Comments Thread For: Arum To Sit With Pacquiao in January, Likely on Floyd Jr.
A genuinely optimistic promoter Bob Arum said said on Friday night that he is "convinced" that Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao have the same ambition concerning their next fight.
I'll believe it when I see it. I'm sure we've learned by now not to believe a word Arum says. If the fight doesn't happen this time around, I'm letting the dream go. In my opinion, Floyd should then either fight Cotto and/or Martinez, and then retire. Pacquiao should rematch Marquez(yet again), Bradley or Ortiz, and finish off his career with the Cotto rematch . Really, who else is left for these guys that can draw serious $$$???

Absolutely. Arum is full-of-1t, and Marley is his " I need to sell some bs " PR guy.
And if Arum is trying to tie Pac into a 3-fight contract, then you can bet Mayweather will be his last opponent, not his next opponent.
Pac is to blame if he doesn't fight Mayweather next, no more excuses.
The " talk to my promoter " excuse..... is no longer acceptable.
I think the pressure is really on Manny this time around from the boxing public. Let's hope he tells Arum to make it happen. Manny has the power in this relationship,not Arum. He just doesn't realize it I guess. Manny is a pretty loyal guy though, so he might still just go with whatever Arum says. It's a shame. Hope it happens in 2012 or like I said, I give up on that dream.
Why does Arum need to sit down with pac? Pac already said he wants the fight right? If Arum really wants the fight to happen he should be sitting down with Al Haymon or Floyd himself.
