Comments Thread For: Hopkins: As Long as Arum Living, No Mayweather-Pacquiao

[Resilient]

Bob Arum is a cancer. If he wasn't involved with Manny this fight would be signed in a weekend.

Why didn't Floyd mention Arum in 09? Back then it was just ''take da test''

[al-Xander]

I'd settle for Mayweather vs Hopkins.
Make it happen!

First it was just take the test and we have a fight, that's all there is to it. Then came PAC must take a flat fee with no PPV share . Now it's pac must leave Arum, no exception.

Always. Always. So I guess Floyd was never serious when they negotiated?

Oh snap

These idiots will jump on the next excuse. They'll slurp up anything that's fed to them.

It's as simple as this. People said Floyd was ducking Cotto. Cotto leaves Arum and a bout between the two is EASILY....EASILY made. It has always been Arum. Always.

It's always been FLOYD not wanting to business with Arum. Always! And it's not an excuse to have 1 of the biggest fights in boxing history not get made because of it.

[MindBat]

They don't love business they love FLOYD and whoever is his enemy is their enemy and whoever he likes is their favorite, and Richard and Haymon are Floyd guys so they support them.

Had Pacquiao agreed to everything in the past, Floyd would have came up with something new every time. Because he doesn't want arum getting anything outta it.

Revisionist histrionics at its best. Sure, Ok.

First it's "Let the commission do their job." then, "We don't like USADA. We like WADA." Then, after Marquez shuts off the lights, it's "Let's do VADA 'cause Marquez hit too hard. That ain't fair."

Floyd's minions are something else. Whatever he says they take as gospel, they're like a bunch of boy band fans.

If Pac agreed to the initial demands there would be another road block. Besides, this current talk of ''no fight as long as Arum is involved'' adds more credence to the fact that Mayweather was never serious about facing Pacquiao and never wanted the fight... ''Nu uh, mah health is important''

When did team Pac say they don't like USADA?

Pacquiao could walk away from Arum tomorrow..then another reason would just pop up.
Arum has been around all this time, but it wasn't him..it was the tests, or the split. Now its Arum.

The fights not going to happen..but the promotional sides will always talk about it , as it keeps the 2 relevent to casual fans of the sport and helps sell their PPV's. It got boring years ago.
