    Arum has got some real bargaining power with Floyd now , because it can be set up as a 2 fight deal , Floyd vs Bradley Floyd vs Manny , if the unforeseen happens and Bradley won he still got Manny vs Bradley , and Floyd is down for 4 fights and he is done , there aint much out there for him unless he goes to MW which I dont see happening .

    I think the time has finally come where all stars align and Arum is ready to make the fights , and the dollar potential in matching these 3 fighters over the next year is mega huge .

      Arum's problem is with Golden Boy and Al Haymon, but Floyd won't leave them.

      Floyd is his own promoter but he is promoted by golden boy and al haymon pretty much is the adviser to golden boy for every single one of his fights.


      I remember Arum saying if Floyd got with Don King the business would be done easy.

        Add Canelo-Cotto, and you'll have yourself a 3mil+ PPV record.

        Yeah, put the Canelo vs. Cotto fight at a different venue to generate that revenue also to be able to pay Canelo and Cotto their just due. Bradley would probably take 5 million to fight Khan knowing Mayweather would net him 10 million if he beat Khan. They'd be able to make 25 million at the gate for May vs. Pac and they'd probably do 2.5 million ppv buys at least, if not 3 million. That's 250 million dollars which is what they thought they would make 3 years ago.

        Pac has to look good against Rios though or none of this will matter. But anyone who thinks Money vs. Pac with a decent undercard would not sell or break records even now is misguided, imo.

Condense your post and outline your main talking points instead of writing a wall of text.

              Was also thinking this. Both Manny and May don't have much options left so lets hope this happens. Its a financial success for all involved

                I can seriously imagine it now.

                Mayweather vs. Pacquiao would do 1.8-2.1M PPV buys
                Bradley vs. Khan would do 500-800k PPV buys
                Canelo vs. Cotto would do 1.2-15M PPV buys

                We're looking at 3-4M buys with that card. Holy Jesus.

                Bob, Oscar! Make it happen!

                  I think Arum would sleep with the devil if it suited his agenda and he would shove his crucifix necklace up his ass on the way in .

                  If Arum " truly " wants the fights they will get made .

                    It dont work that way , like as an example , maybe 1ml of the Cotto Canelo people are also 1ml of Mayweather Pac buyers .

                    Its not a linear thing where you add them together as most are the same boxing fans .

                      How the fcuk is that 3 offers? The first 2 are one and the same. So that's 2 offers, one of which comedic.
