Pacquiao vs Mayweather 2012

mukhang tuloy na to.. sana wag nang umatras si Mayweather!

Arum makes U-turn, wants Pacquiao-Floyd Jr in 2012 - GMA News Online - The Go-To Site for Filipinos Everywhere

Bob Arum is suddenly singing a different tune. The Top Rank Promotions chairman has now set his sights on Floyd Mayweather Jr. to be Manny Pacquiao’s first major opponent in 2012.

Initially, Arum was planning a fourth meeting between Pacquiao and Marquez after another controversial ending in their November 12 fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. The Filipino boxing star eked out a highly-disputed majority decision over his long-time Mexican foe.

But all that has changed.

“I think our first choice is to do Mayweather, and our second choice is (Juan Manuel) Marquez,” said Arum, while presiding over Miguel Cotto’s open media workout in New York City.

Cotto is in the final stages of his training camp for his grudge fight with Antonio Margarito for the World Boxing Association (WBA) light-middleweight championship.

Recent events revealed the camps of both Pacquiao and Mayweather Jr. resumed talks to finally seal a deal that would make the mega-fight a reality.

And although Arum was once lukewarm on the idea of making the fight, which is being billed as the biggest in the history of boxing, the veteran promoter is not about to stand on its way right now.

“We want Manny to fight Floyd, he is our first priority. If Floyd isn’t available or the negotiations fall through, we will go after (Juan Manuel) Marquez,” he said.

Arum added that interested third parties had already sent feelers of investing on the fight projected to cost a minimum amount of $100 million.

“We have different investor groups approaching us who want to do the fight, and we have time to sort it out,” said the Top Rank big boss.

But Oscar De La Hoya, of rival Golden Boy Promotions, belittled Arum’s statement on his Twitter account.

“Hahaha. Bob Arum is saying there are a bunch of investors he’s talking to try and make PAC vs. Mayweather. I can’t stop laughing,” said De La Hoya without further elaborating. — JVP, GMA News

pano ba tumaya sa online casino/betting?

Pupusta ako ke Mayweather

[shadow]

Hinde si mayweather ang dahilan bakit hinde natuloy yun laban nila, now that ariza has spoken and del Hoya si arum pala ang may ayaw matuloy nag laban dahil hinde under sa kanya si PBF.

Ngayon lumalabas na ang totoon kulay ni arum ayaw niya ilaban si packy sa mga boxers ni golden boy dahil hati sila sa kita in virtue of the settlement before wherein packy signed 2 contracts, kaya blackmail nangyayari sa mga gustong lumaban Kay packy dapat magsing din ng contract kay arum.

Guguluhin nanman ni arum nd konz itong Laban para hinder matuloy

Huwag kayo maniwala diyan Kay arum double talker yan, iba ginagawa sa sinasabi. Puro press release pero ayaw making negotiate Sa CEO g golden boy

Lahat ng boxers na PPV superstars umalis na Kay arum and they made more, si packy lang yata nag mag retire na under pa rin Kay arum.

Mayweather has no contractual obligation with GBP as far as negotiation is concern. GBP only promotes Floyd fights.

Besides camp ni Oscar ang pasimuno nyan blood test na yan, then worsened by Sr. PED accusation on Pacman. GBP lying that the second negotiation that was mediated by Greenburg never happened don't bode well on them.

Schaefer can keep his mouth shut this time, he better pitch in some money. If he want's piece of the pie, because if Floyd likes the green he sees they'll be out of the picture.

[jansky]

asa ka dyan
Arum = Greed
gusto lahat ng kita sa kanya mapunta ayaw ng may kahati

[_Qwerty_]

ayaw talaga labanan ni Mayweather si Pacman.. ayaw matalo...

[shadow]

Pag may Laban pala Si PBF, hiwalay bayad sa kanya and team mayweather. So Ang guaranteed purse solo niya

Best part is lahat ng napupunta sa GBP every-time he fight eh mapupunta lahat sa kanya if GBP gets dropped on this negotiation.

More money for Floyd.

Floyd's jail sentence puts superfight in jeopardy - Boxing - Yahoo! Sports

Floyd’s jail sentence puts superfight in jeopardy

A judge floored Floyd Mayweather Jr. on Wednesday before Manny Pacquiao could get the opportunity to do it in the ring.

Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Melissa Saragosa sentenced the pound-for-pound boxing champion to 90 days in jail following his guilty plea on a 2010 domestic violence charge, further delaying a mega-money bout between the sport’s two greatest stars.

A Mayweather-Pacquiao bout could generate more than $200 million and earn each man in excess of $60 million, but it will have to wait a few more months now after Saragosa unexpectedly let the hammer drop on the boxer known as “Money May.”

Mayweather’s millions couldn’t keep him out of jail despite hiring a pair of high-priced Las Vegas lawyers, Richard Wright and Karen Winckler, and agreeing to plead guilty to lesser charges.

Saragosa sentenced Mayweather to six months, with 90 days suspended, and ordered him to pay a $2,500 fine, attend a year-long domestic violence class, perform 100 hours of community service and remain out of trouble for a year, largely because the incident occurred in front of his children.

The decision once again puts the sport’s potential biggest fight in decades, which has been talked about since Pacquiao defeated Miguel Cotto in late 2009, on hold.

Saragosa’s decision also likely made either Juan Manuel Marquez or Timothy Bradley a lot of extra money. Top Rank’s Bob Arum, who promotes Pacquiao, was considering Marquez or Bradley as alternatives in case negotiations with Mayweather broke down, as they have so frequently in the past 25 months.

Arum refused to comment on any aspect of Mayweather’s situation on Wednesday, including his thoughts on how the sentencing would impact Pacquiao. But with Mayweather unavailable, Pacquiao almost certainly will meet either Marquez or Bradley in bouts that would have nowhere near the luster or garner the kind of worldwide attention that a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would.

There are many who insist there hasn’t been a more anticipated fight in boxing since the first Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier fight on March 8, 1971.

There have been hundreds of significant bouts since, but there are far fewer stars in boxing now than there were during the 1970s and 1980s, and Mayweather and Pacquiao have become larger than the sport itself.

Arum, who once said that he didn’t want it on his epitaph that he was the reason the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight didn’t happen, was in no mood to speak about it Wednesday.

“I just want to wish you and your family a very happy holiday and other than that, I have absolutely no comment on anything,” Arum said.

A spokeswoman for Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer, who has promoted Mayweather’s last five fights, said he left the office after hearing the news. He did not return telephone calls.

Mayweather had planned to fight on May 5 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Though Winckler indicated Mayweather is considering an appeal, if he goes to jail on Jan. 6 as ordered to begin serving his sentence, he likely wouldn’t be available to fight until sometime in June at the absolute earliest.

Because Mayweather was given credit for three days of time served, if he served the full sentence, he would be released from the Clark County Detention Center on April 2. A top-level boxer needs a training camp of at least eight weeks – and frequently 10 to 12 weeks – to prepare for a major bout such as one against Pacquiao.

Most likely, Mayweather, who turns 35 in February, will wait for the fight until either September or November. The three biggest dates of the year in boxing are generally the first weekend in May, coinciding with Cinco de Mayo, the middle of September for Mexican Independence Day and then in early November.

It is not uncommon for boxers to serve long jail stints and then come out and be successful in the ring once again. Former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson served three years in prison after a 1992 conviction for rape. He regained the heavyweight title a year after he was released.

But Mayweather, who is 42-0 with 26 knockouts and one of the sport’s great defensive fighters, will be at a much more advanced age. Tyson was 26 when he was released from prison. Mayweather, who will be 35 upon his release, is a fighter who relies greatly upon speed, quickness and timing.

Speed and quickness often decline in boxers once they reach their mid-30s, but the effects of imprisonment may accelerate that.

Mayweather, though, has been a physical fitness fanatic who has never weighed as much as 160 pounds in his life and has treated his body properly. He doesn’t drink or smoke and is particular about what he eats. That should help him maintain his form longer than most, but he’s human and he’s subject to the effects of aging like anyone else.

Before he worries about that, however, he must serve his time. An appeal would likely drag on even longer, making a Pacquiao bout less likely.

Mayweather and manager Leonard Ellerbe declined comment upon leaving the court Wednesday, but the fighter will have to consider whether the appeal is worth the risk of putting off the big fight for good. The longer the appeal drags on, the more likely that the fight never occurs.

Saragosa didn’t necessarily KO the fight with her ruling on Wednesday, but she did put its prospects on life support.

Now, it’s up to Mayweather to decide whether the fight is worth spending the first quarter of the new year at the Clark County Detention Center.

Should Mayweather Jr. be unavailable, possible opponents for Pacquiao includes Tim Bradley or a rematch wth Cotto.
