    Can someone who voted for Arum please explain your vote? Arum lowered his demand from 60/40 to 50/50 just to make the fight happen. Its obvious that he's putting in an effort to get it done.

        lol, cut the crap.

        What about before he agreed to fight Marquez?

        Heres your premade built in excuse, "he was retired".

        Ok.

        What happened to "you'll get your shot",

        or,

        "tell him to get his PPVs up",

        or,

        "I don't fight sparring partners".



        These fights could have been made.

        Floyd just chose not to take them.

        No more waiting, no more blaming negotiations, no more building up the fights,

        the kid pussed out plain and simple. Only a stan would fail to see otherwise and make excuses.

          It would be Arum's fault because the only way we dont get to see Floyd Pac is if Pac loses to cotto and he made the Cotto Pac fight.

              Floyd has already disrespected JMM by dismissing him as too small, and not on his level.

                So is Pac and Cotto suppose to sit on the sidelines until Floyd is good and ready to grow a pair? Cmon! I'd rather see Pac/Floyd, but if Floyd is content with just making excuses not to fight these guys, then let the real warriors get it on.

                  We've all read about how Pacman is interested in a fight with Floyd. He himself even went on the record to say so ("After Floyd Mayweather, my job is done") . His trainer Freddie Roach has went on the record, and even Bob Arum made a statement of how he will lower his demand to a 50/50 purse split in order to make the fight easier to make.

                  Floyd on the other hand has used Pac's losses from 1996, 1999, and his decision loss to Eric Morales in 2005 (in which Pac came back and totally demolished Morales in thier next 2 matches) as an excuse to try and discredit Pac. He blatenly ducked and dodged the question during his interview with Brian Kenny by replying with "Al Haymon and Leonard Ellerbe are my advisors, and have done one hell of a job with Floyd Mayweather's career" after Kenny Asked him why not face the winner of Pacman/Marquez.

                  Everytime Floyd is asked about a fight with Pac by reporters, fans, etc... His reply is always "Pac has been KO'd twice before and got outboxed by Eric Morales"

                  So who do u think would be more responsible for this fight not coming off if its never made? Vote.
                  it's floyd for not accepting the 50/50 purse split, but also arum for forcing cotto/pac on us. the only person that wanted cotto/pac was arum.

                    Compare to what he has said in the past about his opponent i think JMM himself would take that as a compliment.

                      No, he said that about the other 2 fighters that he's made excuses not to get in the ring with. Mosley and Cotto.

                      His excuse for Pac is, "he's been outboxed by Eric Morales"

                      Talk about lame!
