    Story from the Associated Press (AP):

    http://www.usatoday.com/sports/boxing/2010-11-23-3749892974_x.htm

    *

    Article talks about:

    * The three-year run of Pac generating a fight with at least 1 Million PPV buys (a record he shares with Mike Tyson)

    * HBO says the PPV sales of the Pac-Margo fight exceeded their expectations

    * Pacquiao is the only non-American fighter to generate this level of American PPV success

    * Arum wants the Mayweather fight, but says it's not looking so good because it appears as though Floyd doesn't want the fight

    :bbb

    Arum is a lying scumbag. Unless PBF signs with Top Rank again, he will not put Manny in with him.

    Yeah, why would arum ever want the millions of dollars that fighting mayweather would generate??

    He hates money.

    He can make money with Pac fighting anyone ( as the numbers indicate).

    It has more to do with his grudge against GBP than anything. Like I said, if PBF signed to Top Rank, even if only for 2 fights, this fight would be made IMMEDIATELY!!!

    Arum : "Manny is there, he wants to do the fight, and Floyd for whatever reason is not prepared to fight him, so we have to go on to the next best thing if Floyd remains unavailable," Arum said. "We'll see who's available and what the terms are and then we'll select an opponent. Hopefully it's Mayweather, but as the day goes by, it's not looking good."


    Yeah yeah, is Mayweather not prepared or Arum is still not prepared for this fight? Arum trying all he can do to keep everything in house and then he will put Pacquiao to Mayweather as last fight. Great move, keeping the cash flowing.

    Pacquiao is ducking Floyd Mayweather. The world knows that by now. If only Mayweather has no legal battles to fight, he would be facing Sergio Martinez in March of next year.

    Forget about Pacquiao beating up nobodies, he is bad for boxing. He has never faced the quality of opponents of Mayweather faced such as Carlos Baldomir and Super Zab Judah.

    Floyd Jr. knows Sr. got knocked out by Sugar Ray Leonard. Floyd Jr. thinks Manny is on "Power Pellets" Floyd Sr. thinks Manny can KO a heavyweight. Floyd does not like southpaws. Floyd can't handle a southpaw with speed power and footwork. He is not alone almost nobody can why the #1 and #2 P4P are who they are. Two lefties with speed and power that can move. Retirement and falling short. Sorry Floyd fans. The olympics will be here soon you can find your new fustration.
