Comments Thread For: Atlas Blasts Arum, Talks Mayweather-Pacquiao Outcome

[indystress]

i love atlas...but lol hes wrong in his predictions most of the time. Anyone who knows him..knows this.

i hear you bro.
this atlas guy has picked against pac way too many times and looked like a fool.
this atlas guy has also predicted way too many fights having opposite outcome.
this atlas guy may think he is an expert, but my god i make better predictions than this fool,
this atlas guy makes me look more like the expert

Another sorry azz trainer! Teddy you dumb ****, if you already know that Floyd will pot shot Manny all night and win decisively, then there is no reason to make the fight anymore. You and the ***** band wagoneers are the dumbest boxing fans around..you'll just made Arum the ***wit, the smartest man alive...you'll know that Pac doesn't stand a chance against Floyd and yet upset that the fight's not going to happen in May.......smh

Truth be known, you are almost certainly correct, go figure.

Recent actions from Arum and Pacquiao indicate that you are probably right.

[LeadUppercut]

Bump......

Pacquiao, think about how your disgracing your nation with your cowardice. You are bringing shame on your people. Please accept the fight.

Once I read "Atlas blasts Arum" I knew immediately what would follow. When Atlas "blasts" it just means that large volumes of hot gas will emerge....from both ends, impossible to tell which is which. He's a long discredited purveyor of irrationally scattered invective.

I suppose that he and everyone else works for free. And wouldn't take another similiar job at more money if offered???

There are "loose cannons" like Atlas all over the boxing world.

Blah, blah, blah..... and Atlas was obviously 100% correct.

CLEARLY, Bob Arum is roadblocking the fight.

C'mon Filipinos! Mexicans always fight the best-- and without weight draining their opponents. You gotta fight the best like we do to even be considered elite on our level. How many Mexicans have fought Floyd?

Maybe the proper question is how many mexicans floyd fought???

Can boxingscene post a chronological order of the negotiation of this fight, so that everybody will be knowledgeable of who really is the ducker from the beginning, instead of accusing the other fighter of ducking only because of a "twitter" bluff.

The past is irrelevant now. In the past you could argue that both were avoiding the fight to some extent, but not any more. Mayweather reserved a date of May 5 for his next fight, got his jail sentence postponed solely because of that date, and made it clear he wanted that fight to be against Pacquiao; and Arum has refused to countenance Pacquiao fighting him on that date, without giving any legitimate reason. That's a straight duck, and whether Pacquiao is too ****** to see what Arum is doing, or is complicit in the duck, I don't know, but either way, the responsibility for the fight not taking place now rests entirely with Team Pacquiao.

Up to now Pac has had quite a lot of sympathy from many neutral boxing fans but no more. Only a complete nuthugger could support him now.

You sound very gullible, totally unlike you. May 5th is only 3 1/2 months away, and seeing that it's only the middle of Jan. there is no telling when MannyP's cut will have healed. It was very serious, to the bone, needing 3 layers of stitches totalling 28. That's the serious kind of cut, and healing time depends on the individual. No way that any half conscious businessman, even fighter, would take a tens-of-millions risk on this.

Mayweather would only be to glad to take the fight-that is, if he's serious and it wasn't a fake to get the postponed gaol term, which he will later ask to be converted into a suspended sentence for good behaviour- and target the eye from the beginning. He'd love that advantage and this may be behind his trash talk. Otherwise I see no reason for his booking the MGM for such an arbitrary, early date not even discussed with a fighter of such stature as Pacquiao. I tend to believe it was a fraud, and worth Mayweather's gamble he might have to pay a cancellation fee. If he's finding another opponent, that won't be relevant.

How I see the fight - the first 2 rounds Pac crowds Mayweather....wins them, then Mayweather starts timing Pac with brilliant counters. Pac's work rate decreases like all Mayweather's opponents and he gets frustrated. Mid rounds Pac stuns or drops Mayweather, Mayweather collects himself perfectly and snaps Pac's head back repeatedly with booming rights and dominates to the end to a 116 to 110 or 118 to 110 decision.

You sound delirious. Mayweather never threw a "booming right" in his whole life. He doesn't hit that hard, and it certainly doesn't "boom" He has the advantage mainly because it's a sneak right hand, which often catches oponents unawares.

My guess is the odds will reflect passion rather than a realistic look into the fight. It may be 50-50 because of the hoards of fans from the Philippines. But I think in reality it should be 2-1 in favor of Mayweather mainly because Pac lost his last fight.

The "little old men" in Las Vegas and elsewhere will be the ones to make the betting odds. They won't be influenced by anything except their own knowledge of boxing and betting. I don't know how they make their odds, ans I should think that neither does anyone who is not in the business. They likely accept only small bets and "lay off" the larger ones here and there with different bookies they know, to hedge in case the favourite wins.
