Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao Targeted For May 2011, Says Arum

Floyd wont take the fight because Manny wont take OST without a cut of , its very simple why the *** dont people see that Flod believes Pac is using PEDS and wont fight him without proof he is clean its that simple .

Why did Arum make a big noise about Nov when Floyd had said straight after Mosley he would like to fight in Dec you would think Arum would have said at least Dec but no it was Nov to make sure Floyd was on the road to saying no fight , Arum had no intentions of Floyd it was in house Margo all along .

Keep telling yourself that, but under original negotiations, Floyd was willing to accept 2 weeks, when Manny wouldn't budge on 21 days. I'm betting that Floyd will stop Manny...my questions is why won't he sign. Ask yourself this - had HBO gotten an interview last Saturday with Floyd, and Floyd stated that he would absolutely take a December date with Pacquiao, would the fight not happen because of a proposed Margarito fight that isn't even signed yet? And by the way, why isn't that Top Rank only fight not signed???

Hmmm. O.K. So, you think if FMJ/Pac happens in November and Pac loses, that people will be more excited to see Pac/Margarito after that?? No, ARUM wants to get more fights out of Pac BEFORE the Grand Finale. Theres a good chance Pac won't even fight again after he fights Floyd unless it's a rematch, so why would Arum want to rush a fight that he knows Pac wants before he retires?
BTW, I never said Arum is preventing this fight from EVER happening. I said he doesn't want the fight to happen THIS NOVEMBER so he can milk a few more fights out of Pac.

No dumbass...they'll have a rematch and make another ****load of money. Floyd fights for money, remember...duh!

I guess the promoters dont care if the fight is gonna lose its hype and ppv buys.

First you say Pac might not fight again after Floyd, and then literally 3 lines later you say Bob's gonna get a few more fights out of him. Which is it?

Fight is no longer the big event that it could have been had it happened already. Dont get me wrong still wanna see it but many people have been turned off by all the bull**** that a lot of people including myself wouldn't mind seeing both fighters get KTFO before they have a chance at eachother!

Too bad ! Too bad for the fans, too bad for chicken man.

He can't make excuses !!!

Like : My leggs (legghorn) were shot ! I am leaving my prime, I haven't had a fight in a year, actually hadn't had but two in the past 4 years come next May !!!!!!!!!!

Nope, when a little age sets in with a bit of rust , the leggs on ole legghorn ain't what they used to be, even a quarter step off its BADDDDDDDDD for da chicken man. The reflexes go, you can't stop it !! I already SEE it in him, he fought an OLD MAN and nearly got WAXED , hahaha

And he sure can't say he is fighting a bigger man !!

I have never seen Ole Chicken Man is such trouble !!!!

Long layoffs have never been good for fighters.

NO EXCUSES when it comes !!!

Pure comedy.....

I can't explain it to you any clearer... if you can't follow the bouncing ball then I don't know what to tell you. Kinda ironic you calling me a dumbass.

Let this thread die along with all the Mayweather vs Pacquiao threads. This deserves no hype etc no longer.

[RumirNemo]

Huhummm what Bob Arum is saying is still dreamland... if Floyd Mayweather, Jr. have not yet signed with Don King as his promotional partner, then what Bob Arum is saying is his own intuitions or he must have a bad nightmare... better put this to BED, eh, B-Rex.

Mayweather-Pacquiao Targeted For May 2011, Says Arum

This is ******.

There is no better time for this fight to happen than in November or December of this year. A fight of this magnitude doesn't need six months to promote. Heck, you don't even need to promote it. Just the news of it happening will spread like wildfire.

Like some people mentioned here or other threads, a lot of unforeseen things could happen such as injury or even death before May.

The other question is, what if Mayweather decides to fight before May? That would be another Floyd vacation excuse waiting to happen.

If this is not happening in November or December, Arum should just let it go and desist making any mention of it. Let Mayweather decide.

In short, stop calling him out. Let him beg for it if he decides he is interested.
