Bob Arum: "We're Not Waiting On Mayweather; Bradley Could Be Next for Spring PPV"

[JmH Reborn]

I don't understand what the problem is with what Arum said?

He's got a long term view of boxing. So he's going to put Manny on the shelf until Floyd, with his inactivity is waiting to fight? These forums are so childish.

If Floyd is serious about a Manny fight...he needs to schedule a fight in November or December against whomever, which will set up a May showdown. If not, Arum has a job to do with dates and schedules and get things prepped for the next Manny fight. These mega fights take time and preparation unlike some Indian Casino fight on Telefutura, which can be patchwork stuff sometimes.

Whatever, these Floyd/Pac threads are so annoying, I'm about to make a commitment to stay away from them. Floyd hasn't fought a legit opponent in years and averages less than a fight a year. I don't expect much out of him. Some of Pac's recent fights may have been crap, but at least he's fighting

Manny ask for things and floyd agreed to it. Floys ask for 1 thing.

Like i said, get the f-ck out of here.

If cotto wanted the fight they would have fought at 140. There is no mystery that floyd never fought a toprank fighter.

You dudes are blind like a mothaf-cka. You dont have to agree with floyd bull**** to see that arum is the problem.

No disrespect to you homie but im growing tired of bob bs. I dont even blame(well i do think he should speak up but you know....)

A second negotiation was launch to fix all that. Floyd walked away from it and even denied it existed.

[Steven Adams]

What else are they suppose to do? Play as Floyd on fight night champion against Manny or Cotto? Those clowns can't even do that cuz Floyd ducked EA sports as soon as he heard Manny was gonna be on the cover....smfh

Andre Bishop > Pacquiao for that cover spot tho


just saying

[sNiTcH]

Lol, Arum never intended to match Manny with Floyd.

exactly because you can not match a fighter who is on vacation and prefer to watch lady gaga than boxing

Yeah i agree Manny should have agreed to the test if he has nothing to hide but if you aint impressed or scared why even ask in the first place?

As far as the Cotto situation goes with Floyd we all know when this fight was demanded by the fans and when it was at its financial peak. My man said i dont want boxing to retire me when asked about Cotto at that time true or not?

Imo he(Floyd) came back when Margs and Cotto were out of the picture and thought he could make two easy big money fights with Marquez and Pac but Pacs performances scared him into another retirement.

Why doesn't Manny fight real welterweights?

The thing is, I don't even think Manny fears fighting real welterweights, it's all Arum wanting to protect Manny, and its also Arum using Manny to get him fighters to sign onto Top Rank.

In effect, Manny is an employee of Top Rank. He works for Arum, not the other way around. Arum should not be building his promotional company by damaging Mannys legacy and career.

[ny123]

active or not... why do they [Media] keep bringing [Floyd] name into it?

Because Floyd is arguably the number one or two best p4p fighter in the world and Pac-Floyd is the most demanded fight.
