Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather is Unreachable; Mosley Over Marquez

[dvb]

arum needs to stop being greedy for himself,do whats best for pacs legacy,that is settle the marquez argument with fight no 3.

manny is a cross over star,he draws in the money himself,or he should be doing,and marquez is still a big draw in mexico even if not bigger than others,i bet at the moment he would be the biggest draw from mexico.

floyd is first choice,but floyd doesnt want it or whatever at the moment.

manny should want to settle marquez if not floyd,a catch weight of 145 for the weigh in. pac will prob go up to 147 fight night,marquez 145/6 fight night,and thts more fair than floyd was to marquez!.

mosley is 3rd choice,he lost his head and forgot the gameplan thts why he looked so bad after round 2 in floyd fight,shanes weakness is having too much power and if not knocking someone out he chases the knockout all night,and loses on the cards if it doesnt come.

mosley beat mora,the worst style fighter for him to face,even when mora *****ed out of trading with shane,and with shane at light middle too.

shane still has good speed,a great chin and knockout power,although he does struggle with speed and movement agiasnt him,and marquez pac has more history there,so thts why shane should be no 3 choice.

berto is to green and i dont think he is a big name at all either.

martinez is a god dang middleweight!.big ass light middleweight!.
bradley isnt a big enough name,not good enough either to pose a geniune threat.
pacs order of fights should go:

so pac vs maquez,(while mosley faces berto,he beats up and KOS berto.)

then pac vs mosley if still no floyd.(while marquez fights soto.)

then if possible pac vs floyd happens and would be pacs last fight whatever the outcome.

run kfc run

******* misses the point as always...smdh

I can understand some of Arum's points, but there is no way Mosley would outsell Pacquiao-Marquez III. I think Floyd carried out the PPV for their fight. And the public knows the bad blood between Manny and Juan.

[p4p-champ]

Pacquiao and his team are pathetic, wake me up when the Mosley fight is over. Marquez skillz topx any guy Poochiao has fought in the last 3-4 years.

[BoxingGEN]

Mayweather-Mosley--1.4 Million Buys
Mayweather-Marquez--1 Million Buys

Mayweather-Mosley--11.1 Million Live Gate
Mayweather-Marquez--6.8 Million Live Gate.

Both were dominating performances for Mayweather. Except for 1 big difference, Mosley hurt Mayweather, while Marquez was knocked down and shut out.

Numbers don't lie. Mosley is a bigger B side opponent and a better Welterweight.

That was before Mosley gotta his ass whooped..so why fight Mosley now after taking a L to your rival then really losing to a damn boxer from contender lol be foreal..Mosley aint selling nothing no more

Marquez is a better fighter than Manny will ever be.

Manny is just big and fast, now - I wonder why that is ?

He is hardly a technical wizard.

And, still curious about that blood-test business......

In 30 years of watching sport, I have never heard of an athlete refusing random blood tests, without being instantly branded a drug cheat.

I know boxing is business first and after a sport but come on! dont make it so obvious, this is getting ridiculous and is in every sports, all come down to $$$, the passion for competition and self probe is long time go with the years that never will come back.

Do you imagine your feeling for a doctor that you go for a check up and before ask you how he can help you, he ask you if you have the money to pay the check up?

Simply sad.

^^ this right here..money changes everything all sports seem like that now a days its terrible..and its crazy boxing has become about the numberswhich will lead to its demise well not demise but dark age the same way selling so many copies instead of have a great album did to hip hop..people just wanna see great fights

Am i the only one who would prefer Mosley at 147 over JMM at 147???

Seems kind of silly for Juan to fight Manny at 147. I think JMM will be effective at 140. So that fight should be a 140 pound fight. Manny can still make that.....but at 147.....meh.......i'd rather see SSM and Manny get it on.

Shane still has concussive power. Even at this late stage if he "shows up" he is a big threat. Forget the Mora fight....Shane is ineffective at 154. Always has been. Also he likes fighters who come to him and trade. Manny will do this at some stage. Manny can't fight backing up. It's a good fight.

they can fight at 147 don't mean JMm n Manny will come in at that weight PAC would come in at 140-142 and JMM 138-140 Marquez is a better opponent for Pacman who wants to see Mosley!

[BABYBOXER]

so i guess boxing isnt even a concern for arum, it's all about finding a name that casual non boxing watching fans can recognize, real nice.


one of the more compelling fights and arum wants to pick names instead of match ups.

i have to say this, if guys are avoided by big named fighters, then how is the casual non boxing watching fan ever going to know who they are if they aren't getting the big fights.

besides, manny should be able to promote this fight, you could put him in there against collazo and the place would sell out.

as much as i like mosley, the old adage of waiting til someone is on their way out for pacquiao to fight them is becoming more and more obviously true.

fight JMM and settle the score, this is getting ridiculous..

arum cares **** about boxing, he cares about fleecing the fans, nothing more, i am no 100% convinced, not that i needed to be.....

you're d@mn right, this is how boxing business works... there are very few true boxing fans to please, while there are millions of ordinary/casual boxing fans. i agree with your thoughts..

Bob Arum is a selfish, lying, manipulative, piece-of-****.

that made arum rich and famous...

Seriously doubt Mayweather is unreachable, Bob Arum should admit they're never dropping the testing under 7 days and aren't exactly trying too hard to make the biggest fight ever. Rather fight Mosley, typical arum.

if floyd really wan'na fight manny, there's a way (a phone call, perhaps)...if he does'nt wan'na fight expect lots of excuses....(ost drug test, on vacation, going to jail, etc...)

Pacquiao is a hype job, finally someone exposed this bum.

is it possible that a bum is the #1 lbs 4 lbs boxer? stop the hate, dude, you'll feel better..your brain will work better..

Pac should fight May and nobody else.

let's wait until floyd finishes his vacation, perhaps he got his balls back by then..

Then I doubt you have watched the sport in 30 years.
