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

[hitking]

Showtime Prez is being fooled by Mayweather. He thinks that's all it takes. How about he convinces Mayweather to go into surgery and get some balls implanted. That'll help move negotiations to possibly the next step.

Again. Why would the Showtime president help Floyd duck Pac? Which in turn would cost Showtime a ridiculous amount of money. I think a lotta ya'll Floyd haters give Floyd credit for being a lot smarter than he is.

Make that a double ball implantment, for pacquiao too so he can for once say

Arum, im tired of fighting the same guys over and over, and stop lining up opponents before i even win

Bottom line is manny needs floyd more than floyd needs manny who do u guys think will get more ppv buys floyd vs khan/maidana or pacquiao vs bradley 2

I think they'll do similar numbers. I don't think Floyd would do a million with Khan. He may do a million with Chino. But it would be barely. Bbradley did excellent numbers with JMM. And Pac is rapidly gaining back the Please Kick Floyd's Ass fan club. So I think 800k would be realistic for tha show.

That's what I've been saying. Showtime wants Pac, but Floyd is doing everything to block the fight.

LMAO, Floyd does 650 tops with either guy and Showtime loses money. The only viable option is Pac.....the writing is on the wall, time to man up Floyd. I know you read these boards, the numbers won't be there and your rep will forever be rubbish...people are tired of the ducking, man up or retire.

JMM, Mosley and Bradley had to leave their promoters to get a Pacquiao fight. People seem to forget.

here's the man putting up the biggest chunk of the money for TMT/GBP fights and he's stating no to the fight with Arum involved yet folks on here say still say Floyd is ducking/ making excuses. This article proves that TR/Arum is/are the roadblock.
You can try and call BS or somehow justify blaming Floyd in your mind all you want but the SOB paying Floyd 250 million for 6 fights is now on the record saying with Arum there will be no fight. Without Arum there will be a fight.

There is nothing else to say about this fight until Manny's contract is up in 2014. If he resigns then he is the one ducking. If he does not then there is no reason why this fight cannot be made. After this fight, Manny can do as he pleases.

Should they fight and Manny wins then he will be the shot caller in a rematch. He can say no SHO or GBP. As long as Floyd is the draw, SHO is in the drivers seat.

Take it or leave it

It's not that they forget, its that they feel TR can but TMT can't. It's a double standard but you can't tell them S*it.

And we have new Excuses !!!!!!!

Showtime PREZ is scared Pac will destroy their cash cow,,,,,MOOOOOO mooooooooo

This blows me away,,,,, Jr is definitely the biggest COWARD in big time boxing I have ever KNOWN !!!!!!!

Poor Showtime. $250 million for five fights. And Floyd still gets to dictate who he fights. Then they have to support him with expensive undercards on Mexican holidays. I don't think these people are even breaking even. Look at the frequency of their fights on regular subscription. They don't make many. HBO beat them with their weekly fights for the last two months. I've never seen anything like it.
