After hearing the same question for five years, Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather were sick and tired of being asked by fans, reporters and just about everyone they'd encounter in their daily lives whether they'd fight each other.
"As far as this being the biggest fight, that's a silly question," Arum said. "I remember back in '71 when [Muhammad] Ali and [Joe] Frazier fought the first time. The whole country stopped. The world stopped. There were political implications. … If I only had Muhammad and Joe here with me today in their primes, how would they have done given the technological infrastructure we have in place now. It would have done great. It would have been tremendous."
