Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather-Pacquiao Far Bigger Than Before

[MindBat]

Floyd: "this fights bigger now."

Arum: "this fights bigger now."

Pacquiao: "that chicken **** finally accepted the fight. I always believed he was scared."

Flowmos: "this fights bigger now."

*******s: "duck duck goose finally got the balls to make this fight."

You don't even have to read between the lines. Floyd and Arum never wanted this fight.

B b but, drug testing though! Yeah, some cut off dates really ruined this fight.....OK! lmao, both fighters wouldve been well juiced up before those fake ass cut off dates. It was ALWAYS about power, posturing, and not being dictated to. Oh yeah, and the fact that Floyd didn't want to have to deal with Manny after he saw him dismantle Cotto and Hatton like they were children.

Lol!!! Revisionist history at its best.

Everyone knows Manny skipped the needle test back in '09. Can't ever change that fact. Even Freddie, The Joke Coach, Roach is on camera attesting to that fact... "Because the first negotiations we were against the blood test, it was "kinda" our fault that the first time it didn't work".

As for Cotto and Hatton, Cotto's soul gotten taken by Margarito and
Floyd psychologically decapitated Ricky Hatton before Manny "dismantled
them like they were children."

But keep trying to revise history to make yourself feel good.

May 2nd can't get here fast enough.

I dont think so. I think people are thinking "its about damn time" rather than 2 fighters in their prime fighting to be the best. Arum is just promoting the fight.

Finicially it's bigger then if would of happen in 09

First of all, hat off to Floyd to accept the fight, I never thought he would. I believe pressure was brought on by CBS/Showtime for Floyd to make fight and Floyd was left with no choice.

Complete and utter bullshit. The hype back in 2010 was off the charts. Today the fight is a shadow of what it would've been in more ways than one.

But we would never have seen that wig back then.

The fight is definitely bigger now. They were talking $50 million purse 5 years ago, now it's $100 million. Fans probably had a chance to buy tickets for the fight 5 years ago but now you absolutely have no chance.

[MrRolltide91]

u could say that, financially.

both fighters was guaranteed 50 mill in 2010.

now in 2015 one fighter is guaranteed 120 mill and the other fighter is guaranteed 80 mill.
