Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather Disrespect, Poaching Mexican Holiday!

[Muscles72]

Who cares what the date is what does arum care cinco de mayo is the battle of Puebla Mexicans in my area don't really celebrate that day it's more of an American holiday another reason for idiots to go out and get plastered their real holiday is their Independence Day September 15 but recently Floyd has been fighting on that date too so whatever maybe if Canelo didn't give such a horrible performance against Floyd or had won their fight anyway nobody would watch the mayweather fight anyway that being said mayweather is still king so he gets dibs.

LOL! some of these comments man... hahaha!

My fav was so far the defense of Pac vs Mosley on May 7th because he has "Azucar" on his trunks. smh. Somehow this makes Shane a honorary Mexican.

Let's have FMJ put "Dinero" on his trunks! Then everybody will be happy,right?

I'm not sure why everybody is acting so brand new with these PPV dates. FMJ has been fighting in May/Sept since 2009. In that time he has fought Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley and Marcos Maidana all on Cinco de Mayo weekend. Cinco de Mayo is just a big fight weekend. Mexicans, like many other nationalities, enjoy the sport of boxing. Whether a mexican fights on this weekend really doesnt matter. (speaking as a mexican)

At the end of the day, FMJ is the A-side in these negotiations. He has fought on two specific dates since 2009. He has May 2 open and is openly saying he want Pacquaio on that date. Everybody wants to see this fight and wants to see it sooner than later. Pac wants the fight, Fmj wants the fight...the only problem is Arum at this point.

I got it, now my question is since Floyd is adamant with the May 2 date and from the looks of it it's either Floyd's way or the highway - choose now Mr. Dunn sir between

Maximized profit as you put it or
No profit at all?

Rath, that isn't the question and reading your posts you know this. The question is does Floyd move from the may 2nd date knowing Bob is making this an issue solely so he and his partners can maximize profit on another fight?

I say no and gave reasons for that above. Bob is hinting he will not sign off if Floyd doesn't move. If so, that's on Bob. If you and others hold Floyd accountable for that for Bob preventing the fight again, so be it.

The hilarity of the whole situation is Canelo is supposed to the recipient for the great day in Mexican history. You argue that something is sacred for a courageous people, and then speak of handing the date to someone who has pretty much had a silver spoon placed in his mouth.

I'd be more inclined to feel a little bit of sympathy if they were talking about someone like Morales receiving the date for a farewell fight. You know, a fighter who worked hard throughout the entirety of his career.

When I look at Canelo, I think what has this prick done to warrant such a sense of entitlement.

Good grief you're deeply invested emotionally in your father figure aren't you?

Please don't do anything crazy if he loses.

Father? Oh ok, I guess you're mad because I can actually dispose of all you Dimwits with facts. I won't do anything crazy because he hasn't and won't lose, especially not to Manny Pacquiao who needs to fight someone like Algieri to boost his confidence up and show he still got it. Manny knocked that deer in the head lights fighter down 6 times and couldn't get him out of there. Dude wasn't even fighting back..... ooooh I'm so afraid of big bad Manny beating Mayweather (sarcasm). Had to write that for you slow brain ******s.

365 days in a year and floyd can only fight on one or Manny is ducking? Floydiot mentality is the dumbest thing I have ever come across. I cant stand Arum either, but this is just ******ed beyond belief.

[WESS]

Manny doesn't have any financial claim in the Cotto vs Alvarez fight. It is time for him to step up to Bob and force him to make his fight on May 2nd.

We are all tired of Bob telling us why Pac can't fight Floyd.

[tomhawq]

arum needs to give way to the royal highness floydweatha, the best eva. forget about small time canelo and cotto. the best eva deserves to make more, more, more...
