Comments Thread For: Arum on Pacquiao's Opponent, Mayweather's 50-50 Stance

[Reloaded]

Anyone paying 60 bucks to see these two repeat the same dance must be brain damaged.
The Pac Show is becoming a circus of shame.
Floyd's problem is that he won't put his 'Money' where his mouth is.
At the end of the day the battle cry is sounding more and more like ' who cares.'
Shame on both men for holding a key to a promising prizefight and keeping the door locked.

The fat lady has not sung yet , the negotiation is not over , and neither fighter has officially named their next opponent and date ,,,Id sit this out a bit longer yet !

I'm pretty sure Pac is going to waste our time with Cotto.

Not sure who the hell Floyd is going to fight.

Of corurse he is going to fight Cotto..A leas try and fight Bradley who's undefeted and can create a Competitive fight ...But i think they r just gona do this with Cotto cuz they know they can beat the hell outa cotto again..But yeah well as long as Arum has the power he wont let it go :sith:its hes terms or No fight which we all know its just Lies the guy has Lied multiple times in the past and he will do it again he dont care about the people who watch the fight..cuz either way most of pAC's fans r gona tune and buy it even if its a useless fight it dont matter so Arum knows this and he'll play this game until the very end...

Years from now both of them will look back and remember they could've made 50m+ Their time will come and they will be lucky to make 250k per fight. They will be stepping stones if they haven't retired yet.

I've just been re-watching the cause of the Mayweather animosity to Arum, and remember when it occurred but had forgotten about it. Mayweather has indeed a small and juvenile mind. I'dswitched on his first Castillo fight, which in my candid opinion Mayweather lost 116-112 or even 117-111. Pure home cooking for Mayweather.

There were only a couple of thousand at the fight, and Merchant remarked on it describing Mayweather as "regarded as one of the best fighters in the world..." and continued....."...

"His father daid that if he had any problem with the promoter he should look in the mirror at some of his behaviour outside of the ring..." and continued.... "Arum said it dated back a while to the time when Britany Spears was perorming in the same room...... and Brittany Spears had a huge sign outside (shown) and Mayweather demanded from Arum, (right before the fight, I think), one exactly like it. It cost $150,000 and Arum didn't see any profit in it and refused"

And Merchant continued, (no doubt thinking of the small attendance,) "at least she had sold out this arena several times........"

So there we have it, whether you like tor not. Small and malicious, and not conected to any financial corruption or stealing Mayweather's purse as he likes to talk about.

Pretty sure an attorney wouldn't go to court without having written proof of contracts. What if the judge ask for proof of the obligations is he suppose to say just take my word for it?

I seriously doubt they have a contractual obligation. There's no such thing. All they have to do is prove that they reserved the MGM to fight on that date. But, that doesn't mean that they're contractually obligated to fight on said date. He can always move the date. Now can the court allow him to move the date is the question. But, if the article of Iole is true, then they might have room to move. but, that doesn't mean they should. May 5th is perfectly fine.

It's very clear since the very beginning, Mayweather doesn't want a piece of Pacquiao cause he knew he will lose

Floyd ducks Manny bigtime

Hey,
I'm not commenting a lot , but I read the comments often. I'm more of a Mayweather fan than Pacquiao, but I know how to appreciate good & great fighters. A lot of this infos are misleading. IMO Floyd refuses the 50/50 split because, from what I can conceive, it's on the total sharing revenue and, sorry to pacs fan, but he bring much more to the table in terms of sponsors. I can be from since it's not clear if it's in total revenue or sales revenue. For the May 5th date, I don't know how your court system works in the U.S., but for us in Canada, you must have a Darn good reason to postponed a sentence like that. He succeed once since it was supposed to be in January, but I don't know if he can pull it twice as Bob want to "postponed 30 days". Another matter was the outdoor venue. One of the primary reason why Pacquiao set the Plan B for a June 9th date was for having enough time to construct the outdoor stadium. Now it's out of the picture...I don't know anymore what to think of all this because it's seems like every other fight, little or big like every Klichtkos(sorry for the spelling), Hopkins, Kessler don't have Sooo manys hurdles. But then again, Pacquiao-Mayweather seems to be a war of PR, Money before a war in the ring...I guess the old saying good press, bad press sell for either parties...But what I know.

Floyd is taking this stance on no 50-50 to self seztructthis fight!

50-50 or no fight!

[LeadUppercut]

Is that a fact?

I dunno, but Uncle Bob sure jumped on it like a flash.

That spritely old guy doesn't sleep, I swear.
