Mayweather says lies are being told; denies negotiations are taking place

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

bro, where did floyd say he doesn't want to negotiate with top rank? it's WIDELY known that Bob Arum prefers ONLY in-house matchups. Pacquiao/Marquez III wasn't even an OPTION until Marquez' GBP contract expired. Same with Mosley! Use your brain dude.

Floyd said if there are going to be serious negotiations, it starts with contacting Haymon or Ellerbe, neither of whom have been contacted by TR. Instead we have ****ing camera vists by Koncz at the gym, are you for real? You people can't be this ****ing mentally ******ed can you?

Yeah...they are that mentally ******ed

[American Dream]

Maybe I am mentally ******ed. Or you maybe you didn't read the article and just read the red highlights that Webb focused on.

I might be mentally ******ed. But, when it's said "before informing him that there was absolutely nothing to talk about until his defamation lawsuit is cleared up".
By my mentally ******ed reading comprehension, I got him saying there will be no negotiations until the suit is cleared up....But, you got something else out of that statement then please enlighten me.

I totally disagree with you on this jro..the first round you blamed Floyd, now you blame both?..but imo, this is virtually on Team Pac..and you have never once put the blame on Pac soley. Floyd is simply saying that has to be handled first. common sense tells you that. that is why Arum said he would drop it to make the fight..but anyone with sense knows what Arum said is bull./

Who remembers when Arum said this on November 11th? "If Mayweather really wants Pacquiao bout, Arum says "we will drop the defamation lawsuit" Bob Arum - http://www.badlefthook.com/2011/11/1...ill-be-dropped

^^^this..I do..this is why I blame Team Pac..its all BS.

when Arum gets exposed...lets look for something to blame on Floyd as well...that way we can say EVERYBODY dropped the ball...smh.....if somethig is ass about Arum...****s come through and say "BUT FLOYD...".....**** gettin' weak!!!...Arum is ass so that makes Manny ass....association breeds similarities.....Floyd got a defamation case because Manny's feelings were hurt....they wanted to take the dude to court and be lame about it...NOW dudes wanna ill out on Floyd for not wanting to rap with the SAME clowns who signed the paperwork to charge him with a crime thats equivalent to playground name calling...get real!!!....Arum is the devil and his customers are crabs...str8 up!!!....it was Floyd's fault when it looked like it...NOw its BOTH faults even though its clear that one side is acting ass atm....I'm done!!...this fight aint happening....on to the next!!!

great post. totally agree.

Even Ariza said he thought Koncz and Arum were trying to BS Manny into thinking Mayweather negotiations were taking place.
Why would Arum, an astute businessman, work with investors for a fight when he has never EVER done so in his entire career? And why would he try to do so for the biggest fight of all time when he doesn't have experience?
I honestly don't think Arum is going to make the Mayweather fight. As a matter of fact I don't even think Marquez 4 is going to happen. Get ready to see Pac-Bradley, the fight people want to see the least. I'm sure he paid Bradley 1 million for Casamayor based on his market value.

^^^this..

you have to be an idiot to believe an investment firm led by joe jackson was gonna make the fight happen

lmao

" As far as he's concerned, if Al Haymon's not involved, there's really nothing to talk about"

Don't need an article or an assertion from Mayweather to have had this figured out long ago.
As for the defamation suit, ofcourse a fight will never move forward unless it's dropped. Naturally that would be part of any negotiation.

exactly. that clause can easily be put into negotiations, the problem is there are no ongoing negotiations as Team Pac keep claiming, that is why that road block still exist.

[brick wall]

**** both sides...floyd wanna get rid of arum totally to fight pac eventhough it's not really an option...arum's greedy a$$ will not allow pac to fight floyd unless he can have complete control of the promotion. pac is ****** to not notice that he's getting fooled by arum and koncz.

and **** all fanboys who can't see the obvious reasons why this fight is not happening is because both sides are at fault. both sides are full of ****s and lies and you simpletons will not recognize that because you're more interested in ****riding your idol.

[Ido]

The fight wont happen because Bob is ducking Floyd.

Die already you old motherfucker.

[BIGBOXINGFAN]

Amazing how taking the olympic style blood test isn't the hot topic anymore...
What's the topic now, taking back the lawsuit?
Then what? After he drops the lawsuit, I wonder what's the next topic we'll be discussing next....
I'm glad I didn't buy into this May 5th 2012 BS.
This fight most likely will never happen whether its under Bob arum,Don King or Oscar....Sad but true!

You are just ****** and really don't have a clue.

You can't make the fight with Floyd while at the same time having a lawsuit against him.

Bob has already said that the lawsuit could be dropped if the fight can be made.

The problem is.............Bob is not even negotiating with Floyds go to people. Al Haymon and Leonard Ellerbe. Oh yeah and don't forget Richard Schaefer.

So Joe Jackson and some people who we never heard of are negotiating on Floyds behalf?

Get real dude.

Bob Arum is trying to make a fight with Floyd Mayweather without Ellerbe,Haymon,Schaefer?

Thats not the way to do it.
Can Team Mayweather make a fight with Pacquiao without Arum and Konz? Hell no.

Stop making up **** so you can say it's everyone's faults. Floyd had his team reach out to Bob Arum to make the fight. So regardless of whether or not he wants him out of the picture, it's not compromising what he should do.

[QADASHBANYAH]

He's been fairly active in the media in recent weeks. It really doesn't matter because it's a double-edged sword. The response will be that he wants the fight now because Manny didn't look so hot. Truthfully, it really doesn't matter what Floyd does so long as the other side doesn't want to make the fight. And there's no way a ****y, undefeated African-American is going to win a media battle anyway.

The point is this, hes being called a coward and all kinds of madness, hes been active but mostly with fighthype. We are boxing fans, the average joe doesnt know what a boxingscene or a fighthype is..... And this is where we congregate....

The point is that the media will have no choice but to push this fight if say MAYWEATHER came and stated "HEY LETS SIT DOWN. LETS GET THIS MEDIATOR IN HERE" So no one can lie and say negotiations are going on when they arent etc..... The fact is simply this, FIGHTHYPE isnt as popular as the means that ARUM AND CO SIMPLY USE..... Floyd right now has momentum on his side, people really understand that he will whoop pacs ass..... But hes too busy in strip clubs and making it rain. I am a huge Floyd fan, as a look at my post will state this, but when will Floyd simply start to dog arum old ass out???? When will he pose questions to the media like, 1.) why do we need outside investors??? When we negotiated prior there were no investors??? 2.) Why is arum telling me I cant use GBP??? 3.) How can he (ARUM) be mad at me for trying to give the fans a good show and pac a good whooping may 5th, but he created that phoney deadline clock a while back....

KEEP IN MIND IMDAZED, YOU LOVE BOXING, I LOVE BOXING..... THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE SURFING TV HEARS THAT FLOYD IS AFRAID.....A COWARD EVEN.....

WITH THAT BEING THE CASE, HOW MANY PEOPLE HEAR COWARD VERSUS ACTUALLY READING BEHIND THE LINES OF WHAT IS REALLY GOING ON??? 99% OF THE PEOPLE TODAY FEEL *********S ARE OUT TO GET THEM FOR ****S SAKE LMAO.... PEOPLE FOLLOW THE MEDIA, AND SIMPLE COMMON SENSE QUESTIONS FROM FLOYD CAN END ALL OF THAT..... NOT HOW HES THE GREATEST ETC, BUT SIMPLE QUESTIONS AS I POSED ABOVE...

I DAILY VISIT BOXINGSCENE AND FIGHTHYPE AND *************** LOOKING AT THE LATEST NEWS...... BUT LETS FACE IT MOST PEOPLE ARE LIKE SKIP BAYLESS.... THEY REALLY DONT KNOW **** ABOUT BOXING BUT SIMPLY PARROT WHAT THEY HEARD.... I HAD HOMEBOYS THAT LOVE BOXING AND THOUGHT FLOYD WAS SCARED, BUT WHEN I TURNED THEM ON TO BOXINGSCENE AND FIGHTHYPE. ALL OF THAT CHANGED....

THAT ONE EYED *** "TELEVISION" IS POWERFUL ON PERCEPTION..... PEOPLE KNOW THE TRUTH WHEN THEY HEAR IT...

JUST AS THESE *******S HAVE CALMED DOWN AS OF LATE LOL....

good old bob arum

shut the **** up fanboy. didn't floyd say that he can't wait for arum to disappear from top rank so he could work with todd and dena duboef without any problem? if arum doesn't wanna work with floyd, floyd feel the same way with arum. they hate each other with passion and it's getting in the way of the fight to happen.

Did that stop him from reaching out to Arum? No.
