Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[Evol]

Yeah, arum made pac-ODH. so. what about all the fights he let marinate or didn't make? He failed to get cotto v canelo done and he kept releasing the same "close" reports to the media.

Come on man, don't do this to yourself.

bu bu but i thought cotto is a BOSS for being a free agent. manny so ******. now its arum's fault? LOL

But every one involved says his comments have the opposite affect-that it derails the fight from getting signed. That's why some posters are concluding he is blocking the fight.

Why? Who really knows. Maybe its a control thing. Maybe he doesn't think Manny will win. No one rational can accurately assess irrational actions from an irrational person.

i dont get this maybe he thinks manny wont win comment. did u forget manny went life and death with marquez 4 times?? LOL!! if bob have any doubt of pac losing i dont think he'll put manny in with marquez 4 times.

bob did that because he knew the fight would sell, and thats all he cares about. why do u make it seem like bob will only get pay IF manny wins? LOL. win or lose, bob will get his cut from what was agreed upon.

why are posters like you incapable of changing your opinion as more information becomes available? you keep going back to stuff from years ago.

It's 2015. The reports from all involved, regardless of affiliation keep pointing the finger in one direction. Yet you still wont budge.

But if some BS blogger reported Floyd facebooked cotto you'd rush to NSB to post that shows he doesn't want fight and is making a cotto rematch. Geez.

wtf???? u blamed arum for not making cotto/canelo so im asking u how is that arum's fault when cotto is a free agent. thats the one thing u guys praise cotto for, remember?

I like your optimism. What can we, the people, do to make this happen? After all,"WE" are paying these two to watch them to fight

theres really not much we can do as fans at this point, just wait. these guys will fight or not fight regardless. they are on the way to retirement and have guaranteed money when they fight.

you got people on the edge of their seat looking up news on this fight and the guy giving out quotes is bob arum. if anything, he just a promoter putting on a show with the message of yea things are looking good. the other people involved, hbo show tr mp, don't like it because it does not give them an out if they cannot agree.

mayweather is not only a fighter but will be the primary promoter of the biggest fight in decades. as you all know he is a control freak and very meticulous about money, so i will give him some leeway if he think he has to be the one to decide on everything from price of hot dogs to the broadcasters. if he truly is trying to build a Mayweather promotional company, this fight will be big for his resume.

I didn't blame arum, I simply pointed out how he said the same things he is saying now and that fight fell apart.

Look dude, there is no point to discuss any of this with you. You will not allow yourself to take into the equation any of the information we've received this week. You wont accept what all the parties involved, except Haymon, are saying about the effect Bob's leaks are having on the fight.

You want to blame Floyd no matter what. You take pride in being stubborn. While the rest of us, regardless of which fighter we like, are doing just the opposite.

Why did floyd retire in the first place?

Why did he come back?

What did he say as the reason he came back to boxing?

Floyd fans keep ignoring these questions I posted long ago.
