[boxing1983]

I do have a question for you guys. For all the bull**** boxing fans have been put htrough for years. If Bob Arum can make this fight happen is he forgiven for all the bad he has done?

"@ChrisMannixSI: Arum says he is guaranteeing Pacquiao's half, if someone guarantees Floyd's the fight "can be made in ten minutes."


This right here is the biggest load of tripe that has come out of anyone's mouth. It's completely irrelevant and just downright ******. As if floyd won't get a $30-$40 mil guarantee. Besides it has nothing to do with Bob. Bob's just ****ting a brick because he's not ready to feed Manny to Floyd yet when he can make 2 or 3 more in house fights and make more money for himself. As for Manny he's even worse, he's basically ducking Floyd at this point. Run Manny Run. This is a disgrace!!!!!!!

Speaking of running, I would love to see a sig on that...kind of like the sig that someone made with Floyd's head on a chickens body...Mannys head should be on the road runners body...ha!

Arum wants 50/50 in exchange for fighting at MGM on May 5th...
If someone bankrolls Floyd's 50m guarantee, especially if Floyd bankrolls himself to avoid GBP's involvement, Arum will accept May 5th.

He is just saying late May so Floyd would bend to 50/50 split.

Mayweather Promotions would co-promote with TR and Floyd can easily get his $100m with this setup.

And where did you read this?

I clearly read "Bob Arum tells SI from Philippines that if @FloydMayweather accepts a 50-50 split and can guarantee his half, Pacquiao can fight in late May."

Last time I checked, May 5th is not late May.

Then why not do it for May 5th

May 5th is the date. I don't understand why they don't just go with that.

And if Cotto is in the mix for Pacquaio, where does that leave him with the possible Mayweather fight?

Its psychology , accept a deal thats not the deal on offer and make sure you get an advantage , Bob knows the closer he can get to jail time 2 things happen , the less likely Floyd will want it , while Bob is hoping if Floyd say ok that he will be distracted by jail , why does it matter to Arum about Mays purse .

Why does Arum ALWAYS complicate things with a whole bunch of nothing , and regarding purse didnt Pac say he would accept a lower than Floyd slice ,, I guess this is more BS from Top Rank .

If you count backwards it is! Duh!

Hell no.......This fight should have been made after Pacquiao Ko'd Hatton.
Bob has been the problem.

I bet manny would have taking blood test but Bob told him not to.

Like everyone here, I'm making **** up... but think about it.

MGM is not a problem anymore, and Manny said his cut is fine.
They can fight on May 5th now, but since they initially said that they'll take less purse, Arum wants to backtrack and say 50/50.

If I have points to bet, I'll bet all of it. Floyd bankrolls his guarantee for 50/50 and watch Arum says yes to May 5th.

It's called posturing, both parties are negotiating in the media like they said they won't. Bastards.

Which has to be the most pathetic excuse I have ever heard in my life.

"We don't want your date, we want our date!"

Maybe they are not playing the pride game at all, maybe they're just playing games, period.

They just don't want the fight and are going to the contrary of anything that Floyd asks for just to not make the fight happen. Silly me for actually thinking for one second that Pacquiao was actually gonna step up to the plate and just go all out and call Floyd's bluff on everything. I was wrong, Pacquiao wants an easy fight for his next fight just like he's been doing for the past 2 years. Hopefully Floyd capitalizes on this and fights a good challenge like Martinez or just a prime a opponent not named Guerrero, and no whack fighters like Cotto.

As for Pacquiao, if no Mayweather fight, he'll have to fight Timothy Bradley just to save a little bit of face. Even then he'll still be looked at as a bitch. And Bradley would probably kick his ass too, so he'll look like a bitch for ducking Floyd, and then get his ass handed to him by Bradley. Then hopefully he just fights Marquez in a 4th fight and loses that one as well, then just retire and put an end to his fraud career.

I have got my hopes up too many times for this fight before, but not this time. I will believe the fight is happening when I see the two in the ring together.
