Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather is Plan A, Pacquiao is Ready To Go

[DE100]

How do you have a sitdown like this and not ask a follow up question like "Would you contact Al Haymon since Mayweather has gone on record and said to contact him?"

^^^^^^^^^^

[Reloaded]

Because they scared

Team Pac is more than scared , they having multiple panic attacks .

[mathed]

Both Floyd and Pac are jokes....boycott their fights until they are forced to fight one another.

Please go hang yourself!!!

make me....heheheeeeee

I heard last week that May 19 was going to be the date for Pac v. Floyd. Floyd will agree to change the date so Arum can have the fight in his stadium.

But all that talk about an extra 30 million is crazy. He'd have to charge a thousand each for the 25,000 tickets. And I don't think anyone is going to pay that much to sit in the cheap seats.

As much as I hate Arum, but that guy is a genius in filling up stadiums and making money. It's not crazy, he will make a way to profit out of those 25,000 tickets. A fight this magnitude requires MORE seats as many should witness a fight as rare as this.

Who cares if GBP called Arum.....since Floyd is the man and doing his calling out, he can reach out to Arum directly and tell him who is representing him. I'm sure that phone call is worth over 30 million. Or he can text message Arum like he text messaged Pac. I want to hear from Mayweather. He is at least 10x more truthful than anyone else talking to the media at this time at 100x more truthful than Arum.

Bob as a business man will try to keep the money for himself. That's the reason why he is building a stadium. He is doing what he can to do away with GBP and convince Mayweather that doing away with GBP means more money to Floyd.

Agree, Floyd should talk to Todd or Bob if he really wants to fight and not let GBP handle it.

For all Bob's experience, he can carry this fight with or without GBP.

"mayweather has his cell number"

ROFL!!!! Green K!

Judge Saragosa: "Punishment is appropriate," Sentencing Mayweather to 90 days in Jail, sentence set to begin Jan. 6.



Bob Arum: "I'm not married to May 5th, so Manny could fight on another date in May. If Manny's opponent is Marquez, I'd be married to the date"



Judge Saragosa: "Mr. Mayweather has an obligation to this court, but given the fact that Mr. Mayweather has these obligations, I am going to grant your request." Referring to fight obligations for May 5th date and postponing jail time to June 1st. This occurred the day Floyd was to commence his Jan 6 Jail sentence.



Floyd Mayweather: "Manny Pacquiao I'm calling you out let's fight May 5th and give the world what they want to see. My Jail Sentence was pushed back because the date was locked in. Step up Punk."



Mann Pacquiao: "I am meeting with my promoter, Bob Arum on Tuesday and I will insist that the fight with Mayweather be given the preference than the four others in the list I will fight next. That I will abide by his demand for drug testing. I am even agreeable to get lesser purse just so the fight would push through. In other words, as far as my side is concerned, there will be no problem"



Bob Arum: “Manny has a severe cut, which Pacquiao suffered in a November win over Juan Manuel Marquez, which would prohibit the Filipino star from fighting until late spring, at the earliest.”




Bob Arum: "They are not going to get him [Cotto].”Arum also doesn’t appear to want Mayweather fighting one of his guys WBA junior middleweight champion Miguel Cotto.



Micheal Koncz: "Why would I tell Manny to fight on the 5th and throw away a percentage of 30 million? That’s crazy,” Referring to a new temporary stadium being built just for a potential Mayweather - pacquiao fight.



Freddy Roach:"They do take time to heal, but I don't think that's a big issue, to be honest with you," Roach said, recalling how during his boxing career he suffered three cuts in a fight, each of which needed about eight stitches, and fought a month later. He also said Pacquiao would be OK to fight May 5



Bob Arum: "I want to hear Mayweather is willing to fight on June 9th, and then we can put a fight together between him and Pacquiao"



Jinkee Pacquiao:“He wants Cotto.” she told philstar.com referring to Manny's decision when he met with Arum regarding his next opponent.

What a fuckin comedy show, I can't believe people still believe these clowns.

You are so typical and have no business sense what's so ever. That's why you have no ****ing clue and only here what you wanna here.

You follow a fighter who is about as ****** as it gets and lies half of everything that comes out of his mouth. Why the **** should anybody have to do it Floyd's way? If it's not Floyd's way then people are ducking??? That's all you got....

Forget all the articles and read like it is. He has no intentions on fighting Manny and trying to put out some BS tweets knowing Manny's camp wont' take a May 5th fight. It a ****ing bluff that he knows Manny won't call cuase it so rediculous. He's got fight set already and just trying to cover his ass. F***obvious.

Idiots like yourself can't read between the lines cause you haven't been around the block long enough to understand Floyd's chess move. You're a amauter at best so it makes sense that you believe Floyd's non-sense.

You summed up everything about Floyd and his followers. The best part is IF IT'S NOT FLOYD'S WAY, People are DUCKING. According to *****s, Floyd didn't duck Margarito, Cotto, Paul Williams and etc. It was a smart business move not to fight those welters.

If my memory serves me correctly didn't Mayweather/De la Hoya do like $18.000.000 with 18,000 in attendance? $1000.00 per seat? If these numberss are even remotely close, why couldn't an extra 25,000 seats generate another 25 million? We don't know. Imo, the cheapest tickets will probably go for $500 retail and I wouldn't be surprised to see these tickets go for a G the night of the fight. This is the biggest fight in terms of Money and PPV in the history of boxing. The buildup to this fight will be 10 X that of May/Oscar.

Question whether or not Arum really wants this fight, but if Arum is sincere about the fight NOW then if I'm Mayweather I'd compromise and let him build his stadium and fight a few weeks later in May.
