NEWS: Oscar De La Hoya "Bob Arum Say NO To Mayweather-Pacquiao Because......."

[jrosales13]

strange that pac would easily be willing to take a lesser share after doing his supposed 1.41mil ppvs against Marquez wheres Floyd did 1.25mil with Ortiz

We're talking about the same petty ol person who threatened to call off the Hatton fight over 1 or 2% of the purse.

It can be looked at in different ways though. One can say that Pac is doing that cuz he really wants the fight, or the numbers are a lie, or he just saying he will while not going through with it just to make it seem like he wanted the fight.

why is bob telling us about his stadium idea NOW that the fight can happen and expire? back in 2010 it was all bout the Dallas

Yup, exactly. But at this point, you're risking the fight just not ever happening.

Just charge insane prices for the tickets....they will still sell quickly and you'll have your monster gate.

I understand what Bob means....a fight of this magnitude, make it at a big venue so you can maximize profits....but Floyd will ONLY fight at MGM Grand, that's pretty much known. Just give up and make the fight, you're still gonna make insane money off of it.

I agree, even though Pac might not get any real backlash from this. He looks really bad if the fight doesn't happen.

He's talking about the gate. I think it's pretty clear what Arum is saying...He's wants the bigger stadium for the fight. His logic is that Pac agreed to take the lesser share so therefor maximize the revenue that will come in.

Even with a bigger stadium though, I see another excuse forming. Not sure if he should has for an equal split and just fight in May 5th?

I'm sure that's what he meant...MGM Grand vs Cowboy Stadium probably ='s 20 $mil

[Reloaded]

Exactly. For Arum everything has to be "in house."

Including the decision !!!

Bob and Manny are ripping the public off with their constant duck of this fight , they have milked the boxing public for years , using this fight as a pretense to take another set up fight , only to line their pockets with whats is paramount to a fix , they are boxings Watergate .

anyone who believe the word of a guy who takes it up the ass vs a guy who is a harvard law grad is suspect and more than likely has red k

How would Oscar even know about this? is he going by what is being reported on the net or has there been conversation between them? And, why would Arum even contact him or GBP when they don't even represent Floyd. Plus Arum wanted them out of the picture. If anything he would have contacted Floyd. Oscar is just talking for the sake of talking.

Hey idiot, their statements run parallel to each other. Oscar says Bob wants a larger gate and Bob says he wants a bigger stadium with 25,000 more seats.......
