Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Ready: I Will Tell Arum I Want Mayweather Next!

[Mr. Invincible]

Doesn't sound like the horse at all. When have you ever heard Manny articulate something like that? Where's the video? Why not say that on ESPN or on the George Lopez show he loves to go on? Somebody said it but I wont believe it was Pacroid till I hear it or see it myself, even then I will believe it's a sham unless he signs a contract to fight Floyd. I see the damage control act. The oldest trick in the book. Manny says he wants it but Bob doesnt then Manny goes on to fight Peterson when they both knew from the beginning that was the plan.

Manny is lost in translation bud. He is very smart, it just doesn't come off that way because he doesn't know the exact words in english that he intends to use. If this was just translated, it very well could be exactly what Manny said. there's nothing to suggest otherwise. Let's just both hope we get our fight.

Wow......is this what happens when Arum is not around?

[Leohappy]

pac / floyd must happen ... it's now or never! manny should clearly say to arum he wants mayweather may 5th.... that's the mindset i want to see from him.

[r ! z]

Manny Pacquiao......I want floyd Mayweather on May 5th

Bob Arum........But Manny, your eye isn't ready.

Manny Pacquiao......It's ready , I want Mayweather

Bob Arum........But May is too soon. We want to build a new hotel and casino with a giant fish tank inside. We still have to order the fish from over seas.

Manny Pacquiao.......The fans have waited long enough and the MGM is ok for the fight.

Bob Arum........But ,but we will lose 20 million from the gate if we don't build this new hotel/casino.

Manny Pacquiao.......The fight will still gross 100-200 million which is more than enough profit for us.

Bob Arum.........But that leaves me with making only a few million off the fight.
Plus the 27% I steal from you of course, but thats besides the point.

Manny Pacquiao........Bob, make the fight happen.

Bob Arum......But what if Floyd doesn't get his boxing license?

Manny Pacquiao.......Mayweather is the vegas cash cow. He will get his license. Didn't Roger get his back? Roger did 6 months in jail.

Bob Arum........But but I promised peterson and Bradley and Marquez, And margarito, and Cotto, And Rios, and Pavlik, and Chavez jr, and Gamboa, and clottey, and Lopez and Donaire that they will all get three fights a piece with you.

Manny Pacquiao.....I want Mayweather now

Bob Arum.......but you against Marquez for the 19th time is massive. It will be bigger than the Mayweather fight.

Manny Pacquiao........Mayweather is the fight the people want. Lets do it.

Bob Arum......but he's with Golden Boy.

Manny Pacquiao......So

Bob Arum.......but Al haymon sucks

Manny Pacquiao.........Bob, make the fight.

Bob Arum........but but, the investors. what about the investors? Michael Jackson dad wants the fight in November.

Manny Pacquiao........we don't need investors.

Bob Arum...........but, but

Manny Pacquiao..........No buts, just make the fight now.

Bob Arum.........F--------cccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkk

Sorry Manny, not buying it. According to your promoter you have a serious cut above your eye that needs however long Mayweather is OUT of prison to heal. It's been well documented.

Maybe in the fall.

It's a trip how *****s say this have no credibility until the contract is actually signed by both fighters but yet they go crazy when Floyd threw out a date. How is manny saying I will tell bob I want Floyd next have no credibility but Floyd throwing out a date mean he wants manny and is calling manny out and is doing whatever he can to make this fight. Wtf????

This, QFT.

[richardt]

This is where Pac needs to box Arum in and tell him it's Floyd or no fight and walk out the door. EVERYONE knows Arum is the only obstackle right now and Arum is not going to be able to talk his way out of this. He is backed into a corner cause Pac made his intentions known. It comes down to Pac and Arum.

[richardt]

I believe if Pac and Arum go forward with Mayweather as the choice, Mayweather will go forward as well and accept the fight.

[Gary Coleman]

This, QFT.

There is a serious rift between Pacquiao and Arum regarding a Mayweather bout, it would seem. History tells us that Bob pulls the strings, so why shouldn't people be apprehensive of what Manny says? When has Bob NOT controlled who Manny fights and when?

[Hougigo]

While I don't believe Arum, I believe Manny. He might want it, but others don't want him to fight Floyd.
