Pacquiao-Mayweather Unlikely For 2010, Says Arum

[Bushidō]

I think Arum is BSing. By talking about it hes getting people to TALK about it. Plus how long does he think Pacquiao is going to keep fighting. Honestly I can seriously see Pacquiao retiring in his prime after 2010. He has other things hes interested in and he made more than enough money to retire.

Here is the problem with your logic. If Pac set to live like a king. Why would Pac give in? Pac does not need this fight if he set like a king. If Floyd is the one who needs the money more cuz of the lifestyle. He is more likely to give in. Cuz he is the more desperate one. You get my point. By your logic Pac is set. Floyd is not. So Pac dose not need this fight. And, Floyd does. By your logic Pac coud even be a prick about it and demand even a bigger share cuz Floyd is desperate cuz of his lifestyle. He should take what he can get.

To make your point. You should stick to the PPV #'s. Cuz this whole lifestyle point you trying to make. Does not make sense.

Thats not true. Floyd is going to make money fighting anyone right now. We know that. He would still go that route because he has a ton of pride. Pac has no more worries after this fight. Pac might be set like a King right now but he also likes to help his family & community. After this fight he is all good. Floyd however wants to play it the right way. Its not only about yourself but what you know the other guy is thinking. Floyd knows that Pac will cave because he doesnt need as much while Pac knows that Floyd wants & needs alot so he wont cave. Its not just about Floyd knowing he needs more and Pac knowing he needs less. Its also about Floyd knowing that Pac doesnt need as much and Pac knowing that Floyd needs alot. That stuff factors in wether people want to admit it or not

I agree with DLT. Are you guys like half mentally ******ed?? He's not saying that it is a factor of barganing. He is saying it's a factor of mindset... Who's more likely to do what. There some ****** mother fu***s on this forum. They take a couple sentences out of your post and twist it in a way to talk trash on you. Seriously, why can't everyone just be civil in a forum, instead of a bunch of di** heads.

Cuz his point of lifestyle makes no sense. Even in the mindset. Pac could say well I am set for life. I don't need this fight at all. I am set to live like a king. Floyd needs the money more than I do. So why would Pac give in? Pac could even demand 70-30 cuz his mindset would be I don't need this fight. I am set for a king. You feel what I am saying. While Floyd mindset would be well I got all this bills. My lifestyle is flashy. And, I get more money fighting Pac for 10%. Than I do fighting Mosley for 80%. So Floyd mindset cuz of the lifestyles. Is willing to give in more.

[DLT]

With all that being said, the greediest guy of them all by far is Arum. People think that will make him turn it down but there is no way he's passing up on this fight for so many reasons. 1st off it will make him millions. 2nd, he knows Pac is about to retire so he wants to drain him for the most money that he can. 3rd, if Pac beats Cotto than Arum will think that Pac has a serious shot of beating Floyd and how sweet would all that be for Arum. For him to get his richest pay day, to drain his star guy as much as he could before he let him go, and to beat the guy he hates the most and is suing him. No way Arum turns all that down, even if that means caving some

Reed and S a m u r a i are pretty much messing around. I'm sure DLT knows that.

So PAC should be willing to take less because his mindset is that, in the Phillippines his money is worth a lot more, so he should just accept 40%?

Pacquiao/ Arum/ Roach have showed more intrested in Mayweather; then Mayweather has for Pacquiao. People need to understand that. Mayweather can easily go to Shane and still make a ton.

[GRUSTLER]

I think Bob Arum has the history of being a hard guy to deal and
negotiate with due to history of drama with guys like De La Hoya
and Haymon. Arum is a arrogant, cranky old geezer. That's why
Floyd bounced on Arum because Bob didn't want to make the fight
with Oscar happen due to their falling out.

Bro when has Pac ever caved in? Pac was getting his highest payday agaisnt Oscar. And, then demanded more. Pac was getting a good split with Hatton. ANd, then demanded more. And, you right Pac likes to help his family and community. So just for that he would demand more money. Cuz he could help his people more. Could have a lot of family and friends beside him living as kings. He knows Floyd has bills to pay. He knows Floyd is desperate. He knows Floyd is not eager to get in the ring with Mosley. Pac mindset would be in due time Floyd will cave.
