An Unbiased Look At Pacquiao-Mayweather

[FaustoGeraci]

Cotto took a lot of punishment in those fights. So I don't understand your question.

That they gave Cotto more trouble than Mosley did, and that was before they fought.

[Khalid X]

My point is that if a drug enhances endurance, why would a boxer not use it if he can get away with it? And I'm not even talking about Pacquiao specifically.

because there are alternatives that are both legal and have no side effects. Yeah they may get away from it, but they still won't escape the consequences thos drugs have on the body in the long run.

Again any athlete that does blood doping and uses EPO when there are things out their that get them the same benefit with no side effects....its a complete dumbass and deserves whatever happens to them.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

I doubt it. He would lose a UD because Cotto is a better boxer as he proved vs Mosley and Shane has no answer for Cotto's jab.

Floyd would of never fought Margarito. He chose Baldomir. What the **** are you talking about?

Cintron is fighting Paul, and since Floyd is the "P4P Picasso" and self admittedly better than "Sugar Ray Robinson ever was" he should have no problem fighting Paul right? Oh that's right, he's soft. Which is why Paul has more respect for Manny than he does Floyd, as does the majority of the boxing community.

Go look it up:

He chose Baldomir because Arum had other fights in that Marg contract. Hatton and Cotto fights and Floyd didnt want to be locked in to a 3 fight deal with money he didnt like with Hatton and Cotto so he fought Baldi for the Lineal title and more money.

Why do you keep mentioning Floyd with Paul?

Berto, Shane, Cotto, Floyd and Pac want NOTHING to do with The Punisher. Stop singling out Floyd.

That is not true.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

That is not true.

Prove me wrong then.

Arum said that out his own mouth. He said Floyd wouldve took the Marg fight if he liked the money that Arum offered him for Hatton and Cotto fights. Look it up.

Many in the sport believe a De La Hoya-Mayweather fight is the biggest fight on the horizon and the only one capable of generating 1 million-plus buys on pay-per-view.

The reason Mayweather opted for the buyout rather than waiting for the May 6 result was because the contract had a limited window for the buyout, one that expired before the De La Hoya fight.

However, Arum said he would have extended the window if Mayweather had asked.

What Arum wouldn't do, he said,was raise the guarantees for other fights outlined in the contract.
($10M Miguel Cotto and $10M Ricky Hatton)

Arum said while Mayweather would have taken the $8 million to fight Margarito, he asked for a $10 million guarantee to fight opponents such as Miguel Cotto and Ricky Hatton, when Arum was only willing to guarantee $7 million

Like I said.

[B.U.R.N.E.R]

Are we done here?

[jrosales13]

Prove me wrong then.

Arum said that out his own mouth. He said Floyd wouldve took the Marg fight if he liked the money that Arum offered him for Hatton and Cotto fights. Look it up.

No you should look it up this is how it went.

Floyd was going to get a guaranteed 8mil to fight Marg in August. Floyd and his team had the excuse that they would not be ready for a fight in August cuz of a hurt hand that was suffered against Judah.

Then hs said he will fight Marg for 8mil if he could get a guaranteed 20mil for Oscar and a guranteed 10mil for Cotto and Hatton. This is Floyd team asking this. At the time Floyd was not pulling in big PPV numbers and Cotto and Hatton were not draws. So he didn't think he could guaranteed 10 but guaranteed 7mil for both guys.

Arum didn't think the Oscar fight would of been as a big as it was. He made a mistake there and he was wrong. If he would of known he would of guaranteed that.

So Floyd and his team boughtout the contract for 750k becuase the deadline of when he was able to buy out his contract was running out. However, since you want to quote what came out of Arum mouth. You should also mention that Arum said he would of been willing to give Floyd an extension of that same deadline give Floyd the guaranteed 8mil for Marg and then after Marg Floyd could of boughtout his contract if he would of chose too.

Again, look it up.

There you go. Which is exactly what I said.

For Jrosales13:






Like I said.

So you just going to ignore the part about the deadline extension that Arum was open for?
