Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather is Plan A, Pacquiao is Ready To Go

[MurkaMan]

Like I said, floyd should called their bluff and accept a fight for May 19/26 and see if Arum will back away from it!

If he does, then Floyd can fight whomever he wants without getting criticise.

I hate bob, but what he said about more seats, is true, the rest is garbage!

Its true, but its greedyish...Floyd doesnt care about making more money off the fight than he already will be making...he said himself, "The fight is already sold"...U have to be pretty greedy to try and milk every million u can...I guess from a buisnes stand point ur supposed to...but at the same time, it makes things harder when Floyd wants the fight at the mgm...and why wait till the 19th so a stadium can be built, when u KNOW there is NO WAY, Floyd will NOT fight at the MGM...fighting on the 19th serves no purpouse when u think about it...I would like to see a fight of this magnitude in a big gigantic stadium, but only prollem is, Floyd wont go for it

If Mayweather is plan A, and they just need to know who is representing him, why dont they just call Mayweather and ask?

[Leohappy]

what i don't completely get in arum's story is the way he puts things on the table (like the temporary stadium), and asks floyd to bring someone who will guarantee his share.
obviously arum and his firm want to control as many aspects of this fight as they can.
in that situation it could be difficult to find someone who will guarantee floyd's share...plus he already has his own date locked in, and that's not top rank's date.

This is the sad and ugly part of the sport. The politics. Now, Manny nor Floyd is afraid of the fight, but Bob is not the fighter, hes the businessman. Hes about what makes the most money, which i understand, as its his job. Thing is though we get left out in the cold. Truth be told, if this was going on all secretly...it wouldn't look so bad, but the fact that both camps have resorted to accusing both sides of being afraid, and acted like children by doing everything via social media, and various media outlets. If im Arum....do i try to maximize my profits? Definitely, but not at the expense of my character. Which Bob has done (or at least created the perception) to say the very least.

End of the day....EVERYONE wants this fight. Both camps want it, but the greed and business aspect is showing its ugly face, and has done nothing but create legions of obsessive *****s, and clueless *******s. From a business standpoint....it does make sense to wait. Many of the ones that say "its been promoted for years" are the ones that are short sighted, and would never be the elephant. Though from a true fan standpoint....I want it May 5th.

The drama continues.........

Who cares if GBP called Arum.....since Floyd is the man and doing his calling out, he can reach out to Arum directly and tell him who is representing him. I'm sure that phone call is worth over 30 million. Or he can text message Arum like he text messaged Pac. I want to hear from Mayweather. He is at least 10x more truthful than anyone else talking to the media at this time at 100x more truthful than Arum.

gbp has promoted floyd's last 5 fights. they represented him in the last negotiations. seriously, floyd is not gonna call arum. he doesnt like the guy. he mgiht call todd, but all this is is another excue from arum. everyone knows whos gonna represent floyd in making this fight, its not rocket science.

BoixngScene.com: We had a recent interview with [Top Rank President] Todd duBoef. He said Mayweather has his cell number and all Floyd needs to do is call him. Would him calling satisfy the situation?

Arum: Now wait a second. It's the same as you, calling me, and saying 'I want to do this fight, I'm promoting Mayweather, let's sit down and talk.' I wouldn't do that because I don't know if you're representing Mayweather or you aren't. You don't have a contract with Mayweather and neither does Schaefer. Schaefer has done some promotions for Mayweather for a fee, but that doesn't mean he's representing him on this type of situation.



Everyone knows if not GSP its Al Haymon.

Anyway if Mayweather is Plan A, Does that not mean he is suppose to actively go out and try and make the fight? You know like him making the calls. That he refuses to do. Why not ask that??? If Mayweather is Plan A why are you not making calls to make the fight?

[Vino Rotcha]

Bob is full of s**t and anybody who believes his garbage is also.

LOL

and you think Floyud isnt full of s**t???

you got to be kidding!

LOL

[PAC-BOY]

mayweather wants no part. he only said he did. Team pacquaio is ready. MAY 5this a joke. If Floyd cant get a deal done by the 19 or 26th wtf makes you think he can by the 5th...lol just because he has a date already for the 5th isnt ****. If he could hold up the business side this fight would work. What Floyd is looking for is another reason or excuse. I wish Arum and Manny were dumb enough to pass up the bigger money and go and fight for less money and beat this lame chump down and rid him from the sport.

[Muscles72]

Ok if golden boy is reaching out obviously schaefer whoever somebody with mayweather is tryin to work something out here whether it is sitting down workin out or whatever sounds like to me arum's not giving the whole story from what the world knows mayweather called pac out what else does he have to do??
