Comments Thread For: Arum: "Mayweather is Scared To Death of Pacquiao"

[B u r n e r]

uh... pac agreed to the 3rd party proposal. floyd's the one that bitched out.

In a mediation your not in the room with the other party. Arum has no idea what he talks about. Schafer and Oscar/Haymon would not tell Arum that. Arum is making up stuff to force Floyd into a fight.

"Mayweather is scared to death"
"Schafer told Floyd to sign"

Arum is just trying to get Floyd to sign.

its essential to hear the other side of the coin. but Arum wanted to make the first comment to make it as though, Floyd is ducking. We will see.

im pleading with all the floyd fans on this site to leave and go circle jerk each other in the fantasy world they live in. i said from the very beginning this fight wouldn't happen. why? because no amount of money could get floyd in the ring with manny. i will never argue that floyd didn't have all the talent in the world or that he could have been one of the top fighters of his time. but the fact is he is one of the biggest ******* the sport has ever seen, doesn't care about the fans or making exciting fights and is just plain bad for the sport. if you still have your boys back now i don't know what to tell you cause you clearly don't like boxing.

chicken sorry ass pacquiao knew he could'nt weight drain mayweather so he did everything to get out of the fight.examples changing his mind back and forth on a fight month.march,may,june,september,then back to march.eardrum,running for office,$10mil on weight and last the steroid test.

Wow, what a biased article...Is this what passes for a news story?

Can all the Boxingscene writers paid off by Arum please identify themselves once and for all...I wanna know who to ignore...

By the way, we ARE only hearing one side of the story...from the ones who broke the gag order...

doesn't matter, pac agreed to the terms, floyd didn't, hence floyd is ducking the fight

What really looks bad is that Golden Boy and Al Haymon tried to convince Floyd to take the deal and he still turned it down.

Well, it goes both ways! You dont think Bob Arum tried to convince Manny to just take the random freakin test? You dont need 30 days to recover from a blood test PERIOD!!! Ths confirms it . PAc is on that ****!!

[maddox22]

Schaefer: Oscar, Al and I think we should convince Floyd to agree to the fight already.

Al: Yeah Oscar. They have now agreed to let Pacquiao take the test 24 days before the fight and minutes after the fight. It won't be long til the people realize the burden is really on our side to let this fight happen.

Schaefer: I don't think we can make anymore excuses about the HGH windowing.

Oscar: Well, you gotta talk to Floyd into it. But I won't guarantee that he'll say yes.

Al: Yep, I know that.

Oscar: You know how much that guy worships his undefeated record. He wants Mathew.

Schaefer: I'll call him now anyway.

(Phone rings. Floyd answers phone)

Floyd: Yo! This is the pretty boy speaking. No. 1 pound for pound boxing champion! Undefeated! Undisputed! The cash cow of boxing! Who's this?

Schaefer: Uh, hello Floyd. This is me, Schaefer.

Floyd: Yo ma' man! What's up? Any news about Mathew?

Schaefer: None for now Floyd. Uh... listen... Pacquiao has agreed to be tested 24 days before the fight instead of 30. That leaves him no time to make the cycle since he will also be tested minutes after the fight. I don't think he'll ever get away with it in case he really has it in his sys-

Floyd: He's juiced up man! If my daddy says so then that's for sure!

Schaefer: Alright, alright... I don't think he'll be able to get away with it. Anyway, the blood test after the fight will surely show all the HGH and PED in his system so we really got nothing to lose. In case Manny beats you up, he'll still be disqualified after the fight and you'll still have your perfect record. Com'n Floyd this really really big money! Don't you want it?

Floyd: Uh... like how big?

Schaefer: (voice beaming now) Really big! Like you know how big the MGM Grand is?

Floyd: uhuh

Schaefer: That big! Even bigger!

Floyd: Really!?

Schaefer: Yes Floyd. That big. But wait! There's more! You'll surely be in the Hall Of Fame if you have another great fight in your record. You'll be recognized as one the ATG!

Floyd: What's ATG?

Schaefer: ALL TIME GREATS! Like Ali and Ray Robinson. This is the biggest fight of your career Floyd. You'll be remembered for this fa-

(Al takes the phone)

Al: Hello Floyd. Al here. Let's take this fight. We can make so much money here you know. They've already agreed to shorten the test period before the fight. We don't have any other excuses! The people know what we're doing Floyd. Stop chickening out! Fighting Ricky's brother would only degrade you more. Let's fight Pacquiao. What do you say?

Floyd: You know I can beat him Al. I can knock him out cold! He's just a one-dimensional fighter. He's a terrible boxer. He can't-

Al: Yada yada yada. So what's your answer? Is it a yes or a no?

Floyd: Uh... No.

Al: ****!

(Al gives the phone to Schaefer)

Schaefer: Com'n Floyd. Just say yes already. What more do you want? We all know you can beat him. Right? You're father thinks you can beat Pacquiao right? Right Floyd?

Floyd: Damn right he does! Dad said I'm gonna whoop Pacquiao's ass! I'm the best! Pacquiao is just another boxer they built up to beat me! He can't beat me. I haven't been knocked out before. Pacquiao's been knocked out before! He's no match against me. I'm gonna whoop his ass so bad he's gonna wish he never signed up for the fight! Yeah man! I'm undefeated. I have fought the best. And there's no fighter out there that can beat me. I'm the Pretty Boy Floyd!

Schaefer: Great Floyd! I totally agree with you. Pacquiao is gonna get the beating of his life! So does that mean you'll fight him?

Floyd: No.

Schaefer: ****!

its essential to hear the other side of the coin. but Arum wanted to make the first comment to make it as though, Floyd is ducking. We will see.

Schaefer and Ellerbe were both asked to comment and both refused. Why would they refuse to not let their side of the story be heard when they knew that loudmouth idiot Bob Arum would be ready and willing to say whatever came to his head.

If Schaefer and Haymon tried to get Floyd to accept the terms, what can they say to make Floyd look good? Even Ellerbe who is the master at spinning stories in Floyd's favor has no comment.

The silence is damning.
