in regards to the fight this picture means absolute jack unless manny agrees to full testing.
I don't know if this site is credible:
PACQUIAO - "I want to prove to everyone that it wasn’t me who didn’t want the fight. That’s why I made the concession to take anything he wants at any time. Even during the fight before the sixth round if he wanted! What else can I do? I hope we get the fight done soon. Let’s get it on."

bahahah GBP and HBO would be completely pwned
Oscar's face would be worth seeing :haha:
Right, how great would that be?
I swear I would become a big flomo.
Floyd don't drink...
Meh...says who? Floyd? I don't care either way if he does or doesn't. It really doesn't matter nor does it affect him as a fighter at all.
Anyways back to the subject.
How great would it be if both Floyd and JMM told Oscar cheeeeeeeoooooowwwwww
:D

Floyd "Pretty Boy" Mayweather vs Carl "The Tooth" Williams
Cowboy Stadium Cinco de Mayo weekend
because Floyd has made it known that he wont take a fight with Manny if there is a cutoff, the fight is basically a done deal once Manny himself goes public and says he will take tests leading all the way up to the fight, NO cutoff..
this we know already though, this is where they currently stand in terms of negotiations with the fight as revealed by Mayweather himself in a recent interview so unless Bob told Floyd that Manny is willing to accept the no cut off demand them taking a picture together does nothing for the progression of this fight, both team Pacquiao and Bob Arum know what they have to do if they want to fight Floyd
THATS why I said it boiled down to respect, Oscar and Shane got "beef" too just like how Floyd and Arum have had and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't take any snap shots together, that's because the RESPECT is gone there but Floyd still respects Arum's G and likewise with Arum he respects Floyd so when tensions simmer down there is still room in their relationship to have pleasant moments together but I'm pretty sure it was only that because unless Arum says Manny accepted full testing he isn't saying nothing at all.
they both probably got together and said lets **** everybody's head up and take a picture together, that'll keep them talking..
Well people forget that Oscar wanted to sue Shane for using PEDs against him...then he changed his mind and signed him on to GBP.

Nothing like free publicity!
for me it's the opposite. businessmen will take aside personal differences when it comes to doing business. if floyd and arum have no personal differences the more they can do business together and the most profitable business in boxing right now is the pac-floyd fight. and businessmen, they always bring with them their businesses wherever they go outside their homes. how can you not see that as some sort of a sign that the fight can happen when the two businessmen involved are seen hanging out together in a public gathering?

wow
This is interesting, however this should not be so overblown because as one poster has already said, at the end of the day they are all buisness men and let bygones be bygones especially during the super bowl.
Interesting, they have seemed to be on better terms recently. I don't think Arum's main beef was ever with Floyd personally it was with Haymon and the people that pried Floyd away from him, in the end he used Floyd's name to build up three of his guys aside from the money he is owed I think that was Floyd's main issue and that really hasn't been going on recently as Arum generally speaks nice about Floyd currently (even when the fight didn't come off the second time Arum didn't go off on Floyd he was nice about it).
Most of that seems to be in the past now, the sad thing is that really doesn't make a difference about the fight happening because there is still beef between the sides even if the two men themselves can get along.
Maybe Arum did get his number though so he could personally reach out to him and not have to go through 14 different guys to get to Floyd, that could help the fight get made.
Floyd don't drink...
Drunk, sleepy, or high off love. Something.
Mayweather waking up right now and yelling to himself after seeing that picture,
"I DID THAT?!"
Kirby;10071668']Well yeah bro. It's all promotion. It's always been like that. You think the fight wasn't made because of a drug test? Hell no. It wasn't made because of money. Notice how the economy is getting way better than it was in 2009. If this fight was made in 2009 it wouldn't do asmuch as it would do today. If I know this, then Floyd and Bob know this. They did the whole deadline, blood test thing to build up drama so people would get interested and order PPVs. It's a business first, a sport later.
You're probably right.
Which makes me sad in a way, but it at least gives me hope that the fight will happen sometime in the future.
Money has always been the deciding factor, but it still makes me sad that the fans are being shoved to the back of the bus until the money is right.
Wow, that is either a huge change of events or they played us all along.
Either way, I am starting to have some hope for Pacquiao-Mayweather again.
And yeah, I do feel kinda stupid for it...
Just goes to show, all that Arum-Mayweather drama is a bunch of made for TV bullsh*t.

we may never know... but that doesn't mean they can't be civilized with one another when in person...just cuz they don't get along business wise doesn't mean they can't from a personal stand point
True.
The media would want you to believe they can't be in a room together without strangling each other though.
I never really thought Floyd and Arum had problems. I mostly assumed Arum had beefs with Ellerbe and Roger, calling him a liar/hypocrite and such.

It's just out of respect. They're both businessmen, I don't see a problem here. Most of you ladies and rallying up and getting shocked.
