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

[Reloaded]

I wish Manny wasn't Arum's puppet. It's pathetic.

Why can't Manny choose his own opponents? Why can't he go outside of the Top Rank banner? This is one thing I give Mayweather credit for.

Manny is laughing all the way to the bank , he dont give a *** he is like a rat with a gold tooth ,, his no speaka da English fits perfectly with Arums media snake oil of CW matching and threat ducking , it really is a circus and is ****ing on boxing .

Any *******s care to make a thread about this? You know, calling their hero out? Anyone?

lol..already lining up another fight..this **** is priceless..lmfao

floyd comes out and says"he has his outfit and is ready to fight"bob lines up another fight before the jmm is even signed...hillarious

It's not that you're not waiting for him, it's that the plan is already mapped out.

Those 1+M PPV buys for an all Top Rank fight is just too good togive up for less than 30% of Pacquiao's 50% of a Mayweather fight.

If Judah can keep his title, we'll be seeing a Pacquiao-Judah fight. Fall 2012.

Lol, Arum never intended to match Manny with Floyd.

ever since the clottey fight arum always has manny a fight lined up before he even fights the fight he has signed..they use floyds name to sell the fights but arum wants no part of floyd..manny should leave him and make the fight himself

Is that the new motto? How about this one?

Good fight. Duck Mayweather (Disclaimer: But keep making it look like it's him who's holding up the fight.).

This news makes Pac fans happy. Read this thread. I think that pretty much says it all.

And @ the people who think Bradley is next.

After doing an estimate on Arum's math, the situation becomes obvious. 30% of 50% of a 1 time deal, where my fighter has a serious chance of losing and can hurt his market value or 30% of 100% of numerous 1+ Million selling PPV's?

Money is Arum's bottom line and he's the one pulling the strings here. Not Pacquiao, Pacquiao is obligated to endorse politicians he doesn't know about or their policies off of the strength of being Arum's friend.

Look at the lockout situation between the owners and players of the NFL. When 2 parties have the intentions of making something happen, negotiations are constantly rehashed, if there's a major issue, mediation is brought in.

What does Arum do? Call off negotiations and make a Clottey fight for a date he had on hold, which was 2 months away to impose an imaginary deadline on when the negotiations had to be done. The beginning of January rolls around and negotiations are... For what? For Joshua Clottey or Yuri Foreman? GTFOH with that.

they got fights lined up forever!!! LMFAO....c'mon man, they gonna say Floyd don't want it as soon as they sign...watch!!...give the fans the fight we want and stop the ****in scams...dam!!

First of all, Bradley is a big step up fro mall the other fighters, in terms of age, style, freshness, stamina, everything, except the cliche "bigger" or "stronger".


With that said, now we should all be able to see why Mayweather-Pacquiao will never happen. Instead of taking some silly tests, they rather book Pacquiao for all eternity. Pacquiao will retire without fighting Floyd and vice versa. But at the end of the day, every one will realize what a joke it is to not want to take a test. IMO it's much worse to decline taking a test, than asking for an extra test. In this day and age, now type of test is too much, with all the cheaters who have been caught in almost every sport.

Checkmate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*****s still trying hard to get their coward hero into the ring. Face it, he doesnt want to fight and he never will. It's just a never ending stream of excuses. Floyd fans, Martinez called out floyd last year in MAY and Agreed to all the tests. Why didnt Floyd accept? Martinez called him out again couple days ago.

How come you not hating on your hero when he gets called out twice? No matter what Manny/Arum do Floyd will never fight until he's ready. All he has to do is called Arum and get the fight done. Floyd would rather beat up Woman and make outfits in his time.

Heard of farmville. Well this is *****ville, another fantasy game kids play.

Im far from a ******* and ill tell you straight up without any bias that Arum is doing what he has to do by lining up fights for Pac. Mayweather clearly doesnt want Pac and isnt even active at all right now. Is Pac supposed to take a vacation and wait for Mayweather?

I'd love it for he and Floyd to enjoy vacation TOGETHER than these same ole fights we've been getting from Manny. Watch this dude fight Zab next spring. Terrible.

[shogunn]

The last time HBO and Toprank tried to force floyd into a fight his *****ass went on vacation.

When did floyd make it clear that he wanted the fight? when he bought a fruity looking outfit?

[Dynamite Kid]

floyds the face of boxing and mannys riding his coat tail..theres no arguement..manny never outsells floyd...never..floyds name is used in every manny fight to promote it and justify the person hes fighting...manny should leave arum and this fight will easily get made..**** arum and his"you must leave your promoter bull****"

Floyd was the face of Boxing, now, almost every casual got Pacman fever. Mayweather might do more numbers, but I'd say Manny is the face of Boxing, as he is consistently in the limelight, where as Mayweather, not so much.

[ny123]

Man get out of here with this bull****.

What part of that is bull****? Floyd dont want it and if he really did he would drop those drug test demands that he never asked any other opponent to do before. Dude did the same thing in 07 when Merchant asked him about Cotto. Do you remember the "i want to retire from boxing not let boxing retire me" statement?
