Comments Thread For: Arum Will Go All Out To Make Mayweather-Pacquiao

[IMDAZED]

this was so 2012.

Yeah, notice a pattern?

We're nitpicking 5% now. I say let them open their books and we see who generates what.

Bad, bad idea. They already look very bad comparing YouTube numbers.

The only way this fight occurs is if something happens that causes Arum to no longer be in control of Top Rank Promotions. I still don't think Arum actually wants this fight to happen. If he does actually negotiate this fight, the main sticking point will be who controls the promotion Arum will want complete control over the promotional aspect of this fight so he can keep/steal the majority of the money. That is not going to happen.

Floyd won't give him promotional control of the fight for good reason. Therefore, the fight won't happen unless something happens to Arum.

thats it, arum wants promtional control he wants top rank doing the accounting for the fight and floyd and al are not going to allow that. floyd is not an opponent manny is the opponent.

how about lets talk about the story line that they'll use to promote the fight.
>fight between two top 20 atg.
>best fighter in this generation
>will floyd beat the best fighter of the last decade (fighter of the decade)?
>winner would be in top 5 atg.
above reasons doesn't need some arguing. it is what would boost the floyd-pac ppv.


this 3 below need some arguing. and personally not that important to me to spend time for arguments.
1.story line sells more than the previous ppv's.
2.fans would not buy ppv of the sole reason of the fighter have a high ppv in the past
3.arum's undercard is not that good in contrast to floyd.

We already know this.

And already he has told his first lie. I wouldn't expect the average poster on this site to understand but these:

"The fight had more knock downs than Mayweather's fights over the last 12 years."

Are not the words of someone going all out to make the fight.

Without provocation, he is throwing more hostility into the negotiations. Someone doing all they could to make the fight happen would be trying to quell the existing hostilities, or not add to it by saying nothing.

Putting things into context. When he was looking to do business with De La Hoya, they had dinner with one another in order to bury the hatchet. They still, to my knowledge, haven't put on a card with one another.

How many times do people need to witness the same song and dance to realise the fight is not going to happen.

Now all they need is for Floyd to agree.

That should be easy.

[JD Salinger]

LOL at Floyd's apologists and spin doctors.

I hope y'all get paid for your efforts.

[SamuraiSam]

Mayweathers going all out he's sat by the phone too.

Now both are sat by the phone...............

...waiting for Moonves to conference call them & tell them when and where to meet & sit at the negotiation table.

Let's guess who might not respond because the phone is making a strange ringing sound instead of showing a Tweet?
