They also asked him at the end of that conference if that would stop the fight from happening and he said no, he knows mayweather wants the may date or look like a fool when cotto-canelo takes it from him, of course arum will make it seem like hes about to give that date away, push comes to shove if mayweather wants to keep the date he has to face pacquiao, and he will have to quit being such an idiot at the bargaining table offering less than 40 million and all that dumb stuff, because face it who else is there to fight? And who else could let him keep his ppv crown and may date?
You do realize the reason he didnt pick Khan when he did the poll was the same reason hes not interested now. Hes never changed his stance, hes always said Khan isnt known outside of the UK and should fight the big names out here. Khan thinks Collazo and Alexander earn him the shot. Its GoldenBoys fault for being so protective of Khan, the real names he should have fought were Broner, Thurman, Brook or Porter.. EVERYONE knows those are the fighters Khan should be fighting to make his case. I rather see Mayweather vs Pacquiao ANY day of the week and Arum already shaded the fight as always but all the blame goes to Mayweather per usual. If we get robbed of this fight theres noone to blame but Arum IMO.
so you're telling me Maidana was a bigger star? or could it just be that mayweather thought maidana would be an easier option.. after all 32million are guaranteed.. **** for all he cares he can box Abner mares and still get paid..
and kahn doesn't fight any of the fighters you mentions because of HAymon..
The 2/100 people who would have rather watched khan are just plain dumb. Mannys worst opponent in the last 15 Years is about as good as Devon Alexander, and he has consistently beaten a and b level fighters during that whole time. Not just beats them but absolutely dominates them most of the time and knocks them down usually and leaves them bloody and battered. Amir khan fights one b level fighter who was tailor made with no power who David Diaz and Chris algieri would have beaten, doesn't knock him down or reallybeat him up that bad but wins a good decision. And now he leapfrogs Manny in who deserves Floyd more? Lololol please what are you sniffing? Whatever it is pass it over here. I agree I think for the first time there is real hope. Manny is already talking as If the fight will get made for sure, talking strategy, also saying purse split doesn't matter, plus who shows Floyd need to face to keep his ppv crown and his may date? Pacman
Truth of the matter is that if you've been watching boxing since 15 years ago, like I've done you would know by now that triangle and beat theories don't work in boxing.
Pacquiao is tailor made for Floyd, (little guy who comes forward, moves really fast and throws 100 punches per round, not a good jab, little height, short reach, no defense, no outside game)
Khan is a dude who actually might WIN ROUNDS against Floyd. (tall guy, with blinding fast hand speed, decent timing, ankward style, long reach, good knowledge about range, defense responsability, great outside game)
Sounds weird but if Pacquiao would fight Khan, I'd pick Pacquiao over Khan, because STYLES MAKES FIGHTS, if Floyd fights Pacqiuao I'd take Floyd in a heartbeat, the only dude who can beat Floyd is KHAN, mark my words.
Everyone Knows Floyd Is All BS; So Why Not Open Up Your Negotiations Publically
Floyd insists "behind the scenes Arum is the problem". I'd say the majority think Floyd is all BS. So set up a public roundtable of discussions, for paying fans, Boxing Media, to watch/listen in on negotiations between Mayweather's team and Pacquiao's team, and we'll see who is full of **** and who isn't. We'll see who really wants this fight, and who doesn't. Don't let anything but fear get in the way. IN FACT... make IT a PPV discussion, since you're all about the money! Got the ballz to make THAT happen??? Because honestly, NOBODY has ever had trouble making a fight with Manny Pacquiao thru Bob Arum. NOBODY ever beaten or KO'd by Manny Pacquiao has ever accused Manny of PED's. The ONLY GUY accusing Manny Pacquiao of PED's, is the ONLY GUY who won't get in the ring with Manny!!!

So Maidana deserved the shot beating Broner? Guerrero earned his shot beating Berto? Ortiz earned his shot beating Berto?
GTFOH, Alexander already beated Maidana, beats Broner, Guerrero and Berto anytime of the week. Don't forget he made it hard for Bradley, and Bradley ain't no joke.
Both sides are actually been talking that they want the fight. Floyd has came out and said and Manny is not using TR anymore as the mouth piece for his following opponent.
Both guys don't have no other big money fight out there and a lost of either fighter will diminish the value of the fight.
