Comments Thread For: Arum: People Are Getting Disgusted With Mayweather!

[QUOTE=Mick Higgs;14956275]I think were all bored with PBF, he seems to pick & choose his opponents as he likes! Why won't he fight outside of the USA?[/QUOTE]

Outside of the USA? He won't even fight outside of Vegas! Protect the "0" at all costs, by any means possible; venue, judges, refs, opponents, gloves, grabbing, holding & running. Right Floyd? TBE= The B1tch Escapes

[Larry the boss]

As we expect it to. He's fighting an unknown and its being held overseas.

What does overseas have to do with ppv's? i dont understand why ya'll keep saying that

Because the focus on the promotion and marketing will be held primarily in China as opposed to here in the states.

No Pacquiao fans are expecting this fight to break even 700k. We know it's a crap fight, that's the difference between Pacquiao and Floyd fans.

We keeps it real

Yea because every Pac fan thinks alike. Seriously. Grow up.

It is comical that Bob Arum claims to know the Mayweather-Maidana 2 PPV numbers 4 days after the fight aired on a rival network when it took Arum 1 month to release the Pac-Bradley 2 PPV numbers.

The fact also remains that Pac-Bradley 2 did 750-800K for a very anticipated rematch. Mayweather did 850-900K for Guerrero and Maidana I. I think Bob is more worried about the fact that Pac-Rios and Pac-Algieri are both going to come in at below 500K. That's 2 of Manny's last 3 fights.

All of PAC's fights in macua are structured differently and that's why arum is not using top notch opponents for pac in macau. The whole city and casinos has guaranteed the price of the whole event. PPV is just the cherry on top!

Floyd's last fight was pretty empty and worst of all lacking in betting action. even high rollers with free tickets are no longer showing up. It's basically TMT and floyds cousins in the arena. lol

[Straightener]

The thing that disgusts me most is the whole 'TBE' thing

He hasn't even proved he is the best in his weight class yet

He's basically disrespecting the legends that have come before him

IMO if he does fight pac and win it still wouldn't give him the title of the best ever Ffs

Yeah Bob must be getting some sort of sweet deal to take Pac back to China. Same for Pac. I believe he avoids having to pay the U.S Govt its 39% tax rate by not fighting here.

Lets take Floyd's latest fight for example. He made a guaranteed $32mil. Off the bat Uncle Sam gets roughly $12.5mil of that. That leaves $19.5mil. This is all before Haymon, Oscar, Ellerbe get their cut on top of training expenses. Floyd will be lucky if he see's $15mil of that $32mil.

[Swann The Don]

Because of Bob's mouth this fight will never happen. I guess saying how much Floyd has declined is suppose to make him angry enough to want the fight. No win situation.

[SUBZER0ED]

And your point is? Showtime is losing money so they will overcharge?

My point is, the rip-off continues with even less attempt to justify it. Crappy undercard with a poorly fought main event. At least the Maidana vs Mayweather I card was somewhat entertaining.
