Comments Thread For: Arum Says Mayweather-Pacquiao II Talk is Bull****

[IMDAZED]

Everyone is saying that May-Pac II wouldn't do near the PPVs as the first fight did, and they're right, but so what. The 1st fight did 4.4 million, I bet the 2nd fight would still do 2.5 million. It would be the 2nd or 3rd biggest fight in history PPV wise and it would be the biggest fight you could still make in boxing next year.

You're missing the point. For starters, I'm not even convinced it does 2.5m PPV's but let's say it does. The real issue is...how do you pay the fighters?

Not to mention the toradol shot pacquiao requested is legal under usada guidelines. Their excuse was the request was not filed within sufficient time...but mayweather gets a retroactive exemption (meaning after the event has already taken place) for the****utic use. How is this getting lost on people?

You guys are dum. In the law of contract, verbal agreements are recognised in the court of law and by operation of law. May weather received verbal approval from usada officials a full day before the fight, it's the paperwork and procedures that were filed later in order to provide tangible evidence, sort of like ratification.

Pacquiao on the other hand hid his condition and filled in that he didn't have an injury when he was given an opportunity to reveal the injury and get the shot. That's why he didn't get the shot when he revealed 40 minutes before the fight that he supposedly injured.

In other words, the difference between the two was transparency. There is also the fact that it was USADA who gave mayweather verbal permission the day before but NSAC who denied pacquiao, two different orgs with two slightly different procedural systems.

Remember that. Not only did PACs team lie on the form, but also that they lied about usada. PACs team said that they told usada three weeks earlier about the injury and that usada allowed them the shot for training purposes, however, usada disputed that and said that PAC only called them to inquire about the legality of various substances, none of which were the one he requested on fight night, and that he never told them about an injury.

So once again, the issue was transparency, Pacquiao's team were denied because they lied at every corner and were acting very su****ious, Mayweather was permitted by usada because he was open about his condition and it was confirmed at the time whereas there was now way to confirm pacs condition a few min before the right thanks to his condition.

It seems from Bob's response that he was caught off guard and may not want Pac and Floyd talking. I will take the bumpkinism of pac's "aw gee me and the lord" over the refined evil that is Arum any day. Floyd lost a few cars today and if he doesn't have the right insurance? lol.

perhaps Bob wants to keep things under raps, who knows.
