Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Asks Arum To Make Mayweather Showdown

Yeah and didn't Srl hold off the Hagler fight forever?

No he didn't. After being dropped by Kevin Howard and coming back to stop him, he decided it was time to retire. He came back because he wanted to know if he could really beat Hagler and he did.

Cmon richardt. SRL had the pres conf, invited Hagler, had him thinking he was gonna sign the fight, then retired. He and Bob made Hagler wait. Same as they did Hearns.

Thats what they get for thinking...I knew he was retiring with that conference. His family did not want him to fight again and finally he decided to later. He never made Hearns wait. The first fight was inside of 15 months after Hearns won the title and Hearns moved up in weight right afterward. Now Pac and Floyd on the other hand have avoided the fight for years.

And the point is -in the Leonard, Hearns, Cuevas, Benitez era, they did not have the same issues like the Pac, Floyd, Caballero, and tons of others who today are acting like franchise business owners rather than fighters. Using Leonard's lone example doesn't come close to what we are seeing today.

And Hagler didn't blame anyone but SRL because it's just automatic to blame the fighter. It means one fighter doesn't want it.

These comments are coming from Bob Arum, not Pacquaio. I doubt if Pac said anything to Arum about making the Mayweather fight. Look who Arum used to spread this nonsense -- Ronnie Nathanielz -- the ultimate Pacquaio nuthugger. Arum is using Mayweather's name once again to promote Pacquaio's next joke of a fight by trying to convince gullible fans to buy the next Pacquaio fight (probably a rematch against Bradley) because after that, Pac will be fighting Mayweather. Unfortunately, gullible fans will buy this BS and Pac/Bradley II will actually come close to selling 1 million PPVs instead of the 600,000 that Pac/Bradley I sold that turned into 1 million buys with Bob Arum's new math.

Exactly. Arum pulls this every couple of months or so. Nothing new there.

I prefer reading Pac's ghost writer articles threatening Floyd to a fight.
