Man it's been a while since I posted something on here but with Pacquiao NOT fighting Mayweather on November, I have some thoughts about this:
Pacman-Mayweather is what the public, media, and probably both fighters want. But promoters like Arum has to put their ego first and tell Floyd when to sign if they he doesn't, they find some other fight just because they want some money out of it. No wonder boxing is a dying sport!!!
If Arum really wanted to get this 'megafight' in the works, why didn't he just talk to Pacman and Floyd's people to agree on when to negotiate for this fight? You can't just tell someone like Floyd when to sign knowing full well that he probably didn't want to talk about it yet. Arum and Floyd may not be the best of friends but that does not stop you from making something like this happen.
You think if Pacman had a promoter other than Bob Arum, may a Pacman-Mayweather fight may still have been a possibility for this year??
I'm guessing this will be a Holyfield-Tyson deal in which they will eventually fight when they are a bit past their prime but it could of happen when they were in their prime!!!!
To answer your question Special K if Pacquaio had another promoter that this megafight between PAcman and Money would happen, I think there would be no other promoters in the world that can do this unless Pacquaio Orginally signed with Golden boy promotions. If Pacquaio had signed with them Mayweather and Pacquaio would happen this year cuz their under the same banner in golden boy. But this is the problem with boxing too many promoters trying to get a piece of the pie. And when you get a bunch of money hungry greedy bastards riding the coattails of these great fighters and who pays for this? That's right us the fans. As Long as these promoter and their "boys" in each fighter's inner circle gets paid then who cares what the fans think.
ReplyDeleteBob Arum is just playing nice to the Mayweather camp cuz he wants this fight done. But Whatever rumors or lies the media feeds of this so called "deadline" Arum had for mayweather, the fact of the matter is that this Fight Will not happen. For How Long you might ask? No one knows and yes Kris this fight can happen after Pacman and Money are past their prime. Hopefully they come to their senses and realize that boxing is bigger than them and if they can check their egos at the door and come to terms to make this fight happen. Everyone from the promoters and fans who will pay $60 for this PPV will be happy and keep this sport alive and well.
screw this fight, its not going to happen. we're never getting inside this club! skylark 10054!
