Comments Thread For: Arum: If Pacquiao Looks Good, Mayweather Bout Can Happen

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum believes that if �Fighter of the Decade?Manny Pacquiao shows that he�s back in his �Clash in Cotai?against Brandon �Bam Bam?Rios in Macau on November 24 then a fight against pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr can happen.

Arum was guest on Australia�s 1116 SEN Radio on the program �Evenings with Mark Fine?which on Mondays also features well-known Australian boxing promoter Peter Maniatis.

Arum said �The only major impediment is that Mayweather now fights for Showtime and Manny for HBO?but cited a precedent �when they had the same situation years ago where Lennox Lewis was an HBO fighter and Mile Tyson fought for Showtime.?br /> [Click Here To Read More]

Sounds like bob Would suck off Oscar to get the fight done. He really wants that money lol

[HanzGruber]

here we go..

[WouldYouKindly?]

Yup, here we go indeed. Bob trying to sell PPVs by pushing the Mayweather-Pacquiao hype again even though Floyd is already making $80M a fight and doesn't need Pac to make serious dough.

This is the part where some ******* comes in and tells me that he needs to fight a dude coming off two losses for his legacy.

does Arum really think people still believe him?

[hanzoh74]

yeah if they both on their 40s and slow

[Boxing Goat]

Manny should have to take 2 fights, look good in both and then it can happen.

I would still love to see it.

I do have a feeling that Arum is trying to cash out Pacquiao though and I know I'm not the only one.

[Weebler I]

Yeah, they're milking what's left of the Floyd v Pac hype. GBP will milk it too if Pac looks good v Rios. Can't see them actually fighting any time soon.

[KickAzz]

What does this fight accomplish? Pac is past his prime already.

[LouIE G]

It will happen
