Comments Thread For: Mayweather: In My Life, I'll Never Do Business With Arum!

[hitking]

I say Broner should take a year off, get all that new money shh out of his system and then focus on the sport. He's not talented enough to not eat, sleep and shhhit boxing and be successful. I produce music for a living, I know how hard that life and how a mofo can go from looking and feeling 25, to looking and feeling 40 in as little as two years in the business.

I think AB should take Floyd's advice and take his ass down to 40, or eben 35 and fight on Floyd's May undercard. Peterson would be perfect. Not a huge puncher, not elite skills, and has a belt. Plus, AB doesn't have to sell the show. He can simply win a "title" in his fourth division somewhat away from the spotlight. Then he can simply excuse Maidana as being too big and go on about his business and make the best outta whatever's left of his career.

well your actually wrong, he retired when the media was trying to force him to fight Cotto. points for trying.

Actually you are wrong too...it wasn't cotto it was Paul Williams who was the mandatory.

I don’t know that a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight can happen if Pacquiao doesn’t start putting up the solid PPV numbers that Hershman is talking about. He can’t expect to get a fight against Mayweather with him doing poor PPV numbers like in his last fight. Additionally, Pacquiao has lost 2 out of his last 3 fights, and didn’t stop his losing streak until his promoter Bob Arum matched him up against a down in his luck former lightweight in Rios. Let’s be real about this; Rios lost his last fight before the Pacquiao fight, and really you can say that Rios was also soundly beaten by Richard Abril last year. That was the fight that Rios was given a controversial victory in a fight where he appeared to lost 10 of the 12 rounds against Abril. Pacquiao needs to prove that he can beat an actual welterweight, and not someone that was pooled up the lightweight division to make him look good.

@ hit king 'can you read in between the lines . He retired early cause he would have lost to Mosley cotto marigirito and even Williams . The divisions is to hot I retire .fast forward the division cooled down I'm Back . Wait a min pac is to good I might loss. He's on Steriods /I need more money/ I'm not working with Bob Arum . Excuse s this time not retirement . His O means sh** to me . Defend all you want Pac man will fight any one bigger even if they knocked him out cold . Thats what fighters do not worry about a O

OK you right.

Actually all ya'll wrong because Paul Williams had got his ass kicked by Quintana, won the rematcj, and took his ass up to 54 to fight Verno Phillips. Cotto was about to fight Mararito. And Mosley had a headache.

I'm going to say this, the first thing I do is sit down an artist and ask them if they are sure they want the musician life..there's a reason that kid from Houston stabbed himself in the eye..everyone ain't built for that life. I can say about 90% of rappers have an alcohol addiction problem, and close to 50% have additional substance issues. It doesn't bode well for AB to be in that busienss considering he's coming into it with millions already in his pockets. If folks think the King, Arum, and Schaeffer's are bad...music has a million version of those guys. You can't be an athlete sitting on a bus 10 to 12 hours a day getting twisted and ****ing groupies. It's a recipe for disaster. Moving down isn't going to help, he's too in love with the music side of it..because he's the only attraction on the stage and in boxing he's only half of the equation. Until he grows out of that he will have issues at any weight.

Pacquiao is a true warrior and I'll never question his desire to fight anyone. He's also 10x the person Mayweather can ever dream of being. I do think though that he does deserve some blame as he is the one that keeps signing up with Arum.

The accounting group that Pacquiao hired to see what was up in his finances discovered serious discrepancies but Pacquiao, as promoted by Arum, cut ties with them before they could dig any further. Couple years later, Pacquiao has over $50 million in taxes due to the IRS and Philippines.

ok 10x the man Floyd could be. ok are we taking 'bout womanizer pac who constantly cheated on his wife, had a bad ******** habit then start to preach the word of jesus from a podium with a picture of himself as if he were jesus behind him. also forcing his team to follow him or they would fired. yup role model he is.

im not trying to be funny but you have a skewed view of what a real man is.

[Pacquiao'd]

But he has no problem when he fought Marquez and Cotto both under Top Rank.

neither were with arum, genius

well not to correct you again because i hate the back and forth, but your wrong, i didnt say Cotto was his mandatory nor did i mention a sanctioning body i said the media was trying to push a Cotto fight.
