Comments Thread For: Arum on Mayweather Antics - I'm Disgusted, A Disgrace

[Paranormal]

You don't do your homework.. Floyd never went from 105 to 150 he's never even fought at 105.. when Floyd and others talk about Paquiaos rise in weight they are talking about within the last few years as he went from fighting at 129 up to 154.. So in just 3 yrs Pacquiao gained 17 pds of muscle and substantial increase in punching power most of which was gained when Paquiao was already over the age of 30.. impossible? No. Suspect? Yes.

When Pac fought Morales the third time at 130 lbs., Pac came into the ring at 147lbs. When Pac fought Margo for 154 lbs crown, Pac went into the ring at 146lbs. In his last fight against Mosley for 147 title defense, he came into the ring at 146 lbs. So where's the ACTUAL 17 lbs. increase you are talking about. Nothing, none.
So the Pac that fought Eric Morales the third time is the same Pac that fought Margo and Mosley in terms of body weight and mass. The only difference is at 147 and 154, he no longer have to dehydrate himself almost to death as he used to do at 130.

Lol when you use facts make sure to get it right. At age 16 Mayweather was fighting in the amateurs at 106 lbs. At the age 16 Manny Pacquiao was fighting at 106, professionally. So yes they rose in weight similarly. Now Pacquaio never went from 129 to 154 in three years, He went from 130 to 145 in three years. Mayweather went from 129 to 147 in four years. So "Pacman" gained 15 lbs in three years, "Pretty Boy"/"Money" gained 18 lbs in four years. Ill make it more clear pacquiao gained weight at a rate of 5lbs a year, and mayweather gained weight at 4.5 lbs a year. WHAT IS YOUR ARGUMENT NOW????

Floyd did not realized that when he is still swinging (tarzan style), on his father's testicles, merchant already do boxing interviews and commenting.

Bob Arum is the same guy that supports Margarito.

When Floyd did the similar thing against Angel Manfredy Arum did not come with comments like these

I kept on telling myself not to buy ever again the PPV fight of floyd since the marquez fight and here I go again bought another cr*ppy fight. I wish I had slit my wrists. I used to be a mayweather fan, but my eyes are now open.

There are rules in the boxing ring that is not written but acknowledge by real warriors. Sadly, mayweather doesnt realize this.

You should not be here if you cannot understand the difference between a divisional limit, and rehydration weight.

I agree 100% with everything Arum said.

Cortez was inept and it was very unsportsmanlike for Floyd to sucker punch Ortiz.

Did Bob Feel that way about the cheater who used a cast to beat Cotto?
No................he fought to get Margarito reinstated

[big_james10]

for the first time i agree with Bob Arum..

I find it interesting that Arum thinks Mayweather's behavior was disgusting and a disgrace, considering that he saw absolutely nothing wrong with Margarito's actions when he tried to fight Mosley with loaded gloves. In fact, Arum was so non-disgusted and non-disgraced that he showed up at the hearing to try to prevent Margarito from being suspended by the California State Athletic Commission. Then, he refused to honor the ruling by the CSAC by scheduling a fight for Margarito in Mexico while he was suspended and later took Margarito to Texas to get a license to fight Pacquaio after paying off the commission in Texas to ensure that Margarito would be licensed.

Yet, he is disgusted by Mayweather! Normally, I would say that Arum would use Mayweather's actions as an excuse to avoid putting Pacquaio in the ring with him. However, since he knows Pac will soon retire and he will lose his cash cow, I am sure he will find a way to make the Mayweather/Pacquaio fight, even though he is disgusted and disgraced!

I'm bumping these two posts.....

This coming from a guy who brought a cheater back to the sport and also comitted bribery

Bob Arum is the same guy that supports Margarito.

When Floyd did the similar thing against Angel Manfredy Arum did not come with comments like these

When Bob Arum was convicted for bribery and corruption, his morals took a 12 round kicking..... now, he aint too sure what entails "disgusting"

Glove loading is in, blood testing is out, and anything that Mayweather does is simply unacceptable.

The worst beating that Mayweather has ever delivered to anyone, was the one that he gave Arum by leaving.

Bitter old ****
