Comments Thread For: Bob Arum on Latest Pacquiao-Mayweather Rhetoric

[KillaMane26]

It seem like Arum just wants to A. Avoid the fight B. FCK Floyd outta his May 2nd date

[Reloaded]

Canelo and Cotto not even top rank fighters...and Oscar said he would move them off if need be....So why all of sudden he care so much about what mexicans think.....when they wanna see Manny/Floyd also......UGGGGHHH I FCKING HATE BOB ARUM

Bob said Manny was the Mexecutioner , did he care about Mexicans then !

If (b) is true, it was kinda pointless bothering that Moonves guy.

im starting to think bob is more worried about ****ing mayweather then literally anything

[AgainstTheRopes]

It's not Manny, it's Top Rank. In theory, Top Rank benefits from having the Canelo-Cotto fight on that date because it will presumably do extra numbers on a Mexican holiday.



I don't think anyone's declining it, yet at least.

Ideally for Arum he gets Cotto-Canelo on May 2nd because that would absolutely drive up PPVs and then Pacquiao-Mayweather on another date. So I do get why he is fighting this. So it is possible he is just trying to play hardball.

It just seems as though its just another one of his excuses (Drug testing/arena/cut)

ya and they know may pac will sell anyway the problem is its not their choice its mayweathers and mayweather could give 2 ****s about whether a canelo cotto fight sells and its not like the date came out the blue hes been fighting on these dates forever

[MrRolltide91]

Eddie Hearn said that's what Mayweather told him. Could've been Floyd pulling a number out of his jacksie but that's apparently what he said.

was it on one of ellie seckbach videos?

Floyd says Cinco de Mayo, Bob says its "disrespectful to Mexicans", Oscar says he'll move Canelo/Cotto to accomodate Floyd/Manny on that date...reading this article it seems Bob hasnt yet figured out his angle.

Team Mayweather should be a little flexible on that date to negotiate a bigger split. Floyds #s are double what Pac does and they rightfully deserve no more than 33%, if Bob wants to posture on that date, drop there split to 30%, by not fighting on that date could affect it by thousands of buys.

No problem, give Vegas to Canelo. May and Pac can go fight in Dubai and make 200 MilL..
