Floyd Jr: Once Pacquiao becomes his own boss, then we can talk"

What I dont understand is, why is Floyd so concerned with how much money Arum takes from Pac? So what Arum takes 27% from Pac. How does that affect Floyd, or not make Pac a worthy challenger? Excuses, excuses.....

That's why Pac's team is always winching about money in negotiations,Pacman gets nothing.If Pac was his own boss it would be easier to negotiate

I guess he is trying to expose Arum.

Sadly, Pacquiao can't speak english that good, Pacquiao nor Cotto would be able to roll solo.

Floyd's an Idiot.

First off: SMW division is very snowy and dominated by snow-fall from Europe.

The HW division as well as two blizzards from Europe...the Klitschko brothers who rule the division and dominate.

And you also have many soon to be rising stars on the radar that we will have to wait and see if the storm comes.

MMA: Idiot statement again. MMA = Mixed Martial Arts and forms of competition have been around since ancient times. If we take Pankration from ancient Greece for example, I've read a source that it became more popular than boxing during its time.

The other thing about MMA is that Floyd needs to shut his mouth unless he can prove they suck and that means competing which he can't and won't do.
And the same goes for any ignorant die-hard fan that likes to bash MMA. I don't watch MMA all that much, and I'm a bigger fan of boxing, but people are crazy to dismiss MMA. When it comes down to it, both MMA and Boxing are ways to fight...ways to prepare yourself for REAL FIGHTING outside the ring/cage. So which prepares you more for such a fight: MMA or Boxing?
People forget that Boxing, like MMA, are for self-defense. It was taught to soldiers in ancient times to be able to protect themselves against the enemy and the same was true with Wrestling and any form of training that fights an opponent. Take fencing for example: It's not just a sport but a defense. Sport is the practice.

For Money draw: Thank you Ricky Hatton and Oscar De La Hoya. Yes, Floyd is a great dance partner but it took two parties to make him such a big draw for that much money. Oscar and Hatton are probably the two biggest draws in boxing.

He just keeps on finding the excuses not to fight Pacman.

What has it got to do with him how much money Arum takes from Pac - sounds like a tactic to start causing riffs in his team to me.

Pretty Boy is too much of a talker sometimes.

It's well known he doesn't like Arum and doesn't want to do business with him.

I really don't have that big of a problem with it if he feels that strongly he was wronged by Arum even if it will cost him fights. Doing business with Arum may be selling-out to him so caving to such pressure by the fans/media to fight, may just make you feel like a puppet so he'll refuse to cave unless all things go his way.

Arum may also want promotional right.

Arum will also be making money not just off of Pac but off of Floyd.

Revenue will be higher with a fight between those two so that means more money in Arum's pocket and Floyd may see it as he helped put that money in his enemy's pocket.

The thing is Floyd talks about 27% this that and that he gets 100%.. yeah im sure Golden Boy and his managers get payed nothing. Floyd straight up talks **** 99% of the time.
