Comments Thread For: Pacquiao: I Want Floyd Mayweather, The Fans Deserve It!

[megadeth]

Anyone can call anyone out...ever hear the saying actions speak louder than words... Floyd is the only one who gets uptight and ejects people from his camp for speaking on fighting Pacquiao...

I wish u would use this logic with Pac and team. What "actions" have they made to make the fight. Floyd has actually had much more action than Pac has. And why are u guys always taking things out of context? He was upset with his father guaranteeing the Pac fight. Why would he want him telling everyone that when the fight isn't even signed? Love just mentioned the fight in a recent article and said that Floyd told him he wants the fight. Did he eject him?

Read what I wrote again. It'll come to you. Here, focus on this part: The biggest moneymaker in boxing isn't necessarily the biggest moneymaker for Arum.

I read that part. Makes little sense to me. You think he makes more money when he controls all the revenue, meaning Pac fights an in house Top Rank fighter. But those fights are losing steam and not generating as much as a fight with Mayweather would. Arum wouldn't make more on Jessie Vargas vs Pacquiao than Pac/Mayweather.


Again why would a promoter whom we know is a money grubbing pig, not want to make the biggest fight possible? Not want to get a fighter who's been loyal to him, at a time where many have not been i.e. Cotto, Chavez Jr, the biggest fight he could make?

Finally,,,,,What say YOU , Mr. Floyd Mayweather TBE JR ?

You can hobble on old legs but you Can't HIDE !

Come Out Come Out wherever you are !!!

Pacquiao needs to stop being Arum's puppet and must finally call out Floyd Mayweather. As long as Pacquiao doesn't explicitly mention Floyd's name, and that Floyd is specifically who he calls out by name and who he wants to fight, then Pacquiao is really just Duckquiao

Dang, Mang, I nearly feel sorry for you !! He DID call him out in a nice way.

There is ONE fighter with class and don't need trash calling. All week long he has called him out.

He still makes more money from those in-house fights. That's why he didn't want to be involved with Mayweather-De La Hoya, according to him anyway.

because arum wouldn't be the lead promoter in this fight.......TMT/gbp will be the lead promoter. TR wouldn't be getting 50/50 of anything. pacquiao will get his pay cut and thats it.

Give Pacquiao some credit. We've waited years for Manny to properly call Floyd out, live on the big screen after a win. Manny doesn't strike me as someone who would dodge. He knows that's a pretty tough task ahead of him but I bet he also believes that he could find a way to win.

Unfortunately, his promoter is also aware that it's a risky matchup that could cause him to lose it all. Can you imagine if Mayweather and Pacquiao fought and Floyd stops him? Arum would die. Literally. His heart would give out. He (note: he, not Manny) can make more promoting in-house fights and he'll do that for as long as he can.

Yes not being the lead promoter would suck for Arum. But also not being lead promoter means he doesn't have to take on all expenses to promote the fight.

You do know that even for his in house fights Arum has to spend a lot of money to promote the fights. He would have to spend a lot of money to promote the Vargas/pac fight because Vargas is so unknown. By the time Manny gets his guarantee all other fighters on the undercards are paid, then Arum gets his %.

I don't think that when it's all said and done that % from an in house fight would be more than the % he would get from a Mega fight with Mayweather.

The 50/50 split or even a 60/40 split in Mayweathers favor would still IMO generate more money for Arum than an in house fight with another Top Ranker.

Is Floyd paying some of the "posters" here or they are writing what they are writing just because they're dumbs, stricto sensu?
