Pacquiao vs Mayweather 2012

[_Qwerty_]

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.

Walandyo,- laban na....

Peterson in race as next foe of Pacman

MANILA, Philippines - Bob Arum yesterday said Lamont Peterson, the reigning IBF and WBA junior welterweight king, is definitely in the running as Manny Pacquiao’s next opponent.

“Yes, he’s in the mix,” the Top Rank chief said.

“I like Lamont and I’m friends with his manager and we once promoted him. Lamont is a very nice young man,” he said.

Arum was on his way to San Antonio for a press conference announcing the Feb. 4 card featuring Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Nonito Donaire when he spoke to The STAR.

The 80-year-old promoter will arrive in Manila on Jan. 10 to sit down with Pacquiao regarding his plans for his next fight.

The who, when and where will be tackled, and Arum said he expects a clearer picture to come out by the time he flies back to the US on Jan. 14.

Arum said he gave Freddie Roach four names to choose from – Juan Manuel Marquez, Miguel Cotto, Tim Bradley and Peterson.

These are the candidates, and whoever gets lucky gets to fight Pacquiao sometime in May or June.

“That’s correct. Those are the four names,” said Arum.

“That’s why I’m coming over,” he added.

Arum, who promoted American daredevil Evel Knievel in his ridiculous Snake River Canyon jump in 1974, said he wants to find out from Pacquiao himself when he wants to fight.

“May and June are two different months. So, we’re holding on to the MGM Grand for those months,” said Arum.

Arum was asked which fight would be easiest to sell among the four, and he responded by saying, “That’s what we’re trying to figure out. That’s what we’re going to discuss.”

Marquez, definitely, will be the easiest to sell, and the one that should make the most money because of the great history between the Mexican and Pacquiao.

But there are those who say there’s nothing more to expect in a fight between Pacquiao and Marquez because it’s going to bear the same result.

Oscar dela Hoya said there’s no need for a fourth fight because nothing will change – even if Pacquiao and Marquez fight a hundred times.

“I think everybody already know what’s going to happen and what will happen. So, what for? There’s nothing better than Marquez can do, and there’s really nothing better than Pacquiao can do. We’ll going to see the same fight,” said Dela Hoya.

Arum also said while he’s already set his eyes on Pacquiao’s next fight, he still believes that Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather Jr. will happen this year.

“In November,” he said.

Maybe in the latter part of 2012. not on May.

[_Qwerty_]

after Mayweather jail time was postponed to June, and said he is willing to fight on May.. now, here comes Arum.. saying Manny will fight in June.. wtf! ayaw ba talaga nyang makalaban si Mayweather?? Arum knows best my ass!

June 9 or 16 next fight for Pacquiao

MANILA, Philippines - Bob Arum is looking at June 9 or June 16 as the date of Manny Pacquiao’s next fight.

For the Top Rank chief and promoter of boxing’s hottest star, it may be the right time. But to some, it may be a little too late.

“Medyo matagal kapag June,” said Pacquiao’s legal adviser, Atty. Franklin Gacal, yesterday.

But since Floyd Mayweather is fighting on May 5, following the suspension of his jail term from January to June, then there’s no other choice.

Mayweather is looking at Canelo Alvarez and Robert Guerrero as his next opponent.

“If Floyd has got a lock on May 5 in Las Vegas, then that leaves us with no other choice but to fight in June. Mr. Arum knows that,” Gacal added.

Pacquiao also wants to fight in May.

In fact, he said he wants Mayweather as his next opponent so the fans can get the fight they want, the fight they deserve, and is willing to get the smaller share of the purse just to get it done.

But Arum said the other day, as news of Mayweather staying out of jail broke out, that Pacquiao should consider fighting later than May.

Arum said Pacquiao may need a little more time so the cut he suffered in the fight against Juan Manuel Marquez last November fully heals.

If Pacquiao fights in June, that’s seven months after his last, a close and controversial decision against Marquez.

Pacquiao fought Joshua Clottey and Antonio Margarito eight months apart in 2010, and was busiest in 2008 when he did Marquez, Ricky Hatton and Oscar dela Hoya all in nine months.

The four names that Arum gave to Freddie Roach remain the same, and Pacquiao needs to choose from among Miguel Cotto, Tim Bradley, Lamont Peterson or Marquez.

Pacquiao said he will fight Marquez a fourth time if he is guaranteed $28 million.

Some say Arum doesn’t want Pacquiao vs Mayweather to happen, ever, even if the 80-year-old promoter had said the superfight can take place in November this year.

But not May.

He also said the other day it’s not wise to hold Pacquiao vs Mayweather at the MGM Grand in May because of the limited sitting capacity of close to 17,000.

Arum had mentioned the plan of putting up a temporary arena along Las Vegas Blvd., one that could house close to 40,000 fans. But the plan needs more time to materialize.

Pacquiao has fought twice in Dallas where the Cowboys Stadium can accommodate a live audience of more than 100,000. Vegas won’t let that happen – again.

Besides, Vegas is the boxing capital, the gambling capital of the world, and there’s no place on earth that could match its excitement, with all its casinos and the millions to generate.

If it’s Pacquiao vs Mayweather, it has to be Vegas – period.

So, it seems that Pacquiao will fight in June, in Vegas, but not against Mayweather.

Arum knows best.

Now we know kung sino talaga ayaw labanan si PBF. **** arum!!!

[oliver1013]

Tangna to si Arum nag alangan to sa kakayahan ni Manny dahil sa poor showing sa JMM. Natakot to ilaban si Manny kay Floyd dahil alam niya mataas possibilidad matalo. Kung matalo si Manny kay Floyd, tapos ang maliligayang araw nila.

Btw sa mga choices nila pwede ba tanggalin na si Cotto diyan..parang wala nang dapat pang patunayan e..si JMM naman pagasa niya lang ma at least knockdown niya si Manny which is next to impossible so most likely, counterpunch boy lang talaga to tapos controversial decision nanaman..kakasawa na.

[Retz]

in November according to Uncle Bob. Tune-up fight in the meantime for Pacman.

[rollyic]

if im not mistaken, nabanggit dati nila roach at ariza na kaya ayaw ni arum na magkalaban sila mayweather at pacquiao kasi hindi nya masosolo ang kikitain. gusto nya ang mga makakalaban ni manny yung under sa management nya.

[_Qwerty_]

that's true.. kaya ayaw nyang hayup na si Arum eh kasi hindi Top Rank si Floyd.. so hindi nya solo yung promotion.. ang tanda tanda na mukhang pera pa din..

so hanggang hindi nya nagagawan nang paraan yan.. hindi matutuloy yang laban na yan.. gusto nya siguro papirmahin nang contract tong si Floyd para parehong under sa kanya.. swapang talaga hayup!

kung ako kay Manny.. sya na lang gumawa nang paraan para makalaban tong si Mayweather.. pag si Arum ang inasahan nila.. wala pareho na silang matanda and past their prime.. bago matuloy yan..
