[flint]

Can't even believe there are still people who defend Mayweather. He's dumping all these roadblocks and it's Arum's fault.

here's your roadblocks *****.won't do testing,politics,ear drum.dates,states,cut eye,out door stadium,and now 50-50.pacquiao is ducking.

So nobody can confirm the email is real.

Trust me. If Floyd ask for that bob would have ran with it. He would have used thar for his reason for not making it yesterday.


Boxing media stinks. Only a few good writers and journalist. The 1s with the name are straight up garbage.

Floyd is one of my favorite fighters and I despise Bob Arum. But this is one of those rare times that I agree with Bob.

There should be a 50/50 split because Manny would bring just as many fans to the fight as would Floyd. Manny is not only a boxing superstar, he’s a sports and entertainment star. He’s known around the world, as is Floyd.

While Manny can’t this much money off any other fight, the same holds true for Floyd ?he can’t make as much money off of any other fight.

This is the biggest fight in boxing because both fighters have large, ardent followers. Both are champs and would put their titles on the line. 50-50 sounds right.

Pac agrees to OST
Demands Floyd to fight on March or not fight at all
Floyd agrees to fight on March
Pac goes back on his word on the OST and decides he wants a 30 day cutoff.
Floyd gives him a 14 day cutoff.
Pac fights Clottey in March

Floyd reserves May 5th.
Pac can't fight on May 5th because he suffered what has to be the worse cut in the history of the sport.
Pac gets sentence for January 6th to 3months.
Pac wants JMM on May 5th
Floyd doesn't go to jail and gets an extension till June 1st.
Pac cut opens up again, the stadiums, and blah blah.

How can anyone defend Pac is beyond me.

You gotta be kidding me. You're most likely one of those who would believe anything Floyd says.

More like: Floyd pretended that he wanted Pac. Pac responded he can't fight on such date because he's into politics. I don't see any reason why that's unacceptable to a "challenger". You want the fight, then accept the other sides' initial terms. And so the date was negotiated -- March -- only to be presented with a roadblock. Pac eventually agreed to the roadblock, then it's no longer on the table... and so on and so forth.

Man, stop this ******ity.

Arum talking aout he was shocked manny wanted 50/50 what about when he said he would take less??? so Arum really wants Manny to do 60/40 with mayweather meaning Pacquioa gets the bigger split!lol! Mayweather makes 15-20 million more than Manny each fight. Manny gets a 20 million dollar purse while his fight might generate 70 million total that means its still 50 million that bob puts in his pocker for himself. when a Mayweather fight generates 70million he gets 40million. that"s why i say if you dont know your value, you're a slave.

Bob arum has really annoyed me of late, with his running around and being silly and greedy.


But bob arum i agree with you on this point

Most of that is what Pac said and then later backed out.

Love when guys call you a ***** or say stuff like that. Hilarious.

[Beast2009]

Boycott their fights, don't give them any of your money...make them fight each other!!!!

I couldn't agree more. As painful as it will be for me as a boxing fan...neither will get another penny from me until they make this fight happen!

[flint]

pacquiao really screwed up when he said that he'll fight may 5 with a 50-50 split. there's goes bob arums nasty cut excuse.
