Bob Arum: Pacquaio vs Mayweather will never ever happen

[boxinger]

maybe the reason why floyd left is so he wont have to be on the same fate as those fighters fighting each other?

lol possible, he can cherry pick easier

[hugh grant]

... Can't make the dude fight.. let him be..

It is actually cruel to make Floyd try to have a fight he dont want. Floyd dont want Pac thats for sure. Floyd dont care enough for boxing fans to make the fight happen. Whether the fight happens or not shouldnt rest on whether someone is prepared to take an OSDT or not!

You cant always have what you want at the negotiationg table, but doesnt mean the fight wont be made because you dont get what you want. Pac could make a request of "i will only fight you Floyd if you let me sleep with your girlfriend, she is very cute and i want to add her to my long list of conquests" Floyd would be within his rights to decline Pacs request, and im sure Pac would still fight Floyd, even if Floyd did refuse Pacs request.

If Floyd cared about the fans, and if Floyd wanted Pac enough, he would fight Pac regardless if he got his own way or not. Im sure hatton might have wanted a different ref against Floyd, a fight in Manchester or a fight at 140 even. He got none of those but still accepted the fight, because he wanted Floyd enough.
The moral of the story is, Floyd dont want Pac.

Wait, is it the right hand or the court cases?

I can't figure out which hurdle is truly causing this fight not to happen

[RSBonos]

This is irrelevant. All Floyd has to do is come out publicly after the next PPV and declare that he is ready to fight next May (50-50 split and drug testing which the Pac has claimed is no longer an issue).

I predict another 2 year retirement.

Neither. It's Arum being a bitch as usual.

[cisjay]

This is so typical. How can people not see what's going on? These jokers don't want to put Manny in there with Floyd. Open your eyes.

How can he talk about cheating the public?! When he brought the public Pac vs Mosley - got Margarito's boxing licence back

I agree that the majority of the boxing public didn't ask for those fights, but I think you're missing the point of HIS statement...people knew who Manny was going to fight, they didn't have to buy the fights, it wasn't a surprise opponent - on the other hand, if Golden Boy promoted the Ortiz fight by saying Mayweather would cheap shot an unsuspecting Ortiz to end the fight in the 4th round, people wouldn't have purchased the fight. Whether you want to admit it or not, the paying public (including my dumb ass) felt ripped off at the end of the night.

Great tv show.
