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

[hitking]

This S### is about Arum and Schaefer and WE the fans are being robbed by their bickering like school children over the swing.

All Arum has to do is sit back, STFU, and collect his check. All he cares about is the fight getting done right.

Wow. Schafer just said everything I have said over the last week:

1.Arum is trying to promote Pacquaio's next fight by claiming he wants to make a fight with Mayweather.

2. The numbers for Pacquaio/Rios were closer to 300,000 instead of 500,000 as Arum claimed. And Pacquaio's last five PPVs have done poorly in terms of sales.

3. If Arum truly wanted to make a Mayweather/Pacquaio fight, he would call Schafer instead of waiting on Schafer to call him.

4. Mayweather and Arum are not friends in any shape, form or fashion.

I am sure there will be at least 200 posts from Pacquaio fans already this page dis*****g everything Schafer said based, not on facts but, on the word of Bob Arum and their gullible worship of Pacquaio, who in their eyes is always right.

Without a doubt.

Great EXCUSE for OUR HERO, to PUNK OUT, and It's Working...

which is about 300-500k more than that POS pak-rios fight. floyd should give pak what he deserves, a 40 million dollar flat flee.

300k more is not the same as 1.7 million. And he offered PAC $40 mill flat before the loses to Tim and JMM didn't he??? Well two loses later, I think Floyd offeres $20 flat and say take it or leave it.

Welp..that's the end of that. Richard taking this to the press pretty much ends any comity between TR and GBP when it comes to the bout.

It doesn't have to be like that though. All Arum has to do is come out and be the bigger man. I mean, under Floyd's terms, all Arum loses is his face out front of the promotion. But that shouldn't be an issue because its about his fighter. Arum should simply come out and say OK fine, ya'll can lead the promotion, let's get it done. But predictably, Arum will use this is an out. Come with a profanity laced response. Claim this is proof Floyd's scared. And announce that Pac will be either rematching Bradley or fighting Provodnikov on Apr 12.

And if that's the case, Schaefer has left the door wide open for Pac and crew to call his bluff. All Arum and Pac have to do is come out and say, "fine, we don't care who leads the press tours, who's posters are bigger, or who's name is first on the marquee. We just wanna fight."

That's it then. This fight will never happen. Only Floyd fans are happy.
