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

[-MAKAVELLI-]

I don't know. But I hope you're right, win or lose for Manny. The funny thing is, I really like Manny. If he beats Mayweather...man, he has a strong case for TBE . All I'm saying is we deserve the fight and some senile old man playing games with the media has no right to stop it. Especially when I think he gives a flying **** about Manny.

if Arum really didn't want this fight, he woulda announced plan B on Feb 1st at the strike of midnight...saying 'we told you we had a deadline'


now the old man is stuck in limbo playing this ****** waiting game...

I don't know how much Arum is getting but I'm sure he sees as much when he does a full on promotion. I think that's called just plain old logic. Try not totake it so personal, Mak

this split promotion >>> his full promotion


we both know it...plain logic means take the bigger sum...i'm not taking it personal, i just think its a lost cause at this point

Man, he can't. He got outsmarted this time and I loved watching it. Showtime and Mayweather played the media game very well. All that "we're not going to negotiate through the media." They didn't...but they met Arum step for step on his BS. If this fight doesn't happen...believe me, we will see why.

That's true.

I think Manny fans want a win over Floyd more than they do any other. I think Bob would rather die than have Floyd, a guy who left him and didn't follow the SRL/ODH model Bob created, beat Manny, a non American fighter he took from Murad and built into the biggest PPV fighter other than Floyd or ODH using that same model.

I have no doubt that would have happened if Mayweather and Pacquiao didn't have that meeting. It was Pacquiao and Koncz that cancelled the deadline not Arum.

I would hope it is so there is incentive for him but I don't know what expenses are going to fall under Top Rank for this fight. If he's got a nine figure contract with the Venetian, and if what he said about DLH-Mayweather is true (he stood to make very little as the B side), then maybe what you're saying is false. We don't know.

what do you mean he can't? Arum has repeatedly shown no shame in taking his schtick to Macau...he coulda went full spin mode and stuck with the deadline reason

very 'little' for a B-side on a Floyd-PAC fight....c'mon now

You think? I'd be pleasantly surprised. Still wouldn't pay to sit that high up though. Would rather shell out a 100 and watch it on 4K.

Yeah, unless I can really get the dough together I'm watching it at home.

$100 bucks for the ppv is doable...He just lost half the ppv numbers if he goes to 200 without a monster undercard

which means he makes the same money because he doubled the cost. Math is transitive you know- 2x 100 = 1x 200.
