Comments Thread For: Arum Feels Fans Will Move Past Mayweather, Pacquiao By 2017

[Combat Talk Radio]

I moved past it May 6th 2015. Most of us did. Delusional Pac turds are the only ones who haven't.

Showtime is showing MayPac on their app for free. I watched it again because the first time I was on the HBO broadcast.

I saw the same thing I saw the first time - 4 rounds for Manny. He wasn't trying hard enough.

Round 11, Mayweather showed he COULD have gone out there and just been tagging Manny all night long, he just chose not to.

I moved past it in terms of looking forward to the exciting fights that we've got coming and enjoying the fights we've seen since that day.

That's what people don't get - if anything, boxing has somewhat "reset" since their retirements. We're back to boxing on free TV and we're starting to see some real good contenders step out of the shadow of TBE.

Right now no super-stars to make the casual forget about those guys

Sure there is.

Nobody passed the torch to Pacquiao or Floyd. They went out and took it. This line of thinking is ******. Who has Crawford or Thurman beat to deserve a shot at Pacquiao or Floyd? And before you ask who did Berto beat to deserve a shot at Floyd the answer is NOBODY. Floyd earned the right to go out on his own and fight Berto, as well as Manny earning his right to go out fighting Bradley.

I get tired of these writers trying to downplay the accomplishments of Manny and Mayweather. NONE of these fighters today deserve to be in the same gym as Manny and Floyd.

These fighters think they can p*ssy foot around and win the Manny/Floyd sweepstakes. Show me the Emmanuel Augustus on Thurman's resume. Show me the Ledwaba on Crawford resume. Those tough fights early in your career where you gotta prove your worth against a tough veteran who is never an easy out. None of these fighters deserved to fight Pac or Mayweather!!!!!!!

De La Hoya passed the torch to BOTH. They both were doing 350K buys on PPV - UNTIL they beat Oscar

He didn't pass the torch to them. They took it. Nobody gave Pac and Floyd ****. Show me any fighter with a resume today that matches Pac's an Mayweathers when they got the De La Hoya fight?

These clowns aint even lineal champs. This is Crawford's first time fighting a true 140lb champion. Who the **** has Thurman beat? These fighters aint did nothing. They don't deserve the opportunity to take the torch

We already did.

i got over it the day after the fight. Been a boxing fan for a long time and have seen my share of disappointing fights

Couldn't have put it any better myself ... honestly

[IronDanHamza]

This is the first time since 1998 that neither Floyd or Pac are on the P4P list.

I hope so! Keep seeing threads about Mayweather for some reason even though he is retired and somewhere buying Jets or whatever the *** he is doing that I really don't care about

I don't miss EITHER to be honest already moved up and look forward to see new stars continue to emerge and grow.
