Comments Thread For: Schaefer Lashes Out At Arum Over Mayweather-Pacquiao

[PunchyPotorff]

Arum's mouth says Floyd when its casual talk but when serious fight plans come up its always "Bradley or Marquez is next". Even after Pac's win when asked, Floyd did not come out of his mouth whatsoever, it was "uhhhmm let me ask promoters and we see what next". Arum is so full of ****. I wish Pac would leave TR and you would see how fast the Pac/Floyd fight was made (see Cotto). Arum never wanted it and never will want it. So Roach can talk all he wants about how Pac will now beat Floyd for sure after that Rios win....seriously lol? Does Roach believe his own BS? I really wonder. They brought in a guy who literally was tailor made for them and they still could not even discourage, hurt, drop or stop the guy. Even after you could tell Pac was not pleased with his performance. He still got hit more than he should of and this was against a guy who doesn't have 1/4th the speed or skill/technique Floyd does. Man please lol.

So Floydie's fights aren't taylor made for him? HA! You're just another ignorant Floydie fanboy. Arum isn't the problem making the fight. Floydie is chicken. THAT is the problem. But you already know that and just won't admit it. Get a life.

Pacquiao has his OWN name... they don't need Mayweather's name. manny just finished a fight. He's entitled to make plans for April; why not. But this is how Mayweather & Co operate. They know Manny isnt' leaving Top Rank any time soon for being in contract with them. Floyd uses that for his excuse not to fight Manny... like it's a business decision that doesn't make sense. Yet he doesn't have a problem fighting Khan, or Alexander, or Canelo, or Guerrero for safe trips to the bank. Manny has waited 5 years and Schaefer & Floyd spew the **** out of their mouth in storylines and excuses.

You must be in denial like the other guy said Ariza even said it...all these bs fighters he fight he's fought 2 black guys 1 African and bradly who he lost to I think is was closer and possibly draw. He hasn't ko anyone since allegations he's a fraud abs him and arum know he can't beat floyd. If his name is so big he should of did what cotto did leave arum make fight them comeback and if he was so big why he do 400,00 floyd did double that with Guerrero ...you smoking crack or in denial

Anyone with half a braincell can see this is damage control in making Floyd vs khan, Richard getting his excuses in early to limit the abuse they get.

Amazing how Richard called industry sources bs when they leaked Floyd vs guerrero did like 700k buys which was shown to be true by legit boxing sources but us now referring to them to Suit needs

Which legitimate boxing sources are you talking about? Fat Dan Rafael got his info from anonymous sources. Anonymous sources are not legitimate sources. For all we know he made those numbers up (because believe it or not, journalists do this when quoting anonymous sources) or he could have gotten the numbers from Bob Arum, who obviously has bias against Mayweather. So please tell us which legitimate boxing sources provided these numbers.

Is it still boxing??

Where is the old boxing now? Can we just get these two to duke it out? It's all about business now. The commissioner should make this a mandatory fight. The two greatest boxers in our era won't fight because of all the business side of it. All we have is our opinion on who's better. For the future it's going to be the same arguments as who is better Jordan or Kobe! Come on let's make this happen!!!!

Floyd duck PAC man when he gave him glove size ring size 10 mil per lb over and this dummy wanted ti debate cut off date and ain't ko anyone sense wake up look at the real and stop sniffing Pacs you know what are you brain dead. The fight us over rated anyway he's a fraud not even in Floyd's level he fight slow tree stumps

So it should be an easy fight for Floyd then. Why not take the fight and make a lot more money than Carnelo-Floyd fight?

It's hard to disagree with anything Schaefer said.
Well except about the TMT gear selling.

But the dude is right. Mayweather is the A side of the equation.
Pacquiao's PPV numbers have been going down.
Top Rank has put out ****ty undercards,
and the business of boxing will always do better in the US.

I particularly liked how he called out Arum on his bull**** about wanting the fight, saying if he wanted the fight so bad, why is it he already has a date venue and 3 opponents (none named Mayweather) lined up for Pacquiao?

[Rocky777]

Everything Schaefer said was pure fact except for one thing, I don't see people wearing TMT apparel. Like zero. I see some people wearing Pacquiao gear (albeit it's Nike) whenever I go to the gym. Hell, I've seen one person wearing a Canelo shirt. But TMT? The only people I see wearing their stuff is Floyd's people.

As well as the blue print for Nonito vs. Mares? The fight didn't happen so....

I don't recall Schaefer saying Pac had to leave TR. He simply said they don't wanna do a joint promotion and are willing to pay Arum to stay away. How is that an excusee? Are you saying that its mandatory for Arum to have his face all over the promotion for Pac to fight?

And this is exactly what P@ct@rds resort to when Pac and his crew's bull**** are brought to light and when they have the ball placed in their court.

That fight didn't happen because Bob didn't want to negotiate it. GBP offered 3 million for the fight. The most over offered for a two fighters at that weight, and Arum didn't want to negotiate it.
Arum is a prick, do you really wonder why Nonito tried to leave him for Golden Boy a while back?
