Comments Thread For: Arum, CBS CEO Set Meeting on Mayweather-Pacquiao

So carl frampton didn't have success in a temp outdoor stadium? be done with yourself and your use of logic over actual facts.

You guys are arguing about nothing. Everyone here should be able to agree this fight is not taking place in an outdoor or temporary venue.

They will need someplace upscale with good seating volume. I believe Vegas just added a sports complex to the strip for events like this.

So name a big fight that happened in a temporary stadium, IN the US. You've yet to answer the question I admitted not knowing. So name a fight. Again, not outdoors, TEMPORARY because that is what you said. Cotto-stan warning in 3, 2, 1...

Dempsey vs Carpentier. Would have been the first fight in the US in a outdoor temp stadium. That didn't materialize they way they wanted, cuz of venues that was already selected at that time.

I said big fights, bantamweights really? I see you also posted up an older post to skip where I said big fights. You're not Mayweather slick, not even Cotto slick. Try again.

you dont love boxing THAT much do you, to go ahead and discredit bantamweights

OMg, here we go again on the A-B side! so if floyd demands pillow gloves its reasonable? And who's the A-Side and the B-side? damn floydiots are the worst fanbase in the history of ALL SPORTS! lol!

You sound ******ed because all A sides make demands because they are the A sides. Look at Cotto/Martinez. When one side make the most money then it is natural business that the said person is in the drivers seat. In my opinion I think Floyd should be reasonable to make the fight but in the same breath no way Pacquiao should get 50%. People always blaming Mayweather but he has been the only 1 of the two that actually went all the way to make the fight while Pacquiao walked away. Those are documented facts, no matter how ludicrous Pacquiao fans think the deals were. First all he had to do is accept random tests up until the fight and the second time all he had to do was negotiate the PPV. Mayweather has an ego but it is there for everyone to see but Manny does too but people try not to see it because he is not as upfront as Mayweather but Pacquiao has shown to be very stubborn at times.

Has nothing to do with skill, but drawing power which has relevance in where you hold a fight. Your only other example was over 50 years ago during a completely different era entirely. Just stop, please you're like Bush the more you talk the worse you look.

floyd looked mediocre in last two fights. manny looked great in his last three.. heading in the momentum is strictly on pacquiaos side. . straight left hand vs the shoulder roll.. man oh man if that punch lands.. but $100 million !! god damm

He doesn't agree with that. Just 10 pages back he was all about this fight happening in a temp stadium then calls me racist because I said 2 black American fighters and didn't think oh they should fight at Azteca in Mexico City.

Did I understood this correctly?

Aarum offer to FMJr. 100M and 60M to Pac?

Wow, need to stop ducking. Its time to make the fight!!!!

Come on Floyd, lets do this man! There should be no excuse now!!!!

I gave you other examples, albeit they were outside of the US, but they are legit examples. You are the one that doesn't like the answers. My guess is because it doesn't fit your "logic".

The biggest threat to this fight will not be how much Mayweather gets paid and how much Pacquaio gets paid, but how much Bob Arum gets paid. Arum wants at least half the money and Mayweather is not willing to give it to him. That is what will stop the fight from happening.
