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

[Rath]

Bob is the one asking about other days, making statements and you say Floyd is making it an issue based solely on that. Geez Rath.

First I am not saying Bob is right.

What is wrong with another date? there are more than 40 saturdays in a year,
tens of holidays and Floyd wants just May 2 out of those dates?

Why is it that all the burden of making Floyd vs Pac falls on Arum and Pac shoulder?

Floyd has been getting almost all of his demands since who knows when from purse split to glove brand and size and what have you. can;t he for some miracle gave others some?

and they call arum greedy

[Rath]

That is possible. . . but the problem with that is, it starts with "What if" . . . If it does happen I'm sure no one would have a problem giving Floyd **** for it. (Inc. me)

thank you! and I am holding you responsible for that statement LOL

The reason is simple. It is the weekend with the least competition from mainstream sports in America so revenues are maximized. It's why Bob put on Manny fights with Hatton and Shane when Floyd was retired.

So I don't think CBS, Haymon or Floyd are going to help HBO, TR, and GBP make more money by moving to another day thus clearing the way for Cotto v Canelo on that date.

[Rath]

If Arum gave in to Floyd's demands and Floyd still chose to fight someone else, I would call Floyd a duck! Now what do you call Manny, for not taking the blood test, and not fighting Floyd before he went to jail because an outdoor stadium couldn't be built?

I have already answer this many time over but for you I am going to answer it again

All of Floyd's demands from 2009 or 2010 is negated by his answer some few months back that "I don't work with Arum"

even if Pac bend over backward to all of them 5 yrs ago, the fight will still not happen coz Floyd will not work with Arum

again it's not the blood test per se but Floyd Style Drug test.

There is no such thing as Olympic style drug test

[John Barron]

didn't oscar already say that canelo will back off from the may date if mayweather-pacquiao gets signed? so what is still the problem? arum still ducking?

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?

LOL, Not difficult to see why Floyd didn't want to do business with Arum, look at the clusterf**k we're in now.

You're answer is inadequate to say the least. I said I would call Floyd a duck, and you come up with this. If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck...it's a duck!

[IMDAZED]

Hopefully sir.

But the Cotto say he may want the date to be on May.

Cotto is known to be big diva!

Cotto's advisor said they aren't stressing any date. No need for us to even think about it. Date shouldn't be in the discussion.

You're forgetting that Floyd has already been in the 2 highest grossing fights without fighting Pacquiao. Pacquiao can't say the same. It was Pacquiao who just finished fighting Chris Algeri, and we know who Algeri was:

Novenber 19, 2014:

Depending on how you break it down, starting with Mike Tyson's first round knockout of Michael Spinks back in June of 1988, through Lewis-Holyfield II in November of 1999, there were 25 PPV cards. Starting with Lennox Lewis's second round knockout over Michael Grant in April of 2000, there have been 45 PPV bouts concluding with Saul Alvarez's split decision over Erislandy Lara this past summer. Let’s forget about the 1980 and 1990s, and take into account 2000-2014. That's 45 PPV cards and 90 fighters who fought the main event. And of those 90 fighters, only Kevin McBride who fought Mike Tyson in his last fight was less accomplished than Algieri, and you have to go back to 1995 and inject Tyson opponent Peter McNeeley to find another less credentialed fighter than Chris who was part of the main event of a PPV card.
