Comments Thread For: Arum Pleads For Boycott, To Make Mayweather-Pacquiao

[Rapid8Fire]

Pacquaio looked slow and lethargic and at this point I dont think he would last against Mayweather. Manny you may want to consider retirement.

When the JMM-Alvarado fight was announced. It was announced as the winner will be the mandatory to the Pac-Bradley winner.

That's even worst. Fight didn't even start and Pacquiao already got his mandatory. Instead of boycotting. Everyone should just tell Arum how full of crap he is.

[WESS]

Did arum even talk about his fight, or just cry about Floyd all weekend?

He's mad because Mayweather's fight will outsell his PPV once again. He built the Pac Bradley fight bigger than it really was by forcing a rematch (due to the outcome of the first fight) and probably make a 3rd fight.

Everyone said Pac won the first one but Bob wants rematches. Anything to keep Pac from Mayweather because his hype is built on beating him. Once that is proven false nobody will give a **** and search for someone else who is supposed to beat Floyd.

Ironically they will all be in the middle weight or super middle weight divisions. lol

Nah. PAC is past prime. The coward would win.

Floyd is 37 two years older then Pac. So come again ?

I agree and I think that is one of the reasons that Floyd didn't want the fight. With Pacs activity in 09-2011 it may have been a close fight and often times those swing rounds go to the more active guy. Floyd has amazing defense and is incredibly accurate, but Pac would have had those flurries every round and the crowd would have gone insane. Plus in a close fight I think the judges would rather rob Floyd than Manny. Just my opinion though.
Now it would be a much different fight, Manny doesn't bring nearly as much activity and Floyd is a bigger guy. I think Floyd dominates this version of Pac pretty easily.

I think Floyd wins today. If or when they meet in the ring, I think Floyd will play it safe for the first half of the fight and give rounds away. Pac's quick flurries will make him wait it out. Floyd is just too safe and judges won't like that, but I think he'll still win by split decision. Would've been a much better fight 3-4 yrs ago.

Bob arum aint gonna do JACK ****. Bob was supposed to build an outdoor stadium. Bob was supposed to launch a full investigation into the first bradley/pac robbery. LOL this senile old man.

Same old story for the fantasy fans. Same fans who celebrate in the streets when Money Mayweather gets more than 1 million PPV. For some strange reason, they don't want an easy fight, easy money. Hehe...

I'm just hoping this kind of fanbase would disappear from the face of the earth. hehe...

[ShoulderRoll]

Did you guys notice that Arum wants Floyd to come to the table with no preconditions? As if both fighters are equals in negotiating power and drawing ability. This kind of bullshit is exactly why the fight has never happened.

I'm so glad that reporter brought up Provodnikov/Algieri and called Bob out on his hypocrisy. Does anybody know who the reporter was? Dude was gutsy, objective and knew his stuff like a real boxing journalist is supposed to.

Age is only one factor. The number of fights, wars and simply his slugger style puts Pacquiao at a disadvantage after 30. History proves that the defensive boxer will always have a longer and more productive career than a slugger.

Manny has always had problems with boxers. You give Manny too much credit with Mayweather. None of the odds ever believed Manny wins and basically the fight would not be competitive because Manny can't dodge counter right hands.
