Comments Thread For: Pacquiao To Return on June 9th, Outdoor Venue in Vegas

[jayecalvin]

this is nonsense

Who wants to fight outside in 90 degree weather. 40,000 fans with temporary bathrooms on the vegas strip sitting on bleacher seats?
In order to generate a so called extra 40 mil it would be $1000 a pop for bleacher seats in 90 degree weather with temporary bathrooms.
Lets make this make sense. No one in their right mind would entertain this notion. The date is right and so is the venue. No other fight really matters at this point. As a fan we really need this fight. It is unfair the amount or lies and deceit being dished out to the fans of boxing.
Cotto has never said I can't wait to fight Pacquiao again
Timothy Bradley will most certainly head butt Pacquiao like he does all the time
Lamont Peterson is has never been on Pay per-view. Know one knows who he is really.
Marquez beat Pacquiao in their last fight. But in a fight like that in vegas he would have had to not him out to get the win.
The judges saved the Mayweather vs Paquiao fight and this promoter is coming up with every reason why this fight cannot be made in may.
Then say he will try in in november when vegas has an average Temperature of 55 degrees. SMH AT THIS NONSENSE. THIS WILL TRULY KILL BOXING!

this fight might be tough to make if arum wants to control all aspects of it like the date, venue, investors and so on.
floyd is not a top rank fighter so arum can't bind floyd to a date of his own choosing.
and november certainly isn't a good date. floyd has only fought 4 rounds and jail time doesn't help.

Floyd only fights Manny on twitter not in the ring.

its hard to get Manny to the ring...have you seen or heard from him?!?....why is he hiding?!?

THIS is nonsense

Bradley is 140 pounds- absolutely no puching power @ 140
peterson 140 pounds -absolutely no punching power @ 140
cotto 154 pounds -a catchweight killed him the last time
mayweather -147 pounds blazing fast hand,defense,footwork,
there is only one guy in manny pacquiaos weight division
bradley and peterson are not pay-perview fighters
cotto has not said a word or given the notion he wants to get beat up again buy pacquiao.
Only person on this list who wants to fight is mayweather!!

arum and pacquiao are flat out ducking the fight.its not really pacs fault. arum is in his ear.

[jesusraptor]

To say Pacquiao is ducking the fight IS AN INSULT TO DUCKS.

[David1976]

I do not think Pacquiao is at fault here. Arum is trying to cream him for as much as he can before the final showdown. By the time the fight gets made Pacquiao will be a shadow of his peak form and a well preserved Floyd will pick him off to a wide decision or KO victory.

Why would PAC fight Floyd at the MGM on may 5 when there's 200mil on the table to fight in China. Floyd can't fight anywhere but MGM supposedly so the fight can, t be done until November.

Lets just hope Floyd doesn't book somewhere again to get out of it.

Don't forget the no1 reason thus fight isn't happening is because Floyd is going to jail because he beat up a woman. That's why the fight has no room to move.

Whatever, I'm sick of reading this type of news, if they ever get in the ring it better look like MTV Celebrity Deathmatch, that's the only way to repay the time I wasted reading articles about making the fight, not making the fight, over a span of years.

Sure boxing is a business, Arum still has some money to milk off of Pac but it all has a limit. This has been the epic right fight to do for a long time and they keep playing with the fans nerves. You know, the fans? The ones that buy the ppv's, the ones that buy the tickets? I don't see it happening, that old **** is gonna keep playin it safe not giving a **** about what people want and maybe let Pac fight Floyd when he's 50.
