Just over a week away from Pac/Clottey and all the talk is Mosley/MAY

Quite telling, really. I can't stand Floyd, but he really is a master at promotion and making waves in the media.

 

Or ones a super-fight and the other is not.

 

You are actually one of the loyal defenders of Floyd here. How can you say that you can't stand him?

 

Well, even taking that into consideration, you would think the fight getting more talk would be Pac/Clottey, simply because of how close we're getting to it, and the twist of having it at Cowboys stadium.

 

what the **** are you talking about? Find me a post where I have defended Floyd, please? I'm usually shitting on him and his legion of ******s.

 

Pacquiao is fighting a handpicked fighter that many never heard of, and they don't have much time to promote it. The winter olympics ate up a big chunk of their publicity. Mayweather is fighting arguably the top WW and a guy that most boxing fans are very much familiar with. Mayweather is doing a hell of a job promoting the fight as well. He's everywhere saying **** that has people talking(both good and bad).

 

That's what I'm saying. However, to use the term "handpicked" for Clottey is a little overboard, considering he was the most viable Welterweight to be chosen at the time.

 

Not to mention that March Madness starts right afterwards on the 16th. And the Tourney Selection Show is on the 14th, which means all the Sports Pundits will be devoting their energy towards that ****.


It serves Arum just right to lose this much money just to see his cash cow get stretched out.

 

floyd paid of tim smith and greta van susteran aka fox news.

Pac doesn't need these ******ed journalists to promote his fight in Dallas.

 

As mentioned on another thread Arum probably isn't promoting it too much because advertising costs money and he's already going to be raking it in at the gate with 45K people showing up.

 

PPV $ are where the real revenue stream will come from, there has been an pathetic amount of advertisement for the fight -- regardless of how legitimate or viable one may believe clottey to be.

 

Clottey was definately handpicked. Not to say Clottey isn't a good fighter, but he was certainly handpicked by Top Rank to come to Dallas to lose. Nobody was asking for this fight. Top Rank has definately stacked the deck against Clottey as well. He's training in some rinky dink gym with a 64 year old part time locksmith as his trainer/cutman/handwrapper. He doesn't have a real corner for this fight, and Arum has essentially ignored him.

 

are you still expecting Arum to pull some strings and get Clottey's trainer out of Ghana?

 

I am going to literally cry tears of joy, like I'm watching Amistaad or something, when Clottey overcomes the odds and shocks the world by putting Pac into a deep sleep.


I can't wait.

 

Who else at 147 could pac have chosen that would be considered viable? Not saying Arum isn't notorious for incestuous fight matchups, but really, Pac certainly deserves praise for "high risk, low reward" category.
