Comments Thread For: Arum: We're Very Open To Mayweather-Pacquiao in '14

[hitking]

This fight still to this day does over 2.5 mil, even more if Pac looks spectacular against Rios and maybe someone else.

Manny is human now. Not only that, he's a massive underdog against Floyd. The appeal was that it was close to a 50/50 fight. And actually, most casuals thought Pac would win. That has totally flip-flopped. Very few of that projected record breaking number was tuning in to seeFloyd win. Since they now believe that that won't happen, many won't bother to tune in.

We'll see what happens when it comes to fight making time, Arum knows what it will take and if he is willing to accept that sort of deal. Kind of a pointless thing to be talking about at this point as this is not the matter at hand currently.

The ******ity of some people on here, its got to happen next year.

Its the biggest fight in boxing out there by a country mile, EVERYONE WOULD WATCH IT.

People ( mostly floyd fans) saying pacquiao's done and he's shot are absolutely ******, if he did get dominated by marquez then yeah hes lost his touch but he comfortably beat bradley and was dominating marquez till he ran into a punch( which from a purely Analytical point does nothing to hinder pacquiao.)

Mayweather TKO 5 or 6.

Damn,some groupies are still talking about PUS*Y JUNIOR that never had the balls to fight PACQUIAO because drug testing,PPV money,etc....AND THE DRAG QUEEN OSCAR FOUGHT MANNY AT HIS PRIME AND OSCAR WAS DRAINED NEVER ASKING ABOUT DRUG TESTING,THIS MEANS OSCAR HAS BIGGER BALLS THAN PUs*Y JUNIOR!!!

How's Oscar doing these days? Say "hi" for me the next time you visit him? You do visit him, right? Seeing as you admire him so much.

How could he when manny keeps refusing to fight? You can lead a horse to 50/50 or to $40 mil (no ppv) but you can't make him accept it.

AWESOME EXCUSE's DUNN !!!!!

Excuse #1 Manny keeps refusing to fight

Excuse #2 Manny refused 40 mill (shhhhhhhhhhhssssssssss don't tell nobody that jr was keeping all the nice 200 mill from ppv for himself)

[hitking]

So your Excuse is Khan is makeable hahahahahaha and Pac ain't, LMAO !!!!

Dang mang that sounds just like Floyd Jr !!!!!! You sure you ain't Jr ??? come on now , do yer coming out of the closet, mang!!!

One of my biggest regrets in life is that I didn't shoot you down your mama's throat like I normally did. It was just too good that night to pull out.

[Holywarrior]

So the excuses are :

Wess - No stadium

Hitking and holywarrior - Pac is no longer a threat and Jr's says I don't need him

Sombodys gonna come up with a GREAT EXCUSE

What Excuse Do YOU think JR will use to Duck Pac ?

I didn't say Pacquiao wasn't a threat, I'm just saying Mayweather is at a point in his career where he isn't obligated to justify his large purses because it's already in his contract.

And Mayweather DOESNT need him. For what? This is a business, no disrespect to Pac but they were able to afford fighting others and seemed happy to do so. Pacquiao doesn't need Mayweather either.

Ok, even if they filled Cowboys stadium like I said previously that wouldn't even touch the gate they would've done in Vegas.

Look what Canelo/Mayweather just did. Like 20 million dollars not including selling out all the closed circuits. There was absolutely no need for a stadium.

Despite being a huge fight, Canelo vs Mayweather was simply never going to be as big as Pacquiao vs Mayweather during the peak of interest.

Anyway, all I am saying is the stadium at the time, was a realistic proposition.

Was it the best idea? I dont know, but I happen to favor the stadium because when the fight was still hot, it deserved a live audience of 100,000 people.

Manny wanted 50/50...Floyd didnt want it. He wanted to make more than Manny at that time because he thought HE was the attraction....:AOR:
Manny has fought more. Don waaaaay more and was Fighter of the decade. 50/50 wasnt a bad offer. Floyd said NO. Or was it Quack Quack?
40 million and No PPV...heheheh Floyd is a ***ing ******. Manny is getting 30mil and PPV for fighting RIOS.....lmfao.

Manny accepted $18 mil plus ppv and requested PED testing to fight Rios. Had he done this in 2009 you would be calling yourself "Sergio-Boy" for the last 4 years on NSB.
