Comments Thread For: Arum Confident Marquez-Bradley, Not Floyd, Goes on 9/14

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Bob Arum confirmed that the unthinkable, even for boxing, will not occur.

The Hall-of-Fame promoter stressed Wednesday that there will not be two pay-per-view boxing events Sept. 14, preventing what would be a severe disservice to fighters, fans, promoters, premium cable companies and anyone else interested in the health of the boxing business. Arum is open to moving the Juan Manuel Marquez-Timothy Bradley pay-per-view card from Sept. 14 to an October date if Floyd Mayweather Jr. fights Sept. 14, but Arum also said that he won’t move Marquez-Bradley if anyone other than Mayweather, including Mexican sensation Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, is the headliner of another proposed Sept. 14 pay-per-view show.

move d date , simple solution

History says Arum is right. If I were him and Floyd/Alexander is made I would go ahead with Bradley vs JMM on that date anyway. Would be the bigger fight.

There's no need to go head to head on ppv.You both lose because it's a zero sum game.

I actually agree with Arum here. 9/14 is a Mexican holiday weekend and if Mayweather doesn't fight Canelo, he should move back.

Where are you guys getting Alexander from?

Sometime before Guerrero was confirmed, Mayweather said Alexander was the front runner. And there's a sense that Mayweather is staying at 147.

[M.I Truth ?]

Golden boy reserved the date first so I think Bob has to take that into consideration. Well he doesn't have to but he should. We are the ones who lose here.

I think that was Floyd messing with people.
