Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao Conference Call Set By Bob Arum

[Ravishing]

What deadline lol? Bob arum doesn't run boxing, he can't tell floyd what to do. Floyd doesn;t have to listen to some bull**** deadline created by a bull**** promoter.

It's like a car salesman having a little time counter counting down the time you're allowed to buy a car. Uhh wtf, I have the money!

Floyd doesn't run Boxing either. If he doesn't sign on to fight Pacquiao, it won't be Pacquiao that'll be downplayed in the media because his options have already been put on the table and the general public are simply waiting for Floyd's decision. Pac will go on and make money with someone else (obviously not as much) while Floyd may be killing his own momentum that he had off the Mosley win and virtually giving it right back to Manny who then would be in the spotlight.

i totally understand bob arum hes using Mayweather too promote his fight with margocheato and pacroid think about it every one wanna see pacroid v.s. Mayweather now if you talk about mayweather for just 1 sentence some one will listen then he throws out margocheato and cotto and say thats the back up aka his plan too use mayweather name too build interest in his fight with pacroid and margo

No because I doubt the fight will happen. Floyd isn't going to bow down to arum, so arum will make pac vs marg.

Then after that fight pac will retire. It's bull**** and pac knows it.

HAHA Pac is not retiring after Marg, Otherwise why wouldnt Arum put him against FLoyd and have him make 3x as much money and have him retire, instead of retiring after Marg?

All the Floyd fans say Arum will lose his Cash cow if he loses to Floyd but if he fights Marg and retires not onl does he lose his cash cow but also lost all that money that come with a Floyd fight.

Your all calling Arum greedy but expect him to take the path that will get him WAY less money, PLEASE

Floyd is p4p #1 and the bigger draw, so yes floyd basically runs boxing right now.

What deadline(Testing) lol? Bob arum (Floyd) doesn't run boxing, he can't tell floyd (Manny) what to do. Floyd (Manny)doesn;t have to listen to some bull**** deadline (OST) created by a bull**** promoter (Fighter).

It's like a car salesman having a little time counter counting down the time you're allowed to buy a car. Uhh wtf, I have the money!

Couldn't help myself Forza...but I fixed your post for ya!

I wont be surprised to hear that the fight is on-like I have said before,that clock seems like a gimmick.It could be at midnight we will get a "yes" from Floyd....seems like they would do a conference in front of a bigger stage instead of streaming on Top Rank's page....let's cross our fingers!

Just a side note-Floyd said in an interview a few weeks back (with his friend 50 cent) that they were going to announce the biggest fight....

[any craic lad?]

Grand 8 in the morning here should be up for it.I think this could all be a setup and Floyd will sign.Well a man can dream cant he

...or, Floyd could just sign the contract and fight Manny himself so he can say he was the one to beat Pacquiao and not let someone else do it for him first (why does that so sound familiar? hmmm....lol).

I saw that interview as well and he didn't give some half assed repsonse...I'm starting to feel like this is some gimmck and the fans have been had...or maybe i'm just hoping.

What people tend to forget is that Floyd is also a businessman. If it's true that Floyd wasn't even involved in the negotiation, then I'd feel insulted. So getting a contract from Bob Arum without initial involvement and being pressured to sign by a set deadline IS a slap in the face. At least this is how I'd feel if I was Floyd. People have to remember that unlike Pac (who openly admits that he's just an 'employee' who does the job given to him), Floyd is both a fighter AND a promoter and I don't blame him for taking pride of his business and keeping his silence coz he felt disrespected.

But with that said, if I was Floyd and wanted to run my business well, then I'd realize that fighting Pac will be his best business decision. So here's hoping he signs.

so how do u feel about pacquiao feeling disrespected when floyd said he was on PED's? FLoyd is a diva and its irritating.
