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

[hitking]

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.)

Dominating JMM in a fight where he had been dropped and was up one flippin' point on each scorecard at the time he got sleppy. Now that's ******.

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.

That's all well and good for the live fight fans but that's not what Arum/GBP/Pac?Floyd are fighting for, despite what they try and tell you.

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)

I've got one, I've got one!

Mayweather's excuse is he refuses just to give your life (and your little friend, pac-boy's) some meaning. You talk about nothing else and say even less of actual meaning. If it happens, you're reason for living is done.

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.

$18 Million is guaranteed prior to ppv #s, 1 million ppv's is an additional $12 million in his pocket. Now where did you get that Floyd earned $100 million. Why would Pacquaio fight Floyd for $40 million when he can earn $30 million fighting easier matches? I didn't bring up Floyd's money, my entire argument was Manny makes pretty close to that for events that sell around 100,000 less than Floyds.

SO floyd makes $200 mil and manny makes $40 mil? why do you care? you'd have gotten the fight you wanted.

Yes, we all understand that it's all about the money.

There are plenty of variables to consider. And at the end of the day, Team Mayweathers only objection to the stadium was having to take a leak in a port a potty.

Floyd earned between $88 and 95 mil for the Canelo fight. According to the NY times and the wall st Journal-he gets money from ticket sales, concessions, closed circuit, etc etc. based on his deal.

Wise move considering the fights bombed. Wouldn't have been anywhere other than Vegas anyways though if this fight ever happened.

[mudpunch]

This fight should've happened in 2009-2010. Pacquiao would probably have won then. Now? No way. Pacquiao's simply too old for Mayweather's style. It's going to be an embarassment. Do not want.
