I only want to see Mayweather fight Pacquiao, otherwise I choose not to purchase his fights. That's my choice, and my way to voice my displeasure in his continued ducking of the very top challenges. If you choose otherwise, that's your decision as well

It seems that Floyd is on the same page with Arum... Floyd wants to wait until that outdoor stadium is built ROFL:
According to David Mayo, who writes for the Michigan-based MLive news site — which covers Grand Rapids native Mayweather closely — one other factor also points toward 2016 as the likely time frame for the long-awaited Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao superfight.
“There also is a new 20,000-seat arena under construction on Las Vegas Boulevard, expected to be completed by early 2016,” Mayo notes. “It long has been speculated that Mayweather-Pacquiao would be an ideal fit for the new venue, which would seat about 4,000 more for boxing than MGM Grand Garden Arena, where Mayweather has fought exclusively since 2007.”

Originally posted by Scipio2009 View PostPacquiao, almost literally, has no other fight that would get him even $30m; a point that's pretty common knowledge, tbh.
Floyd can fight Khan (US an UK PPV, plus TV rights throughout Europe, Pakistan and the Middle East) or fight Cotto again (chasing a sixth divisional championship, Cotto "giving him his toughest fight", Cotto "being reborn under the guidance of Freddie Roach", etc) and comfortably make $45m in May, with eyes toward a joint Mayweather-Alvarez 2 PPV fight in September for another $65m, all without having to deal with Arum.
Ego is a heck of a thing to deal with; control is even worse.

wow. he's the one getting all these chicken labels left and right, his legacy getting tainted and all, and here he is demanding all kinds of things.
arum and pac should now know what to do. move on and forget this pukeable guy. let him rot and stay a duck all his waking life. that's equivalent to winning millions of dollars. it's more worth anyone's time. bad karma is what this tbe guy should be rewarded with. denying this guy the fight will guarantee that.
halt the negotiation arum. move on.

Originally posted by rasdun View PostPac could fight Khan too. regardless, we know that Mayweather can make money with other fights. That is not in dispute. What is in dispute now is whether he actually cares about what boxing fans want and whether he actually cares about his legacy. If he doesn't fight Pacquiao in May, we will know the answer to both questions
