Here goes the Bob saying "Boxing Fans don't worry me, it's the casual fan that counts". As much as I hate Arum, I think he has a point there. And as much as I love Marquez, is it true that he ONLY sold 4,000 plus tickets in the live gate this weekend? Oh my what a star he is! atsch This shows only Floyd crosses over all sports and media whenever he fights and makes his elite opponents look mediocre. http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news;_ylt=Ao3Aro6uKZCvCDuX4.Z1azSUxLYF?slug=ki-pacfoes112710
I think Marquez has the same mentality and motivation too by calling Pacquiao. The MOOLAH. It's all about the money. All of them. I don't blame Pacquiao if he faced Mosley as he is the most bankable at the moment. Floyd Mayweather was the only one who was pure and brave enough to say it to the world that Money was the biggest factor in every big fight a boxer gets into. This I hope will be realized by most boxing fans here. Boxing is making a living. Anyway, let's see how Pacquiao reacts when he does get hit with Mosley's right hook that shook Floyd and Floored Margarito.
Pac is an idiot and wouldn't be getting low-risk, high-reward fights without him. Mosley is the logical choice from a financial standpoint after Mayweather.
It was obvious from the moment Mosley signed to Top Rank (just before Pac fought Margarito) who was being lined up for Manny next!! I love Pac as a fighter but i'd seriously consider boycotting Pac vs Mosley, it would serve Arum right if all the real boxing fans followed suit. Let him see how much the casual fan gives a ****.
Margarito / Clottey is low-risk , high reward? :huh Arum is just using him to cash in as much as possible. Pac should wait for Floyd to finish up with his legal bull****, and try to make the fight with him. Arum is a greedy ******* and he's ****ing it up for everybody.
Pac should just wait when he can make 25 million facing Mosley? atsch You talk as is you are the one who gives him food on the table. Wake up! It's all about the financial standpoint, the poster Casa above is right.
Pac can't wait for Floyd. He needs to make money while his star is hot. Remember the Mayweather vs. Cotto and Margo fights of a few years ago that never got made?
This is why I think the Pacquaio vs Mayweather fight is never going to happen because THEY CANNOT POSSIBLY make the fight any bigger than what it would be now ! Why would they risk fighting other fighters if one of them lost goodbye HUGE MEGA FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!
Here's hoping we see Mosley, Bradley, and then Berto next year. I'd be fine seeing Mosley Bradley and Marquez too. I'm sick of this two fights a year baloney.
