Comments Thread For: Emanuel Steward: The Public Won't Buy Pacquiao-Mosley

[WESS]

LOL @ Steward telling it like it is, "Pacquiao jumping weight divisions and demanding and getting catchweight concessions from foes is all played out by now".

WHAT'S EXPECTED

1. Pac vs Mayweather AT 147 for WW title and "undisputed" P4P #1
2. Pac vs Martinez AT 154 for JMW title
3. Pac vs Berto AT 147 to unify WW titles

Worst case if those cant be made:

Pac vs Alexander/Bradley AT 140 or 147
Pac vs JMM AT 140

No catchweights! Fight the best at the respected weight class. How hard is this? Mosley doesn't fall under the best, and JMM at 147 doesn't fall into the category of fighting the best at the respected weight class as JMM's last fight was at 135 lbs.

Pac didn't even win his WW title vs Cotto at 147. Yet now he's demanding to fight AT 147?

Top Rank better choose wisely!

I'm a hardcore fight fan, but I refuse to pay for another Pac fight unless it's against PBF. Arum's got enough of my money already.

if you want pac/mayweather, then go get floyd...he had the opportunity to make it happen way before the racist video rant and the domestic violence with his ex and kids and all the other stuff that followed.

and now that mayweather/pac dont look so promising, *****s will say "well, floyds got legal issues you dummies"...

well, like i said, floydie couldve made the pac fight happen if he wouldve just signed the contract before he went on the video racist rant and all the other stuff that generated 8 counts of felony/misdemenor

Pacquiao is now what Fraud Mayweather Jr. is to this sport isn't he. All about the money and not the legacy anymore.

Been a fan of Manny's since 1997, but this one hurts. I thought fighters had more pride and wanted to fight the best out there. Mosley showed his age in his last 2 fights, while Berto and Marquez still showed there quality fighters.

lol @ your post, and all of the other "pacquiao fans hurt" right now....it is what i've been saying it is. boxing is a business, and fighters will fight, not necessarily the most dangerous fights, but the most lucrative ones.

thing is, you dudes have been blinded by your hate for floyd for so long, that when he did it, you called it "ducking."

now even bob arum is tired of you nuthuggers.....he had to come out, and tell it like it is, and now all of you who thought pacquiao was some kind of "diety" and above it all, are now "hurt".........welcome to reality. SMH

If Marquez isn't a PPV fighter, how dod Mayweather get well over 1mil buys against him? - c'mon that makes no sense- Marquez is just as much of a PPV fighter as Mosely, especially at this point in their careers when Marquez is still a top 5 lb 4 lb fighter, and Mosely is obviously past his prime.

i agree. good post.

[indystress]

so the first marquez/pac fight was a war and candidate as FOTY...so why did it only generate 400,000 for the 2nd fight? *****s said noone wants pac/clottey because clottey is over rated and unknown, but yet it generated 800,000 vs 400,000 for the 2nd pac/marquez fight.

its obvious that the clottey/pac generated more interest than pac/marquez #2...and im sure mosley/pac will generate more interest than pac/marquez #3...if it was up to me, i'd rather see pac/berto...im thinking it will do better than pac/marquez #3, maybe in the 750,000 - 850,000 buys range...thats about double what the 2nd pac/marquez did.

as much as i hate to say it, its more about what makes more sense income wise, although pac has fought the best available competition in his last few fights since hatton.

emanuel is a old idiot !!!!! mannys fight will sell regadless of whos name is attached as an opponent/ victim !!!!! manny has reached mike tyson levels !!!! people will tune in just to watch a bloodbath that manny will provide

Says Clottey.

[deejd]

Respectfully Mosley is not a PPV fighter....he was on ESPN and regular HBO for years and years until he fought Cotto. SSM vs Margarito didn't make PPV either.

Shane is not a drawcard and never has been.

Glad you brought that up... you forgot to mention that Mosley looked very ordinary on ESPN against lesser opposition as well.
