Comments Thread For: Showtime Prez: Mayweather-Pacquiao, Not With Top Rank

[brick wall]

TAKE THE "LEAVE ARUM" TEST

[al-Xander]

Thurman or Lara would have been more interesting.
But they're too big and slick for Floyd da best.

If there were a slew of GBP/TR cross promotional fights happening then blaming Mayweather would be legit. However, since other fights hasn't happened because of the rivalry between the two companies you can't just blame him Right now there are two many factors preventing the fight from happening. As fans, we might as well move on. 2013 was a great year for boxing and it's funny, I don't remember Mayweather and Pacquiao fighting each other.

Showtime prez is obviously biased

He wants their prized fighter to look good as he still has 4 remaining fights on the contract. No one would pay to see a ducker

I thought Floyd was his own boss? He's not even tied to GBP

You're forgetting 1 thing. Floyd claims he isnt a GBP fighter and instead has a fight by fight business dealing with them. Floyd can easily say, I'm going solo on this one guys or use someone like Goosen like he did when he fought Baldomir.

Some food for thought...

Bernard Hopkins - "I hate Don King, I really hate the guy. So I just destroyed his last viable fighter and his last champion and brought the end to the Don King era".

[Pu·gi·list]

Since Floyd is his own promoter and boss, yes, yes Floyd is the issue. Nice try Espinoza but you fail.

Exactly

Showtime exec has been Floyd's nuthugger ever since he signed the contract and is biased

[al-Xander]

Floyd da best is considered a GBP fighter now.
I thought he's his own boss.

The Racket Squad: Floyd is now 'The Problem'.

Mayweather now wishes to turn the sport into a complete Monopoly?
Showtime seals the deal that never was?
They act as if Arum were Bin Laden.
Grow up.

Floyd's ducking dynasty could collapse in April when Manny dismantles Bradley.
Love him or leave him but Pac is still the fight being requested above ALL others.

But the fans will need to speak loudly with their hard earned cash and NOT participate in the Khan Job.

Boxing has always required it's biggest assets to step up to the plate in the name of the game.

But 'Money' is as 'Money' does and now he's the sports big problem, not it's highest earning Champion.

Barrera vs morales 3 was promoted by TR/GBP
