Comments Thread For: Arum: Floyd Mayweather is Fighting Erik Morales Next

[jqSide]

I have nothing against Mexicans, but what makes promoters think that any fight that involves Mexican fighters, a holiday, or any bait that would attract Mexicans, would guarantee instant hit in the PPV market? The last fight Floyd had had all Mexican flavors in it. Did it break records? Obviously not. Some say it didn't even make the 1 million mark.

I mean what's the big deal about this date when the fighters inside the ring are not exactly what people want to see fight?

One thing I always questioned about that announcement was how they could have a date and venue locked up already when they haven't even discussed anything with Pac's camp.

They reserved the date. That date is a coveted spot, because Mexicans are huge fight fans. I can see how this frustrate Arum,though, but venue can always be change. Arum shouldn't be dismissing the fight the way he does, but rather see it as a positive that there is a willingness to make the fight. What the Mayweathers have said is that since Arum been going around telling the media that the test is a non-issue then, lets do the fight because we are ready, for that was the only issue holding up the fight. All this man (arum) had to say is we'll talk after Nov 12.

What i'm seeing is that the test might still be an issue. Noticed the 24 7 ep 3, how can Pac camp be paranoid about him fighting a possible drug cheat in TWO fights in row and not initiate some sort of protection for their fighter(as in OST)? Pride is one of many deadly sins, to allow anyone whether yourself, friends, family or loved ones to get killed because of pride is idiocy at the highest level. There's something seriously wrong about this, and i have a feeling things are going to get worse, because someone always snitch, always, for it's human nature. I have feeling the camp doesn't want to be tested. Either that, or using it as loophole to dodge the fight. I also feel that Mayweather is genuinely scared that Pac might be on something, and he wants reassurance he's fighting someone who is clean. In that, we might have a stalemate.

If Money fights Eric then that clearly let's us know who is scared of who if this is true I won't be buying this card I don't care if it's the best undercard yet Money won't be getting my money for fighting Eric one more thing Mayweather did not sell the sept 17th by himself he had Erik and Canelo to help him SGTFO with that **** I like both fighters but enough is enough already their both killing the sport by not making this fight.

They better not fight.

[spoonwars]

You guys act like Floyd himself called Morales to make the fight. Golden Boy is just compiling a list of opponents along with different figures to present to Floyd. Just like in years past they presented Floyd with a list of fighters that included guys like Mathew Hatton, Paul Spadafora, Paulie Malignaggi, etc. Did Floyd sign off on those fights? Of course not. And I can guarantee he won't sign off on this. I will make a youtube video of me eating my own hat if this fight ever gets seriously considered. I am almost positive that Floyd will be fighting Sergio Martinez that day.

Wow, that's a pretty ****ty list you have there.

They better not fight.

why not? pacquiao does'nt want to fight mayweather.pacquiao only says that he'll take the testing after he already has a fight signed. he has never said that he would do the testing when he has no opponent.

[Fetta]

So they approached Morales and all of the sudden thats who he is fighting. This is just the beginning of the Arum spin. Maybe hell be on the card again but they wont fight. Thats just ridiculous.

[flint]

why is it ok for pacquiao to fight older fighters and its not ok for mayweather to do it.and mayweather is older than pacquiao.

[bigdaddysback]

Has anyone thought maybe Saul Alvares, his not a little fella but on May 5th that would sell. 147 champ v 154 champ and golden boy would do it..

Why would Mayweather's camp approach Morales in the first place?
