Comments Thread For: Arum: Marquez's Demands Offended Pacquiao, Killed Fight

[gopi11]

Pacquiao: I think I'd like to fight Marquez.
Arum: Did you say Mosley?
Pacquiao: No, Marquez. We have unfinished business and we had two great fights.
Arum: Did you say Mosley, or did I hear you say Miguel Cotto for a rematch?
Pacquiao: Well, maybe Berto. He's a good, young fighter. He's very fast.
Arum: Mosley, that's what I thought you said.
Pacquiao: Bob, I think I definitely want the third fight with Marquez. That's what my coach, Freddie Roach, wants. That's what the fans want. That's what I want.
Arum: So if it's the fight with Mosley you want, then the fight with Mosley it shall be.
Pacquiao: Lock up Marquez, please. Let's get it done.
Arum: Fine, we'll get Mosley, whatever you say. You're the boss. Someone get me James Prince on the phone so we can lock this up.

While Arum was getting Mosley and his adviser, Prince, on the phone, boxing fans around the world were reaching for a barf bag.

Freakin' hilarious! Greenies coming your way!

Arum said twice what he got for the Mayweather fight (3.2mil?)
So around 6-6.4mil, he is surely outpricing himself.

However, I don't know why a guy with a guaranteed 18mil + upside gets offended by that figure.

So is that 6 mil guaranteed, or did JMM get some PPV revenue from Floyd?

Cuz reports say Shane is set to make 7mil, 5 guaranteed.

And again, I don't believe shi t that BOB says.

That's BS spin from Arum. The 5 million request by Marquez was an initial proposal, not a final demand as Arum claimed. It's arum who showed zero interest in negotiating with him all along. Even prior to that when Marquez was fresh off his victory over katsidis and generating buzz as pac's next possible opponent, Arum was busy running around telling all the media outlets that the public wasn't interested in seeing pac face marquez and that mosley was the priority.

No Arum. You steered pac to Mosley because you have a cut on both sides and would promote shane to fight cotto and margarito afterwards (should shane win) ... so more potential big money fights for TR.

Its clear as day.
Marquez fight is bigger historically and financially.
Damn, arum is one slick businessman.

This, pretty much. Yet all the *******s are like "He's overpricing himself" that is so ****** considering how Marquez would be Pacquiao's biggest fight to date.

Bob Arum is one of the most greediest fucking liars I've ever seen. Yet he's one hell of a businessman that's for sure. He has the *******s on a leash.

[V.WEBB]

Bob was NEVER trying to make that fight anyway. It was going to be Mosley or no fight. I think that much was evident.

[Chaos]

Hard to believe Arum that JMM price himself out, Firstly a JMM fight brings more money for Pac because of their first 2 fights, Secondly we havent heard from JMM's side.

And thirdly Arum doesnt want the JMM fight period, He work with Mosley because Mosley has NO promoter, He would have to co-promote a Berto or JMM fight, Which he doesnt want to do.

You're not the brightest star in the sky are you? Both Arum and GB have stated that promotion would not be a problem because GB is willing to let TR handle it. It's in this, and many other articles. Do you deliberately choose to ignore this fact, or do you skip the article and go straight to the comments?

Arum is very old now, I wonder with this constant Bull**** that he'll ever see Mayweather - Pacman while he's still alive.

JMM said he already BEAT Pac TWICE. SOOOOOO, why need a third fight if you got BRAIN?

[Frank Ducketts]

Not the first time Marquez has price himself out. He either doesn't want the fight or is just a complete moron.

JMM has never priced himself out. To even utter or hint that JMM might not want the PAc fight is an insult to any true boxing fan. Get off of Pac's **** please lol...
