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

[ssc73]

Pacquiao should give Floyd 24 hours to grow some nuts and sign the contract

Pac is the real A-Side anyways

How seriously can someone take anything you say objectively??

Look at your P4P list......you should clarify that as 'FAVORITE', not top P4P.

Marquez ducking Pacquiao?? LMMFAO........it was the other way around until Lyin' Bob ran out of fighters.

And you're missing a couple of guys that, like them or not, should be at the top.

When I see a 'boxing fan' not capable of being objective..... "peeleft:

[Check_hooks]

Pretty sure it made a profit. Anything around 900K buys turns a profit with the gate. Or 800K buys for that matter.

It's easy to draw 48+ million homes on state TV when you are fighting in the most populated country in the world....clown.

Did the two fights Manny did in China sell half as many PPV buys as any of Mayweather's on SHO did?

NO.

Why fight in China when the gate, PPV, and overall revenue are higher in the US for Floyd than what Manny does in China?

And why does any of this matter anyway?

Literally everything you said was false.

1. Its common knowledge that Floyd lost $16+ million in 2014. They needed to do 1.2 million PPV buys just to break even

2. And you do know that Vegas doesn't even do 15% of the revenue that Macau does right? There are individual casinos in Macau that make more than all on Vegas combined including the ****ty ass MGM

3. The 48 million was just 1 country. It was watched by 100 million in the Philippines, and millions in the UK, US, Mexico, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, etc. I'm still waiting on how many people watch either of Floyds fights in 2014 and I know for a fact it was less than what Pac did in 1 country alone

[ssc73]

Same old thing, Floyd just keeps moving the goalposts until the other side walks away and he fools people into thinking he was actually ever considering the fight.

Wrong. Hasn't ever happened. If so, prove it. And facts only.........2009 request for a blood test, Floyd moved the goalposts from 0 to 14 days out...........in Pac's favor........that's the only real negotiation that didn't work.......even Freddy says they flubbed that one up.......

Besides, Bob seems fond of June. So he can wait at least a couple more weeks before he needs to act all panic stricken. Not like there are a shortage of guys that wouldn't jump at the chance...........but Manny likes guys without a punch since Marquez anyway........

If he walks and they take the Jesse Vargas fight?? How does that embellish his 'legacy'?? Or will choosing that opponent be Floyd's fault too?

Keep drinking Bob's Lyin'-Ass Kool-Aid

Guess the knowledge isn't so common. If Floyd lost 16 mil last year, why was he the highest paid athlete of the year?

You can't blame Showtime's horrible 2014 all on Floyd. He more than pulled his weight. If take his contract and you do some math just on PPV numbers, you would realize that over the contract on the total investment, not fight by fight, they are making PLENTY and are ahead of schedule on buys with 2 fights to go. But I don't have time to teach you basic math......

As to how many viewers watch a fight worldwide or in a particular region for free? Again I ask,

And why is the Liar and the most ruinous person in boxing, along with Don King, robbing Manny of so much money if he's making such a killing and it's so lucrative to his company?

Because he's a scumbag.................but how much should you get paid for fighting Algieri?

[kamikaze_ero]

there are lot of issues in negotiations and still floyd opt to have a vacation in jamaica and australia....It is now february and there are no urgency for floyd to make d fight...He seems dodging the fight and his meeting with pac was just his publicity stunt..Floyd is coward!

You realize Pac later agreed to the 14 day cutoff drug testing but Floyd turned around and said it's too late.

I get the feeling Floyd is adding demand after demand once the previous ones are accepted. Thats whats happening before and now, stalling negotiations and annoying Arum- same 'ol Floyd. This gives me the impresion he's stalling and doesnt really want the fight. Negotiations do not take this long and difficult if you really want it, especially from the A side.

You know how you feel when you're repeating the same thing over and over and the other person keeps repeatedly asking, "what did you say?" After a few times and very annoyed, you say just forget it.

SHowtime is losing, not Floyd directly. Thats why Moonves is demanding Haymon be left out in negotiations. The only fight that was successful was Canelo. I doubt theyre ahead overall, back it up if youre confident.

[h2k]

Weeks of negotiations are frustrating Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, the promoter of WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. Arum is trying to close a deal for a fight between his man and WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.

As far as the agreed upon terms, Arum admits there are unresolved issues between the fighters and the networks. Mayweather has an exclusive contract with CBS/Showtime and Pacquiao fights under Time Warner/HBO. The networks are also negotiating on their end with problems related to the broadcast terms and which of them will obtain the lucrative rights to the delayed broadcast.

He didn't turn around and say it was too late. He said that well before they came back to 14 days.

This..

He will delay it until pac's team have no choice but to walk away. Old tactics is in full effect again.
