It seems that arum is happy to have his fighters fight less competitive fights and fight other top rank opponents so whoever wins, he does.

    to be fair to floyd he would IMO make any fight he never dodged anyone on the way up. the fight would be made if Arum would let Mayweather promote the fight, that i believe is the main stumbling block
    Hmm but Floyd wasn't looking to promote the fight in 09, so why now? And yup u said it, Floyd could make any fight.

          Just to make this interesting and different, I would blame the fans, we kept on buying fights that are not PPV worthy. If we want pac vs mayweather; then, stop supporting both of them for a couple of fights (just use streaming for a while); now, this are bright people and will very soon realize they won't earn enough money --if they won't give what fans wants. (fights that really mattered most, and not some sideshows or mismatches that is just built up to keep our hopes up and steal quick bucks from us fans.)

          Now hopefully, upon realizing that this is the only way to get back the enthusiasm of fans in boxing; --boxing in general would probably change the whole system and revert back to the old days; -- when the priority is to make the best of the best fights (or match-ups that are really compelling) in order to get the tremendous amount of money back from fans. Should this happen, then, everyone wins, boxing especially will be at its pinnacle in no time, once again!

          Sounds easy but it's not, but we can do this; and, it starts on individuals. We have the power, -- because we made them the fighter/promoter who they are now.

              Both May and Pac seem fine with not fighting each other and neither seem in a rush to make this fight. due to Pacs recent Monetary issues and his lack of PPV draw you would imagine he probably needs this fight more.

              Shane Moseley really wanted the floyd fight so much so he entered the ring after the JMM fight to stir up so hype and intrest, i believe the fight would not of happened if Shane didnt do that. after maragarito he was avoided for 12 months, Pacqiuao had a chance to fight him, am while im sure he would of done, his camp/promotors refused to make the fight even with an 80/20 split in pacs favour. Until floyd eventually fought him Shane was being avoided despite how vocal he was about wanting to fight everyone!

              my question is this, if Pac really, really wants this fight should he drop his nice guy persona and enter the ring after floyds next fight to stir up some intrest? frankly i think the may vs pac buzz has died down a lot. infact i think there is more competitive and bigger fights out for floyd, maybe less so for pacqiuao.

              like with Ali vs Liston, Leornard vs Haggler and with Shane vs Floyd, sometimes to create a fight the challenger/ underdog has to do a lot of work to make it happen, so is it floyd or mannys responsibility to make it happen??.

              In my opinion its Pacs, he is less of a draw, is lower P4P and arguably needs this fight more.
              Mayweather, he is his own boss, has far more flexibility business wise. But i don't think he wants it.
