Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather-Pacquiao Likely Not in Play Until 2013

[Stop]

Wouldn't mind Pac giving Marquez another beatdown to shut his tard fan base up about "robberies".

[nycsmooth]

IMO it will never happen...pac wants 2 retire so he can be a governor & won't take the drug test...

[Oxn]

Just down right pathetic. And, he will get it too. Why? Because he controls Manny and Manny won't reject that fight. Then, they will fight and Manny will struggle again and be given another W, when he actually lost. Then part 5 in May 2013 to "finally" settle the score, which pushes the Mayweather fight back to the fall of 2014.

Do you still care about the fight?

Do you still care about the fight?

At this point, nope.

[THE REED]

The fight will eventually happen... just not at a time when it would have been the best time, when both are coming off great wins, and still in their prime.

There's no reason to risk a loss on either side when both keep winning and keep the revenue stream coming in, with each somewhat safe pick... no reason to take the risk.

They might each make 3x more fighting each other.... but with 3x more the risk....

Or keep making what they're making with much lower risk.

They will eventually fight, but it will be after both of them are past prime and both having a loss or two...

Hearing the same ol' story for almost 4 years now. Whenever there's proof of papers signed by the two parties, then we can trust this *****...

The fight is going to be like RJJ vs Hopkins 2.

Except this time we know itll turn out that way.

I like that plan. I'd rather see Pacquiao-Marquez IV, Mayweather would win easily and in probably boring fashion plus Marquez deserves another shot. Also, if Manny decides to retire I won't knock him for that either.

That would be terrible.

Yeah, when they are both broke and in their mid/late forties.
