Someone should put two people in one spot on one end of a football field, have Arum walk 100 yards back, have him look at the two people, and then ask him if this is acceptable!!!

In fact, someone from Mayweathers team should do the scenario I just mentioned and then take a picture and post it to show people how small the two fighters would look 100 yards back!!! I hope team Mayweather reads this because it would end all Arum's arguments....as if he has any anymore.Last edited by richardt; 01-19-2012, 01:24 PM.Comment

Hey, maybe someone from this board can take a picture of two people from 100 yards back and post it here and email it to Top Rank!!!!!!! I bet no one would be able to make out the difference between the two people from that far back!!Comment

I had to use Binoculars to see Taylor vs Chavez at the MGM!!!! Imagine how hard this fight would be at 100 yards outdoors!!!!!!!Last edited by richardt; 01-19-2012, 01:21 PM.Comment

Hype Job
38 year lightweight marquez exposed Pacquiao as the hypejob he is.....Im not buying any of his fights unless its with Mayweather......Arum is really taking advantage of the dumb boxing public ...making pacquiao fight boxers with a lot of disadvantages ( I dont remember any evenly matched pacquiao fight) + Bias HBO commentating ( they making money of pacquiao too) ....**** this **** ..Pacquiao vs cotto 2 ?? really pacquiao chasing after a weight disavantaged cotto for 12 rounds, pacquiao vs peterson?? pacquiao taking advantage of a come foward brawler?? Marquez?? to rob him again....Bradley seems like a good fight but knowing Arum, Cotto will be plan B....(biggest market least risk) even though first fight wasnt even close......**** Pacquiao ..cant box for ****. shouldnt even be p4p top 10 .... Hopefully mayweather fights martinez at 154 ...thats a real ****ing fight ...P4p #1 vs P4p #2.... Most boxing fans just want pacquiao to get in the ring so that mayweather can kick his ass and dilusional pacquiao fans can shut the **** up. but it will be an easy UD for MayweatherComment

I read a pretty interesting article on yahoo titled Team Pacquaio's Smokescreens that went into great detail about how Arum is exaggerating the extra revenue that would generated by the temp venue. It talked about how the MGM pays a $20M licensing fee that the temp venue wouldn't have to pay. It talked about how the temp venue would cost close to $10M to build. And how you would have to pay ridiculous prices for extremely crappy seats in order to generate the income Arum is tossing out there.Comment

Anybody who belived the outdoor stadium is dumb, its prolly gona be real hot in vegas on may 5th, food, drinks, restroom, bar areas, if u been to floor level boxing match u kno the chaos that goes on there, i remember seeing people just chillin at the v.i.p bars n not even cared about the fights, so arum is just making an excuse, its crazy to do an outdoor stadium, jus do it at mgm, if arum wants to make more money hes just gonna have to make a lot more bets in favor of moneymayComment

Here are objects 100 yards away. Look at the 3 cows in the midground. If they were 2 boxers would you be able to see what they were doing or know who was who?????? Hell no!

Don't know how good llerbe's math is, I do know that there have been more than 120,000 people several times at fights, for instance Jack Dempsey, Julio Cesar Chavez etc.
Actualy Arum said that the gate could be increased by "as much as" $30-40 millions.Comment

Great point right there. who would pay a premium price for those tickets ?
And from what I hear, most of the seats at Cowboy Stadium were giveaways.
" cows " ?
That is my Aunt Mary and Uncle Harry, on a picnic, please stop talking about my fam like that.Comment
