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

[maguirre]

Floyd's self appointed negotiators are all over the place. All with one goal in mind - block the fight from happening. Incredible! Fear is widespread in the Floyd fanboy community.

Read their posts. Nothing in them indicates they want the fight. Incredible! I've never seen anything like it!

Exactly right.

And Austin Trout isn't with GBP either but he has a fight with Lara this weekend. Jean Pascal and Tavoris Cloud weren't Golden Boy fighters yet they got bouts with B-Hop. There are plenty of other examples.

Canelo Alvarez pushed for that fight bro...GBP did not want that fight. Trout is on record saying they did not want the fight and tried to get it stopped. Bhop is part owner of GBP fighting Don King fighters because he hates Don King...

You don't have a clue what you are talking about. Regardless of what the FCC may or may not get, only the PPV network involved gets the PPV numbers. They give them to the promoters, who determines whether the network can release them to the public. The only numbers that any journalist has released about Pacquaio's last six fights have come directly from Bob Arum, not the network and Bob Arum has a history of lying about the numbers.

In terms of numbers, Pacquaio hasn't sold 1 million PPVs since the Margarito fight, which incidentally was the last fight that Arum allowed Pac's PPV numbers to be released.

The guaranteed money is listed in the contracts that the promoter provides to the state athletic commission. The state athletic commission makes the salary figures available to the public/journalists. In foreign countries, the boxing commission is not obligated to release the salaries to the public. The only salary information for the Pacquiao/Rios fight came from Bob Arum, who has history of lying. In Pacquaio's last six fights, the guarantee listed on the contract given to the boxing commission ranged from $5.9 million to $6.5 million.. Arum can throw out any number he wants, but these are the numbers listed on the contracts.

Look Who Says Someone Don't Have a Clue???

Who the hell wants to sit around and wait on Floyd to drop a pair of nuts out of his vagina?
Did you not hear Floyd say that Manny must drop out of his contract with TR or resign with TMT. Fight a few fights with TMT (get older) then MAYBE we can talk! WTF does that tell you????? Please id like to know?

Can you please post where Floyd said that I honestly would like to see that?

Ortiz vs Berto 2011, Judah vs Matthyse 2010, Lamont Peterson fought both Ortiz and Khan in 2010 & 2011 and he wasn't signed to Golden Boy. Adrien broner fought Demarco in 2012 who is a Gary Shaw fighter need i go on.

Now what do those fights have in common? They paid the promoters of those fighters to step aside..here's a quote "I stepped aside so they could make the fight" - Lou Dibella. They will not work with another promoter and I stand by that. Paying a promoter a fee to make a boxer a free agent for one bout isn't the same as sitting down with a promoter and negotiating a bout because they are instead negotiating with the fighter...so again how does that equate to working with other promoters?

It tells me that dumbasses like you are Arum's target audience. And he knows a fight against a ****ty opponent and chirping Floyd's name sucks you in and guarantees that he can sell Pac's fight, against someone in the TR stable.

I don't know what i'm talking about but you just said the fcc may or may not get them..so make up your mind. Let's see the federal body that oversees everything transmitting on air or the word of a promoter or fan? Hmmmm I will take the FCC numbers over your "facts".

The contracts are the contracts and the journalists report on those contracts as they are filed and they are officiated..nuff said. Money isn't something I give a flying fk about when it comes to boxing nor are ppv numbers for that matter but you folks act like it's the end all be all and innapropriately state a boxers hasn't done this or that without actual facts.




I like Floyd but that's a cop out in my book...you are facing the fighter not the promoter. I don't like certain rappers but they got money and I have beats for them...that's the real world.

I don't know what the FCC gets and I don't care. I haven't read a single article where it said the FCC released PPV numbers on a boxing match that was fought on HBO or Showtime, so if you have a link from the FCC where it states what Paquaio's PPV numbers were or anyone else's , please give it to me. Otherwise, I will simply count you as one of the dinwits who chooses to believe that Pacquaio is perfect, loved by everyone and walks on water and can do no wrong while Floyd is the devil himself.

Canelo Alvarez pushed for that fight bro...GBP did not want that fight. Trout is on record saying they did not want the fight and tried to get it stopped. Bhop is part owner of GBP fighting Don King fighters because he hates Don King...

Come on B-Hop owns all of 5-6% of GBP just say you was wrong.
