If Paul Williams is not big enough of a draw to fight, then why did you REPEATEDLY negotiate a fight between him and another one of your fighters Kelly Pavlik? Was he more marketable then? Just curious.......
a better question is why did they fight Clottey then.
Why do you create topics off of other peoples topics, instead of just debating in the same topic?

Just curious.......I think Williams is big enough of a draw but PWill fighting Pac? That's a frickin' circus/Punch Out! shet right there, man. I understand PWill trying to fight Pavlik seeing as they're both taller than 6 feet but PWill fighting Pac? That's crazy.
If Arum read this board, he'd have Pac fight Bradley at 147. Bradley is at least more known than Clottey. One question I really wanted to hear from the conference call is why Arum would put a nobody like Clottey in with Manny but someone with a fanbase like Bradley is just pissed away.
I'm not really saying anything about the negotiations until Mayweather's side has spoken up. The Flomos on this board keep to saying that Arum is lying but it's hard to say that when the other side hasn't said anything yet.
I totally agree with all the Pavlik statement. But Arum is trying to trick the public into ONLY accepting fights where he gets all the money.
nothing tricky about it, everybody know the score
Pac-Floyd was the fight everyone wanted
it was biggest payday fight
they tried and it didn't work
past that, Arum obviously prefer all Top Rank contests
Pac spent a lot of time going through GB fighters
now Arum happy to keep it all to himself instead of sharing the wealth
Pavlik wanted no part of AA either
Sturm was a possibility
Pavlik wasn't gonna move up
punk had a title to milk

Abraham was there at the time also Strum. Or simply have him challenge someone from a higher weight division like he's CURRENTLY doing with Manny now. Any more questions?

:laugh:
who the fuck else was there for Pavlik to fight at MW?
and Pavlik was scared to do it anyway even with Arum's backing it
