Comments Thread For: Arum in The Dark on Pacquiao's Preferred Opponent

[The Big Dunn]

First off....i dont know where yall keep getting this 60/40 from. It was Floyd offering a FLAT 40 Mil with him keeping all the PPV. This whole OSDT mirage is a thing of the past...its just about MONEY now. I would like to see Sergio fight both guys, but Sergio KO's both of them. Size and power just too much, even for Floyd. I personally wouldn't mind seeing Manny take on Devon Alexander myself, but at this point in his career....like all big names....at the end, they are looking to maximize profits. As for them being on the same level...thats an unknown as we have yet to see them fight. Assumption is the mother of all "f" ups

Larry Merchant asked floyd about the 60/40 in the cotto post fight interview. Yes, we all heard about the $40 il no ppv offer, but it seems 60/40 has been offered behind the scenes.

My point is enough of the double ****ing standards. If they don't fight then they should both have the same list of potential opponents.

[The Big Dunn]

he is never going to fight at 154, he is already a junior welterweight fighting at welterweight as it is.

toatally disagree with if floyd can fight sergio then pacquiao can. mayweather is better suited to 154 than pacquiao because he is naturally a bigger man.

you keep saying 60/40, but that offer has never been made. floyds only offer has been "40 mil, take it or leave it"

Floyd was man enough to let ODH and Cotto weigh 154. He is better suited for 154 because he is a better fighter, not because he is bigger.

Thats the problem I mentioned in my other post. They are just about out of fighters to fight. Other than Sergio.....who do either of them fight!?!???

[Larry the boss]

Ok to all the morons who keep bashing Mannys choice of opponents....WHO is he supposed to fight other than Floyd (please spare the idiotic responses such as the ghost)? Sergio is NEVER going to happen, as Sergio is a MW who is NEVER dropping to 150 for a cw. So again...WHO!??!???

so you skipped right past 154 right?

Its the other way around...DLH "let" Floyd fight him at 154. Cotto has always been a big guy, and you must be kidding if you dont see or know size is a major role in the difference between these fighters. Thats like saying....Hopkins can fight LHW and he fought DLH, so that means DLH should be able to fight LHW too?

yes...I find it hard to see Roach letting Manny go in at full JMW, hence why I said cw.

c'mon man. he is better suited because of his physical attributes as well as being a very good fighter. for instance, 26" arm length. i dont think there is another welterweight with that kind of stat. he is also taller. is there anybody at 154 that is 5 foot 6?

yes larry merchant asked him about his strong position that he has to get 60%. that doesnt mean it has been offered because merchant says so.

That is a problem. Each other or Sergio. And, being fair, you were on point with Alexander/Manny. That and Tim/FLoyd are very good fights.

Look, if you want a title at any weight, let the champion fight at the max weight. If you have to bring the champ down, you don't belong at the weight. Period!

That goes for manny, floyd and any fighter. It has nothing to do with BHop and LHW.
