Comments Thread For: Arum: I Don't Think Mayweather Ever Fights Pacquiao

[peplz]

Wow. Hasn't Bob Arum recently been quoted as saying that there were secret negotiations going on between the two networks and himself to make the fight? Now all he is doing is trying to count Mayweather's money. It all sounds so familiar... "I was lying yesterday but I'm telling the truth today."

[hitking]

He might be telling the truth. Floyd refused to fight Sergio Martinez (at 150) and Paul Williams too.

On the other hand, he refused to fight Margarito, who wasn't a southpaw.

Floyd can never be considered TBE, only his worshipers would ever consider such a foolish notion. Seeking out the best opponents and challenges is part of being TBE. Floyd prefers to pick and choose opponents, which is his choice, but it eliminates him from consideration of being TBE.

Mayweather is not undefeated he lost to Castillo the first time, and even if he were undefeated his record is padded and he avoided Pacquiao and others. Marciano fought E. Charles, Jersey Joe Walcott, and even though he was old, Rocky still fought Joe Louis. Mayweather never fought Pacquiao in his prime. Mayweather never fought the best at 140 or 147, and flat out ducked Margarito and Pacquiao. He also backed out of moving up to fight Winky Wright who was the top dog at 54'.

Mayweather could never be the best of his era... he is three divisions and at least two wins over hall of famers behind Pacquiao...

If you're a Floyd fan who brings up that Floyd offered Pac $40 million, then you obviously can never be taken seriously and you're just here to defend May and not talk with any credibility...

Just think about calling a fighter directly and offering him less than $60 million of what he had been told he could get for the fight without PPV revenue...

CBS/Showtime made money on one Floyd fight lol... I guess one out of four isn't bad... Amir Khan on a U.S. PPV will do nothing for the numbers either will Keith Thurman... I mean The Ghost wouldn't even fight Thurman because he didn't feel he was a big enough name lol...

I wouldn't be shocked if Floyd retires because he doesn't want to fight Pacquiao without having every advantage in the fight (choosing gloves, referee, etc.)... and there are no other opponents who can get Floyd over 1 Million PPV buys...

PPV sales actual and projected:

Floyd v. Maidana I = 850K PPVs

Floyd v. Maidana II = Less than 850K PPVs

Projections:

Floyd v. Amir Khan = 600K PPVs

Floyd v. Thurman = 600K PPVS

Floyd v. Molina = 550K PPVs

Floyd v. Pacquiao = 2Million + PPVs

Still make sense for Floyd to duck Pacquiao?

I'm confident this clown has never had *** with a woman.

Well not if he's like you and the rest of team floydgay, thats for sure.

Who "retired" and who kept fighting top opposition??? That tells you who the a side was in the early negotiations.

May 2011: Manny defeats Mosely (already loss to Floyd, no belt @ WW)
Sep 2011: Floyd defeats Ortiz (coming off win against Berto, WW Champ)

May 2012: Manny loses to Bradley (Bradley coming off a win to Casamayor)
May 2012: Floyd defeats Cotto @ 154 (becomes Jr. Middleweight Champ)

Dec 2012: Manny gets KTFO by Marquez
May 2013: Floyd beats Guererro (WBA interim WW Champ)

Nov 2013: Manny fight Rios (coming off loss @ 140 to Alvarado)
Sep 2013: Floyd defeats Canelo @ 152 (Canelo just beat Trout for title)

Apr 2014: Manny gets revenge on Bradley (Bradley nearly killed by Ruslan)
May 2014: Floyd defeats Maidana (Maidana WBA WW Champ)

Nov 2014: Manny will fight Algeri (Algeri Jr. WW Champ)
Sep 2014: Floyd defeats Maidana (again, bye haters)

Whose fighting the top fighters in the division?

[peplz]

Pacquiao fans love Bob Arum.

[junior gong]

Pacquiao fans love Bob Arum.

I'm not sure why they would, but fook me! You fruity floyd fluffers love yourselves a bit of Lenny and Al the ******, thats for sure!

[Boxing Goat]

Step 1: Say there are top secret negotiations going on, even though they are no longer top secret now because you just blabbed.

Step 2: Wait for Floyd to say nothing is happening which is the truth

Step 3: Say something along the lines of "I used to promote Floyd for a long time and you know he hates fighting southpaws so getting him in the ring with one is next to impossible.

Step 4: Awkward silence about the matter letting the press stew and speculate by which time the fight should be on the horizon.

Start back at step one when then next fight is signed up.

Step 5: Wait for stans from Michigan to come to Floyd's defense.

News flash - Floyd said he was open to the fight live after his last fight and then yesterday says he will only do it is it's on Showtime (knows Manny is under contract with HBO) and if TMT promotes the fight. (knows Manny is under contract wih Top Rank)

Floyd is a great fighter but you and I both know he's a b@tch when it comes to the notion of fighting Pacquiao.

Is it really not obvious to you now? Really? The writing is more than on the wall at this point dude.
