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

Yes, but they want them to return to THEIR Casino. They don't want them to simply go to the nearest Casino to gamble, they want in with them. Not to mention, getting a limo in vegas during fight week is a *****. It would take for ever to get back to certain areas. Owners don't want their gamblers stuck in traffic!
What about this are you not getting exactly?

They will come back to the casino.

Unless they plan on bringing tents and sleeping bags to the stadium, the casinos have nothing to worry about.

LOL, here yall go hahahaha

If Pac the one diminsional midget that can't hurt nobody wins

What will JR's favorite EXCUSE be for not fighting PAC ?

After manny kills Rios, Manny and TR, HBO, and their corporate partners will do what they always do-use the spectre of a floyd fight to hype manny and appeal to his fans and the fans that don't like floyd. You guys will lap it up like a dog because you can log on and post well floyd didn't fight manny so he isn't an ATG etcetc.

[PAC-BOY]

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 ?

oh oh oh oh oh me me me me i know....

He has to many losses?

[mrjoeblive]

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.

Pac does not come close to floyd in purses earned. Floyds last match was for a guaranteed 42 million plus ppv he earned 100 million. Where did you get the 30 million figure from? Its more close to 15 million of which he already received a large cash advance to pay expenses. Floyd could fight khan and earn 35 million plus a cut of ppv.

Mayweather is not officially a GBP fighter, but does business with them because it obviously makes them both a lot of money as well as GBP being established.

[twosweethooks]

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.

Mang, that sounds like a good excuse, by the way , who has Khan fought to get the mayweather fight ?

[The Big Dunn]

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.

Manny went to China-no roads lead to him.

[JohnSmithJr]

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.

High rollers can go watch the fight, or stay in the hotel and keep ********. Very simple.

Unless you own stock at the MGM, you have no reason to doubt the revenue potential for the entire tourism economy of a Las Vegas had the stadium been constructed when the fight was still hot

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.

Wow Dunn youre right. Didnt think of it that way. That makes sense. They are just using Floyds Name. Because their is nooo ***ing way in hell Floyd will ever fight Manny Pacquiao.
