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

[Check_hooks]

Did Arum try reaching out to Mayweather through the security guard that he assaulted? At least he knows where Mayweather lives and could slide a envelope under his door. Kinda like how the fellow inmates will slide their package in Mayweathers backdoor when he inevitably gets locked up. Dont forget the KY jelly FRAUD!

hes another idiot that thinks down to the level of the ppl he relpies to.

seems so.

----

now i like Mosley, but after two consecutive shit performances he does not deserve this fight.

Mayweather, Marquez, Martinez or bust.

getting sick of dick riders giving a pass to Mosley vs Pac

Mosley vs Berto = winner will have a better claim as a candidate for Pac.

[sNiTcH]

that's fucking ******, you know damn well only ******s would think that

and thats my point look at the *****.

[bigcursedawg]

this is what wrong in boxing

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.

people like arum make me sick and are ruining boxing. it all about the money and i do believe its important because it is a business but it getting to a point that is beyond pathetic. anyone ive talked to dosent want to see a pacquiao mosley fight especially after mosley performance in his last two fights. they need to mke real fights that real boxing fans want to see. if there are more good match ups then it will bring more viewers to boxing which = mo money.

The bottom line is Bob Arum doesn't want to have to share the promotional rights with another firm like Golden Boy Promotions for a fight with JMM. He is right. There is just not enough money to satisfy both promotional parties involved. In addition, the risks far outweigh the benefits in this equation too. That is why making the fight with Shane is the more feasible of the two because Mosley claims he is a promotional free agent and he wouldn't have to share the promotional rights of Shane who isn't so much as a PPV attraction either. Moreover, I shall go one further and submit that Bob is being a bit disingenuous in his assertion that Marquez isn't marketable but yet Joshua Clottey is? This fight would have been signed yesteday if JMM had just so happened to have been one of the fighters in Arum's stable or if he had given him future options on his fights like Shane Mosley is willing to do.

[Mr. Truth]

Dan right... Mosley is better because
Marquez can't draw even 5000, can't make even 2mil payday and can't go up in weigh to win bigger fighters. Marquez is no match for Pacman.. Let him just retire for good....

[maguirre]

If Marquez still insists on a 50/50 purse split, I don't see this fight happening.

Khan may be a viable alternative.

Heres my list in order...

1.Floyd-Not Likely
2.Martinez-Not Likely
3.Andre Berto- no real excuse to not make it
4.Marquez- No real excuse to not make it
5.Bradley- no real excuse to not make it
and a distant #6 is shane but he may not even be that high on my list of opponents for manny to fight.

Bob needs to stop ****in around. NOBODY wants to see Mosley vs Pac. just leave that **** alone Bob

i like this list

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.

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

jrosales13, name one !!

You ignorant *******, who has most likely only been watching boxing since the Hoya/Manny fight and who will be gone soon.....

Name one athlete, from ANY SPORTING CODE WHATSOEVER, who has publicly refused random blood tests, and not been instantly branded a cheat.

In athletic competition, if you win a World Championship, but turn up late for the after-event testing, then you are immediately stripped of your medal and title.

Wow, what a coincidence, Manny's two greatest achievments.....
1.) gaining 15lbs of muscle in less than 18 months
2.) refusing to undertake random blood tests

Wow, what a coincidence.

Team Pacquiao are FRAUDS, and are as dirty as you can get.

Well blood testing is someone new but an ATG boxer refused steroid test(not blood test but a urine steroid test) and didn't get branded as a drug cheat. Maybe a drug addict since he did coke but not a drug cheat.

Do you really not know who I am talking about?

And, you suppose to be watching boxing before I was even alive? I find that hard to believe sir.

How can somebody like myself who has only started watching boxing know that an ATG, 5(really 4) division champ, top 5 greatest WW of all time, refused steroid testing while you watching boxing for 30 years didn't know?

How is that possible?

Leaduppercut, did you find out who I was talking about? Do you want another clue of what fighter refused steroid testing and not considered a drug cheat? But, you don't need another clue right? I mean 30 years of boxing knowledge is by far superior than my 2 years who will be gone soon.

But, tell me you need another clue and I will give you one of who the fighter was that refused a steroid test when asked.

[Blue Heffner]

With better opponents available, there is no reason that Mosley vs Pac should be made. A man coming off a bad performance, that was a draw should not be fight Pac.
