Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Mayweather in The Pacquiao Mix, Not For May 5

[Slip Stream]

yes. Ive gottn on Mayweather in the past, but now it cudnt be more obvious who the hold up is now. Arum is 80 yrs old and he cant take the $$$ w/ him. ud think hed want to promote the biggest fight in boxing history bf riding into the sunset. but no! alol he cares about is squeezin every last cent from Pac.

Plus, if he was smart, hed make Pac-May, and then he always has a 4th fight wit Marquez no mattr the outcome of the fight wit Maywether. and if the Mayweather fight isnt a complete whitewash, u can hav a rematch from that

Bro, Arum's smart because he hasn't made the fight with Mayweather. He gets to keep all of the profits, everything stays in-house, and he doesn't have to split any of the glory with another promoter. And given the passionate level of Pacquiao's support he’s had to produce few facts, he basically gets a pass because he manages the "holy one."

Fans want to see Mayweather-Pacquiao, not businessmen that have been around the sport for decades. Bob Arum is doing exactly what’s expected of him, who knows I might do the same thing if I knew I was going to get a guaranteed check from a weak willed superstar.

Since Bob Arum keeps all of his fights in-house he keeps the cash and rights to the winner and loser. Let's also factor in the terrible relationship Floyd has with Bob, heh, when you get done factoring everything in it' absurd to think that fight will happen.

r u serious? business men arent buyin fights on PPV, fans r. so arum owes nothin to the Pac fans that have spent hundreds on PPVs and/or tickets? he only should make the most possible $$$ for himself. he wont care bc hes dying soon, but attitude like that kills the sport of boxing.

Theres no excuses, that eye should be fine. They both need to just say I want Manny and I want Floyd and do the damn thing!!!! It's really up to Pacman cause if he say yes and agrees with every thing Floyd will have nowhere to run besides jail!!!!!!!!! Get This ish Done

hahahahaha. May 5th was ok to fight JMM when the boogeyman was relegated to a cell. Now (like a boss i might add) he's available and Bob and co are running like scared b*tches again.

so funny how Pac was able to fight on May 5 a couple of days ago, but now he cant. Arum is so full of it, its funny that some peopl on this site actually believe a word that comes ou of his mouth

manny needs to step up and take control!
its more then obvious BOB ARUM is the road block in the floyd vs manny makings.
bob is always with some excuse as to why something cant happen, all Arum is doing is drying this fight to the bone.

Yeah I'm serious. Also, old men are selling all of those PPV's, they're selling them because they've been around long enough to spot a sucker, as P.T. Barnum put it, "there's a sucker born every minute."

Arum may be dying soon but he still has a family he's providing for, he isn't living all by himself ya know?

Nothing has or can kill the sport of boxing, I get that now, not Bob Arum or bad scorecards and controversies. Boxing is sort of expected to have a darkness within; after all, this is the hurt business yo.

To Arum: When Pacquiao...retire..you have my permission to die.

[ANDROIDISM]

BS. The fighter doesn't work for the promoter.

UMMMMMMMMM the fighter works for nobody but the promoter. See when pac was a nobody this guy name Bob Arum signed him to a fighting contract and made him who he is.

Arum signs his check, pacquiao works for arum.
