Comments Thread For: Arum, Roach Still Eye Mayweather For Pacquiao in 2013

[puga]

Didn't they say mayweather doesn't want to fight pacquiao?? Or was it just another lie of bob arum because he had other plans for pac?? But this shows us that they never actually tried to make the pac/may fight..

no ..thats actually what a lot of boxers claim too including larry holmes (check my sig), ray leonard , aaron pryor , hollyfield , chop chop and a lot others..not a lie at all ,floyd never wanted it, it's the truth....

You could have read all about it on Boxingscene, instead of believing the usual mentally disturbed suspects-your fellow looney Maybugs. The "stadium" was to be a TEMPORARY pre-fab structure, of 42,000 seats, built by MGM on their vacant 10 acre lot across the street from where their casino is and would be expected to stand for up to 2 years.

It was an MGM Grand concept, and, since Arum is the biggest and best promoter, as well as having the biggest boxing attraction under contract, they discussed it with him. During one of his TV interviews he passed it on, saying he thought it was a good idea as it would have thousands of cheaper seats, allowing fans who couldn't afford much, to attend. They didn't build it, because a key component of the fight, Mayweather, was too elusive to pin, and he was also increasingly shown as unstable and undependable and liable to be too tangled up in his frequent law-breaking activities.

There you are, spelled out simply.....

I hope you understand all this, it's not "complicated", but it was all on this site.

Anybody else notice the "Manny wants to fight before April" excuse? Built-in scheduling conflict for the next round of negotiations.

we've been running around in circles with this whole mayweather vs pac thing for too long.....i've said it before and i'll say it again, there is NO WAY that this fight EVER lives up to the hype if it does get made....its just not possible....if it does get made, it will be mediocre at best watch, i've also said that if it was really gonna get made, it would've been made last year....both teams have moved on this is all just talk for the press and media

i actually hope it doesn't get made, know why? cuz if it does, everyone in the world is gonna watch, and i bet it wouldn't be an action packed fight, mayweather prolly plays it safe and boxes his way to a UD, very little action from both fighters....then everyone gets pissed off that they waited 3 years for this BS, fans turn away from the sport, boxings rep goes down the crapper, sport takes a turn for the worst......i dont want this fight to happen

[-MAKAVELLI-]

stop already with this ****** ****...its insulting to fight fans now to keep trying to dangle this carrot
