Comments Thread For: Arum Eyes Mayweather-Pacquiao in Cowboys Stadium

[Larry the boss]

I don't know about ya'll but something feels different this time around.

The fight is going to happen.

Yea it feels different..because they been shoving this bull**** up our ass's for so long they done loosened us up

[Evol]

Manny re-signed with TR knowing all this yet you don't think he is culpable in any way for the fight not happening. That just isn't believable even if you are a Top Rank Intern.

Cut the BS out Evol-its Manny and Bob and its always been them since 2009. Needle fear, cuts, new stadiums, percentage split, name calling, ppv revenue, cutoff dates, countdown clocks when they have marg fight signed.

Come on dude.

manny shouldnt have to leave bob for a floyd fight to happen. thats funny because in 2009 the only thing manny didnt agree on was the cut off date in which he agreed on in 2012 then we have the new demands from floyd. leave bob arum, show me pac's last ppv #'s, manny still have bradley and marquez problems. dunn, u know manny has been consistant since 09 when asked about a fight with floyd, cant say the same about floyd. and u can twist it all u want, u can add in more stuff to make it look presentable but bottom line is manny has been saying the same thing he's been saying since 09.

cowboys stadium?

with all the inept and corrupt referee's and judges in texas, thats an absurd proposition

arum even criticised the judging and referee in the loma vs salido fight

he really does chat ****

That is not a good idea because atleast 80,000 of that 100,000 fans in cowboys stadium will be watching a live fight in the stadium on the jumbo hd tv. The ring isn't but so big to a person sitting in the nosebleed seats of stadium that sits over 100K Floyd and Manny will look like ants and you couldn't even tell who is who.

I agree that a better place should be found but a football stadium isn't going to be the answer.

I mean, it's MGM Grand or a football stadium.

Unless you want Yankees Stadium, but the way to maximize profit if a Football stadium.

Another option I have heard is a place like Dubai.

Money shouldn't be an issue because Manny said he would fight for free (so that offer of $40 mill plus PPV upside should be taken). As far as fighting in Texas we know that that will never happen (Why does Arum always do ***** like this, what happened to that stadium he was going to build?). It sucks that the new MGM stadium won't open until 2016.

he said IF both of them cant come to an agreement on the money split then BOTH can fight for charity. manny is not saying he'll fight for free. he is only speaking on the issues between floyd and himself regarding the money split.

3 ****ing years to agree to drug tests he now demands his opponents take.

yeah 3 years is too late right? but canelo's offer to come down to 150 a year and a half ago before floyd took it was still good doe right? LOL

3 ****ing years to agree to drug tests he now demands his opponents take.

by the way, he never demand his opponent to take extra testing.

I get what yall are saying and I understand venue options are limited but for them to maximize profits means a person is going to pay $300+ for nose bleed seats just to watch the fight in person but on a tv screen. That is crazy to me. I get it but personally I couldn't do it.

Since when are purse garauntees considered a flat fee?

General question not directed at you Lineal Champ!
