Bob Arum: Manny thinks Money May would be an easy fight

:rofl

top rank make so much effort to point out who they hope to be pacs next 3 opponents when as Arum says Manny knowns styles and it would be an easy fight:nut. Ok wouldn't it be just easier work to to openly announce they submit to usada/wada and take an easy fight for a cool 50 ish mil or more? Nah, cos it easier to earn 20 million a fight by taking on the likes of those mentioned.

 

When did the discussion turn to VICTOR ORTIZ?

Jordan knows the sport very well...no denying that. And he is my all time favorite player. But, he seems to not know how to transfer his talents and intellect off the floor to help put together a winning franchise. He is more of a "do it this way"..."no, no, no...not like that (Kwame :yep)" atsch "let me insert myself into the lineup and I will show you", type of guy, it seems. There are other factors at play, I'm sure. But, that is a broad assessment.

With Pac you can see that he is also better at DOING than GUIDING. Much of the reason is he is gifted athletically and is able to do things in an unorthodox manner, that cannot be taught. Compare that to some of his assessments of fights. Example (and I am paraphrasing a quote I recall from last year), "I think Mosley can't beat Mayweather because he...uh...(thinking)...throws a lot of punches and hits hard." atsch Sorry, but, that deserves an immediate cue to the 'Black Mamba' to utter his award winning 'YDNSAB' mantra.

 

Jordan is like a lot of great players, **** that came natural to them they don't understand how some people don't understand it. Jerry Rice is the same way.

There is a different between being a great player and a great teacher.

 

:rofl

 

Does Arum forget to mention. "Money" Adjusts to EVERY kind of fight! His style changes everytime! The only thing you know for sure is he wants to counter you !!!

 

You believe Jr wanted OSDT! He didn't know what it is and still doesn't!

 

The problem is the neither Floyd nor Manny's legacy is dependent on them fighting each other. They both already have great legacies so there is no real sense of urgency to risk damaging what they already have. Yeah, a win for one of them would seriously enhance their legacy, but the risk-reward ratio isn't right at the moment, from a boxing perspective. From a financial perspective, they should have a lot of motivation to fight. But it's not just about the money, for either of them, which is a good thing.

 

Also, Manny's legacy could probably absorb a loss to Mayweather. But Floyd has a major obsession with his '0' and if he lost that, he would feel like he's lost everything, at least until he gets the perspective offered by the passing of time.

 

I can't picture the Bobfather calling Floyd "Money May"

 

This is coming from the guy that did a reasonably good job hyping Butterbean as a legit champion of something.

 

I'm pretty sure Manny isn't guilliable enough to think this is an easy fight.

The only person Manny has had trouble with these last few years is Juan Manual Marquez. Mayweather is a bigger, stronger, faster and even more elusive than Marquez.

 

He seriously can't answer a question on subject.

If you look at the press conference from about 12:00 the journalist asks him about Ortiz's aggression and how Mayweather was landing the lead right at will. Floyd starts answering on subject but starts to completely digress and ends with "You can bring Floyd Mayweather anywhere worldwide because that squared circle is my home" and a stare to the same journalist as if he's just answered his question completely in relevance.

Bottom line is this....PAC and Arum on consistently putting out the message that they have conceded to ALL of the testing demands Floyd wanted. For anyone who likes taking Koncz word over PAC's....you are setting yourself up to look the fool. It's like taking Oscar's word over Floyd on any "Floyd related issues". All this "he said, she said" bull **** only muddies up the waters. We have audio, video and print of Manny addressing the testing issues and he's adamant about agreeing to all the Floyd requirements. It's safe to say PAC is not the one causing this fight to be held up in limbo....that would be Mr. Money himself who is the culprit but of course there will be those few who take "Money May" at face value.

 

Threads on this **** should just get deleted until the fights signed. Its so ****ing annoying seeing the same back and forth arguments between (for the most part) grown ass men, its all been said before now, nothings new.
