Comments Thread For: Arum: I Don't Want Anything To Do With Mayweather-Pacquiao II

[aboutfkntime]

LAS VEGAS His involvement in the first Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao fight was more than enough for Bob Arum. The 86-year-old Arum, who was Pacquiao's promoter when he fought Mayweather in May 2015, told BoxingScene.com on Saturday that he "doesn't want anything to do with" the Mayweather-Pacquiao rematch Mayweather stated Saturday could happen by the end of this year.

Arum would be on that fight like shht-on-a-blanket

he 100% knows that Pac will cut him out, and he won't be involved

I know that Arum ROBBED Pac on the first fight, and I had proof

but after quoting that proof the 2nd time, it disappeared lol

I saw an article where Arum slipped that he was going to write Manny a cheque for "25mil on Saturday night"

in a 200mil fight..... where 60/40 meant that Mayweather would make $120mil and Pac would make $80mil..... how is it even slightly possible to mention $25mil??

it obviously had nothing to do with the PPV back-end, because that takes months to calculate

Manny made a 25mil guarantee, plus the PPV back end..... which I estimate at about $40mil..... which is ironically what Mayweather offered originally

let Arum rot in his own stink

be really good for Manny to make a HUGE payday before he retires, because I think he needs it

ironically, Mayweather told Pacquiao that he would make him rich if he left Arum

Gotta be a tough L for Bob to swallow. How many Crawford and Lomachenko fights would he need to put on to equal the amount of money he'd make off Pacquiao in this rematch?

Where do you think this fight is going to happen anyway? Pac has tax issues in the US and Floyd only fights in Vegas.

Mayweather-Pacquiao 2 is a joke.The first fight was total borefest. There is zero demand for a rematch. I'm not surprised Top Rank doesn't want to be involved.

As much as I hate the idea of a rematch, I'd love to see Manny make $50 milliom or so without Bob taking a significant chunk of his purse.

There are reports out there that Top Rank was taking as much as 30% of their fighters' purses on occasion. I can only imagine what was going on with the Pacquiao arrangement.

Of course Arum doesn't want anything to do with it, if he isn't making money on it. ****** effiing thread.

Wasn’t Manny about to sue Arum and isn’t he still salty that Mayweather left him and made all that money on his own. His reaction is predictable, take it w/a grain of salt.

Arum saying he doesn't want anything to do with a payday is like a fly seeing a pile of **** and saying "meh, I'll pass."

It doesnt have to be in the US for the fight to have an attractive start time.

I don't think they're serious but we've seen crazier stuff lol

I guess, if they can make some good money that would be great but I don't know how much excitement there would be for it. There was a pretty big backlash after their first fight.
