Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: If Mayweather Wants The Fight, It's On!

Yeah I understand what Arum said, but that wasn't my point. I'm saying, people who say Pac can just leave arum for one fight BEFORE his contract is up. That is unrealistic and Arum would probably sue the **** out of him.

Pac won't leave until the end of the year when his contract expires. Meaning his next fight won't be vs Floyd because Bob has him for one more fight. Roach already confirmed Mayweather is not next and IF Bob does look to make it, it won't be until Pac's last fight. Thats assuming Pac stays with Bob.

Well i guess this nonsense will continue on. Flameons legion of doom are in full attack mode justifying not to let the fight happen. I tried but they just too dang headstrong and ******, bad combo. Let my bashing begins in 4, 3, 2,

Yeah, the line is open. But, why should he be the one to call you? If I'm not mistaken, he did called you one time. Maybe this time, you should take the initiative and call him especially since you're clearly the B-side. When you need a loan, the bank doesn't come to you, you go to the bank.

A few months ago, Manny was ready to go meet with Floyd. Floyd said that he was not interested in Manny ..... so in summary, the initiative was there but Floyd, like usual, and in so many different ways, has told us that he was never really interested in fighting Manny. Floyd said it in 2010 then again 2013/2014

If you want to see the fight, send Manny a text, tweet, email or whatever and tell him 40 mil guaranteed is more than 20 mil.

Obviously Pac's market price has fallen since, but even now 40m flat is a mediocre deal for a fight that big, given Arum's 27% or whatever. Any deal without PPV upside is just obstructionism

Yet in the same breath we have reports that you are on the verge of signing a 2 year contract with Top Rank

True, because, in Pacquaio's mind, a $6 million guarantee is more than a $40 million guarantee.

We will never know what Pac could have gotten because, just as he did in 2012, Bob Arum will refuse to sit down to Haymon and Schafer to negotiate a fight.

Selective memory seems to be a common disease among Pac worshippers.

What was he gonna negotiate, how to get cut out of the promotion? That's why Floyd called Pac directly with a flat fee offer.

Please explain how he can just "leave Arum out of this one fight", when he's UNDER CONTRACT with TR/Arum?

Now if he doesn't extend, then he's a free agent, but I keep hearing this over and over again "just leave arum". The guy is under contract. Do any of you know what that means?????????

You just contradicted yourself. You say he can't leave arum out. But say if he doesn't extend then he can. Umm what? His contrac is up. It's either stay with top rank until 2020 or be a free agent like cotto
