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

[LADIV]

Yea forget the fact that it has been independently verified that he is indeed having discussions with Les Moonves. If he wasn't really doing that, you don't think everyone on team mayweather and their mother would be saying hes lying about that? Freddie Roach confirmed it and even Les Moonves himself confirmed it but wouldn't go into details about the negotiations, but there definitely are negotiations. lol idiots will try to do anything to prove that pacquiao and arum are the ones stopping this fight, when in reality they are the ones who have initiated trying to get this fight done and they have proved it by going to les moonves there is no dis*****g that, it is simply fact

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.

Dude, AL Haymon puts on the worst fights. HBO used to show all of Haymons fights and guess what? once they banned his fighters their ratings initially took a little dip, but 2014 HBO cleaned house its not even close, they are doing much better because people appreciate the fact HBO has standards when it comes to showing fights. THey wouldn't dare in a million years to show Garcia/Salka lol. The best thing Showtime could do is drop Haymon and reconcile with Top Rank for some fights as well as Golden boy. If Haymon is banned from SHowtime and HBO he will be forced to let his fighters fight top rank opponents and we as fans would finally get to see the fights we have been dying to see. Why do you think Manny has resorted to fighting ALgieri and Rios? Because AL Haymon simply wont do business with top rank. People blame bob arum, yet he has no problem getting fights made with every other promoter. In fact, on the Bradley Chavez card, every top rank fighter was matched against a fighter from another promotional company and that is a fact. Haymon is bad for boxing

Floyd pays Al Haymon to shut the F up, sit, fetch, roll-over and play dead.

Floyd: Al I hired you to be my adviser and as an advisor, all you have to do is, fetch, sit, roll-over, and most important of all play dead. I am the boss Al, nobody talks no **** around here but me, I am paying you to zipped it, know your place Al.

Who is paying you to be brain dead moron , nobody you do it for free .

Why does it have to be on May 2nd though?

When they were negotiating in late 2009, the fight was supposed to be in March 2010 so why the focus on May?

Mayweather already had this date penciled in a year ago. It was fine then. It shouldn't be a problem now.

Well, right now, that's the date that Floyd and Arum are having an issue over.

I see what you're saying (the date shouldn't really matter) but look at what happened recently:

Canelo wants to take back Cinco de Mayo weekend for Mexicans so decides to fight on May 2.

Arum says, Canelo can have May 2 to fight Cotto since Canelo is Mexican and it is Cinco de Mayo weekend; Oscar agreed.

Floyd also demands to fight (vs Pac) on May 2.

Now, Oscar just recently said that should Pac-Floyd happen, Canelo will step aside and let them have the May 2 date.

So, basically, the ball is in Arum's court.

It's basically a back-and-forth thing between Arum and Floyd, as ridiculous as it is.

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.

lol u do realize he pays gbp to promote his fights right because he is his own boss do u honestly believe for one second al haymon has any say over floyd i mean honestly give me a break u guys care to much about that aspect of it

Did I yank your chain so hard you almost cried?
Nobody pays me you are right I do it for free.

While you are all over every thread with a minimum of 10 post each to reach your quota or else you are not getting any christmas bonus this month.

Your point is invalid until Haymon says otherwise and you show me the link where a decade is 11 years. you einstein descendant you"peeleft:

Yes, but why?

The point of Floyd fighting on Mexican holidays is to help his PPV buys against guys like Guerrero, Ortiz and Maidana but a Pacquiao fight doesn't need a Mexican holiday, it sells big on any date.

If it's just an ego thing that he demanding that date then that's silly on his part, no need for it.

Canelo-Cotto actually does need that date because it will struggle to push 1m buys.
