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

[turbotime]

What does Floyd know about the business side of a promotion anyways? Anyone with common sense knows that 45k seats will sell out easy for this fight, even at top dollar. So why would you not want to do that? People are getting too emotional and losing their common sense.

Arum has dropped that stadium nonsense. Anyone with common sense knew that there wasn't going to be a stadium built for once fight.

That excuse wasn't going to last long.

Uh, yeah. that's where GBP comes in.

Top Rank who works with Pacquiao is a promoter, they know how put an event together. Why would you need another promoter, you'll just end up paying them a cut and most likely they will just be watching from the sidelines. All Haymon needs to do is negotiate what's best for Mayweather, with GBP out of there, that means more money for himself. You don't need to be paying money to someone that's not really of any use to you. And this is what I truly expect will happen.

Unless GBP actually has some kind of contract with Mayweather, they really don't have much to stand on. Like I said and I'll repeat myself again, the only reason GBP worked with Mayweather was because he was fighting their fighters. Pacquiao is not a GBP fighter and thus Mayweather will not be working with GBP.

What happened to Pacquiao saying he was going to force Arum to make the fight? Then Arum openly admits he doesn't return Floyd's promoter's phone calls?

Yeah, Team Pac doesn't want this fight. The evidence is all over the last week.

Everyone knows Mayweather doesn't have a promoter. He has Al Haymon to negotiate for him. Every time I hear him talk, it's Al Haymon that represents him. The only time he worked with GBP was when they had a need for them to put the event together, which they didn't have much of a choice as they were fighting their fighters. Mayweather Promotions don't really know how to put an event together, he has to rely on the real promoters to do that job.
