Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Pacquiao, Arum Been Ducking Us For Years

He's not under contract with hbo. If so show me a link

Going to sleep not going to look up the articles. But when arum announced manny resigning with top rank he also said he s eztending his hbo agreement and hbo fronted some money for the bonus pac got. Only way the fight happens is a Lewis/Tyson like copromotion. Floyd knows that.

My guess is he finally broke his silence because it looks like cotto/cinnamon is going down cinco de mayo weekend. He's just using Manny's name to scare them off the date.

So he's willing to work with Bob Arum now or is that still a roadblock?

And when he says the fight has to be on Showtime... he does know that Pac is under contract with HBO right? Both Show and HBO are willing to co-promote.

You are genuinely concerned what channel its gonna be on arent you? You should look into getn a tv remote

Top rank has a strong partnership with HBO. So there is no way arum will exclude HBO from a huge fight like pac vs Floyd (and i'm sure HBO will most definitely want to be involved). Arum already suggested having HBO and showtime work together. So why not do it like that? It's best for both parties.

Seems like Floyd only wants showtime involved. ROADBLOCK.

Looks like Floyd with another roadblock. Only wants fight on showtime.

everyone on earth knows thats not going to happen its going to be on showtime regardless of what kind of back room deal arum and hbo did. if they cant accept that then people need to quit blaming mayweather u cant honestly think showtime is going to allow that.

Partnership. So what you're saying is he doesn't have a contract. If he doesn't have a contract with hbo but won't fight on showtime what do you call that. Stop being a homer. Fighting on sho is not a roadblock

He already gave one "no way he's making 40 million!"


So Floyd is going to offer and even lower purse, than the one Pacquiao previously turned down.


Let's just think about that

[Cinci Champ]

all u guys are doing is giving manny an out of course its going to be on showtime mayweather is the A side and its not even close. they may give hbo a cut but its not going to be broadcast on hbo nor should it have to be to be made u guys need to realize manny is not even close to on mayweather level money wise anymore. besides i love how everythings an out for mayweather when all that bs started because u guys didnt want to admit it was shady for manny not to take a drug test so instead of just admitting its shady u guys double down its crazy

Floyd offered 40 mil before he got ktfo and only doing 500k ppv buys. So he should offer more now?
