*ARUM SAYING HE CANT FORCE MANNY TO FIGHT MAYWEATHER. "IT'S HIS LIFE"
Arum indicated he didn’t want to convince Pacquiao to fight Mayweather on March 13 because “its his life”
but said “ I just want to lay it all out and let him make his own decision.”
Arum said if he (Pacquiao) doesn’t fight it will be a letdown for the sport.
*ARUM BASICALLY SAYING IF PACQUIAO DUCKS THIS FIGHT MAYWEATHER WILL HAVE BEATEN PACQUIAO IN THE PUBLIC'S EYE.
“Mostly a letdown for himself because I can hear Mayweather crowing.
Then he would have won the fight without having to throw a punch. And Manny will never, never be able to repair it.”
Horus Sidenote:
Even Arum understands that if Pacquiao try's to duck this fight, after all the
trash talk, Arum and Team Pacquiao has thrown at Mayweather.
There would be no excuses justifiable to rationize Pacquiao not fighting Mayweather. NONE !!
*ARUM THERE IS NO EXCUSE NOT TO FIGHT ON MARCH 13TH
Arum said "you can make an argument that because he is running for office Manny can’t fight on May 1st but you can’t logically with a straight face make an argument for March 13."
Arum remarked that if the Mayweather camp said its May 1st or there’s no fight then okay, no problem. But they didn’t say that.” Arum said he had been told that Pacquiao can’t campaign until March 25 so March 13 is a perfect, perfect date. Everybody has to work hard. We got to decide right away and get to it.”
Arum said that he hasn’t seen anything like the clamor for a Pacquao-Mayweather fight “in a long, long time where everybody, everybody wherever I go say to me when is the Manny-Mayweather fight going to happen, where is it going to happen or is it going to happen? Its not just the United States its everybody in the world .
*ARUM ADMITS THAT IF PACQUIAO DOESNT TAKE THIS FIGHT, THEN IT WILL BE SEEN THAT PACQUIAO IS DUCKING MAYWEATHER!!
"Therefore the truth is that if for any reason Manny doesn’t want to go through with that fight, his popularity among those people is going to really be diminished because it will look to these people that he is ducking Mayweather.”
*ARUM EXPLAINING THAT PACQUIAO SHOULD NOT TRY TO DRAG HIS FEET.
Arum said "we have everything in place to get it done but we’ve got to start now." Arum indicated "there is no reason why Pacquiao wouldn’t do the fight. He trains in the months of January and February and we are not doing a tour and doing only one press conference in New York at Madison Square Garden." He said Pacquiao can go into training in Baguio City or the Wild Card gym in Los Angeles.
*ARUM IS WARNING PACQUIAO THAT MAYWEATHER WILL BURY PACQUIAO IF HE DUCKS THIS FIGHT AND MAYWEATHER WOULD BE RIGHT TO DO SO..!!
Arum said "I am not here to interfere with his political life and March 13 doesn’t." He also made it clear that if Pacquiao "let’s Mayweather off the hook now by not agreeing to the March 13 date because of politics here in this country then we are never going to get him (Mayweather) in the ring. We will give him the excuse to say ‘yeah I’ll fight anybody but look at this Pacquiao."
*ARUM EXPLAINING WHY PACQUIAO COULD WIN
The astute promoter who promoted some of Mayweather’s fights in the past said he doesn’t think Mayweather "has anything to beat him (Pacquiao) with. I think Mayweather is a very, very good defensive fighter and I think that between Freddie (Roach) and Manny they’ll find a key to be able to attack Mayweather and once Manny can attack Mayweather I don’t think Mayweather can take his punches. I look for Manny to knock him out in six or seven rounds."
Arum cautioned against underestimating Mayweather stating that he is a "very, very good fighter. He is probably one of the best defensive fighters that I’ve seen. But I tell you that as far as Manny Pacquiao, he will destroy Mayweather and that’s why I like the fight, my matchmaker Bruce Trampler who is about to enter the Hall of Fame and Freddie Roach likes the fight and that’s why Mayweather has been reluctant to do the fight" stressing that it is imperative for Pacquiao to agree.
