Comments Thread For: Arum: I Don't Think Mayweather Ever Fights Pacquiao
Collapse
-
The fight was rumored to happen in May 2012. Mayweathers 2 fights before had guarantees of 22.5 million vs Mosely and $25 million vs Ortiz. So like it or not, guaranteeing himself close to $100-125 million to Mannys $40 was ******.Comment

If you want to know why Floyd doesn't want to fight Manny, there's one answer...Arum. Floyd had to work for that man, and that man made a ton of money off him. He finally had to pay to get out of his contract to get Oscar, and after that his success skyrocketed. He tried to get the fight done twice. Forget the OST, which Manny should've taken, and just think about the last go round. The cuts, the stadiums, etc. Arum killed that fight. Floyd tried to get Manny to cut out his middle man (Arum), and Manny threw up his middle finger. Now Manny will never make that kind of money without Floyd. Floyd has already been in boxing history's 2 biggest events. He sells! It's now a matter of pride. Who's the master and whose the slave now? The fight is not between Floyd and Manny, it's between Floyd and Arum. The former master vs. the freed slave. It's not gonna happen, unless the former master becomes the slave, and it's gonna be painful. That's why the demands after demands, after demands.Comment

So you agree that Bradley really won the first fight against Pacquiao, and the fight against Ruslan. It doesn't bother you that Ruslan had never fought @ 147, or that Marquez has never done anything @ 147. I guess that's where we differ. And now you also believe Algeri deserves a shot against Pacquiao. Algeri resume is worst than Broner's. Not only do you feel Algeri is worthy, you call Canelo overrated too! I guess we'll agree to disagree.
Beating top p4p'er slick Bradley trumps Floyd's wins against mediocre quitter Ortiz (who lost soon after to josesito), mediocre slow plodding no defense Guerrero, very green overrated only had one decent win canelo, slow moving no defense brawler maidana. Quality over quantity. Deal with it.Last edited by Divine Hammer; 09-17-2014, 07:32 AM.Comment
