jab and another monkey wrench to hit pacs body.#2 bob know that pbf will beat the **** out pac and embarrace him and top rank.thats why bob is using money for a excuse.

[DLT]

I know one thing: Pacquiao doesn't deserve less money than someone else "because he's used to it".



DLT, just give it up. You're having a bad post day.

I didnt say he deserved more money than him because of that. I clearly said that its because of the PPV sales and what Floyd has done over his career compared to Pac in terms of money & sales. I said that the lifestlye part will help make guys decisions. Floyd is much less likely to cave because of it and Pac is much more likely to cave. If you guys dont beleive that is a factor then you are crazy. If Im living in a poor country where Im living like a king and this other guy is living in the richest place in the world, you guys dont think that factors into a mindset. You dont think Pac will say "just go ahead and let him have the couple of percentage points, Im set forever in Manilla" while Floyd is saying that Im holding out for every dime because I know that this money can blow easy in Vegas with my lifestyle and what I have to give Uncle Sam while Pac gives Sam nothing.

How can you guys not see that? If it happeneds then I want you all to take it back. I bet Pac will cave 1st & foremost and that will be a reason why

Yup, I'm sure we all know why Mayweather vs. Pacquiao wont happen. If it ain't because of Cotto, blame Arum.

Who needs who more?

[apokalips]
