Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Adviser: Canelo Possible, Marquez Overpriced

[Bronx2245]

Canelo isn't going any lower than 154. I'm about 99% sure of that. IF (a big IF) he changes his mind he'll go as far as 152. Pac should give him that extra 2 lbs. Dangerous? Yes, but Cotto is fighting a middleweight. Take notes, Pac. Also, it's been a while since Pac produced big PPV numbers. If he and Arum want to hit a historic 2M buys they're going to have to make a bit of a sacrifice.

This is the most *******ed article ever. First the author mentions it was Canelo who brought in big numbers, NOT FLOYD. Wow. Sure, Canelo helped a lot. But to insinuate Floyd is the lesser star is explosive garbage. Rhetorical question: How many 1M PPV buys has Canelo brought in as the A side? Everyone says Floyd's last fight "flopped" in terms of PPV revenue but it will still end up being the highest for the entire year. Secondly, Koncz mentions JMM deserves no more than $5M?! GTFO. Margarito received $6M if I remember correctly. Koncz talks like JMM still needs to carry around Pac's jock strap after knocking the F out of Manny and arguably winning 3 if not all 4 fights.

Keep your pathetic $5M. Marquez's masterpiece artwork of Pac laying lifeless on the canvas is worth so much more. It's beautifully engraved in everyone's mind and JMM is quite happy with that.

"For Saturday's fights, Arum's Top Rank boxing promotions owes guaranteed purses of $18 million to Pacquiao, plus $3 million for Margarito and $2 million for the undercard. Arum will get about $9 million in site fees from Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and fight ticket sales are strong. "We'll certainly have more than 60,000 people in there," Arum said."

I find it very ironic how they are stressing blood testing for their fights from now on.

I find it very ironic that Floyd worshipers are more concerned with the irony of Manny asking for VADA blood-testing rather than the fact that Floyd refused blood-testing against Manny when Manny asked for VADA and Floyd reportedly asked for waivers from failed drug tests from USADA...seems more ironic to me that Floyd would refuse more blood-testing...

Manny should have come up with his own shirt around the time Floyd said only USADA" "Take the VADA tests!"

[Bronx2245]

I believe he was talking about the weights which you got wrong. WW has always been 147 and MW 160.

The weights I listed were just my wishes. My problem is that Floyd beat Canelo at 152 (which I don't have a problem with), but he took Canelo's belt too (which I DO have a problem with). I don't mind catchweights, if there is no title taken in the process. However if you want to keep your title for your division, you should have to fight in your division, and you should not lose/win a title in a catchweight fight.

When did Floyd refuse a blood test request from Manny? Please show and prove.

Man shut the hell up with your hypocrisy. Pacquiao didn't accept tests because he didn't want to give blood not because it was USADA and not VADA. Captain save a Ho. You keep talking about Floyd's failed blood tests but no proof. Pacquiao is exposed. Now we got 2 more years of crappy fights and catch weights for Manny because he don't have no one to fight over at "STOP BANK" promotions.

Good fight make it happend!!!it is posible why not????Margarito was bigger than Canelo !!

[Jocknerd94]

Why can't people realize that match ups sell PPVs? Canelo's PPV numbers went down after the Mayweather fight. Its the same reason why Mayweather's PPVs went down after the Canelo fight. People need to quit being fan boys it blinds them from simple conclusions. Also the whole catch weight thing will never happen.

[Kagami Taiga]

Fight is not happening. There is simply no reason for it to. If Manny can't fight at 154, he needs to find better options. Problem is ppl talk about the cold war being over. It's not. Arum and Haymon will not work together. So there goes that.
