Comments Thread For: This just in, Arum’s Mayweather tirades are getting old

[Zen_Fighter]

Sad thing is. This guy probably actually thinks this is an accurate and logical post. Mostly because of the smokescreens and lies Arum has been putting out the last 4-5yrs.

Do you believe that fans want to see them fight? What benefit would it be to the promoters for the fight not to happen? I don't listen to what the promoters say about fights. I believe Manny wants the fight. I am not convinced Floyd wants the fight. Why? I have no idea. I do like Manny Pacquaio. But that is not a reason I am taking issue with the article. Floyd and Manny should fight. Manny without a shadow of doubt has angled for a Floyd fight. Does anyone disagree? I don't know what the negotiations have been. I do get the impression Floyd has expected to dominate the negotiations and saying you do this or give me this or there is no fight. That is not a negotiation. Did Floyd say do this testing or no fight? Did Floyd say I get 100% of pay per view? Did he demand more than 50/50 split on the purse? If so, Floyd, this one is on you. Granted I don't know everything that has been said. I believe what Manny says. Floyd, ehhhh... I don't trust the guy. This doesn't make me a "*******" or a Mayweather hater.
As a fight fan.... fighters come and go... but I will be here... I want to see this fight. I am tired of the the self proclaimed greatest boxer of all time avoid another great fighter. Now way in the world Ortiz, Cotto, Guerrero, Judah, Maidana, Mosley, or Khan deserve a shot at Floyd more than Manny Pacquiao. No way. People are delusional to believe otherwise!

Finally.someone.speaks.truth great article. Some delusional.people.in the world Canelo in his prime undefeated better than anhone Manny ever fought, Cotto at his real weight, not a catch weight. I seen someone post Manny is real P4P, WELL P4P DONT.GET KOED BY 1.PUNCH

Let's think about it^
1. Floyd fought old lazy fat Cotto, after Pac has beaten the **** out of him.
2. Floyd fought green young Canelo, who hardly make 154, and who had to make 152.
3. Floyd took Salido's leftover in Guerrero.
4. Floyd fought Ortiz, who did nothing in boxing.
5. Floyd fought old slow Mosley in 2010, 1.5 years after his previous fight.

Floyd ducked Kasamayor
Floyd ducked younger Mosley in 2007
Floyd ducked Wright
Floyd ducked Margarito

Floyd is ducking Pac for 5 years

How such coward could be among the greatest boxers of all time? L***1077;onard fought everyone. Ali fought everyone. Whitaker fought everyone. etc. etc.

Get Off Arum's Back; Being Calm & Professional Has Accomplished Nothing

Arum is just as frustrated as the World of Boxing is, for why Floyd Mayweather Junior has ducked Manny Pacquiao for more than five years. Period. Floyd has made it confrontational & personal by demanding Pacquiao leave Bob Arum then they'll fight... Which us all BS. So why shouldn't Arum snap. Arum has been calmer, professional, flexible, and it's gotten he and Pac nowhere to fighting Floyd. In the meantime Floyd, has played all these games, just as Arum accurately described a few years ago: "once you agree to a Mayweather demand, then there's another demand, and then another, and it's never ending, so why bother"? Nobody wants to hear Arum rage. Arum doesn't want to rage. Not raging, being pleasant hasn't accomplished anything with Floyd. So Arum loses nothing getting pissed off. The world of Boxing feels the same way, overly frustrated with Floyd's ducking of Pacquiao. He's had 5 years to make a fight. He made Mosley & Cotto wait more than 10 years for them being too dangerous in their prime. This isn't Arums problem, this is about the Weasel Mayweather.

Really Mosley turned down Floyd Twice, oh my tooth aches
Floyd was a small welter and new to division Wright wadnt on radar
Margarito was a bum
Cassmayor wamted no parts of Mayweather stop making up stuff

Fact manny beat everyone on catchweight
Beat an old drained Oscar, Cotto at catchweight
Beat.Margarito who was shop worn and deystroyed by the same Mosley Floyd shut.down
Manny has 5 losses and been koed 2.times
Has never fought a non top rank fighter
Turned down 40.million cash in a direct.phone call.from Floyd
Has no kos without Ariza ( cough Juice, cough special drink)
Scared of needles.but.loves Tatooes
Now he is ok with needles and will fight Floyd for free, forget 40.millon...ok liar

[SeekDaGreat]

None of those fights were on PPV, thats the whole point

And none of the undercard on May 3rd are anywhere near as competitive as the card on Pac-Bradley 2

Don't take my word for it, just look up the odds for the fights. These guys are experts when it comes to seeing missmatches and they have 2 different fights where the favorite is greater than a 10-1 which is a disgrace on PPV.

No one on the Pac undercard was greater than a 3 to 1

Only in boxing can you have "boxing fans" that don't wanna see the best fight the best

Cotto vs. Margarito 2 was most definitely on PPV.

Floyd turned down Mosley in 2007. It was Floyd's chance to be great.
Yeah, Floyd is small welter of the same size as Mosley)) Wright called Floyd several times. It was Floyd's chance to be great.
Floyd could beat Manny at his prime. It was Floyd's chance to be great.

Now Floyd has no chances to be great. He wants to be considered great by beating drained green Canelo, Guerreo and Ortiz???? ARE U KIDDING ME??

The Racket Squad: The Perfect Fraud

Arum is defending his career and in his own obnoxious way, the sport.
But right is right.
Fraud Mayweather will not allow the richest contest in prizefight history to occur.
In a sport that prides itself on blood and guts, this evasion is unacceptable.

Arum discovered a way to work with Don King during a similar period of promotional stone walling 40 years ago.

Don't confuse the issues.
When a cat hits 80 and is perceived as second best after creating careers for guys like Fraud and Oscar, he's gonna talk some non poetic trash.

Mayweather is like the drunk holding his family hostage.
He's intoxicated by the overwhelming fumes of money, the ideal of perfection and the power that accompanies such advantages.

Arum is simply on the ropes fighting back in the only way he knows how.

[JJRod]

I'm sick of hearing the beef from both promoters, fighters but especially their crazy fanatics.
It's obvious that neither fighter really wants the fight, and both have lame excuses as to why they fight hasn't been made.

But here on NSB you can't say anything negative about Floyd without getting the *****s all up in arms about how Floyd is really TBE. And you can't criticize anything about Pacquiao and his teams ridiculousness without getting the *******s angry and giving out red K's to anyone who disagrees with their point of view.

Even writers aren't safe from the harassment.
