Look at these posts below, a little disturbing if you're a real boxing fan.
And, no. Team Mayweather was under no obligation to do or say anything. Know why? Because they have their own near-term plans, and it may or may not include Pacquiao.
When Floyd wants, he will make the fight with Pac. And, at that time, Pacquiao will dance to Floyd's tune.
Just like Arum set a "deadline" with a dog-and-pony-show midnight press conference, and then he said that if Floyd decides to come to the table next week, they will scrap any new ongoing negotiations. What does that tell you?
In fact, Team Mayweather played it perfectly. Who looks like the set of clowns this morning?
It's a shame floyd won't make a deal right now. But he doesn't have to. He only has to make the best deal for himself not for boxing fans. The notion that he owes it to fans to compromise his principals, whether we agree with them or not, to make a fight we want to see does not make sense to me.
If they're so worried about making a fight for November 13th, why do they keep going to Mayweather? Because of Arum's greed.
Get it through your thick skull, neanderthal head that they could've set up Pacquiao with ANYONE ELSE, yet he continues to push for Mayweather.
Arum supposedly didn't talk about negotiations yet we have weeks and weeks of him talking about the fight, basically trying to egg Mayweather on to sign the fight, we don't know the specifics as of late, and the supposed "deadline" wasn't even last night, which brings us back to the point and intention of Arum; having as much build up for this fight should it go through, since he knows this is his big pay day as well as the two main fighters. There was no point of this debacle other than publicity. He could have told Mayweather's advisors that he had until the very last minute to make up his mind, instead of this big build up just to tell everyone "oh I didn't even speak to them personally". Pathetic.
You sit there and point fingers at Mayweather when in reality it's all their faults. The point of this thread was just to hate and express said hatred toward Mayweather and not about the actual issues of signing the fight, which there are countless threads already, with over 10 pages long.
originally floyd fans said it was blood testing that stopped the fight. clearly now its floyds principles, current agenda, and who knows what else.
