Arabs offer Mayweather $120 million to fight Pacquiao!!! Take the money!!!

[Vendettos]

If the offer is real, we'll find out if Floyd is up there with the greats.

If he refuses 120 million to take this fight he is truly a fraud.

[Max Power]

No amount of maney will matter. He will never fight him. Even if he makes the fight he will always find an excuse to pull out.

Indeed. Then we will have to question some suspect shit with his cherry picking with Al Haymon at the centre of it all.

It's not like fraud or corruption is new to boxing. And if you get more money for going soft on him than you make for your actual purse- considering Floyd makes sometimes 20 or 30 times more than his opponent, and for no good reason- then we have something to investigate.

mum, me hands all numb

[ykdadamaja]

Floyd has not been in a REAL fight since Ortiz... a real fight. Everyone after and a few before was nothing but soft fights- obviously soft fights.

Maidana gave a good performance worthy of a rematch, but the second fight was not the way Maidana fights.

This could very well be true. I've heard Dubai is in the mix. They are doing everything to put themselves on the map since they are running out of oil and have done a great job. I'm sure the rules could be made where Floyd could get his hands numbed up. Will Vegas do anything to retain Floyd or the other way around. Mannys side will probably look at it as more good exposure for boxing but the fight would have to happen at a weird time in Dubai to keep it on American PvP. What time is it in Dubai, if it's past noon there I can drink now.

"Dubai"

"Arabs"

Just put any "superstar" boxer along with those into google and see how many fights have happened over the years. It's always bullshit. I can remember a dozen or so years ago when Tyson was fighting there every other month.

I can only think of Eubanks Snr fighting over there and that was not a high profile contest.

I read floyd has sent an offer to pacmans team and pacs team have made a counter offer. If this is the case the fights not going to happen pacman should just take whatever is on offer and if he is as good as he things beat floyd, then rematch and he can make the demands. Pacman and his team know they can't beat floyd IMO and just want the payday.

Let me fix a little bit of your assumptions here: First Dubai is a City in the UAE {(7) on the list oil reserve} . The UAE has a proven reserve of 97,800 Billion Barrels of Oil. List of countries by proven oil reserves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The world wide consumption of oil is ~32 Billion Barrels of oil a Year. I don't think they are in a danger of running out of oil anytime in next 10 lifetimes, unless the world becomes less effecient by 35 times. Newer Technologies can extract oil from the ground but are currently uneconomical that would boost US (12) 26,000 MMBBL to over one trillion MMBBL. So anything that you have heard or read that says the world will run out of oil or our kids will not have oil is either a complete fabrication, something from the 50's or spouted by someone that has no idea what they are talking about. Dubai is all about ego. They want the biggest and the best to say they are the biggest and the best. Take a look at the first works for 2015 on youtube. PPV is how the money is made, why would a site venue do something to make less money? If the offer is real, and there is no bidding war and Vegas doesn't compete, I'm not sure Floyd can turn it down.

Just so you know I am only going by what the ruling family of Dubai said in an interview on 60 minutes here in the US. They said they could not depend on the oil revenues so they wanted to turn it into a financial capital. If they were for some reason lying that's on them. I was merely going by what they said directly, I did no further investigation on Dubais oil output. @fan johnny actually, Dubai itself has very little oil. Oil revenue makes up only three percent of its GDP. If you look around you can find many reports on the state of oil in Dubai proper. Mind you, I'm not looking to debate you, as I said my info was based only on what the ruling family said and another report in the Economist magazine. As far as how the UAE divides up its wealth I know nothing about but much info is out there on Dubais oil concern. I will look further into it though.

Yea your right, they don't depend on Oil and I don't think ever have. I only commented because of the misconception they are running out of oil. A big chunk of what they earn is from tourism. It's one of the free countries in the region. The familes in the region compete with all kinds of shit in thier cultures. like friends showing off thier new car.
