Comments Thread For: Arum and De La Hoya on May 2nd: That's Canelo's Date

[ThePrince]

You are clearly biased as hell. If Floyd said this you guys would call it a road block. Floyd always says wayyy in advance what date he's gonna fight. But now arum thinks it's disrespectful to not have a Mexican on May 5? Arum controls you guys

LOL, see if you can catch up...

Arum doesn't give a **** about Mexicans or Canelo upholding some Mexican date/tradition. He just knows what Floyd was trying to accomplish the other night. It's just him one-upping him in the PR game as he's been doing for years. If Floyd all of a sudden says 'Cinco de Mayweather weekend or no fight'... naturally the logical person will ask 'Why?'

Floyd fought on May 5 weekend 3 years in a row but you think he only said it so cotto and canelo don't fight then?

Yes. Exactly. Now you're following.

Why do you think he was as silent as a mouse pissing on cotton for weeks while Manny was calling him out in public, doing commercials mocking him, etc. And then right after Oscar announces Canelo agreed to terms on May 2nd, then all of a sudden he's all about Manny on the same date?

It's not rocket science and Uncle Bob saw right through it.

BINGO!

If Cotto/Canelo agree to fight on Cinco de Mayo... what exactly would be the issue with having Pac-Floyd in June, or April, or any other day of next year?



But Cotto and Canelo are actually making moves to get an actual fight finalized. Oscar says Canelo has already agreed to terms and it seems that the beer sponsor is the only issue left to iron out. Floyd has done what exactly? Give a staged interview where he established even more roadblocks?

AGAIN... why can't the fight be on another date?

It can be on another date but so can Canelo-Cotto. Nothing is signed and Canelo and co knew In advance that that's Floyd's date.

Why is Arum against that date? What logical reason does he have to be against that date?

That sounds like Arum looking for an excuse to me. Won't be the first time either.

Lol when was Floyd in front of cameras and boxing people before last night? That's probably his first boxing related interview since the maidana fight wtf. Arum is putting up a road block. Again Floyd said long ago he was fighting on May 2

Well that is absolute sheer speculation.

Surely a logical person would ask why Arum wouldn't want to fight on that date?

What reason could he possibly have?

It will make the most revenue on that date.

[ThePrince]

It can be on another date but so can Canelo-Cotto. Nothing is signed and Canelo and co knew In advance that that's Floyd's date.

Canelo has been saying for months he was planning on reclaiming Cinco de Mayo for the Mexican fans, etc. There were several threads here about it.

He followed up his words with action and the fight is close to being finalized. Meanwhile Floyd has...

Why is Arum against that date? What logical reason does he have to be against that date?

If Cotto fights on May 2nd, and he's trained by Freddie Roach... obviously Freddie can't train Manny as well. There's a logical reason.

Now AGAIN- tell me why Pac-Floyd can't be in April, or June, or any other date.

I'll wait.

[Wizardsh]

This sounds a little suspect.

They call out Mayweather, he calls them to fight...Arum doesn't want to because the date he has made fights on before is suddenly disrespectful?

You actually thought mayweather was serious about fighting manny you should be a clown. Everybody knows may is full of $h!t don't you get it moron. The fight is not happening because morons like you buy mayweather fights

Stop it

Dude is a social media whore and had no issue going on youtube, U-stream, etc to talk **** about Pac in the past. In fact, all he did for weeks during Pac's public calling out was post a Marquez KO vid on facebook.

He didn't feel the need to bring up Manny's name before Canelo actually put his Cinco de Mayo takeover into action.

[Carpe Diem]

Don't take Prince too seriously. He'll defend Team Pacquiao no matter what. You can't argue with someone who only sees things from his own biased perspective. What's wrong with the May date? A lot of Mexicans, Americans, and Filipinos will be in attendance for the fight. PR statement or not, that's a ****ty way to show you want to make the fight happen. Anyone who doesn't have his/her head stuck up so far up Arum's ass should be a bit disappointed to hear this statement from him.

Mayweather said well before Canelo did, that that's his date, everyone knows it, so again they knew this full well before going for that date.

What kind of backwards logic is this?

You're asking me why can't Floyd move date, he can, by why would he? Why on Earth would Arum want to have Canelo-Cotto on May 2nd when they can have Mayweather-Pacquaio on that date?

Why can't Cotto-Canelo move date? Doesn't that make sense to move that fight as opposed to Mayweather-Pacquaio the MUCH bigger fight?

I don't know Roach training anyone has to do with Arum. They can sort that between themselves that had nothing to do with Arum.

Clearly you were not thinking straight when you made this thread

[blacraven]

This is total bullsh^t.
Are you fu^king kidding me man?

None of these punks have even been fighting or doing sh^t on cinco de mayo.
Not a DAMN THING!

Now all of a sudden after Floyd has been doing it for years and making a killing, they want it for "Mexican Pride"....
Get the Fu^k outta here with that crap man!
Floyd CLEARLY built up that weekend for the events that he's been putting on.
Spent Millions dollars in marketing and promotions.
Paid countless people who have worked countless hours to put these events on,
And these shark, greedy, snake muther fu^kers smell the money!

This is clearly about the money and being a greedy a$$ person.

They don't give a flying fu^k about no Mexican pride or the state of the Mexican people.

If they did then why don't they GO TO MEXICO and put on big fights for the people then?
They wont because it ain't no money in it for them thats why, atleast not like what they can make in Vegas.

Why not go to the communities in Mexico and do something special FOR the people?
Something that doesn't involve ..er..um... lets say... RECEIVING MULTIPLE MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM THE PEOPLE!!!!

Do something FOR the Mexican People:
a. Build some better Housing.
b. Donate proceeds to to help the Mexican people.
...Do something, anything....

These Greedy, Fake A$$, Lying Fu^kers get on my nerves man.


I'm done my rant..
