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

[Sugar Q]

I am the only one who is sick of **tards/diots defending these blood sucking promoters? For the record I've always been a bigger fan of Floyd but I love the skills of both and by the day respect the humility of Manny more! How can guys defend these leeches on both sides? ...... Floyds record is tainted without Manny - to make a case otherwise is blind ignorance! In days gone by these ATGs would have fought at least 3 times and we are reduced to bs pseudo arguments. It is an embarrassment that Khan is even mentioned as a possible opponent for Floyd!

Floyd will probably go down in history as most intelligent fighter of all!!! People kill me trying to play both sides as if Floyd didn't do EVERYTHING including calling Pacquaio personally to make the fight happen. IT TAKES 2!!!! If Floyd would've made excuses regarding drug testing his career would've been over but Manny has been allowed too. Manny has not been the same since Floyd put the focus on PEDs and then you have Manny's trainer basically come out backing it up but idiots still say it's Floyd that didn't want this fight. On the behalf of Floyd "**** ALL YOU PARTARDIAN DUMBASSES!!!! Last night was about what Bradley's not not what Pacquaio is and if you take your mouth off his tiny nuts you will see that last night was his worst performance probably of all. Canelo, The Ghost or Thurman would've kicked both of their asses last night let lone The Great Floyd Mayweather Jr.

All i'll say is check out this man's resume..you don't have to like him, don't have to agree with him but his resume demands and should be respected. He's been part of the careers of at the very least 4 of the top 10 fighters in the last 50 years...even Oscar who has every reason in the world to dislike this man shows his respect..

Why do people act like it is only Floyds fault the fight didn't get made
Floyd offered Pacquiao 1 50/50 split and all he had to do is take the same kind of test Floyd was willing to take.

Arum is the only reason why this fight didn't get made
He gets to put out the bs PPV's with no under card support, and the fans should boycott a card that whose 3 main fights could have got their on dates on TV.
Everythng you mentioned was a decision Pacquiao could have made but instead he left it to Arum. Pacquiao should have been his own man a long time ago like Floyd, Oscar, and Cotto. Floyd fought those 2 guys without a problem. Pacquiao couldn't even call Floyd out after the fight he has to let his promoter do it.

If anything we should boycott Toprank and HBO.

This fight doesn't really do anything for Floyd at this point anyway if he beats Pacquiao people will just say he was past his prime.

I always watch body language because it says a lot about a person and Manny is always extremely uncomfortable when Floyd's name is brought up also if you look at the post fight interview with Roach he didn't wanna mention Floyd's name either which leads me to believe that Arum isn't the only one that wants no part of Floyd. Manny didn't wanna fight Bradley again so what makes anyone think he really wants to get in the ring with Floyd, Floyd will and always would destroy Manny!!! Case will be closed when Manny resigns with Arum again.

Dude, these Pac freaks on here don't care about facts. Last night was a complete rude awakening to these clowns that the last 5-6yrs of their pathetic, ****ty lives have been a total waste of time. All they have to hang their hat on is that "Floyd ducked Manny when Manny was in his prime." The only silverlining in all this is that in 5-10yrs, Arum will be dead, Floyd and Manny will be old and outta the sport, and most of these freaks that infest these message boards will have returned to follow WWE, NASCAR, or whatever other sideshow carnaval act that gains their interest.

You care entirelyyyyyyy too much about what fans of another man say or think..you like Floyd, you think he's TBE then care about that only...I felt about Roy Jones like many of ya'll feel about Floyd...that too will come to pass and another man will rise in their place. It's boxing bro...the end of the road is near for both...let's just be happy we had two quality warriors in our generation that helped us survive the death of the HW division.

I'm a big fan of Pac's and I think he has earned and Floyd fight and deserves a Floyd fight and the public would like closure. However, my pick of Floyd has widened. At one point I saw the fight 116 to 114 but after last night, I see 118 to 110 for Floyd. Pac was having difficulty connecting when Bradley was there to be hit. Think about it this way, Floyd's style is built for greater longevity. But aside from that, both in their prime it would have been a scintillating fight with Floyd clearly winning. Now, the fight has no more appeal. I did not see the old Pac last night, I saw an old Pac.

So has Don King but does that mean they're not ****ed up individuals, they shouldn't be sued, they're good for boxing? Boxing will be better off without Bob Arum!!!! GB is killing it right now. HBO was the boxing mecca but Showtime has taken over. It's called evolution.

I agree that over the last several years. Team Pacqauiao has been a lot more interested in beating Floyd in the PR war than they have been in beating him in the boxing ring. And judging by the level of idiot f.ucktards that infest sites like this one, they been very successful in doing so. That said, I think now they genuinely want the fight to happen. Arum knows if floyd-pac doesn't happen in Sept, it will eventually happen without his hands in the pot. Roach is a total attention whore that knows his days as a celevrity trainer are done the second Manny is no longer relevant. Win or lose, he wants to exit the bigtime with a ****. Not to mention a nice paycheck. And Manny also knows, propbably better than anybody that his days are numbered as "Manny Pacquiao." His performances and his drawing power are declining. He's in tax trouble here. I'm pretty sure he'd fight floyd for damn near whatever. All he wants is to clear his tax debt here and then go back over to that ****ty country he calls home and become a crooked politician and live like a king robbing the poor people blind.

[GRUSTLER]

Arum is a wild ol coot. He is basically asking people not to support/buy the Mayweather/Maidana fight using the that is the only way to make the Pacquiao fight happen angle. Then he says he is waiting for the winner of Marquez/Alvarado before picking Pacquiao's next opponent? Yet Pacquiao fans will still blame Mayweather.

Yes Don King has but anyone who has been a fan of boxing longer than 20 years knows how King did his..via insane contracts which is not the case here and how many of those fights that King made had Arum behind them..a shhhh ton. I'll put it this way "Rumble in the jungle" would've not have been Rumble in the jungle without Bob Arum on a number of levels..it's well documented. Yes we evolve and rightfully so after all Arum is 82 and on his way out of the game. Yet let's not act like the last 5 years are the definition of what arum has contributed to this sport. GBP themselves has taken the TR blueprint and improved on it..which they've admitted. There is a reason Oscar has the respect he does for arum.
