Comments Thread For: Arum: Who Gives a **** About Mayweather-Khan?

floyd did that in 2009 when he accepted the over weight 10 mil penalty. He did that again before he went to jail then Bob's son in law said the cut manny had was too bad to fight.

Finally floyd gets it. Don't say too much, don't make youtube videos. Just let Bob, manny and his fans say whatever they want to.

Let them win the PR war while you keep making $50 mil everytime you fight.

Stephen A and Skip talked about this on First Take this morning. And of course while Skip went with his typical "Floyd's scared of Manny", "Floyd's waiting for Manny to get old" spill. Stephen A basically verbally shut Skip down basically calling Arum out sayng Bob knows this is nothing but a smokescreen because Bob knows that as long as he's gonna be apart of the promotion, the fight isn't gonna happen. And even Skip had no comeback.

Oh yeah, he made Skip look especially dumb when Skip claimed Floyd was waiting for Pac to get old citing that Floyd's two years older than Pac. Funny stuff.

I think Khan and Garcia need a rematch because let's keep it real, before Khan's brittle chin happened, Danny was getting schooled.

enjoyed that fight! even khans punch drunk attitude of still wanting to exchange. yes a rematch!

don't always agree on arums business moves but he's running his marathon like a real boss! can't say i don't re-watch a ton of top-rank fights.

Khan so used to being concussive that he'll fight in that state.

True, I dislike Arum but his fights are entertaining more times than not.

See I think he could change people's perception, especially ones that thinks he's ducking. For example, we've seen Pacman go on first take with Stephen A and Skip and basically called him out, imply he was scared and was willing to do whatever it took to make the fight happen. Lots of people saw that.

Now lets say Floyd goes on there, speak his mind and says something like "Ok you want to submit to all my demands, get the contract out and let's get this done." You don't think that does anything for Floyd? At the very least, it shows the public he wants this fight. Puts the ball back in Mannys court. Beat Arum at his own game. I mean, aside from the first round of negotiations, has Floyd showed any interest in this fight since Manny stepped off the drug testing stance?

And the fact that he gets so defensive and flips out anytime somebody brings up Manny, is another reason folks say he's ducking. They take that as fear. I know people say Floyd doesn't care what people think about it, well I think he cares a little because why else would another mans name make him so defensive. Floyd can play the same game Arum is playing and call his bluff. I want him to

The same people saying Floyd is ducking Manny will be the same ones saying Fkoyd waited for him to get old after he beats him. They're already laying the groundwork for that excuse.

At days in, most of thos with no dawg in the fight can see the smokescreens from Bob and realy don't care. During this whole soap opera, Manny's won the PR war for two reasons. First, Team Pac has cared a helluva lot more about winning the PR war. And secondly, Manny is a lot more likeable than Floyd. So naturally, people are gonna side with the guy they like more.

I don't think Floyd cares.

Dude, stop. If Floyd had called Manny out prior to the Rios fight, you and most others on here, myself included would have blasted him. And to be perfectly honest, I'm still a tadbit dumbfound that that sentiment has flipped 180 degrees in the minds of some based solely on Pac beating Rios.

He reportedly made 80m+ against Canelo. Hard to imagine he'd make more than that with Pac unless Manny is willing to take a flat guarantee. Which now has likely dropped lower than the 40m Floyd offered. And that's because now, the fight has less value than it did in those days.
