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

[turnedup]

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

You think GBP was going to sacrifice Canelo years ago? LOLLLLLLL....

[hitking]

LOL!! I remember outlining Bob's entire timeline for how he was gonna proceed with Pac's next fight. Say they want Floyd during the promotion to Pac's fight. Check. Quietly announce Pac's next fight date, which is totally different from one Floyd already has. Check. Come out saying he's either placed unreturned calls to GBP or publically say someone on behalf of Floyd needs to cal him. Check. Next he'll scream Floyd don't want none. And then he'll quickly proceed to miraculously announce Pac's next fight, while claiming Floyd wouldn't answer the phone. I think I've seen this movie before somewhere.

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

You can use that excuse for any fighter. Roach said himself he only allowed PAC to fight DLH because he knew DLH couldn't pull the trigger anymore so he saw something he could take advantage of. Or PAC fighting Rios a guy who had just got out boxed by a guy who can't really box again he saw something he could take advantage of.

Bob Arum: Nobody got in touch with me about the Mayweather fight so..............we are doing the Bradley rematch in April.

Floyd is a Coward. The sooner you come to terms with this the less feeble minded you will look!

What is the point of your post? I didn't see anything on that link stating that HBO had released the PPV numbers for the Rios fight.

If you actually believe Bob Arum when he claimed he was paying Pacquaio $18million to fight Rios, then you probably believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny also.

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!

have you heard anything yet from floyd the fraud and his management team? are they really shook or what?

at least arum is willing to take the first step to start the negotiations. floyd the fraud keep on saying that pac is easy money then why not come back with at least a reply?

pussy floyd and his pussy team are all scared or what?

Schaefer is the one guy I think can get this done
He put Mayweather vs. Cotto, and Canelo together without any problems and Broner vs. Maidona was pretty fast to.
Schaefer gets it done.

Even for Canelo vs. Cotto they got an offer out there pretty quickly (Not sure if Cotto will take it, but it seems fair)

No I don't think GBP was going to that and nor would I have thrown my cash cow out to the slaughter either but FACTS are he was bigger and stronger than Floyd and a threat. So why would take that risk if he's scared to fight PAC who hasn't had a KO in a while now?

The FCC gets a cut of every ppv sale in the U.S. as a nominal fee so they have the numbers...plenty on non-lazy journalists (Grantland) have had access to every ppv event sale # since the 90's because of this open policy with the FCC. Pacquaio averages 1.10 million ppv buys, Floyd averages 1.17 million ppv buys for their past six fights. Not including rios but including alvarez.

As far as the money guaranteed,it's in writing otherwise reporters cannot report it...why? Because the contracts in their final state get filed with the sanctioning body and considering a belt was on the line in this fight even more so.
