I see pple talkin like its already gonna happen. Did they finally agree? Last I heard a final contract was submitted to floyd for review...so did he take it?
Floyd says he isn't getting enough money, so instead he'll fight (insert less profitable fighter here). Floyd Mayweather, The Greatest of All-Time (hypocrite that is).
Megafight can wait untl 2011, says Bob Arum By NICK GIONGCO July 5, 2010, 6:22pm With no response from Floyd Mayweather Jr., promoter Bob Arum plans to do the next best thing: He’s willing to wait, even until next year for Mayweather to make a decision. The Bulletin asked Arum over the July 4 weekend whether Floyd’s camp has sent any signal regarding the middle of July deadline he has set for the megafight with Manny Pacquiao. Apparently, Mayweather and his camp have not responded. “It’s up to Mayweather if he wants to fight this year or next year,” Arum said over the phone from Los Angeles, where the Hall of Fame promoter celebrated Independence Day. Arum made it clear that even if Mayweather decides to sit it out this year, the offer to face Pacquiao possibly in May 2011 stands. If a Pacquiao-Mayweather duel can’t be made for November, Arum will immediately confer with Pacquiao on the prospects of signing up either Puerto Rican Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito of Mexico. Tapping Cotto or Margarito won’t pose any problems since they, like Pacquiao, also fight under the Top Rank banner, thus making it easier for Arum to deal with their handlers. Meanwhile, Arum is proceeding to San Juan in Puerto Rico on Tuesday to lead the staging of this Saturday night’s big showdown featuring Juan Manuel Lopez against Filipino Abe Concepcion. **** this shite make the damn fight already!
dude.****ing weak. they can't expect people to be happy if they say "lol next year!" and put it further back on the schedule. ****ing ******* bob arum. does he expect Manny to keep on fighting while he serves his term as a congressman?
damn bob arum these statements will delay the fight much longer, honestly i think fans are getting tired of this crap
it's all bs from arum using this hype to promote pac/margarito, pac/cotto. Bc pac fans are idiots they can't see, nor care that this was the plan all along. Use mayweather name to promote a fight bc pac won't sell a mill unless mayweather is mentioned. Gumps.
So now Mayweather doesn't have the two weeks that Arum was yapping about on Friday? Anyway, I am still confident that this will be settled and the fight will be on. Hopefully we know by the end of the week.
What a fkn joke... imo Arum NEVER wants this fight to happen... all he talks about is his boys Cotto and Margarito being set for plan B. And if Pac should happen to lose,,, the whole mega-event with Floyd is f---ed.
hahaha still think arum wants this fight done because of the monumental amount of cash that this event could generate but dude i think bob just wants to rake in as much money as he can before pac gets totally consumed by his congressional duties
Yes I agree. Arum will only get to milk a few fights more out of pac with cotto or margarito then, like you said he is consumed by his term or mayweather ends pacs career with a brutal stoppage. This is gonna be less cometative then pple think. I don't have a lot of money to bet but I would probably put like 50 bux down for mayweather.
What happened to the 2 week? what happened to the GAG order? how come one side does all the talking but the other side gets blamed? bull **** be about nothing Bob Arum gets every penny out of his LAW degree from Harvard, because he know can sell water to a Whale tell the Whale to **** himself if he doesn't buy it, if people don't realize this is what he is doing and has been doing for years dude was a political advisor and lawyer for the justice department before he went into boxing
