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

[megadeth]

Or maybe its because after the first negotiations, in which Floyd agreed to the 50/50 split, the glove sizes MP requested, the ring size MP requested, the weight penalty MP request and was ok with a 2 week before fight cutoff from testing, Arum continuously bashed Floyd. When you extend your hand, especially when you're not too fond of them anyway, and that person spits on it, its normal to say "F that person".

It's amazing how to so many people pretend like they don't know this!

So now the Mayweather fanboy excuse is, Arum being alive is stopping the fight, if Pacquiao kills him then the fight is on


Shame on Hopkins for making such crass comments, Bob has got long left and filth like Hopkins and others on this thread are wishing him dead.

Shame on you all, 1, for saying such a thing and 2, for believing it.

Yeah Pacquiao made the rules that you have to where 8oz glove for a welterweight fight

Name me some other welterweight fights that they where 10oz gloves.

Seems your brain just like many others on here lack a BS detector

Tim Bradley got paid $5m to fight Pacquiao. Maidana is getting $1.5m to face Mayweather

Do Tim Bradley have a fight lined up? Do Pacquiao? No.

Aren't a bunch of young talent with names leaving Top Rank? Yes.

Didn't Floyd, Miguel, and Oscar made more money and increased their career earnings leaving Top Rank? Yes.

Isn't Marcos Maidana getting a percentage of the PPVs? Yes.

Didn't April 12th have one of the most ****tiest under-cards put together this year for PPV? Yes.

So Arum has to disappear first. For four years it was, "Take the test and we'll have a fight." What happened? Hehe... What a joke.

[Shambrolic]

Start at 0:35..

Mayweather back in 2009 already broke it down and people are still blind.

He's talking about the business deals Pacquiao made, how Bob Arum is trying to orchestrate the money, Cotto's situation... Damn it's crazy how 5 years ago he's already broken down what has come to pass. Arum always been in the way.

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

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.

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

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.

THESE.

There's too much CONDITIONS for the fight to happen. Too many roadblocks. Just about anything can be a reason NOT for Floyd to fight.

[Mr.Fantastic]

Can someone tell me WHO has done more in the sport of boxing overall than Arum please?
