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

[Mr. Chago]

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum is not paying any attention to the latest talk that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is considering another multi-year retirement. The veteran promoter, who handles the career of Manny Pacquiao, brushed off a recent video interview where Mayweather said "I'm taking a couple years off... away from the sport of boxing. I want to devote my time to my boxing gym." [Click Here To Read More]

Didn't you say no press fot this negotiations??!! STFU and make the fight happen

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.

No bro, I am not missing the point. Just because people don't agree with, does not mean that they are a missing the point. The original statement was that Arum had made many fighter millionaires, why so much hate? By listing four cash cows of the sport, you don't impress anyone by pointing out the fact that they are millionaires. It's shallow to give Bob Arum so much credit for the careers of three fighters of three Olympians (Mayweather, Cotto, Delahoya). These guys emerge from the Olympics with 6 figure deals, especially when they medal like Oscar and Floyd. That is not to say that he is not a good promoter, because he is.. and does not deserve the hate. But don't use the blood sweat and tears of four accomplished multiple weight world champions (Cotto, Mayweather, Delahoya, or Pac) to convince of Arum's greatness. These guys would have been millionaires with their mother's promoting them. So these were terrible examples of the point you were trying to make. Maybe the thing that is shallow is your understanding of the Olympic athlete and crosses over into dollars.

No reason for Mayweather to retire.

I don't think he will. If he does it's obvious he doesn't want the fight with Pac.

WRECKLESS, U fot it figured OUT,
Boy didn't want Pac in March, and

nothings changed, The GREAT AVOIDER
