Pacquiao Ready: I Will Tell Arum I Want Mayweather Next!

wow.i read before that manny said he will take lesser money then floyd even though he dont have to imho..lets see if arum does what pac asks..money drug testing.the big issues are out of the way if floyd dont get extra greedy.

Dmar, it looks like Arum will be forced to do what Manny wants in order to keep his job.

For sure. Pac taking less means instead of 45 million, it'll be 44.5 million. Way too much fucking money for this fight not to happen. I still can't believe it hasn't.

this was blogged an hour ago.arum needs to hussle fast if theres a last minute chance for a pac-floyd fight....Welterweight champion Floyd “Money” Mayweather 42-0, 26 knockouts, is close to an agreement to fight lightweight champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on May 5. A source with knowledge of the negotiation informed me that both parties are in the last stages of securing a deal that could be announced as early as this week.
A clash with Mayweather will be undoubtedly the biggest fight of Guerrero’s career. For months, the Gilroy, California native has told the boxing world that he will be the one to defeat the undefeated pound for pound king.
Guerrero says he knows Mayweather like the back of his hand, and that a fight between Floyd and Guerrero, a multilingual Mexican-American, will sell on Cinco de Mayo weekend in Las Vegas.
Mayweather’s advisor Leonard Ellerbe said their camp will announce Mayweather’s opponent this week and the signs are pointing towards Guerrero (28-1, 18 knockouts) getting the shot he desires.
Fight fans expected May 5 to be the day Mayweather and Pacquiao finally fight. But both parties have apparently failed to come to terms once again. As it stands now, Pacquiao is expected to fight in late May or early June leaving Mayweather without a dance partner for May 5.
The anticipated May 5th date was nearly derailed when a Las Vegas judge sentenced “Money May” to begin a 90 day jail term on January 6. On Friday, the judge postponed the ruling until June 1st allowing Mayweather to go through with the bout he announced nearly two months ago.

is Floyd really going to fight a guy with the following resume at 135 and 140:

135-efreen hinojosa
135-robert david arrieta
140-joel casamayor
135-vicente escobedo
135-katsidis

so beating 2 guys I've never heard of, a 39 yr (Casamayor), a fringe guy who is okay (Escobedo-was he ring ranked when they fought?) and Katsidis (the only legit top 10 ranked guy at the time).


If Floyd takes this fight I will be laughing my ass off. I think Guerrero is a good fighter and he has potential to be an elite fighter but he hasn't exactly taken the world by storm at 135 or 140 yet(or proven that he is elite).

Rios's punk ass has done more at 135 in beating Acosta, Antillon, and Murray (all 3 were top 10 ranked by ring at the time).

Well I guess its not going to be pacs fault.

I don't buy for a second that Mayweather is serious at all about fighting Guerrero. This sounds like nothing but a ploy to get Arum and Pac to hurry up and make up their minds about committing to the fight.

And also for Canelo if Pac doesn't work out.

Mayweather is about risk/reward, and there is ZERO reward fighting Guerrero. He is a nobody, with no fanbase at all. Fighting on his coveted Cinco de Mayo weekend will do nothing to sell this fight. Guerrero has little to no Mexican fanbase.

Pacman fights June 9 or 16

Top Rank chief Bob Arum told fightnews and Manila Bulletin that Manny Pacquiao will return to the ring on June 9 or June 16 against a soon-to-be-named opponent. Together with Pacquiao’s Canadian adviser Mike Koncz, Arum is traveling to Manila Sunday and he will be arriving Tuesday morning.

Four names have emerged as candidates to face Pacquiao but the leading candidates are Tim Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez, while the darkhorse favorites are Lamont Peterson and Miguel Cotto. Arum said the lucrative showdown with Floyd Mayweather will be perfect for November, and not on May 5.

The MGM Grand can only hold 18,000 people and a fight of such magnitude, stressed Arum, has to be staged in a bigger venue to maximize revenue.

Typical Arum bullshit.

Floyd's own team said that they are looking elsewhere. Read what JZ posted in the other thread. Has Floyd called anyone for the fight?

Love that Pac's getting vocal.

Both these guys need to stop pussy-footin' around and get in the ring already.Both of them showed signs of slippage in their last fight.

Let's hope Manny can demand this fight before any Guerrero farce gets signed.
