Comments Thread For: Arum: "Mayweather-Pacquiao is Our First Priority"

[maguirre]

As a Pac fan I've never been offended by these "Floyd beats Pac" messages. In fact, I encourage them in the hopes that Floyd would finally reach him and grow more balls to fight Pac. But now, these "Floyd beats Pac" posts are as ****** as they come. They don't mean anything anymore. Pac would annihilate Floyd in the early rounds and give him an embarrassing finish. If I were a ***** I wouldn't insist on this fight.

Pac doesn't need Floyd. His legacy is sealed.

Floyd want none of Pac, anyways.

Give it a rest.

Hopefully it does happen.

this is an unbiased opinion..i think pacquiao would come out victorious against mayweather.
we all know mayweather has great defense and is an accurate counter puncher. but we also know he can get hit and his chin is very questionable (2nd round mosley).
we all know pacquiao is quick, throws a flurry of punches and can take a beating by bigger men. but we know he's very vulnerable to getting hit.
the thing is pacquiao has been hit by fighters stronger than floyd (cotto, clottey, margarito) and hasn't fallen..he takes the beating and keeps on truckin..we've even seen him unleash successful combinations AFTER his opponent has hit him..

so if you were to put it into perspective of a mayweather-pacquiao fight, yes pacquiao will come forward, yes mayweather will dodge, yes mayweather will counter...BUTTTT pacquiao will NOT drop, WILL attack and mayweather WILL eventually get hit by a combination of HARD punches by pacquiao..and seeing how mosley almost knocked him down (mosley being a guy with an 1/4 of the stamina as pacquiao) pac MAY even make floyd hit the canvas..

Friend no offense, just giving my opinion. Mosley has a longer reach advantage against Floyd, thats why i believed floyd has to risk standing closer to moslley so he can counter properly. I dont see floyd doing the same against Pac if it happens, floyd never fight the same fighting stlyle so its hard to predict who will come victorious against the 2. But one thing we should consider from floyds defense is that backing out is primary rather than blocking the punches. Cotto, Margarito, Clottey, hatton and even DLH absorbs Manny's punches by blocking so they can hit back. Watchs floyd carefully against Marquez and Mosley. how fast he backsup if he wants to.
I have nothing against both fighter but my final comment is that, its not "Mayweather who has a chance to beat Pac, but its Pac who has a chance to beat Mayweather".

how is floyd chin questionable because of the 2nd round with mosley. he took mosleys best shot twice was buckled for a second and recovered. mosley has a high ko ration knocked out the man manny went the distance with with half the punches thrown wtf. i cant take it anymore theres articles saying manny isnt of this planet lol. this is crazy i cant take it anymore.

The first priority for Top Rank CEO Bob Arum is a fight between welterweights Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. Arum will start working on that fight in the next couple of weeks. There are two issues that Arum needs to resolve. The first, is whether or not Mayweather is interested in the fight. The second issue is the ongoing legal situation in Las Vegas between Mayweather and the mother of his two children, Josie Harris. Arum wants to make sure the pending assault case will not interfere with a planned fight.

is it really? if that happens, and Pac retires (like he and Roach always said that there's nothing left to prove if the beat FLoyd) and Arum will be left with only Cotto as his cashcow. Not a very beautiful picture for a shrewd businessman like Arum.

[Wreckless]

This is all useless. Mayweather doesn't want the fight.

[ADP02]

I would hope so, but as soon as negotiations start look for Arum to say "We'll fight Cotto or Mosley if this doesn't work out"

If Floyd doesn't want to fight and prefers to vacation, what else do you expect Arum to do?

I honestly would be worrying about flushing the drugs out of Pacman first

What mythical drugs would these be? Here, lets restate a fact so you can take your eyes off Floyd's nuts long enough to understand:

Pac has agreed to testing in their last round of negotations. So...you have no point.

Yea. See, the problem is Floyd Jr. is not a man. I would call him a child but that would be insulting to children. This, 'person' Floyd Mayweather Jr. is done in life. His professional boxing career is OVER, his life is a pathetic joke and a lie, and his last opponent was his ex-wife, real classy. The only reason he came back to box is because his dumbass owes the IRS. This loser has taken all his amazing skill and thrown it all away to cover his ego - and this is someone you choose to be a fan of? Give me a break.

arum knows the real issue is the cut off date. floyd said he is willing to fight on many occasions but pac will not agree to the random testing up until the day of the fight. thats court talk is b.s. the charges are weak, manny dnt wana agree to the 1 term floyd asked for.
