Comments Thread For: Arum, Koncz: Mayweather Doesn't Want Pacquiao Fight

[indystress]

I promise half of you people are ******, ******ed, or don't know anything about boxing. Mayweather goes out and wins a lopsided decision over a guy Pac TKO'd in the 12 round and now all of a sudden Mayweather doesn't have a chance against the great Pacman, who in his last fight for his ass kicked by a guy Mayweather toyed with. You people are ******.

why do fraud fans always use marquez to quantify what fraud will do to pac? how about what pac did to delahoya/hatton/cotto/mosley??? pac is 4 up to 1 on mayweather...all fraud fans got is marquez to brag about...pac got four, not just one...four (hatton/delahoya/cotto/mosley)!!!

and by the way, fraud fans can use marquez to make comparisons with pac, but the difference is, the fraudster ignored the catchweight weight and paid the fine...which is more of an advantage for him (da fraudster) than it was an advantage for pac having cotto only lose 1 pound off @ 145 of cottos usual official weigh in weight of 146

and to fraud idiots who keep saying pac couldnt do sh/t against a smaller marquez...what idiots!!! both pac and marquez has the same fight nite weight, so how is pac the bigger man?

Look. Nobody wants the fight.

Arum wants to be lead promoter and keep all the money.

Floyd wants to spite Arum and make him succomb to his demands

Golden Boy wants to use Floyd's name to build canelo and khans popularity

Fight hype cares more about Floyd's finances than making the fight happen

Other media outlets and boxing sites just want to use the negotiations to land more readers.

Floyd fans only want the fight to happen under Floyds terms

Manny fans and floyd haters just want a reason to label Floyd a coward and **** on his career

Boxing heads don't want to see a one sided clinic which the fight will end up being

Casual fans have turned to mma


Be honest nobody wants this fight to happen. Time to move on.

I 100% AGREE, with all of this being said everyone has a agenda.

Pac Fans - Don't wanna see Pacquiao get a massive asswhooping.

Floyd Fans - Don't wanna see Floyd give in to Arum.

GoldenBoy - Use Floyd for promotion to further there fighters.

TopRank - Keep bringing in top dollar because they can rob Pacquiao and
not have huge splits.

Arum: but the cut wont be healed and i need to build stadium. But if Marquez wants to fight on May 5 to cut will be healed

Mayweather: Take the test and we have a fight.
Pacquiao: Okay.

this dude still don't get it. if a boxer is reluctant to fight, it means he believes he will lose the fight. all others' opinions mean crap. the only opinion that matters is the boxer's opinion.

Didnt floyd come in like 20lbs heavier when he fought marquez an had to pay a fine? That cancels out any nonsense about pac catchweights.

Floyd ducking pac nuff said.

due your a ****ing idiot so your saying mayweather came in as a supermiddle weight lol

[SoulByThePound]

Do you mean "Arum has the final say"?

With that said, Koncz and Manny stated they would take the May 5th date given the fact they would get 50-50.

I never saw Floyd state Koncz was lying, in fact he stated they agreed on everything but the split. If Koncz was lying then Floyd would have been using the fact they didn't want May 5th as the reason the fight fell through.

ignore this all you want....

It was just this week that Arum said he would go to the Philippines to meet with Pacquiao and present him with the names of four possible opponents for May or June: Miguel Cotto, Marquez, Lamont Peterson and Timothy Bradley Jr.

Arum figured Mayweather would be in jail and off the table. Now that Mayweather is available and seemingly would like to make the match, Arum suddenly isn't interested.

He used the lame excuse of the cut Pacquiao suffered against Marquez, saying he might not be ready for May. (I've never heard of a cut taking more than six months to heal.) However, earlier this week, when Arum thought Mayweather would be on ice behind bars, he said there was a good possibility Pacquiao would fight in May.

Moments after Mayweather was granted the continuance, Arum changed his tune.

"We're fighting in June, one of the four guys," Arum told me over the phone.

I asked him, now that Mayweather was available, would he at least be part of the conversation when Arum meets with Pacquiao next week?

A perturbed Arum's response was, "Absolutely not. Nope."

Come again? You won't even talk about it with Pacquiao, I asked very politely.

"My mission is to go over to the Philippines and talk about these four guys," Arum said. "If Manny feels he wants to go in May, he will tell me. I want to make sure Manny's cuts are healed. We won't fall under this kind of pressure. June is much more likely for Manny's fight, not May."

So May was a real possibility yesterday, but now there's no way?

"What if they fought and Manny started bleeding on the first punch?" a clearly flustered Arum said. "I don't know if Manny is available to fight in May. I have no idea. I haven't talked to him; I haven't seen him. Seems to me, June is more likely based on what his plastic surgeon said."

Arum threw out another "reason" (or excuse, as far as I'm concerned) not to try to make Pacquiao-Mayweather for May 5.

"I don't even know if Mayweather will be licensed [by the Nevada State Athletic Commission] before he serves his time," Arum said.

It would seem to me that if a judge would free Mayweather to make a megafight in Las Vegas, with the economic impact of the fight being a major reason for the decision, then the commission -- political appointees -- would understand what a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight would mean to the community.

In other words, with the amount of money it would generate for the desperate local economy, there is no way the commission wouldn't license Mayweather to fight Pacquiao or anyone else on May 5.

floyd fights for money. Has stated that many times hell its in his ring name. Floyd broke records with his guarantee, pac gets 20 million with 6 mil guareenteed. I dont even know how that works

lmao, ask these fools for the math and they wouldnt even know how he does it.....

[FALLENSOLDIER]

yeah so why did floyd reject 45 million?

floyd made that last night without pacquiao............

LEMME KNOW WHEN PACQUIAO HAS A 30 MILLION GUARANTEE, LET ALONE A 32 MILLION GUARANTEE....

KEEP IN MIND ARUM WAS SAYING FLOYD DIDNT HAVE A GUARANTEE MERE MONTHS AGO, BUT NOW WE SEE THE MAY 5TH GUARANTEE IS THE HIGHEST IN BOXING HISTORY!!!

[Check_hooks]

**** the floyd fight. We want the true winner last night.

Pac-Cotto 2!
