Comments Thread For: Arum Responds To "Bizarre" Team Mayweather Claim

[The Big Dunn]

How does Tim Bradley relate to two men who generate comparable PPV numbers?

And yes from a competitive standpoint I would say that he should face Bradley.

Comparable? I think that is a stretch.


But you didn't answer the question. Tim called him out. We haven't heard anything other than Manny is looking to fight cotto or marg. Is he afraid to fight tim bradley?

Yeah but he just beat down the 2 guys the midget (Tattoo) was scared of.

the point of my debate with you was that mayweather would NEVER crawl in the ring with those guy.Ever my man.I beleive pac beats both of those guys.Not as easy as said because of styles.It was a rediculous hold up with mayweather to fight mosley.It took a 7.0 earthquake,a boxer to withdraw and no other lead of options (money wise) for it to happen.


I keep saying they called mayweather's bluff.Mayweather didnt think pac would give him what he demanded.And he got it.Now that the proposal was sent he wants no part.If it was about the split wouldnt you think mayweather would be raising hell all over the media about what share he deserves? hmmm




Real talk its a crime to support this type of guy.Real hard to support.

Arum said some direct things about what Greenburg was telling him. He may have embellished certain parts of the overall story, but there are still those direct parts of his story about his contact with Greenburg.

I can only assume that contact and those statements were true as I'm sure the President of HBO Sports would say otherwise if someone was putting words into his mouth. Because he's the President of HBO Sports and wouldn't want to misrepresented when he has close ties with BOTH parties.

If the statements were true, then it follows that Greenburg couldn't possibly have been negotiating with himself, as what's the point in that? There must have been contact with Floyd's camp.

but that is the thing, Arum never siad what greenburg told him or what they were discusiing. he only stated that he talked to Greenburg who in turn talked to Haymon who would talk to Floyd. that is all talk, not negotiations. If it was negotiations, Where is paperwork? where is the counteroffers? There is none because it was just talks to get the parties together to make a fight this year, but Arum do what Arum do

[QUOTE=Sugar Q;8865608]Lol, Floyd's uncle said Manny wouldn't agree with the unrestricted OST and his Sr. just came out and said Floyd would NEVER accept 50/50 and the inside word is that was what Top Prank offered which they knew would be turned down/QUOTE]




At this point your rediculous to believe anything from floyd's camp.Havent you learned from yesterday's articles? lol

Pedantic. It's still part of the negotiation process; preliminiary negotiations.

As for paperwork, I'm sure it's with Arum and Haymon and Greenburg. I doubt they'll release it though as the inner details will almost certainly be confidential.

Seems like your a hata my dude. I'm not gonna go through the history of PBF chasing Mosley for a fight. I suggest you hit up youtube where you will quickly relieve yourself of your untruths. I believe that PBF isn't the only fighter out there right now capable of defeating Manny. His team believes it too which is why they keep going after previously defeated fighters. Pwillz and Bradley are much bigger fights than a Margacheato fight is and you and the other Pacdudes know it.

ERIC NEEL on jim rome is burning on ESPN just now stated that this week it is mayweathers fault the fight didnt happen

Hater? wow.



I know the history about mosley.He's not getting a plus either,but the fact that floyd always,yes always creates some type of problems when it comes to negotiations makes it alot harder to be convinced.I beleive pacquiao isnt the only fighter out there right now capable of beating mayweather.There are plenty.And vice versa theyre are some guys WHO CAN BEAT pacquiao.


Alot of your stands are about whats best for floyd business wise,personal etc etc yet have not figure out pacquiao is in the same game.The same game brotha.Pwillz? Bradley? you cant be right. Theyre not even promoted right.They got no cash flow,Williams barely squeezing in from martinez? bradley fighting in only 12k capcity crowds? naaaaaah.Then you may fans talk about why doesnt pacquio fight pwill or bradley? hello no $$$$.This is a living too

But you didn't answer the question. Tim called him out. We haven't heard anything other than Manny is looking to fight cotto or marg. Is he afraid to fight tim bradley?

You're asking me to speculate based on one instance where Tim called out Pac?

Put it in context and I like Tim, I've actually met him, but that was Tim's first bout at 147, on top of that his first fight on HBO.

HBO isn't going to shell out the licensing fee for a bout between Manny and Tim, no one beyond hardcore fans know who Tim is and that's okay. Tim can change that and increase his profile by fighting the big 3 at 140. Manny and Pac are both stars, both talented in their own right and both in their primes, additionally both fighters generate the most PPV buys apart from each other, 1 and 2 respectively, now imagine what those numbers would mean in terms of dollars to HBO,promoters and more importantly the fighters themselves if they finally face off.

Tim called out Pac for the check, doubt it's for the challenge, because he has those at 140 and it's likely that he'll have to go back there for his next fight. When I say the numbers are comparable, I'm saying in terms of both fighters being top draws as it relates to PPV.

And no I don't that Pac is afraid of anyone, nor do I think that Floyd is afraid of any one person, however, I do believe that Floyd is afraid of "losing" and that is his sole motivation for taking extended vacations to ride around on segways and using any method that he can to avoid the "chance" of losing.
