Comments Thread For: Pacquiao, Arum Show United Front on Mayweather Terms

[Kilrain]

It's disgusting that Pacquiao is abiding by Arum's blatant BS. I profess myself disappointed.

One minute May 5 is fine, next minute, when Floyd wrangles out of his jail term, it's impossible.

If it was the other way around, and Manny had to go to prison on June 1, and Floyd was INSISTING on a late May date, Arum would be furious, claiming Floyd doesn't want the fight and Manny wants at least a few weeks with his family before the sentence. (I realize it's not a life term, but going from a 2 month training camp to a 2-3 month stint in jail means very little family time.) May 5 is a perfect date. It's the most logical date for the fight. An extra 25k seats is only going to bring about $1,000,000 in ticket sales, so where's the $30 million figure coming from?

No. What I am saying is that Mayweather was called a "ducker" when that all happened. Now that Pacquiao is the one refusing, does that standard and term now apply to him? I'm not saying who is right or wrong, just asking for some consistency.

Funny thing is, I don't even like Mayweather. I think he is a jackass. However, like a typical Pac fanboy, you assume that anyone who disagrres with Arum or Pac is automatically a "*****". How old are you, 12?

wait this kid just called me out on assuming he was a ***** while at the same time assuming im a typical Pac fanboy.

***** logic.

Floyd should do a press conf and respond to this ASAP.

Word, I just tweeted to floyd saying he should respond back asap and let ppl know hes ready to go no more Arum bs, bfore arum makes even more excuses. Im rooting for Pac, but this fight needs to happen.

They would be united considering how they seem to be on the same page in regards to ducking Floyd. Bob Arum commanded his lapdog to roll over and play dead.

Seriously? What a shame. As a Pacquiao fan this is disgusting and a clear duck on Manny's part

[marvin douglas]

Damn good point Kilrain! At a hundred dollars each, those 25k cheap seats would only generate $2.5 million, and that's at a hundred each.

There you go. Mayweather has no friends. Maybe 50cents can guarantee him the purse. lol GBP wont...wow! Team Pacquiao stated they're ready and its all on Floyd. Get his guarantee and in late May..its on!

so is arum pac's friend because controls his every career move and gives him money??

[boxingfan76]

Pac will fight Jmm 4 get used to it . pac knows very well he lost to JMM and if he fights mayweather hell probably get knocked out.No other fight really means a damn thing for pac because you cant basically lose to the same guy 3x and be considered great,pac has the entire world on his side but he knows better than anyone that JMM beats his ass every time.pacs wins over jmm are only on paper total fake ass wins.

[marvin douglas]

I still say it's on for May 19th.

beating on woman stealing deformation of character threatening children...yeah thats intelligent. He will go down in history alright...but not as the best of anything. manny wants to punish him. Because he is what he is! glad to see you defend a person like him....

Well he wants to beat on a real woman but Miss Pacman wants no part of it. I don't usually say this about a fighter because I know what it takes to be one but Manny is highly intimidated by Floyd Mayweather and rightfully so cause Floyd will smash his ass. Put up or shut up!!! If I tell you to come outside I don't wanna here no punk ****!!! Manny has been called out but he's hiding behind his promoter and your trying to defend him so what does that make you? I'm just saying. It is what it is. The name calling by you is ignorant and unimpressive just tell your cowardly, b!tchass hero to sign for May 5th so we can get this BS over with. don't worry It'll be quick and simple.
