Has there ever been a boxer more diva-like about contracts than Floyd Mayweather Jr.?

[AFighter4U]

Do you read anything I just wrote to you...???

"All of the deal points have been agreed to,"

Leonard Ellerbe said. "We still have to put pen to paper, but everything is agreed to. It's with the lawyers."

Didn't you read the rest of the article?

"Yet five days later, Schaefer still does not have a signed agreement from Mayweather. He was clearly at wit's end when he called me about it Tuesday morning.

"He still hasn't signed. I am so frustrated," Schaefer said. "I wanted both guys to go down to the Super Bowl in Miami to do some promotional stuff. I don't know what Floyd is waiting for. I have no clue. I have a signed contract from Shane on my desk. I have nothing from Floyd."

Everything is ready. If floyd had any respect for his own promoter, doesn't he owe him at least a single phone call telling him that they're still ironing out something?

Now i know there is a process in making contracts cuz i've made several and myself but does it actually take 5 DAYS TO IRON OUT DETAILS WHERE EVERYONE IS ALREADY AGREED TO?!?!?!

5 Days and counting.

And no word from Floyd whose always been so talkative.

That or they should fire the secretary typing their contracts.

Oscar was a prick and the worst there was when it came to the paper work......but Money is on his way down that road......Floyd will sign, but its just a shame that his signature is the one thats missing right now.....somebody put a search team together and go find that boy's signature!!!!......he pissin me off!!

[adobostreak]

it has only been 14 days/ 2 weeks everybody calm down... LOL
the fight is not until May 1.

Let the Lawyers do their job.

Obivousy you never had to sign any type of contracts in your life, because if you did you would understand that once you agree to the terms of the contract, then the lawyers check out the legality of the contract and tie up any loopholes and clean up any wet spots their may be in the contract.
It is called making sure everybody honors the contract legally without finding a loophole to jump out of.

Say Mayweather vs. Mosely does 1.5 million buys.
and Say Mayweather agree to give Mosley additional 500k for every number over 1.2 million homes. Now let's say in the contract it writes that Mosley is entitled to 500k in addition to bonuses for every number over 1.2 million homes.

That right there would be a loophole for Mosley/Goldenboy to claim more money than Mayweather agreed too.

This is why it is up to the Lawyers too look for and find loopholes in the contract so this type of situation does not happen.

this **** usually takes up to 2 weeks to be thoroughly done so calm down and LET THE LAWYERS DO THEIR JOBS.

“It seems patently obvious to me that Floyd and his minions killed the Pacquiao fight. The bottom line is that the fight was basically a done deal before they decided to inject the demands for blood testing into the picture. Pure and simple, Golden Boy and Floyd and his advisers created the problem, and it ended up killing the fight.”

-Al Bernstein, Showtime Boxing Analyst


"Mayweather shouldn't be making accusations without a shred of proof as he tries to discredit all of Pacquiao's great accomplishments, nor should he try to circumvent the Nevada rules by asking for blood tests when the commission has never asked for them."

- Dan Rafael from ESPN


"There were times during the past month when the conduct of Team Mayweather had the look of an effort to sabotage the fight. A negotiator who wants to make a deal doesn’t go out of his way to antagonize and publicly embarrass the other side. But that’s what the Mayweathers and Golden Boy did."

- Thomas Hauser, HBO.com


“I don’t see any reason of accusing Manny of using illegal drugs in our fight.”

- Jim Strickland, David Diaz's Manager/Trainer/retired licensed pharmacist


"I don't think Manny is on anything. He's just on top of his game right now."

- Timothy Bradley, WBO/WBC Jr. Welterweight Champion


"Who is Mayweather to ask for the tests? Why didn’t he ask Marquez? Manny’s not on 'roids."

- James Toney, Multi division Champion


"I think it fell apart because basically Mayweather never wanted to fight Pacquiao. He wants to continue and fight guys he can beat and fool the public.

- Mike Silver, noted Boxing Historian


"Hell naw. Why change the rules on me? Because I'm coming up in weight means I'm doing steroids? They're giving you a test for that anyway. It would be something that would aggravate me because then after I beat you, I was on something, don't play with me. Either you want to fight or you don't want to fight."

- Roy Jones, Jr.

Pac's accusers:

1. A convicted drug dealer

2. A Xylocaine user

3. A charged woman beater

4. Their moronic fans who go on accusing with no proof whatsoever


GET AN EDUCATION, IT'S WORTH IT!!!
