Arum says he can put together a fight between Pacquiao and Cotto or Margarito within 10 days

By Jason Kim: For what it’s worth, Floyd Mayweather Jr. still has around 10 days to speak up and agree to a fight with WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s Top Rank promoter, said that he can put together a fight between Pacquiao and Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito in 10 days or less.

If Mayweather can move quickly, he still has a chance to get ahead of Cotto and Margarito to land the mega fight with Pacquiao or November 13th. The chances of that happening are pretty remote as of now. Mayweather missed Arum’s deadline tonight at midnight to agree to a fight against Pacquiao.

Arum now says he’s taking Pacquiao and moving on to negotiate a fight against either Cotto or Margarito. Arum isn’t saying which one he’ll select for Pacquiao to fight next, but some people think it will be Margarito, as Cotto has already had a chance against Pacquiao last year in November and was a miserable failure, getting stopped in the 12th round by Pacquiao in a one-sided fight.

If Arum selects Margarito as Pacquiao’s next opponent, the fight will likely take place in Monterrey, Mexico rather than the United States. Margarito lost his boxing license a year ago after a plaster-like substance was found in his hand wraps before his fight with Shane Mosley.

Margarito had no luck recently when he attempted to get his boxing license back by applying to the Nevada Athletic Commission.

Arum’s mid-July deadline was never responded to by Mayweather, who ignored Arum completely. Arum said that he wasn’t negotiating with Mayweather one on one. It was Ross Greenburg, president of HBO Sports, who was interacting with Mayweather’s management.

If it does take 10 days for Arum to negotiate a fight between Pacquiao and Cotto or Margarito, then there would be an outside chance that Mayweather could still speak up and take the fight with Pacquiao but again it’s not likely to happen. Mayweather seems turned off by the negotiations right now and is doing his own thing.

Hopefully, if Mayweather fails to speak up in the next 10 days, it doesn’t continue into next year in May when Arum has said that he plans on trying to renegotiate a fight between Pacquiao and Mayweather. There’s a ton of money to be made in a fight between Mayweather and Pacquiao, and that’s reason enough for Arum to continue to try and put a fight together between Pacquiao and Mayweather.

    @JesusJones MAN UR RIGHT ABOUT THAT FLOYD FANS TALK AS MUCH SMACK AS FLOYD YET WHEN IT COMES DOWN 2 IT THEY PU$$Y UP FLOYD CALLS HIMSELF THE BEST YET HE ONLY FIGHTS FEATHERWEIGHTS HE NEEDS 2 FIGHT REAL WW LIKE COTTO,CLOTTEY,WILLIAMS ALL WHO FLOYD PU$$YED UP AND RAN INTO RETIREMENT

  • bottom feeder says:

    When Floyd pac fell apart before, Floyd fought the #3 ranked guy, Shane Mosley. Floyd won. Pac since the fight fell apart this time, do the same and fight the #3 guy Paul Williams.

  • Bernard says:

    You may be able to put these fights together ,But only because Mayweather is ducking Pac Man and most fans know this fact. .

  • R J Hill says:

    Give the fight to bradley, or have bradley fight Cotto for the priveledge.

  • ABHONDA says:

    fraud is a coward!

  • kray says:

    @JesusJones – OK…HAYSUES. You see it your way, and I see it mine. Follow Arum down this path along with Manny, and see where that gets you, dude. I’ll tell you where. Two BS fight that the fans don’t want to see. Yet, Arum wants you to see them. Why? Because, he makes 54%, off the top, as opposed to 27%. It’s called ROI, for money he will spend on PPV, etc.

    Jeff, basically, revealed that the TEST was NOT AGREED TO, by Floyd. And, that the ‘precious’ lawsuit HAD NO LEGS. Weren’t we told by ARUM, that ALL POINTS WERE AGREED TO? Either they were or they weren’t. Which is it man? Floyd decided, months ago, that testing UP TO THE FIGHT and a bigger cut, was enough for HIM. Manny and Arum decided 50/50 and 14 days is enough for THEM to make the fight. They negotiated through the head of HBO? Whose bright idea was that? It’s cool…your money.

  • ABHONDA says:

    Everyone that has the inside scoop has all agreed that mayweather is ducking Pacquiao! listen to all the sports channel. No one has heard from Floyd yet, fot the first time because Pacquiao called his bluff now where is he hiding! Coward, Coward, Coward!

  • Arum, Pimping Aint Easy says:

    Arum negotiating with the head of HBO, not Mayweather not Golden Boy, but with the head of HBO. Old lieing Arum, always up to no good.

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Kray

    All will be irrelevant.

    Jeff Mayweather maybe a nice guy but for him to say that Arum is making Floyd Jr look like a bad guy is laughable. Like I said, Floyd Jr, Sr Roger Mayweather have been making Pacquiao look bad since coming out his so called retirement, but you’ll see this otherwise. Not here to change your mind but it’s ridiculous for a sane person to see it any other way. Simple put, you are blind as a bat but you’ll fly and get yours.

  • Arum, screwing you with no vaseline says:

    When Floyd pac fell apart before, Floyd fought the #3 ranked guy, Shane Mosley. Floyd won. Hey Pac since the fight fell apart this time, do the same and fight the #3 guy Paul Williams. LMAO we all know that’s not gonna happen lol.

  • Fans says:

    @Pac without PEDs

    excuses again … when will you ever learn ….

    YOU FUNNY

  • bri says:

    what is so hard for you idiots to understand about the fact that ***** ARUM NEVER TALKED TO FLOYD CAMP OR DELAHOYA CAMP.**** made it all up. took you idiots for a ride.

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Pac Without PED’s

    Lets just say that Mayweather aint ducking Pacquiao. For all the Bob Arum haters, we’ll just call it Mayweather ducking Bob Arum.

    Arum finally has the upper hand on Floyd. Mayweather is afraid of handing Bob Arum all that he has made and accomplished. With all the drama between them, this is Floyd Mayweather making sure that Bob will not be the person to take away everything.

    Mayweather’s marketing power is his ’0′…. If he loses then it will be a definite decline in PPV and leverage.

    Not only that Bob Arum takes his ’0′ but will take away everything about Mayweather. Mayweather is afraid of Bob Arum having him in the palm of his hands. So it’s safe to say that Mayweather is ducking Bob Arum. How easy would it be for Floyd Jr to defeat not only the pound for pound king but also to put Bob Arum in his place. Mayweather will rather retire than risk everything and concede to Bob Arum.

    Floyd aint a coward, he’s a KUNT.

  • Pac without PEDs says:

    The world is much more interested in possible Mayweather’s loss to a PED user than in Pacquiao’s wins over tomato cans.

    Floyd Mayweather is undoubtedly the best boxer that ever walked on planet earth. Period.

    It’s Mayweather’s way or no way. And I suspect Mayweather does not respect Arum and Pacquiao anymore and this might be the last we ever hear of a possible fight between the two.

    Life goes on.

  • HHH says:

    pacquiao vs. cotto WOW PHUKIN BORING
    pacquiao vs. margarito um sounds better but still not enough interest
    sergio matinezz, not a good idea, sergio would dicapitate pacquiao’s head with a punch lol, toooooo big for pacman

  • AnakNgHuweteng says:

    @JesusJones: No, we are not going to shut up. We are in this for the long haul. LMAO.

  • ummm says:

    i dont think u guys realize that arum said the “deadline” was the end of non disclosure, but arum failed to disclose what were the TERMS in the contract!!! at the end of the day everything must be agreed upon by team pac and team may. there must have been something in the contract that floyd didnt agree to. most likely it was the blood tests. arum saw “no problems” with the terms for march (how did that turn out? exactly). arum “no problems” during this negotiation… are you guys seeing the pattern a 3year old could figure out? hint, WHAT WERE THE TERMS? its so easy to make a fight with floyd..terms gotta b right

  • JesusJones says:

    @ Kray

    If this fight does not happen now, your number theory wont matter much. It’s not going to matter if Manny’s number is not as good as Floyd. You don’t thunk that this will not hurt Floyd a bit? You’re out of your mind.

    If there’s ever a third round of negotiation whether Floyd/Pacquiao fights in between, any numbers would be irrelevant. You can kiss the Lion share Pacquaio agreed to and the Drug testing good bye. They will not be available because they were never the issue in the first and second place. The issue has always been that Mayweather is afraid to lose. Now I did not say he’s afraid to fight Pacquiao, it’s a totally different thing. And all you chumps pulling a blanket and blaming Arum for disrespecting Mayweather regarding the clock. Get over yourselves, Mayweather have been disrespecting Pacquiao’s team since he came out from retirement.

    Floyd’s fans are a bunch of cowards for not calling it as it is. Keep lying to yourselves, Floyd fans are officially a bunch of OSTRICHES.

    My question to die hard Floyd fans. Are you ever going to shut up?

  • RhodriK says:

    It’s quite simple why this fight hasnt been made- Roger Mayweather (Floyds Uncle and trainer) has AN IMPENDING TRIAL for battery against a female boxer two years ago. Floyd dosen’t want to commit to a fight and then find out half way through his training camp that his trainer might go to prison. Its understandable but annoying. I’ve also heared rumours that November is not a good date for Mayweather for more complicated US Tax reasons. Hopefully this fight can be made for next May, but us fans are sure as hell getting sick and tired of waiting for a fight that should have been so quickly organized. Shame on boxing.

  • ACA says:

    I just hope Floyd continues with his silence. Although i’m afraid he will come out of his shell and start trash-talking again as soon as Pacquiao has signed to fight someone else. (Hoping it’s not Cotto OR Margacheato).

  • tom britt says:

    @gmalt–sign me up.im in.WHOS NEXT?

  • AFLOYDLLO_GREED says:

    As soon as Pacquiao signs a deal to fight anyone, I will come out of my shell and start doing my trash talks again.

    As of now, I have not eaten for almost a week I am ready to fight in the 130 to 135 lbs.

    I am just worried, Pacquiao decides to lose weight and challenge me again…plz…leave me alone.

    Ooops, I laid another egg.

  • Gen Fredrich von Pakmann says:

    I’d like to see Pbf v Zab II…especially with Roger going to jail, Zab won’t have to worry about getting choked out from the back.

  • tom britt says:

    we want to see SERGIO OR WILLIAMS and we dont care how much MONEY ARUM MAKES.COTTO VS MARGARITO AS A UNDER CARD COULD MAKE THIS ABOUT AS BIG AS PAC AND FLOYD.

  • AnakNgHuweteng says:

    @kray: sure thing, bro, sure thing. Floyd is a bigger attraction. Pac is just a novelty act… a one-trick pony.

  • kray says:

    Now watch how this all plays out. Manny will fight first, doing marginal numbers. Floyd will fight after, against tougher opposition, and do better numbers.

  • King For a Day says:

    GBP is turning into rust too, suspension for skimping their fighters

  • Buck says:

    Pinoys, Arum has talked to noone, he hasn’t negotiated with anyone, and he’s playing a game with all of you!

    Don’t be idiots being led blindly by Arum. Boxing is a dirty business ran by dirty characters. Arum is the top kingpin of all dirty characters.

    Don’t be fools Pinoys…Listern to what GBP says personally.

    Don’t listen to Arum.

    im all for paul williams but these promoters f*cks have to line their pockets

    Speak up floyd!! gag order is not until you die. Tell them that you are not a coward, that you will fight pacquiao anytime, anywhere. Show the Fockers that you are the man.

    Poor Roger, now he’s gonna have his A-side Olympus style tested in the showers. Tough part is it’s gonna be random. He will not know when he’s gonna be probed and tested. Poor guy.

    LOL!!!

  • .mar ragul kubutu. says:

    test

  • boxtop123 says:

    TO ALL
    as i have stated before on my past posts this fight was not going to happen on BOB ARUMS TERMS. arum and floyd hate each other here are the 3 reasons the fight was a mess 1. the hatred between both camps steming from floyd leaving bob arum still bad blood… 2 the worst thing bob arum could have done was to give floyd a deadline and arum knew this going in
    3 their is still the possibility that roger mayweather could be going to jail and as you all should know floyd and his father dont have the greatest of relationships even though they are trying to get that together roger is his trainer who would train him if roger went to jail? even BOB ARUM HIMSELF STATED THIS FACT SAYING MANNY WOULD NOT FIGHT IF ROACH WERE UNABLE TO TRAIN HIM…. sorry people here comes cotto again

  • King For a Day says:

    Mayweather should take a vaseline with him to prison

  • King For a Day says:

    yep the right style to look good that is why he wants to fight KFC, self proclaimed a**hole. GOAT would’ve fought anyone any time PEDs accusations or not not when every thing is right. CALLED OUT TWICE first yelled even playing field, he must be doubting himself to be better by a narrow margin. NOW the crickets are chirping……….

  • ali says:

    it’s over, floyd is officially scared of pacquiao.

  • please lay off the roids says:

    You pactards said the same garbage a million times..who can floyd fight, he is scared!! you said he would never go thru with a fight with mosley, remember? then you back peddled when you knew he was gonna fight shane..OH MAYWEATHER WILL GET KOED IN THIS FIGHT!! Your idol fought a top rank tomato can (clottey)and looked like he was the one that lost afterwards!! maybe you tards will get a treat and manny will fight mosley or margaCHEATO!! manny needs a fighter off a loss and the right style to look good!

  • Female victtim of floyd says:

    Maweather please don’t hit me again I’m not pacquiao.

  • Never Trust Bob Arum says:

    You all are beileving what bob says? This is the same guy that has payed bribes to get fighters rated higher and got caught! This is the same guy that rushed negotiations last time and said we aint going to negotiate in the media! seems like every other day he opens his pie hole! He keeps saying the fight is off! Good , than walk away for good and have all your own fighters keep fighting each other! Its just what we want to watch Bob!

  • JAKEDASNAKE says:

    FLOYD SHOULD BE BANNED FROM BOXING. I MEAN WHO CAN HE FIGHT NOW. HONESTLY, WHO CAN HE FIGHT THAT WILL GET HIM BACK HIS RESPECT. THERE ISNT ANY…

    You are what you are! A Punk Ass Filipino! You stupid idiot!

  • Gen Fredrich von Pakmann says:

    Arum has redeemed himself well with this move…after dropping the ball in allowing the drug testing issue to be a matter negotiation, the deadline this time around was brilliant…brilliant!

  • badboy says:

    HEY BOXING FANS
    I SMELL SOMETHING.
    I SMELL p***YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

  • tbone south central says:

    at bir

    floyd knew about the public announcement . how come floyd doesnt talk to the public and defend himself. its called being a coward.. so why are you backing up a coward?you are making yourself look bad…

  • BOXING FAN says:

    TO ALL YOU MAYWEATHER FANS:

    YOUR BOY Mayweather is SCARED!!!

    The issue is now settled, Pacquiao is the best ever and Mayweather is a scared little g*rl who runs away after talking tough.

    Pacquiao moves up in weight classes to beat bigger, taller, heavier opponents than him, while Mayweather always fights guys smaller than him or old.

    Mayweather knew he would lose if he actually fought Pacman, and now he’s showing the world his true COWARDLY self.

  • Female victtim of floyd says:

    Oh not you again Floyd.

  • Serg says:

    Guess mayweathers going to fight girls like his dad and uncle since he’s scarred of pac.

  • King For a Day says:

    well now we know who caused both fights to fall apart, no reply F**kin’ COWARD

  • bri says:

    @lol. he is takin b.s. belts any of the top doods in the sport can do the same but choose not to. manny’s welt belt and belt at 154 if he wins it both would have not been won takin on any of the top three in that devision. manny is basically royalty of paper championship belts. respect that if you want.

  • bri says:

    @Miguel**** what are you takin about all we found out was that arum never talked to floyds camp or delahoyas camp. that he was tellin lies. and manny is still boxin a nobody come november 13th. who ever it is antonio or cotto. still will have low ppv sales. and if floyd takes on one of the top welts or martinez he still will outsell manny once more.

  • Miguel says:

    Now that the deadline has passed, I believe that this is a bigger victory for Pacquiao than beating Mayweather in the ring. He has literally driven Mayweather off and has him hiding in a corner without anything else to say. That’s pretty amazing that Pacquiao’s performances have struck this much fear in Mayweather. Pacquiao is really something special and his star power will reach astronomical proportions because of all of these events that just transpired.

  • Marius says:

    Everybody is asking himself to know why Floyd Mayweather doest want to sign the fight.First,we must all know that Arum
    reaction is like a 13 year child.Now we ask Arum to tell clear
    to the people,what was in that contrat.About the first fight,
    we all knew about gloves,weight,ring,blood test,but this time,
    People knows nothing about what was in tha contrat,Arum the dictator used the press to pressure Money May and now,Money showed him that he is himself coward,as himself like to call Money.If Arum said that the negotiation would be secret,
    himself gave deadline to Money,cause of the failure.

  • Punk Ass Filipino.s says:

    THE REAL P4P KING FLOYD MAYWEATHER AINT GOING TO FIGHT NO CHEATER WHO IS ON PERFORMANCE ENHANCING DRUGS !!!!
    PAC TURNED DOWN 50 MILLION CAUSE OF A TEST !!!

    DAM PUNK ASS FILIPINO CHEATERS !!!

  • LOL says:

    @ WTF

    A fight with Cotto does 2 things:

    - Pacquiao goes up in weight and wins an 8th weight division

    - An 8th division win would make it harder for anyone to break that record in this lifetime or the next, i.e. history/legacy

    Pacquiao destroys Bradley (via knock out) and probably stops Berto, too. Problem is…

    Boxing is a business first. Ask 20 people who Pacquiao/Mayweather are, 19 will tell you they’re boxers. Ask 20 people who Berto is, 6, maybe 7 will know. 2 or 3 might know Bradley.

  • Serg says:

    If arum was lying mayweather would of spoke up along time ago. He’s silent at the moment. Mayweather didn’t even want to fight mosley he got put into it cause of what happend to Hatti and his fans heard him so he had to fight

  • bri says:

    ARUM EDMITED HE NEVER TALKED TO MAYWEATHER CAMP OR DELAHOYA CAMP. he only spoke to ceo of hbo. bascially he was liein the entire time.

  • tbone says:

    why are people jumping on floyd? Why would floyd agree to a fight, when theres a possibility that the details werent what he wanted? What makes this different than the earlier negotiations? Plus, the fact that Arum gave Mayweather a deadline, proves to me that Arum himself knew the fight wasnt going to go through. So it was PR move. Just have patience people. Its funny, people said Floyd was scared of Mosley, that he would never fight Mosley. And look what happened. Patience people.

  • Serg says:

    Guess mayweather is really going to retire for year or 2

  • Serg says:

    Maybe he should do interviews but he won’t. Cause once they mention Margarito or pacquiao he will het parranoid. And start stuttering like he always does. He won’t do it cause he don’t like to be called out.

  • rob says:

    floyd where ever you go each and every person will ask you why didnt you agree to fight pacman.

  • Serg says:

    That’s why indont like mayweather he don’t care what other people think. He should have been a man and fought. That’s why he will never be considered with Ali robison n pacman

  • rob says:

    may COWARD weather world no 1 pound 4 pound boxer. ha ha ha lol

  • Serg says:

    Lol fight Mathew hatton the guy that got droped in the first round by the other no name. Mayweather will fight Oscar de la hoya

    PACQUIAO-COTTO FIGHT

    OH I LOVE THIS FIGHT. FANS WILL LOVE IT TOO.

    FIGHTS WITH COLORED PEOPLE, THEY WILL JUST TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU.

    DOWN WITH MAYWEEDER CAMP.

  • Female victim of floyd says:

    Oh mr. Mayeafher plz don’t hit me.

  • Female victim of floyd says:

    Mayweather should of signed. He’s a coward always have excuses but not this sign. Pacquaio agreed to all his blood test even random. And a 5050 deal and anyone says that mayweather should get more is dumb becaus them two are making the biggest fight not mayweather. But guess Floyd got scared and had no excisese this time.

  • NamCap says:

    Cotto and margarito should settle their issues and fight and Manny should pick on either Berto, Williams, Bradley or even Khan. Manny shpould speak up on who is he going to fight and not just leave Arum who he needs to fight.

    Me and all my boxing buddies are not going to waste our money to watch a Cotto or Margarito fight with Manny, whats for?

  • Pac without PEDs says:

    Money Mayweather: ” The sport of boxing will not retire me. I will retire from the sport of boxing.”

    Now that Manny Pacquiao has avoided Olympic Blood Test for the second time, can we all put a stop to this Mayweather-Pacquiao fight? There are some other more interesting fights.

    Now, I think Mayweather should do a Pay Per View interview on HBO as millions of fans are dying to hear him speak. Even when speaking Money is a draw.

    I think Mayweather should fight Mathew Hatton next or retire and concentrate on his projects. He will remain the greatest boxer to ever walk on planet earth.

  • Goggles says:

  • lacem up says:

    This was Bobs plan all along! He priced himself out of a Mayweather Paciauo fight..If it was me in bob arums shoes I would offer 55/45 because mayweather sells more ppv! Just makes sense. If I was Mayweather i would demand it too..I still think this fight will happen in nov. but to be honest im loosing interest fast..both sides are guilty of posturing and playing the game..

  • big b0i says:

    everyone acts like they didn’t hear what mayweather said after his fight with mosley no test no fight so’ i guess pac-man haven’t agreed to the testing because remember he’s scared of needles so that sounds like more of an coward to me . pac-man needs to agree to blood testing all the way up to the fight or just shutup already.pac-man has nothing but excuses he won’t fight any african american fight only slow mexican fighters with no boxing skills look at his choices for his next fight plaster man or a shot cotto agian oh wow.if he won’t face any black fighters at least fight sergio martinez,but i forgot martinez is to big at 5’10 but plasterman is not to big also 5’10 maybe i’m crazy that’s the same height to me, so is martinez to big or just to good.

  • Bennie Blanco says:

    Doesn’t Bob Arum have a clue about public opinion no one wants to see Cotto or Margarito these guys are a pair of bumbs

  • wardstar says:

    Of course Bob Arum can put together Pac-Cotto 2 or Pac-Margachito in ten days, he promotes all ov em, its easy to negotiate with yourself, and create a double wammy, 30% from Pac, 30% from Cotto/Margirito + the “under the table deal” he has with HBO for the rights. Out of all the revenue for these fights Arum gets at least 50% leaving the fighters to, well fight over the rest, then we we get to hear Bob drone on for hours about what a great show it was and hear him say ‘here comes the Champean’like some out of date dinosor. Save it Bob unless Pac fights Floyd you all lose credibility and people see just how the sport is run, by a small group of corrupt little men.

  • JAZZ The Truth says:

    A number ofthe elite fighters is on a queue to have a crack on the PACMAN such as the likes of Berto, Williams and Bradley.

    Floyd Jr is the self proclaimed best fighter with his 41:O record (excluding his loss to Serafim Todorov of course).

    But a great number of the elite fighters beg to differ as they want to have a piece of the real Fighter of the Decade.

  • nowornever says:

    I think Arum should match Pacquiao with Berto. He is a credible opponent. Floyd is waiting right now for Arum to match pacquiao with another opponent and he will match it with the better one, maybe with Williams or Martinez if he still have his manhood. Matching pacquiao with margarito or cotto is not a good idea. It won’t sell.
    Arum, enough of making money. You cannot bring that to your grave. Give people what they want and you’ll be remembered, you can bring that to the grave!!

  • Neil0311 says:

    Who knows what the next move is for Mayweather, Everyone in the boxing world wants this fight to happen.. Pacquioa has options on who to box, But Mayweathers choice is limited.. Being a Mayweather fan i am disapointed that this will be draged out for servel more months..

  • JC says:

    Whoever PAC fight I’ll watch. He is an exciting boxer. unlike JR.-COWARD!COWARD!COWARD!COWARD

  • gmalt says:

    Is anyone really surprised at Floyd not taking the fight? Wwe all know he’s terrifed of fighting Pacquioa & I’ve said on this website before…Floyd will NEVER fight the animal that’s Pacquio. NEVER. Sometimes the potential to lose the inflated ego isn’t worth all the money in the world.

    In Roman times, the crowd were in charge..THEY decided if gladiators lived, not emperor’s. Look at Barcelona football club where 110,000 people within the stadium wave their white hankerchiefs if they find the performance of the team unacceptable. In the boxing world, Floyd Mayweather is not bigger than the sport…WE, the paying public are in charge. By that, I mean WE can force this fight by refusing to buy anymore of Floyds PPV fights. Simple as that….& I call on all Floyd fans as well as Pacquio’s to back this.

    What’s the point in them seeing Floyd figt ayone but Manny…it’s worthless in terms of legacy & respectability. Boxing NEEDS this fight, we the fans NEED & DEMAND it & if Floyds PPV numbers fell by half to three quarters…this fight WOULD MOST DEFINITELY be on. Mark my words. With the internet, this is a viable proposition…we just need to start a campaign that NO-ONE will once again pay to watch Floyd unless it’s to fight Pacquioa. What do others think?
