Comments Thread For: Insider Notebook: Mayweather-Pacquiao Mania, Mosley

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Robert Morales - Boxing is on a roll, thanks in large part to two ultra-talented fighters by the name of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao. But how much would a fight between the two not being made slow that roll? After all, the whole world is watching, and it wants to see the two meanest hombres in the business rumble.

A couple of hours after he played host to a conference call Wednesday afternoon, promoter Bob Arum was asked by BoxingScene just how detrimental it would be to the sport should a second round of negotiations for this fight not bear fruit. Arum chose to speak in only positive tones.

"I don't want to dwell on the negative and I don't want to really answer that question that way," said Arum, Pacquiao's promoter. "I would say it would be absolutely great for the sport for the fight to happen and it would focus the entire world's attention on the sport of boxing. That is the way I would look at that situation rather than look at how bad it would be if it didn't happen." [Click Here To Read More]

Nice Cotto fight is getting big, 40k is a great number and there should be a great crowd that day

It's good to hear sugar Shane isn't retiring. I think he has a few fights left in him although not at 147 anymore. I'd love to see a cotto rematch at 154 or Pwill at 154. But I'd pay to see Mosley Vs Martinez at 154 or 160.

Can't we all just get along.

Mosley is my favorite fighter. I dont think he should retire... although im sure a majority of people on this site will say he should after that performance against Mayweather.... But I think he still has a few fights left in him, of course they should be more careful about who they put him in the ring against. He just has too much problems with pure boxers. The Cotto rematch at 154 or Pwill or Cintron provided he doesnt actually retire because of that weirdness.

Merchant hit the nail right on the head. If Floyd is SOO GOOD and expected highly to beat Pacquiao with ease then why the sudden demands for serious drug testing, why now.... If your in the check cashing businesses and this is probably the biggest payday of your entire career, why throw it all away with this drug testing nonsense.. Its just seems to fishy that he would want that all of a sudden against a man that has been putting fighters to sleep, rest on their stool, or knocking out..

Thats what Manny is doing for refusing the test , and he looks like a cheat hiding something in the process , WTF is wrong with a guaranteed PEDS free fight its a great thing for world boxing , having a Star fighter say Im not having that sort of thorough testing so I can earn 40 million dollars ,, lol *** of with your bull**** , for the money and fame on offer lets rule out any form of cheating from happening ,, you guys have got to grow up on this stuff its way bigger than the little boy stuff Im not doing it because he asked .
