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

[-Huey-]

Who are these handpicked monkeys and where do they find them? Seems like any idiot can be a "boxing writer."

LMAO at "Cotto is very comfortable at 154, while Pacquiao is barely a welterweight."

The clock is ticking for Floyd. He has one year left to decide whether to add Pacman in his resume or not. He knows the consequences of being the only one who didn't have balls to fight Pac.

Pac should be offering him 40, take it or leave it.

what are those consequences? making $40 mil plus per fight? going to the HOF?

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.

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.

You saying Floyd aint bigger then Manny? lol. The offer was £40 mill flat not 60/40.

You really get worked up over this dont you hahaha. Grow up.

"Arum in The Dark on Pacquiao's Preferred Opponent."

Floyd is only bigger when it suits certain arguments. Floyd and manny are both ww. they can both fight the same people.

Oh I get it. Say I'm worked up because there is no real reason why they both shouldn't fight sergio. ok.

As I said, Merchant asked floyd about it. I only knew about $40 mil no ppv.

Manny should slap Arum in the face and tell him you will do what I want, if he wants a certain fight he needs to force the issue. Floyd and Manny talked in the past so I am sure he could come up with Floyd's or 50's number, to see if it was possible straight from the horses mouth instead of Arum telling him that can't happen~


It might not be possible, but Arum didn't even pick up the phone to check~ based on what he said Arum is much more proactive than that.

Floyd is no effing Mike Tyson. Half of the world doesn't even recognize him. Boxers with defensive boring styles don't make big names in boxing unless they're associated with someone popular. Floyd is a 24/7 star. I'd let him rot and let him remain a duck if he keeps acting like a pu55y if I were Pacman. I'm not the one being called a coward and a chicken...whotf does he think he is? Even Ali didn't act like that.

That is not enough of an excuse to not fight Sergio at 154. IMO, if floyd and manny are equal or on the same level, then Manny should have the same selection of opponents as floyd if the mega fight can't be made.

If people expect floyd/sergio then they should expect sergio/manny.

There is no need for JMM 4. Cotto 2, or Bradley 2. Either accept 60/40 with OSDT to fight floyd or fight Martinez at 154. No more double ****ing standards!!

That makes no sense... Floyd is obviously bigger than Pacquiao...

actually floyd, like Tyson, is the biggest seller in boxing and generates the biggest purses.

Thats funny, if you were manny you would continue to not fight him so people will call him a ducker. That makes sense.

ali never made $40 mil to fight anyone.

floyd is only bigger than manny when it suits the arguement. I thought imdazed's post was spot on.

they are both at 147, if floyd is expected to fight sergio then so should manny.
