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

[turnedup]

I still stand by what i've said..as long as Schaeffer is involved this fight will not happen...Schaeffer was the problem the first two times and he will be once again. The moment Arum sonned Schaeffer after DLH got his azz whopped that's when the feud really went off. Schaeffer wanted the top spot in boxing, he got it and they don't negotiate with any other promoter. People say oh it's arum, it's arum, it's arum..well how many other promoters are in the sport? How many of them has GBP done business with the last few years? ZERO!! They buy the fighters like they did Canelo, make the original promoter a silent partner and run their show. Yet folks will sit here and say it's arum, it's arum, it's arum. Arum's about that money..ask Ali, Tyson, and plenty others.

Anyone else think that Arum all of a sudden wants to negotiate so fast before Pac vs. Rios PPV numbers come out?

I they are bad they it won't even be a negotiation, Floyd could just Ask for Manny's services and tell his promoter to step to the side.

Arum won't allow HBO to release the PPV numbers, just as he has not allowed the PPV numbers to be released for Pacquaio's last six fights. You are right about the numbers being low, but we will never know how low they are.

Grantland would disagree with you on that..you can't prevent ppv numbers from going public..it's on a larger company who has to publicize those numbers upon request.

If he's chicken why would he fight a bigger stronger fighter in Canelo?

He approached Canelo years ago, before he even blew up. Obviously he saw something he can take advantage of.

Hahah..we may hate Arum but hes bluntness is hilarious

Why hate the dude...he is willing to make it happen. Hw want to do buisness. Hes NOT the one saying..." i will not do buisness with so and so." He is wanting to make this a deal.
On the other hand...When Floyd comes up with insane demands and comments like..."Who?" What can you say, other than Floyd is ducking like a coward. If you gonna hate anyone...blame and hate Floyd!

Arum is clearly trying to pave the way towards better relations between himself and Floyd Mayweather.

No. Arum is simply blowing smoke up the collective asse.s of all the Pacquaio fans in an attempt to get more people to buy Pac's next fight against Bradley. This crap didn't work when he tried it with the Rios fight two weeks before the fight, so he is starting early with Pac's next fight.

Ok but he didn't fight him years ago, he fought him months ago.

Schaefer wasn't the one who walked away from the deal at the end of 2009 that was Top Rank. They give them the middle finger in the middle of 2010. It was Arum who said he didn't know who to talk from Floyds team after Marquez 3 and Mannys cut from a November fight wouldn't heal to after May. So from where I'm standing Arum is up 2-1. he worked with Dibella for Ortiz vs Berto in 2011 just saying.
