Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs Pacquiao: Arum, King Ready To Make It

[JoeDaWg]

I'm feeling confidant about this fight for the first time in about a year now. I think king is just the snake to pour a little honey in floyds ear and maybe get his confidence back. I think floyds been listening to his dad and uncle make pac out to be some sort of super human midget monster and it's all got in his head. He needs somebody he trusts to feed that ego of his until it's so big he won't back down from ****. We need the old school floyd back, I hope king can bring him out.

if manny is able to KNOCK mosley out...there's no way floyd even thinks about getting in the ring with manny...which speaks volumes, because cotto who got destroyed/pummelled by manny is willing to get in there again with manny....all these guys have fought manny with no stipulations....maybe money drove them to just go in there for a payday, ala clottey...but for the most part everyone else went in there thinking they'd beat little manny, but once they got touched up by nanny's punches...the story quickly changed!!! floyd will not fight manny, he'll always come up with an excuse!!! its funny how a man like floyd who claims he's the best isn't willing to get in the ring with the other guy everyone is calling the best......also floyd is so driven by money, yet he's unwilling to sign to fight manny for what would be the biggest payday in his life...come on!!!

sugar ray leonard had to fight tommy hearns and he did!!!!....

floyd has to fight manny, its that simple!!!

exactly. All these guys have fought each other and who is the bystander. Floyd is the odd one out, and you floyd fans blame everyone except for looking at the root problem which is floyd. You guys are so biased its almost sad. Blame everyone else and accuse everyone else but dont critisize Floyd.

[QUOTE=yesir;10010802]pac is the only one holding up the fight, you idiot he doesnt want to take the test. even when he got his 14 days he refused.



U CANNOT ARGUE WITH THIS FACT!!!

They don't pay a "fraction." It's a pretty big fine.

Depending on the fighters' purse.. yes.

Since it's already a 'pretty big fine'.. what's the problem?

Furthermore, that's irrelevant. The bottom line is that the commission decides, right? Or does that not matter? Just wondering which line we're towing here.

Now you believe it's for the commission to decide?

What you are arguing here is still irrelevant. There are already fines in place to penalize a fighter coming in overweight. Raising the fine just prevents fighters, who believe they can just pay the minimal penalty, from coming in overweight.

Legendary promoters Don King and Bob Arum of Top Rank, are ready and willing to make a fight between WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. King has recently wooed Mayweather and worked alongside promotional rival Arum, who handles Pacquiao.

This is two bulls**t artist Arum and King doing what they do best:bulls**t.
First of all Don King's influence with Floyd is tenuous at best, likely exist primarily in Don's mind and in his bs. One thing for sure he has no puppet strings on Floyd like the ones Arum has on Pac. Secondly Arum is going on like the drug issue has gone away. It has not. Contrary to what he has led some fans to believe Manny has yet to agree too random blood and urine testing. The operative word being 'random'. When it comes to this fight actually happening we are right where we started. Arum's angle here is to promise the Mayweather fight in hopes of easing the fan anger against the upcomming Mosley fight. Once he pockets that cash it will be on to Coto and Margarito again. We know the Pac fans are on his kool-aid but anyone else who believes his bs, deserves it.

Exactly. Why not just let the commission do it...right?

Now you believe it's for the commission to decide?

I don't think it matters. Manny fans do. Where do you stand?

Facts

Floyd requests:
Random OSDT | Manny refuses

Manny requests:
Smaller Ring | Floyd agrees
8oz Gloves | Floyd agrees
$10 million penalty per pound over catchweight | Floyd agrees
__________________________________________________ __

Potential purse $50-$100 million
Manny chooses to fight Clottey for $12 million instead
Now that public pressure is mounting on Manny, he's finally willing to accept a 14 day cut off. Why he needs a cut off when Mosley, who is OLDER and passed his prime, did NOT- is beyond human understanding.

WHO WALKS AWAY FROM $50-$100 MILLION TO TAKE $12-$15 MILLION INSTEAD?

That action from Manny speaks louder than any speculation about Mayweather.

Manny's Fear EXPOSED
It's NO BIG DEAL if Manny is outweighed by 16lbs by a taller Margarito, outweighed by Hatton, outweighed by Oscar. Team Manny did not show the same sense of concern and urgency regarding weight with the above mentioned fighters. But when it comes to Floyd Mayweather Jr, Team Manny demands $10,000,000 PER POUND OVER THE CATCHWEIGHT! WOW! Manny & Freddy, if you're so confident you can defeat Floyd, then why worry about it!? it's not like Floyd is suspected of PEDs! EXPOSED.

U CANNOT ARGUE WITH FACTS!!!
GREAT POST SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT

That's the point that I have been trying to drive home.

So now... you believe that the commission should decide?

You are usually singing a different tune when it comes to the commission.

Its funny that you've missed my point. I was turning it back on Manny who likes to hold this "let the commission do their job" stance when it suits him. Like, when he said he would only do the testing that the commission had in place. But he loves to disregard the commission and place his own weight penalties on fighters. Why doesn't he allow the commission do their job?
