Comments Thread For: Arum's Plan To Make Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Happen

[MindBat]

this whole thing is just more media manipulation. why would arum lay out his whole negotiation strategy in the press? how is that substantively different from 'the deadline' tactic that arum used last summer?

isn't the way to negotiate quiet and away from the headlines?

this is silly

Exactly......

Indeed. Expect another one of those 12 AM press calls bashing Floyd and announcing the Shane fight.

I've got a better plan. How about Pac agrees to the USADA testing in full. How about Team Mayweather and Team Pacquaio agree on a mutual date, instead of Top Rank's, "Manny's fighting on this date, take it or leave it approach." And how about Team Pacquaio come off the demand for a 50/50 purse split, unless Pacquaio-Margarito did somewhere in the neighborhood of a million buys. If they come correct, and Mayweather says no. Then, the ducking allegations who have some legitimacy behind them. But Team Pacquaio agreeing to things that they know aren't gonna be accepted is just dragging all of us down this same, Groundhog Day nonsense we've been seeing for over a year that will ultimately lead to Pac fighting another tomato can named Shane Mosley.

Hmmm. I thought evil villains only revealed their masterplan once they'd been exposed.

That's just an aside.

If Maywaether wanted any piece of Pacquiao he have one of his people on the phone to Arum in a 'flash'.

All articles regarding Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather, Jr. are useless until I'm sitting on my couch watching the PPV.

im a mayweather fan but for some reason or other floyd wants no part of pacquaio at the moment it cud be one of many legimate reason's bcoz contrary to wot pac fans believe mayweather is the ;man' in boxing if he really wanted this fight he would have got it by now,also ....pac ****d this fight up the first time but il admit its all on floyd now any person with logic and common sense can see this...put aside your love for each of the fighters and use LOGIC....I still think this fight will be made next year and floyd will Ko pac but pac will pose problems for the first few rounds till floyd shuts him out..

No way is this fight happening especially after what Pac did to cheato. It wont even happen if Pac agrees to have half of his blood drained on the day of the fight.

I agree with you. Arum is doing this shyt again to make Floyd look as though he's ducking Pacquiao. No fighter should have to go into the ring with a burden such as losing his freedom on his mind, not to mention his trainer facing the same dilemma. That's a recipe for disaster.

Arum needs to stop being a snake in the grass and give Floyd a chance to clear up his legal battles before trying to negotiate a fight. Manny may be as good as he appears to be, but I'm not falling into his hype until he fight and beats some of the people who are on top of their game (Bradley, Alexander, PWill, Berto), not damaged fighters(Margarito, Cotto, Hatton and obviously a faded Mosley who he wanted no parts of before his last two fights).

funny how u guys react when arum is trying to make the fight happen and u guys go back to ur old whining ways saying **** about arum etc..... whatever *****s...whatever...

Arum talks more about making a fight with Floyd than actually
making it happen. I still think the pressure is on Pac to fight
Floyd. No matter how many fighters he looks good over, Floyd
will be brought up because Pac has to fight him and Floyd too.
How can Arum continue to bull**** us like this? Just make the
fight happen and stop telling us what you will do. I also find
Arum's 3 steps for making the fight happen funny.

whats funny is the mayweather silence about the pac fight...
