On a serious note, if the fight doesn't get made then boxing history could always look back and lable this incedent "The fight that never was" and boxing would still produce great stars with or without Manny and Floyd.
Why would you just blame one fighter if the Pac Floyd fights falls apart again?

I think that blaming Arum for being a sleazy promoter is like blaming a King Cobra for being a King Cobra. It's kind of a requirement if you want to succeed as a promoter in boxing.
Seriously which boxing promoter isn't a sleaze bag buissnessman who tries to screw evryone else and lie as much as possiable?
Come on guys stop looking for a scapegoat so your fighter can look squeeky clean.Comment

because talking smack/****, accusing, smearing, degrading, prejudice, slandering and ripping on one boxer over the internet is just so much fun

And, it just so happens that his promotional company holds the deck of cards regarding talent/ PPV draws, therefore look how much easier it would be to bring two fighters of his own promotional stable to agree to terms as suppose to another promoter chiming in to agree to their terms.Comment

floyd compromised more than pac back in december and pac still walked. so how is it both of their faults?
at some point in time, fingers have to be pointed at the guy who actaully walked away. especially when pac is now wanted to accept the terms he orginally walked away from that are no longer on the table, might i add
saying its "both of their faults" is a copout
this time around, floyd holds all the cards, he doesnt have to compromise.Last edited by Pacquiao'd; 07-02-2010, 06:32 PM.Comment

And, not that I'm siding with Arum because I think he's just as low as any other promoter but people really shouldn't fault him for looking at other options if this fight doesn't fall through. It's what promoters do.

also, people need to start faulting pac instead of arum at times. arum works for pac, pac can tell arum to cut the **** out but chooses not toComment

You get no argument from me in that regard, but hey, with this much money involved a promoter needs to milk the hype for what it's worth and have a stand-by option available. In this case it's two fighters from his own stable who wouldn't make any bones in signing the dotted line in the event that plan "A" (Floyd fight) doesn't come about.Comment

I'm mad at both men and both camps. I have been for a while. I'm somewhat on Mayweather's side, but really that's only because I was a pretty big fan of his (although he's forced me to not be as much anymore) and I had never really been a fan of Pac.Comment
