Question On Arum: Would Arum Cut Pac Loose To Fight Mayweather?

You seem to have answered your own question.

 

All together now....


HELL NAW!!!!!!!!:deal

 

for the good of Boxing, the human race and the world. This fight has to happen

 

Absolutely not, and if Pac indicated that he may be leaving (and had a legit option to leave), this fight would get made immediately. Arum will get his part of the pie...

 

I'm confused. You're saying it's not realistic that Arum would let Pac go, but then you're asking if he would let him go. Maybe I'm reading your scenario wrong. From your scenario, I don't see any incentive for Arum to cut Pacquiao loose.

 

Arum will kill Pac before he lets that happen. And miss out on all that money (like he did with DLH-Floyd in 2007)?????


NO!!!

 

Man, if I was Pac and it came to this level of disrespect, I would just say "**** the fight."

Why would Pac have to leave his promoter?

You don't think that's ridiculous?

This fight will make even more money due to Floyd's behavior in the ring against Ortiz. He is the ultimate villian.

This fight may make double of what it would make before.

How could this fight not happen if Pac manages to get past Marquez?

This is what the fans want and what the fans are willing to pay for...

 

So after the drug testing issue is settled, Arum is the next problem. Is this the last roadblock? Do the *****s support Floyd's stance here? :think

 

I agree. However, it's interesting to note that both Marquez, and Mosley had to leave their promoters in order to get a fight with Pacquiao. Bradley had to leave his promoter, ditch the Khan fight, and get blasted by everyone as ducker just get in line to get a shot at Pacquiao.

 

Wow, your story is very distorted. Bradley left his promoter over money...

I didn't see any demands made by PAC that those fighters had to leave their promoters.

Can you offer some proof that this is the case?

 

When has Arum ever given the slightest bit of indication that he gives a damn about the health of the sport (aside from lining his own pockets)? Why in the world would he suddenly become an altruist on this matter when it goes against practically everything he's done as a promoter?

 

No, there's still no incentive in it for Bob. Bob is a ruthless business man. He's not going to voluntarily let Pacquiao go just to watch him make a ton of money against a guy he despises, while gets no piece of the action. Now, If Pacquiao were let out of his contract, but had to give say 20-30% of his purse to Arum regardless, then we have something to talk about.
