Comments Thread For: Arum: No Reason Mayweather-Pacquiao Can't Happen

[johnnyrambo]

Since wen has a loss removed anyone from his prime?? Have a sound mind!! That's what the stigmas of boxing have done to those that once viewed the sport as pure.The intrinsic evil of the bureaucrat governing body's that manage the sport have in turn transformed our thinking & judgement leave us believing that a Pacman is past prime. Not so, and since when do undefeated teams win Super Bowls?

it'll be interesting to see how many PPV buys Pac/Rios does

May/Guerrero supposedly did 875k

Pac/Rios is a very similar main card, a superstar vs a no-name but talented fighter

If Pac/Rios does something like 600k or less, there's no way Floyd gives him anywhere near 35%, and you can kiss any percentage of PPV revenue goodbye

this fight isn't happening, not until pacquiao leaves Top Rank

no ****... floyd already said he wont fight pac UNLESS he signs with TMT, thats his latest demand...what makes you think it can get made if pac leaves arum?....lol

arum is definitely one of the main reason why the fight did'nt not get made, prolly 50% at fault ...but you forgot the other 50% floyd in whom his actions and words prove he's just as guilty as arum...

Well I hope Pac KO's Mr. Rio's in 4 , then takes another fight winning it, then Fight and KO Mayweather in the Fall of 2014.

I think everyone on here wants the fight and will leave Mayweather and Pull for Pac to KO his scrawny AZZZZZZZZZ hahahahaha

Everybody but FLINT hahahahaha

At this point, I don't think anyone cares about that fight anymore. I can see Manny calling Floyd out after the fight and Floyd coming up with another ultimatum (excuse) to stop the fight from happening. It's sad but true! Let's just hold our breaths and hope that it happens...

let us see if floyd the fraud will put a new roadblock for the fight not to happen.

its floyd the fraud together with his minions, floydiots would think of something that would derail the fight that hardcore as well as casual fans want to see.

HBO should put out a public press release that they're willing to work with Showtime to make the fight happen.

They could also try that that bidding thing they did with Donaire-Rigo. Who ever puts up the most money, gets it.

may/guerrero only did 650 - 700k.

but nice try, floydiot.

i dont even want to see it anymore

This fight isn't gonna happen. It would of happened already if they were serious about fighting each other. I'm over it.

In all honesty, Arum is ready to cash out. I think this fight with Rios is going to be a tough fight for Manny, only because of the results of his last fight and he is past his prime. This would have been a mismatch 3 years ago. Arum has his fingers crossed that Manny pulls it out, and there is no way Rios will win a decision in China. Now...who is left for Manny to fight to make the big ppv's and gates? Marquez has already made it clear that he doesn't want a 5th fight. Bradley, financially, does not bring a lot to the table and would be even more dangerous this time around. Its high risk and low reward with Tim. So who's left??? Arum knows Manny is at the end of his rope and wants that last huge pay day. So now of course, he will do everything possible to make the fight happen.

I honestly believe that Manny still has a great chance in defeating Floyd, especially because of the fact that Floyd hasn't fought anyone with that type of foot speed and hand speed since Zab Judah.Floyd is used to fighting much slower guys that stand right in front of him. That is why he always look so impressive. But then again...the same can be said about Manny and that's why he didn't look that great against Bradley. Still, Manny and Floyd would bring out the best in each other and make a classical type fight that would probably warrent a rematch. This is something Arum knows and its the only fight left that will bring in the money that he expects from Manny's fights.
