Comments Thread For: Mayweather Has a History of Being a 'Coward,' Says Arum

[hdogg]

I thought that Mayweather would win this in a tough 12 rd decision based on great boxing skills. However, I have always questioned Floyd's choice of opponents at the welterweight level. Like Arum said there was never a fight with Cotto, Mosely or Clottey. Floyd also walked away from 9 million dollars to fight Margarito some years back. At the time it would've been Floyd's biggest payday. Floyd is an excellent fighter but until he start fighting the top opponents he won't be on my all time great list. I find it comical when he mentions himself alongside Ali & Sugar Ray Robinson.

you should have applied for the judge position on the fight. Pac won and thats it, its on the book.

suuure....
but just between me and you..Marquez won!

[R.M {7}]

what proof do you have of this other than Arum's Word?

The other team not saying anything back? Even with Don Rafeal from ESPN continuely calling them for their side of story?

Maybe that's enough proof I need to know that it's true.

I'll reserve judgement on Floyd until I hear what his camp says...


Lol at Floyd being scared of rematching Oscar tho...

[damned1974]

This would almost be believable if Floyd didn't beat oscar easily 8 rds to 4. It would almost be believable if Arum wasn't comparing Mayweather to SRR and SRL when he was in the top ranks stable. It would almost be believable if Shane Mosley didn't say he had a toothache and wanted to go on a vacation when asked about a fight with Mayweather in 2006. It would almost be believable if Cotto didn't say "he was not ready for floyd" when he was still at 140. It would almost be believable if Floyd did not leave Arum and tell him to get ****ed just before he exploded and became the PPV generator he is today. It would almost be believable if Pac and team did not come up with childish excuses and file frivolous lawsuits to avoid random PED testing. It would almost be believable if they didn't ask for a 10 mil per pound penalty over the 147 limit. It would almost be believable if they hadn't already lined up a replacement for Floyd before the fight was officially over.


This is Arum in damage control.....pure and simple!!!!!

Very good observation! No matter what,Manny bailed out on a fight that would have made him possibly 40 million dollars because he had to play "tough negotiator" when it came to these random blood tests.Think about this long and hard,because only a fool would turn down this offer if they were really playing fair...

[JCaster]

Floyd came from WWE what do you expect..

[DeLaHoya1fan]

LMAO@ him mentioning mayweather being afraid of an Oscar De La Hoya Rematch

Arum is right on that one. Mayweather was lucky to be gifted the decision the first time.

[yah_boxing]

arum is full of it - at the end of the day drug tests should be random anyway.. i mean how can a fighter have full knowledge of when they are having tests it gives them an a window in which to take them

the only reason this fight is not happen is because of pacquiao, both fighters are going through the same process so there is no advantage either side..

pacquiao take the tests if u have nothing to hide and arum shut ur mouth

[jorivers]

richest fight will go on

Pac vs Gay is off in the ring, but the richest fight will go on in the courts. Promoters can still make a fortune out of this law suit. Make it a live tv coverage thru Pay per View.

[PACsiwon]

huh

i really donty know why promoter bob arum is insisting floyd jr. to manny, infact floyd jr. is scared of manny. bob arum should look for other fighter like yuri foreman who has a wba belt rather than floyd jr. with nothing..... floyd jr. has only his egg cause he is a big CHICKEN FIGHTER....
