Mayweather “Deadline” Approaches: You Can’t Be Buying This, Can You?

[PrinceCharlez]

I posted about this same exact theory you've posted in my own thread before reading this. Does anyone else see the carnival, hocus pocus, hucksteresque, smoke screen honest Arum the lawyer is trying to pull over on the sheep at the expense of making Floyd look "afraid" when there is NO negotiations going on between the two parties to begin with? Take off your fanboy masks and open your eyes people.

The real fight they are making for Manny are behind the scenes with a spoon fed in-house title given to him by Margacheato to use as a future "upper hand leverage" against Mayweather. These "alleged" negotiations are only to try to make Manny look like he wants Floyd and Floyd look bad when there are no talks about a fight between the two in November to begin with. Honest Arum the lawyer will use Manny, his in-house fighters, and his "fans" to bilk them out of as much money he can to line his own pockets.

The below says it all...

Until the alleged negotiations and contracts are substantiated by a source other than Bob Arum, Top Rank or Team Pacquiao,[B] they should be regarded as nothing more than a pathetically cynical hype job aimed at saving face at the expense of another man’s reputation.

My question is how do u give the cash cow a dead line??

You don't.

You tell everyone you did and it becomes truth.

so wat are this floyd fans trying to say?

that floyd is ignoring all this negotiation and not trying to make this fight happen just for the fans?
i agree with some people here that say if arum was lying about negotiation being agreed by both parties why is the other side so quiet and no response?

and where the heck is floyd right now? HE IS AS GOOD AS IN RETIREMENT :///

is he really that scared of pac and trying to avoid pac and all floyd fans trying to save his arse by making him look like he wants to fight pac but ignoring this negotiation? is that how dumb floyd fans are?

[Alibata]

*****s coming up with every excuse in the book to allow crackbaby jr to avoid pac.

I know. *****s can't even agree on an excuse and let their individual imaginations run rampant. How many conspiracy theorists do we have on here. So many varied imaginations conjuring up different ****. It is kinda amusing really.

Think...EVERYTHING we know about these alleged negotiations has come from Arum's mouth...take it all with a grain of salt.

By the way, I'm the writer of the article posted in this thread. The smart fight fans need to start getting together to debunk the garbage that gets passed off as truth these days.

I may be wrong and I will happily admit being wrong, but when one side says that nothing is going on and the other says that negotiations are complete...something smells rotten. Top Rank has already made moves to reinstate Margarito and has flown to Puerto Rico to talk with Cotto, well before any deadline had passed...let me ask you, are these the actions of someone looking to fight Mayweather or of someone looking for an in-house replacement because they know nothing at all has really been worked out?

Floyd jr certainly knows whats going around,

He's been to youtube his favorite place so far to voice up his Opinion,

Floyd jr., have a responsibility to Boxing Fans around the world and to all his media people supporters to come out and explains his decision.

He can't just allow people to talk in behalf of him.

This just in: “Writer, Paul Magno, and Shakira’s representatives come to terms for weekend-long sex romp…Shakira’s approval needed.”

As ridiculous as the above statement sounds, that’s the line of logic that Bob Arum and Team Pacquiao want us to buy when it comes to the alleged negotiations for a November Mayweather-Pacquiao mega-bout.

And now, to make things even more hilariously over the top, Arum has given Mayweather a Friday deadline to sign this alleged contract before Pacquiao turns his attention to other endeavors and other possible opponents.

At this point, though, it needs to be pointed out that nobody outside of Arum and Pacquiao adviser, Michael Koncz, has even acknowledged the existence of any such contract. As a matter of fact, everything we know about the supposed negotiations and subsequent contract has come directly from the mouth of Bob Arum. Golden Boy has said nothing and, as of a few weeks ago, Mayweather adviser, Leonard Ellerbe, denied that there were any negotiations going on at all.

So, what we’re looking at is this: Arum says that negotiations are taking place, but that all details were strictly confidential due to an alleged, self-imposed gag order that, by the way, Arum, Pacquiao and Koncz have regularly broken over the course of the last several weeks. Then, suddenly, a contract is produced for Mayweather to sign and, on this contract, are the conditions allegedly hammered-out in the Arum-Golden Boy-Mayweather negotiations which, again, nobody will even acknowledge. And, now, Mayweather is issued a deadline to sign this supposed contract.

The questions that any smart fight fan should be asking are the following: If negotiations have been completed and a finalized contract produced from said negotiations, why didn’t Golden Boy join Arum in announcing the completed and finalized talks? For that matter, why was Golden Boy put into such a high position when it came to negotiations when they are not Mayweather’s promoter? Golden Boy is a third party hired by Mayweather Promotions to act as a go-between on occasion, but they would not have been negotiating if not contracted to do so by Team Mayweather. So, logically, Golden Boy could not have hammered out any deals or agreed on any conditions without the full knowledge of Mayweather. Why would there even be a need for Mayweather to sign-off on anything? Golden Boy couldn’t have acted on any terms without Mayweather’s ultimate approval.

Sorry, but when being asked to take sides in a “he said vs. he said” debate, I’m not going to automatically believe an admitted liar and confessed briber of officials. The only reasonable way to remove all doubt is if Arum decided to make copies of the alleged contract in question and send them to the media or post a copy of the contract, in full form, on the Top Rank website for all to see. Then, and only then, we can find out what’s really going on here. After all, if both parties are in agreement over the finalized contract, there should be no problem from either side when it comes to sharing the contract with the world. The details will eventually be made public anyway via the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

We all know that the above won’t happen, but it sure would go a long way in terms of establishing credibility on this issue, wouldn’t it?

Forget the garbage propaganda published on other sites and by other writers. Forget any personal dislike you may have for Floyd Mayweather Jr and let’s use some logic here. The story that Arum and Team Pacquiao are trying to sell us just doesn’t make sense. And until the alleged negotiations and contracts are substantiated by a source other than Bob Arum, Top Rank or Team Pacquiao, they should be regarded as nothing more than a pathetically cynical hype job aimed at saving face at the expense of another man’s reputation.

I'm sure negotiations are happening. Arum's said far too much for Mayweather's camp not to properly respond and state they haven't been in contact.

And it is reasonable to believe a deadline is in place, as after Clottey a November date was touted by Pac's camp as his next fight. So yes, a deadline must be in place as November is just over a few months away now.

Whether what Arum is saying about the negotiations is entirely true I don't know, he's a nobhead so I doubt it, but I'm sure there are negotiations, as well as a deadline by which he would like the deal finalised.

[Reloaded]

Arum believes you can milk a cow lots of times , you can only kill it once , he dont want Floyd killing his cow .

The smart posters and the smart media already knows whats going on here, The ******ed ones and those who doesnt like Mayweather are the only ones who can really apply logic here. They would rather believe Arum with "Mayweather" is scared logic.. Like i said yesterday only a moron would fall for Arum's BS twice.

No you're not wrong, Unless GBP or ellerbe comes out and says they are indeed negotiating with Arum then i dont believe any BS that comes from Top rank, To me Arum is setting a "Deadline" that doesnt exist so when he annouces a Pac-Margarito/Cotto fight the "media" could then blame Mayweather for not accepting terms.

Only a moron would not see Arum's BS here.
