Comments Thread For: Arum Talks Mayweather-Pacquiao For 2013, Bradley II

Wow, c'mon Pac, fight Bradley again. Nobody wants to see a 4th fight with Marquez. And you ain't getting 50/50 with 50 cent. More likely 65/35 since losing to Bradley and ducking him for a rematch. But that needs to be done if you're to be taken seriously as one who cares about your legacy more than money. If you're REALLY a changed man, PROVE it and step into the ring again with Bradley, or fight Floyd even if the terms aren't in your favor. You grandstanded too long as well as Floyd, but you got knocked off the hill 1st. That was the risk you took by waiting 3-4 years and blue-balling the boxing world.

As far as 50 cent and the new promo co, interesting stuff. What if boxing could all be united under the same promoter like UFC? Well, we know it would be less profitable for a few fighters, but if done right could increase the exposure to the sport and start earning new fans. Boxing must field either mex or flips to sell tix. UFC does not have that problem, people love a good fight no matter who is fighting!

We need to get boxing BACK to that concept. I'd be for a whoesale update to boxing. A shakeup so to speak, a re-org of the weight classes to UFC type weights, so that more guys would fight each other, less belts means more significance for the belts that do remain. Lighter gloves by 2 ounces would mean more knockouts...and my specific idea of adding 2 ounces to the gloves of any heavyweight over 230lbs. That way, you can have pumped up cruiser-weights like David Haye getting a fair shake against a 6'8" Vitali Klitschko.

It just makes sense.

f0ck bradley..we all know pac won that fight...why do you think pac is still the only name they throw around floyd?....

[Mike D]

Again, Pac/May will eventually happen. It's 100% a guarantee. Nobody...NOBODY will ever turn down that much money. Nobody. And before people start saying that the $$$ is weak now for that fight...mofo please.

These two bytch diva duckers -- on crutches will still blow away the PPV buys record. They could be in wheelchairs going at it and they'd still smash the record.

[LAPete]

Make no mistake. 50 Cent is going to make this fight happen and not Bob Arum.
Theres a new sheriff in town and his name is Curtis Jackson!!!

same **** different year

[rckdees]

said it before, i'll say it again.....the only way this fight happens is if scumbag bob is cashing out on pacquiao.

PAC-tards still angry and hating life because PAC keeps declining to fight Floyd. Looks like Bob will get his way and avoid Floyd once again. PAC should have just taken the 50-50 offer years ago, let alone the 40 mil. By this time next year lil PAC man probably won't even get a 40 million guarantee.

The sad part is PAC doesn't even have the leverage to demand anything at this point. Then again nobody cares nor do they want to see the ****ty fight anymore.

[WESS]

Pac offered him $50 million and Floyd declined the offer. Easy fight, easy money.

PAC does not make offers. He will take what he can get. Losers don't have words to speak at the big boys table. Bob will do all the talking and when he's ready to make the fight, the fight will be made. Bob has made that perfectly clear numerous times kiddo.

[WESS]

how the hell would that mean floyd is serious about fighting pac when he got counter offrred 50 million that floyd declined? think, my friend think, or does it really hurt to do that?

40 million is a serious amount for the man PAC. He will take what Floyd offers him when bob is ready to make the fight. The boxing community understands bob is just exhausting all his options until he is ready to cash out. Why you choose to ignore this is beyond me but hey people have the right to be ignorant. So I forgive you.

Boxing fans have said this for years. The ones that didn't feel this way now understand why they where wrong. Bobs made it perfectly clear about his agenda. Nobody can argue it anymore which is why many boxing fans have lost interest in the fight.
