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

[IMDAZED]

If Arum gets in good terms with Haymon, the fight happens immediately. Arum wants to talk to everyone BUT Haymon.

I doubt very much he's negotiating anything with Moonves.

lol usually thats all u seeng is pac fans trolli it kinda says it all i just picture them regrouping on messenger somewhere giving a battle speech

Mayweather fights for Showtime, and showtime has lost a lot of money on a few of floyds fights. Les Moonves can put the pressure on Haymon and Mayweather to fight Pacquiao, or risk losing out on a lot of business. HBO got fed up with Al Haymon, and kicked all of his fighters off HBO, and all of Golden Boy Fighters as well and it turned out to be the best move ever because HBO is kicking Showtimes Ash. I am sure SHowtime is getting sick of the Al Haymon BS and they could do the same thing HBO did. I am pretty sure that is the only reason Mayweather is claiming to want to fight Pacquiao anyways. Remember if it weren't for Pacquiao calling him out constantly and doing the foot locker commercial, and also Bob arum initiating the negotiations by going over al haymon and straight to the main boss, this fight wouldn't even be a possibility right now. So you can thank Arum and Pacquiao for at least trying and giving us some hope.

Another person that understands this. I like Floyd and Manny and I can say without bias Floyd's the one that don't want it. If he really wanted it he would make a real offr.

They lost a lot of money with Mayweather? If they drop Mayweather/Haymon, they lose out on ALL Haymon fights. And suddenly those 700-900k viewers they've been getting, and 700-900k PPVs, turn to 400-500k viewers and 0 PPVs. HBO would take Mayweather/Haymon back just to **** on Showtime. Lol, let the Showtime boss try to boss around Haymon, let's see how that ends up for Showtime Boxing. They'll have to start from scratch.

Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think Arum may have had a 2-minute conversation with Moonves. Now he is going around telling everybody what Moonves thinks and wants. The fact that Arum is going around telling everybody that Moonves thinks this fight shouldn't happen on May 2 is silly.

Without bias lol .

Arum is getting ready to duck the fight again !

mayweather is his own boss. pacquiao is a ****** puppet being controlled by arum.

LMAO, Mayweather can claim he is his own boss all he wants, but at the end of the day he is signed to a biatch contract and is owned by Al Haymon just like Amir Khan, Danny Garcia, Lucas Mathysse, Marcos Maidana, and everyone else. He is as much of his own boss as Pacquiao is, and to top it off, every single one of his fights has been promoted by either golden boy or Top Rank. He has co-promoted a few of his matches but that's the same as Manny Pacquiao co promoting with his MP promotions, or Cotto co prooting with his Cotto Promotions and Khan promotions. So whats the real difference? Mayweather co promotes his fights with Golden Boy and gets paid by golden boy and pacquia does the same with top rank, but Pacquiao isn't signed to an advisor who controls everything and also isn't locked down to a network. I would say Manny has more control over his career than Floyd does up to this point. Now Floyd just got his promoters license for Mayweather promotions so he will probably be promoting his fights by himself, then ok yes THEN he will finally have more control over his career than Pacquiao does, wait a minute I lied, he is still an Al Haymon puppet at the end of the day lol he is such a clown its not even funny.
