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

[hitking]

Bob the builder always does this before a Pac fight. Let's see how Pac looks against Rios before we talk about him fighting floyd. Pac may have lost some luster but out of everyone 154 and south, he still has the best chance of beating Floyd. I really hope we see the old Manny, before he got religious.

I think Tim Bradley's style would be more troubleseom for Floyd than Pac's.

a 100 000 seat stadium was going to be built in 4 months huh lol

it wouldn't even generate the revenue of an MGM grand because the MGM has a built in casino where all the high rollers will be and all throughout fight week, like they usually are.

Yes. If you've ever been to Las Vegas you would know a stadium could be built in 4 to 6 months.

And it's a just a stadium. Not a casino or hotel, but a structure where people gather to watch events. All the high rollers would just get limo's to the stadium.

Ellerbe lives in Vegas. He knew the potential was real. That is why again, his only criticism was about port a pottys.

Whether Floyd is willing to admit or not,he is a GBP fighter,so unless Bob finally has agreed to call a truce between him and Schaeffer/Dela Hoya...this is just the usual lip service that he and all the other promoters use to spread propaganda.

Yes, because that is exactly what casino owners want, all of their high rollers leaving the casino.
Common man!

does Mayweather's camp does that also?

No.. they don't actually. People interviewing Mayweather puts Pac's name in the mix. Floyd can care less

[turnedup]

To end 90% of the debates:

1. 6 fights for each since delahoya stats : Mayweather 1.17 million buys/Pacquaio 1.07 buys average per fight..the difference 100,000 buys!

2. The fight never happened and it wasn't due to either boxer. Schaeffer wanted to be Arum and Arum tried to son him. Schaeffer wanted it to be a GBP event and Arum wanted it to be a Top Rank event...neither conceeded.

3. Pacquaio and Mayweather aren't/have never been scared to fight each other.

4. Despite what is on believed both men have had a mostly respectful opinion of each other, aside from the PED allegations Floyd has spoken highly of Pacquaio throughout the years and even while being accused of killing the fight Pacquaio himself has never publicly criticized Floyd outside of the PED allegation stuff.

5. Both fan bases need to chill the f...out! Doesn't matter who you think wins and who you think loses. Doesn't even matter, what matters is the historical aspect of this fight happening which frankly is important to the sport.

6. I hope it does happen and i'm sorry but 100,000 more buys does not entitle any fighter to dictate finances. Cut it down the middle, make it a mandatory bout..end of story....both men go down in history and both men walk out richer than ever= Everyone happy.

They'd want it in a casino though where the town would generate more revenue.

LOL at getting a limo, getting in and out of those spots took me until about 2:20 am after Mayweather/Cotto to get out of dodge and I wasn't even ********.

Youre overestimating how much a stadium would make badly

[Ray*]

To be honest Pac might be ripe for Arum to cash out but it's still difficult to believe this man, the same man with the "investors" or "Stadium" or "Mayweather need someone to raise his money" etc

[mrjoeblive]

I asked Roach about this and all he said was "fcuking ***".

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahhahahahahahaha a!!!!!!! Thats just wrong big dunn. Very, very funny though.

[way2strong]
