Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Slams MGM Grand, Mayweather, More

[Intelligent]

Arum is right and you are wrong!

When we bring up names where Floyd is not heavily favored, all I keep hearing from Floyd fans is that Floyd isn't obligated to fight anyone he doesn't want but now Floyd fans like you are trying to defend his latest cherry picked fights.

Guerrero was nowhere to be seen at 140 nor 147 until he fought Aydin but Guerrero looked very average in that fight. Guess what?
Aydin is now fighting at 140 not 147.
Berto? Anyone with a good punch can beat Berto because he has no defense. Who has he beat that makes you say what you said? All hype man, all hype!

Bradley: According to Floyd fans, being a top P4P fighter or holding a WW title is very meaningful because that is how Floyd's opponents are always marketed NOT by who they fought at WW
Discussing this topic like you did, Bradley beat the man that beat Maidana easily. If you forgot, his name is Devon Alexander. Bradley will be fighting Manny twice, Marquez and Abregu at WW . Not too shaby and has a very good JWW resume. If Floyd's opponents had that kind of resume, perhaps people would not be complaining the way they do

Canelo, Mosley, Marquez, Cotto, De La Hoya, Ortiz and now Miadana! The fact that you have a pick of Maidana punching A.B. and thought it was the best thing smoking once he loss...

Now that Floyd is fighting Maidana, Marcos is a bum? Was you on here calling Maidana a bum the night he beat Adrien? Yeah I thought so

Just like a pac-tard when Pac shyt isn't going well nobody cares about numbers! But when Floyd vs Guerrero supposedly flopped at (875,000) everybody was laughing and talking smack.

The phucked up thing is that Floyd vs Rob PPV out sold Pac/Rios and Bradley/Marquez combined. Shall I bring up Floyd vs Canelo numbers?

Yeah at the end of the day Floyd is #1 haters hate but they still watch... When you are great people will pay and watch. If they Love or hate you they will watch haha

Hate, hater, haterzzzz etc.

Well he's had more than 2 fights at Welterweight for a start, against better opponents than Aydin and Berto. No, I don't think Bradley beat Pacquiao, but rightly or wrongly you know he's currently sitting PFP #3 on most lists? Guerrero is nowhere to be seen, a ghost if you like.

Marquez was stepping up two weight classes, but it's not accurate to measure against just one opponent, you have to look at their whole careers. Both great fighters imo, I have them roughly equal.

Cotto was 145lbs for Pacquiao iirc, not 143lbs.

When Bradley first fought Pacquaio, who did he really defeat at 147 lbs to earn the shot?

Keep in mind that Bradley also turned down a Guerrero fight after beating/losing to Manny Pacquaio. That's a fact. Just like it's a fact that Guerrero turned down a fight to face Thurman after losing to Mayweather.

Andre Berto (Robert Guerrero) and Adrien Broner (Maidana) are gatekeepers to Floyd fights. If you beat them, you get Floyd fights. Just say that to yourself and then try to tell yourself the same thing that those guys are worthy opponents

So I guess that means Canelo Alvarez, Miguel Cotto, and Shane Mosley are gatekeepers to get the fight too?

Arum should fire whoever was responsible for not taking care of this.
