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

[hitking]

why is it only mayweather fans that scream NOOOO?

Because the Mayweather fans, along with most other logical thinking folk know this is nothing but lip service from Bob. And that the fight doesn't mean anything right now anyway. Let Pac get back in the winner's bracket first. And BTW he doesn't do that by beating a second tier jr welterweight coming off a loss. And then, we may have something to talk about.

[turnedup]

Pac signing an extension with Arum a couple years ago ended all hopes of Floyd-Pac being made. If the fight isn't gonna be made, Pac's gonna have to accept a flat fee from Floyd, and break Arum of a piece of that and tell him to stay the **** outta the way. And me thinks Arum's ego is way too big for him not to be apart of one of the biggest promotions in boxing history, that will be involving his top dawg. And for whatever reason, Pac is too loyal to Arum to tell him to check his ego at the door.

Flat fee? LMAO...you must have lost your mind. Pacquaio is going to earn close to $30 million for fighting Rios...Rios..both coming off losses he off back to back..the only difference PPV # wise between Pacquaio and Mayweather is 100,000 people more buy Floyd's ppv's (Grantland has broken down the numbers) let's just say both mens events make about the same amount of money with a difference of like 4 to 6 million bucks. This shhhh is the most lucrative event for either man...one can't get that payday without the other.

All I'm saying is the Stadium was a realistic proposal.

As for revenue, The entire tourism industry in Vegas would collectively share an economic boost as a result of the fight. Everybody wins.

And if you had trouble getting out of the MGM for Cotto vs Floyd, then you are obviously not a high roller.

You think "high rollers" care enough to jump from place to place for a boxing match? lol

It's not about everybody winning it's about making the most amount of money. It's a business. Fill a 100 000 seat arena and you're still only looking at maybe a 15 million gate.

I wouldn't even buy it haha, not after all of the ***ery they put everyone through

Even if Pacquiao doesn't sign, there is a Cotto rematch, Garcia, Khan, Bradley, Marquez that could be possible next year.

Not the best fights, but when it comes to money Mayweather is still going to get paid so he has no obligation to do anything

****ery???????????? Hey man I like that! Im stealing that.

[hyeduk]

It's funny how people say it makes no sense but all of us including Floyd know it's going to be the most profitable boxing match

[Kuyukut]

floyd the fraud is still worried about his health fighting pac.

fucking scared coward.

[hitking]

Sorry but I respectfully disagree, Pacman would still be a live threat to Mayweather than Bradley would ever be, Mayweather is 3 times the boxer Bradley is and I meant that as no disrespect towards Bradley, everything that Bradley does best Mayweather does it 3 times better, Pac on the other hand can still match Mayweather in some areas and he is still a southpaw.

Even though he lost pretty much every round, Haton made Floyd very uncomfortable in most of the rounds they fought. I think Bradley uses that same gameplan, adds more speed, quickness, athleticism, technique, defense, and overall skills to the table and loses a 7-5 decision.

As for Pac, he makes way too many technical errors to trouble Floyd. It probably takes Floyd a couple rounds ro adjust to Pac's speed. But sooner rather than later, he starts timing Pac and countering him effectively. And once that happens, Pac's punchout drops. And from a distance, he's totally outclassed. I say Floyd wins 9-10rds easily.

[TRTboy]

Mayweather only been the one making road blocks. Didn't he recently say pac has to sign up to mayweather promotions to get the fight or some ****??

He is his own boss he says so what's stopping him from pursuing the biggest money fight for him?

[twosweethooks]

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 ?

[PAC-BOY]

All roads lead to manny Pacquaio. Floyd is running out of set up type of fights. He may need to retire until some get old or others are marketed a little better. Some will take a payoff some wont.
