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

[big_james10]

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.

You got it. During that time when Bob Arum created the phony countdown clock for Mayweather to accept terms for a Pacquaio fight, Margarito stated publicly that Arum had already promised him he would be Pac's next opponent. Who was Pac's next opponent? Margarito!!!!

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.

The point was that the numbers are public and it's no different from Showtime releasing ppv numbers. Cut the mythical creature bull**** and grow up.

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?

I'm not one of those who believe boxers are scared of each other so we can skip that right now..want the problem? The real problem? Richard Schaeffer. It's starts with him and ends with him..Arum, Duva, and Dibella can't all be the bad guys but funny they all say the same thing about bankerman Schaeffer who won't play ball with any other promoter.

Don't worry doe.
Floyd v Pac won't be happening anytime soon.
Pacman has to avenge his loses first and join TMT.
Floyd will fight Khan next. Easy fight, easy money.
Nothing to worry about.

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 oor what?

I was getting ready to say the same thing bro. Floyd isnt going around saying he WANTS to fight Manny. AT ALL! If anything hes asking ****** demands or excuses why it cant happen. Floyd is a coward. This is Boxing. Fight the man you ***ing puszy!

I think it's clear the problem is Arum not saying he's doing anything wrong but Floyd refuses to do business with him. What happen when Cotto left Arum he got the fight. Name another fighter under Arum that has got the fight? Mayweather for whatever reasons just does not want to put money in Arums pocket.

Pac got Tax problems and now.............the fans deserve the fight?
What about back in 2009? We didn't deserve it then?

Pac's tax problems got them desperate.
Floyd is laughing all the way to the bank.

When a man makes 80-100 million in his last fight..............trust me............he is not thinking about Bob Arum or Pac's tax problems lol

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.

You got a link to all those #'s?

Funny you disagree but then go and make my point for me...he left arum so he made the fight...why? Because Schaeffer will not do business with another promoter. Lou Dibella has plenty of fighters, so does Duva right...well when was the last time you saw their guys fighting GBP guys? But we've seen them fight top rank fighters,, same as k2, zanfer, and so forth..but again you say it's arum right? Well how come Arum has no problems making fights with other promoters? Explain that to me.....Floyd is under contract if the opponent makes no sense he ain't getting paid period cause it won't be aired so he's not truly picking his opponents as he wants..his money comes guaranteed from other people who need to make money too..and those people are? Haymon and Schaeffer.

This has never been about Floyd being scared of Manny because both sides no that is a farce it's about giant sized egoes that can't worked together nobody wants to be seen as giving up to much. There at a point now where it's one sided to maybe they can make a deal which I think will happen.
