Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Promoter Blows off Mayweather Retirement Talk

[borgata]

Well..... you added up 2+2 and came up with 5 ?

Any reason for that ?

He aint retiring, he came back for Pac.

You think Mayweather's gonna retire in some "Make a Wish" interview ?

He would do it on CNN, so he can cry in front of the camera again, and tell the world how great he thinks he is.

Good things will come to those who wait

Go buy a rubik's cube.

anybody have this video???

[flint]

hey aztek warrior. mayweather maybe a big ***** to you but he's beaten all your favorites fighters easily and got paid.

I see these nasty reference to Arum all the time, but in the many years I've been involved with boxing, I have never seen him do anything that a normal businessman would not do.

Why don't you tell me, and probaby many others eactly what it is that he does, which causes him to be castigated all the time. He's made many fighters millionaires, including Oscar, Manny, Cotto and Mayweather.

Oscar, Manny, Cotto, and Mayweather would have been millionaires no matter who their promoters where. You just named 4 first ballot hall of fame fighters. I would be more impressed if you name some 2nd and 3rd tier fighters who Bob Arum made millionaires.

Your missing the point. Yes they are all HOF fighters, but to say that Arum had nothing to do with them coming up is shallow. Amir Khan for example, if he didnt have GBP behind him, there is a good chance hes still fighting over seas, and not getting 10x plenty more future HBO time anytime soon. Now sure, Amir just went to GBP not too long ago, but that name helps, with connections for the future.

Bob Arum is no different. EVERYONE HAS DIRT!!!!!! For the people who are saying Arum is this and that, i hope you bad mouth EVERYONE (INCLUDING YOUR FAV FIGHTER), when a controversy arrives. He makes fights happen. Thats his job, and thats what he will continue to do. People who i tend to see who have so much "HATE" for arum, are people who are so loyal to a certain somebody, they feel its almost their duty to rip him, and make him seem like hes never done nothing.

Basically what Arum is saying is, "We all know that Floyd always talk out of his A$$ because all that comes out is just a bunch of crap!"

How can you take Floyd seriously. He bull****s all the time, just like this cleaning up the sport crap! Why don't you clean up your mouth with all the **** that you say.

And the funny part about it is, he has his ***** minions to believe him and stand by him know matter how ridiculous he makes himself to be. lmao...........

what are you, a kid? man, get over it, quit swinging from a fighters nuts so hard. what's wrong with liking a vast array of fighters instead of hugging balls. wise up young blood.

gee wonder why the Pac camp never thought of this before; it soves the whole issue in a nutshell.

[sapaw]

hey haters.this is classic mayweather.look at the timing.even all none believers and especially the dumb haters should be able to see that floyd the real p4p king and greatest fighter of this era is promoting the money vs pac fight.

do doubt, floyd is the greatest fighter of this era for *****s like you! lol who's the BWAA "2009 Fighter of The Year" and "Fighter of the Decade"?

[gwildcat77]

Floyd ducking people in their prime.

DAMN.. PAC met FLOYD'S demands .. and now FLOYD says he wants to take some TIME OFF.. What kind of LEGACY IS THAT?? Why does FLOYD always gotta DUCK people in their prime..

[rogdogx]

The video could have easily been manipulated. Until Floyd actually says he's retiring in a press conference I won't believe it. But if Pac agrees 2 the demands and less then a 50/50 and floyd still walks away u gotta say he's ducking pac.

[LeadUppercut]

so by saying he might take a time off is a way of promoting the fight? GOOD THOUGHTS..

Yes, he is diverting attention away from Pac, and on to himself.
And it cost absolutely nothing, just a careless word

Raising the question that the fight may not happen, for whatever reason, is the most effective marketing ploy available at this very point in time.

If Mayweather were to get caught shoplifting right about now, it would also garner huge interest in the fight.

ANYTHING that gets people talking about this fight is the key.
