This was Arum's plan to make Manny vs Tony

[| THE KING |]

All Mayweather had to do is give the nod for the fight and call Manny's bluff..

made a thread about this. Arum did this to promote pacs upcoming fights b.c of course he doesnt want it to sale less than 1mil let alone 700k

This fight is gonna' be a hard sell. Doing a million PPV buys would be huge. I'd guess about 800k. Margarito is a tough sell after the stunt he pulled. Manny does have a huge fanbase though. Actually, it's ridiculous quite frankly. Manny is easily the fighter of the decade, so he'll always draw huge crowd wherever/whoever he fights.

You're right, he could have. Same goes for Manny. Could've called his bluff like Shane did. Could've beaten Floyd and been called best P4p fighter of the welter weight division.

Yup. But apparently he's afraid of a drug test.

Great breakdown..............

really? since the OP couldn't break down my post, why don't you give it a try?

[led]

He cares so much about them that he is fighting the second guy in a row that has done NOTHING to deserve a fight with him.

are you blamiing pac for fighting marg?
am not interested with pac fighting marg, but blame pac if he chooses marg over floyd. but floyd is just not interested.

On February 16, 2010, we read an article about Manny fighting Tony in November of this year.



We have Tony saying that Arum promised him a Manny fight. This was from February 22nd, 2010.


Then on March 19th, 2010, Arum says that Manny vs Margarito is still on schedule for November.

It doesn't end there though. July 23rd, 2010, the fight is signed and ready to go.

This was Arum's plan all along.

SMH.

Yeah and floyd agreed to being a decoy, he told arum in november before the marquez fight he would not be interested in boxing by then LMFAO!!

This thread would make a little sense if Mayweather wanted the fight in the first place...

He didn't, so you're a ****ing moron.

here is an interesting Fact:

just this year Mayweather offered Manny a purse parity a 14 day's testing cutoff with the 10 mill per pound penalty and Manny's choice of glove and the date of the fight
