Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather Disrespect, Poaching Mexican Holiday!

[Real Talk85]

This is perfect for Floyd.

All he has to do is take to the web, which lots of people have access to and ask the Mexican community who they want to see and that will promptly shut down Arum's B.S.

it is not enough that this boring, undeserving duck makes astronomical sums of money by running, clinching, potshotting, ud'ying... he has to make more, more, more... anyone that's getting in the way should be cursed...

this world has turned upside down.

Yep. It's all in the name of pleasing the Queen. They want us to believe people around the globe would only watch it on a Mexican holiday. You'd wonder why it became known as a superfight in the first place.

World has turned upside down indeed. All in the name of bowing down to the Queen.

[Carpe Diem]

How they make a poll and ask the fans which fight they'd like to see for Cinco De Mayo, Mayweather-Pacquiao or Cotto-Canelo? Arum would think it's a ridiculous idea. I bet a lot of Mexican fans would vote more for Maywrather-Pacquiao instead of the latter.

You just went full on ****** and nothing you said makes any form of sense considering:

1.)Oscar said he would move Canelos fight from May 5 if Floyd vs Manny happened so there is no issue.

2.)The Mexican population of the planet would overwhelmingly support Floyd vs Manny over any Mexican fighter vs anyone.

3.)Nothing short of the return of Jesus Christ himself would take precedent in boxing over Floyd vs Manny on May 5.

4.)Floyd has been fighting on these dates solid for many years to no ill effect of anyone, why in the world of logic would this be an issue now? Why would Arum even care about it? He makes no sense at all.

Where was he in '96, '97 when Floyd was dominating?

[Teetotaler]

Yes floyd queef boys. Arum isn't interested in making the fight yet he's talking to cbs ceo about pressuring floyd to fight pac. Get over it floyd isn't fighting on those days anymore

Sorry man I don't understand your question.

[DoubleLeftH00k]

yes, oscar responded to people on twitter saying he would not go head to head against May-Pac

Also, the notion that it would have more sales on another day based on your assessment of fewer fight parties is pure speculation and flat out wrong. The reason that weekend is so desirable to the promoters is solely because it has proven to be the best day for sales regarding boxing PPVs.

aight ill try to search that oscar post if u have it
please post for everyone to see

for me big fights are always big no matter what day u put it in

Okay. So now on May 1st, Floyd can celebrate International Workers' Day. Also known as Labour Day in some places, it is a celebration of laborers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labor movement, Anarchists, Socialists, and Communists and occurs every year on May Day, May 1, an ancient European spring holiday.[1][2] May 1 was chosen as the date for International Workers' Day by the Socialists and Communists of the Second International to commemorate the Haymarket affair in Chicago that occurred on May 4, 1886.[2] This ought to be highly successful - appealing to workers throughout the world. Check Wiki for more info.

He is right though, not so much about disrespect, but May-Pac sells on any date. Canelo-Cotto is the fight that benefits the most from the date, although even that fight would sell at anytime, including June.

I love how Manny fans come out the woodworks to still blame this fight on Floyd. You can bring up Les Moonves all u want, truth is Arum should have went to Espinoza, and Al Haymon is on board for this fight.

Funny any time Floyds ever fought its never been an issue with date or disrespecting, y do u all continue to jump on the wagon of ducks and lies lol, makes me wonder how good u all can actually comprehend this issue
