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

[jbpanama]

here we go again and the headline is the problem already. arum needs to understand that he has no say so nor will he be the promoter.

Maybe Arum will Step Aside, Now Our Hero, El FRAUD,
will have to come up with a New EXCUSE to PUNK OUT!!!

Of Course that depends on How "RIPE" Pac looks on the 23rd....

Compared to DLH he did. The fact is, 50/50 wasn't on the table and he didn't get precious about what he was going to earn. He thought he would win and the big money would come after. He gambled on himself to get that fight which is why he parted ways with Arum in the first place. A wiley promoter like Arum actually said the money wasn't in a Mayweather/DLH fight. He didn't see the bigger picture and neither did Pacquiao. Pacquiao now says more stringent testing is good for boxing, why didn't he think that way with 50/50 on the line? Either he knew it then but didn't care or he was too ****** to know until now. Which do you think it was?

We all know that the Testing Smoke Screen was FRAUD's Brilliant way to PUNK OUT!!!

So why is Manny doing testing for the Rios fight?

You are so gullible. Pac has a fight coming up and Arum drops Floyd's name to help promote it......that's the only reason he is saying this.

Once the ppv is over over he'll go back to talking about needing to build a stadium and lining up investors in Dubai.

[lets rumble]

bob arum using mayweathers name again to grab some publicity......
pac has just had two loses and now takes on a lightweight and all of a sudden he is in the mix for a mayweather fight ?????
he should be fighting a genuine 147 top fighter and then going for floyd.
this is a cherry pick . period.....

At that time, there were NO MORE roadblocks. Everything else had been agreed. Money, ring size, gloves, weight penalties. Everything. The fact is, Pacquiao didn't call Mayweather's bluff. And there would've been the same cut off for both men for fight regardless of before or after. There it is without passion or prejudice. Again, Mayweather isn't my idol and he does plenty wrong, like fighting Canelo at catchweight when he didn't need to and flamed Pacquiao for doing it.

Pacquiao is now demanding testing despite never doing it before because magically he now knows it's good for boxing, when that thought escaped him with the biggest fight of his life on the line. I'll ask again (since you conveniently sidestepped it before). Why do you think he is demanding rather than paying it lip service?

I repeat, Pacquiao didn't refuse testing. The cut off was the issue. How many times do I have to repeat this? Google what Pacquiao agreed to. He refused your idol's brand of testing. If that was so infuriating to you, howcome you give passes to others like Ward, Hopkins, the Klitschko bros who refused testing, but their fights went ahead anyway... Mayweather's so-called testing never go beyond 14 days cut off. His last two fights were even questionable. Why aren't you even bothering to consider these things?

Show me exactly the procedures of these so-called tests that are different from what Pacquiao has agreed to. Berto and Peterson were caught by urine taken about three months before their fights.

Tell me exactly what these so-called tests are. How many blood tests taken, what date, etc. Provide me links.

Now your jumping on his bandwagon!!!lol

I tend to do that when a mu****a makes sense.

And yet still you continue to duck a blatant and open question (the irony). Let me spell it out clearly. Manny Pacquiao, despite agreeing in principle to stringent testing, has never partaken in it. It was stated, the potential for testing at anytime up to the fight doesn't mean it does happen, just that it could. Mayweather wasn't asking Pacquiao to do anything he wasn't prepared to do himself. If Pacquiao had "called Mayweather's bluff" (your words), we would've had a fight, but the fact is....... he didn't. Whatever he didn't like, cut offs or whatever, Pacquiao didn't agree to the conditions offered. And for FOUR YEARS after never ventured into testing even to show good faith..... until now. Now all of a sudden he thinks it's good for boxing. I'll ask again in enternal hope of a decent answer, why do you think he's finally made the leap from paying lip service to demanding it himself? Why didn't he know it was "good for boxing" when it really mattered?

No way Floyd earned 100 million. The record still stands at 52 million set by Oscar Delahoya.

I think he earned 48 million for Canelo.

His guarantee was for 42 million and thats before his cut of the ppv with estimates coming in at 80 to 100 million due to t housee ppv numbers
