Bob Arum On Pacquiao vs. Mayweather

[XaduBoxer]

Im probably saying something unpopular here, but I'm not all that excited about the propect of Floyd coming back. He wants to pick and choose and dictate too much. Floyd is supposedly a 147 fighter, why not get out there and beat some big men? It's all about the money and now there is the opportunity to "comeback" and go for the smaller man again be it Hatton, Pac or Marquez. Get out there and fight Mosley and Cotto for goodness sake!

He's a vulture looking for the easiest meat. And it's boring!!

Don't worry... If ever PBF will fight PAC, I'm sure he can't dictate his terms to PAC... Even the Golden Boy give in so much just to nail the PAC fight and who is PBF compared to Oscar in terms of market pull??
.

Part of me would like each of the 3 smaller fighters to actually tell Floyd to just bugger off. He would have nowhere to go then and might have to fight a proper WW....or he will probably stick to his retirement.

Hatton is desperate for a rematch though. Marquez is right in saying 147 is too much. And Pac is no 147 fighter either. If Floyd wants small fighters then he needs to slim down.

But it's money that talks the loudest.

I only support PAC going after PBF if PAC defeats Hatton more convincingly than what PBF did to Hatton... PAC stopping Hatton inside 9 rounds will do it... But this still remains to be seen...

And you're absolutely right, the biggest money fight out there will be PAC vs. PBF...

That's the thing, Pac has more room to negotiate. Hatton having already lost to Mayweather and wanting the rematch will probably concede things and that will just make his job too difficult. Mayweather already holds the advantages with his skills, he wants everything though, and I don't like it.

Anyway, stop this talk of Pac beating Hatton...keep that for your own thread!
