Comments Thread For: Mayweather Jr. Lashes Out at Arum Over Pacquiao Fight

[Bee Keepz]

Floyd is worried about this health. It showed last night.



Damn, it was a great night. A lot of Puerto Ricans and Mexicans at the bar we watched it at. Insane atmosphere...FREE SHOTS of Hornitos and Tequila...$20 cover...the casual fans were pleased.

All they talked about at the end was PACQUIAO-MAYWEATHER, this fight needs to happen.

Do you people forget Marquez/Pac 3? Mannys going to look like an ant next to Floyd. He cant back Floyd up and his jab is ****. Manny fans think hes going to hop around to a decision. Floyd fought a man that was 165 pounds, at least, with 10 oz gloves. So you cant really compare victories. Manny doesnt have tools to beat Floyd.

Floyd is correct. But the fans & casual fans don't know what goes down. So their solution is to blame Floyd.

No active boxer can beat Floyd though. Who would you rather see other than Manny?

Martinez? Canelo? Guerrero? Khan?...all unanimous decisions. Pac is the only fight that makes sense.

oh you mean that idiot Roy Jones? go take a nap you're embarrassing yourself.

Aren't you the same idiot that just said being the promoter in a fight between Floyd and Manny doesn't matter percentage wise? LMFAO!!! That's probably why Arum OWNS Manny, lol. Dude you left school too early or something, you definitely FAILED math and your business sense doesn't make sense. Back to high school for you my dude.

Sure I want to see Manny and Floyd fight but lets be serious here. Manny had a 50/50 deal on the table but wouldnt do ODSTs for up to 14 days, which is better than any oppenent of Floyd has ever gotten, and they pulled out. Maybe Slob Arum thought that offer would always be there but things change. Once Manny sued Floyd it became about the money. Now hell never get a 50/50 offer from Floyd again. Maybe if he drops the lawsuit.

Pac vs Marquez 1.45m PPV Buys

Pac vs Mosley 1.3m PPV buys

Floyd vs ortix 1.25m

floyd vs mosley 1.4m

50-50 is fair floyd, end of, stop making excuses, pac has agreed to random testing

Nice try,those Pac vs Mosley PPV numbers was from Arum whose known for lying hiss ahole off.And Floyd vs ortiz PPV numbers was not released by HBO.

And Floyd would be a damn fool if he went 50/50 with fruadquiao.Like i tell you fools a million times Floyd finances his fights which is what a promoter does so he would be taking a financial risk investing his own money,
Pac does not promote his own fights which means he`s not taking a financial risk.Arum would have to give Pacquiao a spit of his end.

So if all the Pac numbers are released by arum, who are Floyd's numbers released by - Golden Boy?

I don't understand how we can't trust Arums, but we can trust Golden Boy - they're both promoters, protecting their investments. And if Golden Boy's numbers are verified by an independent source or HBO or something - why don't/can't the same sources verify Arum's?

From what information we do have, Pacquiao is just as successful at the box office as Floyd and has been for the past few years. When Floyd says Manny isn't doing record-breaking numbers, it just sounds so idiotic and evasive. And bringing up the OSDT again last night? Jeez, he's really clutching at straws in his effort to worm his way out of this showdown.

you seemed to be a floyd fan. so what's your take? 50/50 isn't fair for this fight?

Floyd is such a moron. He got a guarantee of $38 million for the Cotto fight plus what I'm assuming is a substantial cut of the PPV (though not the "100%" Floyd ludicrously claims), so we're probably talking, what? 45, 50 million? For the Pacquiao fight, we all know it'll do over 2.5 million buys, hell it'll likely surpass 3 million PPV buys. So Floyd will probably make AT LEAST $60 million. And he wants Pacquiao to be content with a flat fee? That's just ludicrous.

Also, what the hell are you talking about Floyd FINANCES his fight? What on Earth are you talking about? He's promoted by Golden Boy. Mayweather Promotions is a joke.
