Comments Thread For: Arum Confirms: Mayweather, Pacquiao Had Phone Convo

[MrRolltide91]

So the other day arum says that he hasn't heard from Mayweather, and he doesn't know who to call in regards of representation for Floyd, now he says that Mayweather and koncz have been talking the only difference is that Manny was there.

lol yep...

Ellerbe just confirmed this. And didn't disclose the details but said Manny agreed to the fight. Only person standing in the way is Arum. But that's false, if Arum can convince Manny that a 38,000 seat outdoor temp arena in a parking lot can make them 3 times as much money as 18,000 seat Arena at MGM grand then he should blame himself for being so ******ed. Even if we pretend double the seats means double the money thats only an extra 20mil. And that's assuming u sell the extra 20,000 seats which are way further back and cheaper, for the same average price as the first 18,000 seats. Consider the fact that the majority of the money comes from the front row and top 2 sections or first 4,000 seats that go for an average of $2,500 then u begin to realize that Arum's figures are completely off. At best the stadium would make 3mil more than now. If u wanna throw a 100mil away for another 3 mill split 2 ways...lol that **** is on YOU! Not ur slave master Bob Arum you dumb ****

arum will say look pac heres the deal floyd has to go to jail june 1st; if you agree to fight a bum from my list at the new venue on june 9 i guarantee you 20 mil, and since floyd won't fight you in november either you can fight another bum from my list for another 20 mil extra.
'yes master as you wish'

you're right... but it's more simple than that....

those extra 20,000 seats = cheap seats.... even ringside seats will be cheaper....

whereas if it happens in the mgm, the seats will just be double the price.... meaning financially it's not going to benefit them at all....

it might well serve to be a 'bigger' event, because more people will be able to attend which will benefit vegas' economy.... but it won't be through ticket sales where the money will be generated....

Please! No outdoor temporary arena. We don't need another "fan-man" incident mucking up the fight of the millenium like Bowe/Holyfield II.

Too many variables with an outdoor temp venue. Stick with the MGM Grand on May 5th. Pacman's schedule should take priority since he's a congressman. I don't think Floyd had any hard plans since he was assuming he be in jail or just out by May 5th anyway. LEt's get this done guys!

[Fay]

didnt read the article...did pacquiao agree to May 5th?

[LupinIII]

lol @ mayweather calling manny directly to see whats wrong with him

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

that is actually funny

May wants this fight bad

[treason1]

the fact of the matter is manny is a buisness man and it is his job as the head of his family to provide food for them and to provide for there future !!!!!! it would be disgustingly irresponsible for him to not maximize the exposure of fighting in a bigger stadium that would bring his family more money to help provide for their education and to help the poor and homeless !!!! !mayweather doesnt give a shazoo because he will end up spending his money on cars , hookers and ******** !!!!!!

[LeadUppercut]

and you call yourself a boxing fan???.... wow...

Yep, what a clown Blubba. Pacquiao's idiot fanbase are shameless.
