Comments Thread For: Arum Says Pacquiao Contract Extension is Close

[JDD1]

i didnt say he was suffering. could have fought margarito, williams, pacman, undefeated cotto. but he didnt. i wonder why!!!

as I asked you yesterday who else fought this combination of boxers at 147? If criticism is rooted in "who he could have fought" then that should be applied evenly to everyone, not just floyd because he chooses to market himself as TBE.

Bob Arum Old Ass Needs To Die Already SMH

First and foremost **** Fraud Gayweather and secondly I'm a die hard fan of PAC but if he resigns a 5 fight contract with Rob Arum and not leave Rob Arum so that the Fraud PAC fight hopes can be made I'm no longer a fan of his and I'm not going to watch no more of both of their fights. Nobody wants to see PAC Marquez fight 17x or PAC Bradley fight 11x cause Top Prank has no fighters in his stable at 147.

How so? You want him to jeopardize his own future while waiting on the other guy who already secured his own future with Showtime and thus far has been non committal about fighting him. You can't hate a man for securing long term guaranteed money for him and his family. Manny resigning with top rank won't be the reason the fight won't happen. Perhaps he's like the vast majority who already saw the ship sailed on the fight already.

Yep u must be a tard... so I'll explain it to u a little. Listen, it's not just about Mayweather. If he leaves and go to gb he will have all kinds of avenues to go down. He could fight: Broner, Garcia, Guerrero, Canelo, onetime, and more. All those fights will make him more money than he would make more money than fighting the same 2 or 3 fighters over n over n over n over n over again (but of course u tards seem to like that)!

all im saying is he could have fought those guys if he wanted to. if you want to go down as the best ever, then you have to fight the best. its as simple as that really. if your name is floyd mayweather, who would you rather on your resume? the guys i mentioned or guys like ortiz and guerrero?

for a number 1 p4p guy to always have an excuse is getting a bit boring now.

so why does floyd wants manny to leave his promoter then? floyd is fighting manny not manny's promoter LOL!! and where did i defend arum? oh thats right i didnt, ur just adding stuff to suit ur statement. LOL!

We've discussed this. Most likely because Bob asked fighters to disassociate with GBP as a condition of getting a fight ith Manny. This way Bob had total control and maximizes his profits. Floyd as a "promoter" is likely doing the same thing.

It's a sound business practice that isn't the exclusive property of TR. Floyd is copying it, likely at AL Haymon's suggestion.

[chepboxingking]

[Skip Bayless]
