Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather takes Years, but Tommy Hearns vs. Ray Leonard took only a few minutes!

By Johnny Benz, Doghouse Boxing. - I strongly believe that fans of Boxing have every right to be pissed off over the fight that has yet to materialize, Floyd "Money" Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao. I don't care what the excuses are, or what side is to blame, there is no reason to deny fans with this long of a wait. One such person who believes it shouldn't have taken this long is one of Boxing's all time greatest trainers in Emmanuel Steward. Recently on the BBC Radio Live program, Steward spoke out addressing the fact that a fight the fans want shouldn't take so long to come off.

Steward recalls a fight from the 80's in which fans wanted to see, much in the same manner the fans want to see Mayweather vs. Pacquiao. That fight was with his fighter, Tommy Hearns pitted against "Sugar" Ray Leonard. Now here is the clencher... unlike Mayweather vs. Pacquiao which is taking years to make, Hearns vs. Leonard took but a mere moment in time to put together.

Regarding Hearns vs. Leonard, Steward stated: "I could see something building up, so finally I called up [Leonard's manager] Mike Trainer and said 'Mike, it looks like the public wants to see Ray and Tommy fight and he said 'why don't we meet today?"

Could it really be that easy? Get on a plane that day and hammer out a deal? Apparently, yes!

Steward added: "So I jumped on a plane and we met at an airport coffee shop. Mike Trainer said 'what are you looking for for Tommy?' I said, 'I want $5m for Tommy'. He said 'have you lost your mind? How much do you think Ray should get?' And I said $8m. They were all shocked, they thought I was going to ask for more for Tommy. They stepped out for a minute, came back and said 'pal, you've got a deal'. I shook hands and flew back to Detroit on the exact same plane that I came on - that's how quick the deal was made."

Yes Folks, you read that right... a deal was made that quickly. Not days, not weeks, months or years... but in a few short minutes. In about the time it takes to order a Pizza!

"One of the biggest fights in history was made on a quick handshake in about 30 minutes. There were no egos involved. We knew the public wanted it," Steward went on to add.

You know, it seems there was a time when Boxers knew what they had to do... and that was give the public the fights they wanted to see. No excuses, just get the fight done and feed the fans.

 

I dont see this happening with arum still alive

 

A loss didnt make you a glass jawed hype job who has only fought bums and cans back then

The reason Arum has refused to make the fight is because it would of seriously hurt the way they had marketed Pac - as the guy the best fighter in the world was "scared" to fight

People where buying his fights to see why Mayweather "didnt want to fight him" - hence the constant we fight this guy first then Mayweather after.

 

To the opening post,

Bookies take bets on anything. Dont read into it too much.

 

Pretty much.

As masses of Boxing fans go, they're pretty stupid.

Promoters are very rich men, based on the stupidity of fans, who will follow a fighter to the moon and back, just to see if it's really made out of cheese. :verysad

 

If you go onto William Hill's this fight has been offered lots of times over last few years.You'll also get the likes of Haye-Vitali and that sort of thing.
Think they're trying to tempt people to take better odds because it's not signed.
Fair play to you if something came of it,but I don't see it.

 

Stay away from Abraham vs Steglitz :nono

 

They have been doing that for the past 3 years. Have they also got Haye v Vitali at the same bookies?

 

dunno where to put my vcash :twisted:

 

The worse Pac looks.

The bigger the chances of this happening.

 

all jokes and abuse aside

do you honestly think that floyd won't fight him until he looks terrible? That Floyd is scared?

 

Whoever was around in the 70's/80's got spoiled by the great fights inc Faboulous Four and so on.

 

I dont think hes scared but he was never in a worry to fight Pac when Pac was looking like a beast, scared or not scared with tests or no tests, Pac's fault of Floyd's fault whatever it was we missed out on a great fight that should've happened three years ago when both were at thier best or close to it at this rate by the time the fight happens it will be as meaningless as the Hopkins-Jones rematch.We The boxing fans got screwed big time.

BTW if you dont know what to do with your Vcash maybe you can tranfer it to my account :yep:yep
