What do you make out of this? Bob Arum: 50/50 Split, Pac vs PBF is on!

[Mar]

It cracks me up how everyone talks about how crappy floyd is yet it's supposed to be this big feat to beat him. Floyd doesn't fight people his size, he runs, cheats, blah, blah so beating him doesn't prove crap. The whole boxing world has this huge hard on for the guy, this division is so deep with good fighters yet they all want to fight the same(what they call) crappy guy who isn't even champ. Paul williams is basically calling out eveyone and no one answers why Cause that fight is too tough for the amount of money, or the challenge too big ?? The same answers people use on floyd they don't want to use for thier own fighter. Some guys catch shit for it...but they all fight the easiest fight for the money.

I've seen plenty of people criticizing Floyd's opposition, but I've never seen anyone claim he wasn't a great fighter in terms of skills.

Floyd does not have the balls these days to fight a guy at the top of his game.

So now Hatton was shot when he fought him, right?

[NUCLEAR BULL]

hatton wasn't shot..........but he's a limited fighter who was smaller, slower, very easy to hit............mayweather was huge favorite to win that fight and he did very easy

Yet idiots from the Uk were saying he was going to win

Granting PAC and PBF will accept a 50/50 purse split, how to make this fight when PBF has a signed contract to fight JMM??

My conspiracy theory will be this; PBF is injured all right... JMM will then declare he can't wait for PBF to heal and go ahead to fight someone else like for example Edwin Valero... or Joan Guzman...

PBF now free to fight PAC on Mexican Independence Day weekend in September... What happen to PAC-Cotto then?? Well Cotto needs more time to heal his split eyebrow...

Very simple and easy...

Nice theory. It may well happen.

[AdamGB]

fighter who was smaller

Hatton has never been below 140 pounds.
When PBF beats Pacman will people say that Pacman was too small too?

I'm with VD on this one, PBF fought Hatton because that was what the public wanted... for months if not years he was accused of ducking Hatton, he had the guts to fight all the way up to 154 without the need to mess about and get the guy to come down to a catchweight to do it.

2/5 is not a huge favourite in a two horse race, Mayweather was in with a man at the top of his game.

[NUCLEAR BULL]

ok at the risk of upsetting some mayweather fans..............to some degree it was who mayweather was fighting that brought in the money not prety boy himself..........de la hoya is the biggest ppv fighter of the last 10 years and HE wanted the fight so got it made not mayweather.....also ricky hatton his hugely pop so again that played a big part in the buys...its not PBF, infact not many people even find mayweathers fights watchable, hes borring

no one of any intelligence would say that pbf is a bad boxer. who says he cheats? he does run (or from a different perspective - fight defensively) and he hasn't fought one legitimate welterweight contender in his three years at that weight, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't be favored in a fight with anyone in or around his weight class.

i think mosely and williams would give floyd a harder time than pacquiao. that's just me.
