Comments Thread For: Arum: No Hard Deadline on Mayweather-Pacquiao Talks

[IMDAZED]

Then why do you support Floyd caring about Pacquiao's finances? It's interesting that Floyd seems to show such a passion for Pacquiao's personal business.

How do I support it? Go ahead, dig a hole and explain.

Well we're all mad about it. Not sure what that has to do with weed and baby mamas. I find it curious when grown men care about the personal lives of grown men they don't know personally. I like to keep it boxing on a boxing forum but that's just me.

I'll say it again. Peplz said mayweather doesn't lie prove it. So someone else, NOT ME, posted about 12 examples. Oookkk

Going to jail bc u beat a woman, having you son think you are a coward, bragging about all your material possessions ad nauseum when there's so much poverty and homelessness. These are facts.
u can think I'm lead my the masses, idc. My opinions are based on direct quotes from the man and his family.

Manny has cheated and gamble had kids out of marriage they both have ****ty personal lives it's no point of bringing that up both fans should just stick to the boxing topics

To feel so strongly for somebody you dont know other than what the media feeds you is a refection of your weak character , youre just another easily led rock that rolls any direction its pushed , the smarties of this world cash in big time from guys like you , the masses are in majority dead beats led around by their nose .

See how that logic works both ways.

Only if the feel strongly was causing the same reactions , its not but for some reason haters cant ever look at themselves and seem to clump together like a club of misfits .

Of course it has a bearing, otherwise it wouldn't be negotiated and each fighter could wear gloves of their choice like done in some fights. It is one if the main factors, of course not, but it has a bearing.

So when the A side gets to choose to go in first or second that also has a bearing on the fight? This is also part of negotiations in most fights. By your logic since that is negotiated that should also have a bearing on the reason that fighters lose.

I mean I know that's more of a stretch (because glove selection actually has an impact) but I was just pointing out how ****** that logic is. The A-Side dictates most terms in negotiations. This sport was created on cojones and confidence. The A-Side usually does everything they can to ensure they have the most favorable conditions to win. THIS IS NOT NEW. THIS IS OLD PRACTICE

Oscar De La Hoya got to pick Mayweather's gloves in that fight.

Gloves? De La Hoya wanted Reyes brand, the "puncher's glove." Even though Mayweather always wears Winning brand, which better protects his brittle hands, he agreed.

"I can't wear the gloves I want to wear, but he can wear the gloves he wants to wear, so he said, 'Let's put that in the contract.' So I said, 'OK, no problem.'"

Read that article, you will see Mayweather conceeded to all of ODLH's terms and still beat him. As far as glove selection goes, it is MINUTE in comparison to skills, power, speed, style, footwork, workrate, accuracy and ring IQ.

If Pac loses and Pac fans try to scapegoat a loss over gloves this gon' be me:

Yeah I read the conversation. Peplz was clearly overzealous but even Helen Keller could see he was referring to negotiations. When I saw those examples I was like "oh, wow this should be a good read." Instead I'm scrolling through marijuana tribunals. Some desperate ish but whatever. I hear ya.

Sex and ********, sounds like a lot of men. Beating women in front of your kids, not so much....but point taken. it just amazes me that some blind follow every word of such a degenerate low life

[Flash13]

You support Floyd, and this is the nonsense that comes out of his mouth. Not a very hard explanations.

[billeau2]

Both networks showing the delay at the same time sounds fair to me. Its not like those who aren't subscribed to showtime or hbo would subscribe only to watch the replay. Let HBO's subscribers watch the replay on HBO and let Showtimes subscribers watch the replay on Showtime.

What's the big deal?

Its funny you should say that because the exact same thing occured to me. And i got to thinking. There was an educator from the hood and he had a class of bright kids he was given charge over...he decided to do something which now-a-days would get you fired for, namely he decided to use creativity. he created a game where the kids would form committees and take on the problems of the world....Starvation in Africa, overpopulation, conflicts galore...you name it.

The upshot of this process was that the government literally demanded that people be allowed to sit in. Why? because these kids were successful beyond belief.

I guarantee that if you took a precocious group of kids and asked them to make this fight, it would get made. Solutions would include sharing...a process forgotten...as in sharing the fight recasts.

Its ridiculous that people can't sit at the table and flesh these things out.

Do I have to point out the obvious. Walking in last, is a respect thing. There's money, respect- announcing order, names on posters, etc. and things that could impact the fight, like weight or gloves. Are u serious?
