Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: No Urgency on Mayweather Side, It's Terrible!

[tredh]

The cheapest seats would have to be less than a $1,000. I would say $375-500.

Although, you may be right if it's true that Floyd is suggesting pricing the PPV at $199/209.

That would never ever happen!!! The fight would barely break 1mill for prices like that. You already got people complaining about $75. $200 for a ppv fight will crush the sales. They are arrogant @ssholes but they will not go that hard on the fans

If floyd wanted the fight then why he trying to go to Australia and Jamaica? Hes going on a world tour to avoid fighting Pac

This fight should've been announced in December

wait what? pac is also on a world tour lol

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Nah, I wouldn't.

Funny, Kev sent me a msg on my profile today saying, I remember you used to be a Top 3 Floyd basher...what happened?

You know what happened? Manny ducked the fight because of testing, that's what. And I thought he was oh so wrong. And I thought what transpired was disgusting.

So no, I call a spade a spade. Can't say the same for everyone else though.

agree to disagree...he's not ducking testing now, so what's the hold up? he's willing to take less, what's the hold up? he's embraced the B-side perspective, what's the hold up?


i think someone's moving goal posts again and i think that's pretty disgusting


let the backlash begin...i dont give a **** anymore...


for me, boxing right now is; GGG vs Murray and Kovalev vs Pascal...shi1t that's really going to happen

Oscar left Arum to make his own fights,
Floyd left Arum to make his own fights,
Cotto left Arum to make this exact fight,
Arum doesnt care about what fights his fighters want, as demonstrated above. Arum has nothing to negotiate with his ppvs are far below Floyds, and Arum is not used to being treated this way and he believes Floyd truly is the "best fighter since Ali This young man has the teqhnique and the ability which puts him in my book ahead of such greats as Sugar Ray Leonard, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler and all the other great fighters that I’ve seen in my career. And there is NOBODY that combines all the skills of Floyd mayweather." -BOB ARUMjust like pac's previous promoter believed Floyd would "beat the dayllights outta pac" and he admitted that, thats the reason he kept Pac* away from Floyd TBE. Arum truly believes Mayweather will beat the daylights out of Pac* and thats the reason he will not let this fight happen. He can squeeze more money outta pac and make alot more if he's the lone promoter

also didnt koncz just say a day or 2 ago they were going to quit talking to the press basically a jab at bob arum for talking while also lying. maybe im wrong but it just seems like bob arum is more worried about the pr then actually getting the fight done

Please tell me the last time floyd "beat the daylights" out of anyone???? You are a joke with these type of statements...Sure, I agree Floyd will probably win by decision but "beat the daylights" out of Pac?? He could not even do that to Guerrero who is definitely nowhere near Pac ability and talent. These kind of comments make Floyd sycophants look like complete dumbasses...as they should be.

I hope so, I was replying to "Schoolthecats" or whatever his name is who tried to say it would be Pac-Vargas. It obviously won't be.

My point is that Floyd is the one under pressure because he's insisting on the May 2nd date and it's unlikely Showtime go up against Canelo with another 800k opponent (if it even does that with Canelo as comp).

I don't know why he wants the May date so badly but it's clear he values it for whatever reason.



Even if what you're saying is true (which I doubt), Mikey Garcia would take the fight in a heartbeat. It will not be Vargas.

Lemieux vs anyone decent on the undercard is a good fight. Boxing fans like action and Canelo-Kirkland is guaranteed action.



A Pacquiao-Matthysse fight would be at 144.



Then explain why he tried to make this fight, why bother the head of CBS to get him involved?

weebler its 5 years after he and Manny, according to Freddie, walked away from the fight. the dynamcs are much different now-he is making the fight most likely because he has to.

No one can answer that question anymore they they could answer why he let juanma/gamboa fall apart.

same guy who saw his two biggest stars ever leave and is being sued by two of his current big stars. same guy who just **** upon rigo who is widely seen as one of the 2-3 best fighters in the world.

He is trying to make it now, yes but also seems to be impeding it being made every time he leaks to the media.
