    "And I also informed him about the concessions that Manny had made regarding drug testing. He got back to me in a couple of weeks and told me he had discussed it with Al Haymon, and everything looked good and we were nearing a resolution.

    "They kept assuring Greenburg, at least based on what Greenburg told me, that Haymon told him he was working on it [and] expecting [a commitment from Mayweather] shortly and it never materialized. I don't blame Haymon. I think Haymon really tried, at least based on what I hear from Greenburg."

    HAHA

    Arum lied again you can cry and cry till you are blue in the face but he took you for a MUG!

      Not like a saint Ray. I have not made one single thread about this whole deal, nor commented about it at all just waiting for the outcome. But this fight should have been signed and it didn't. Now I'm reading all these posts and threads mad at Manny for continuing on and look up at this dude saying that Floyd MOVES AT HIS OWN PASE b.s. and i've still yet to read anything from Floyd regarding this. But I can tell what will that be: a. I'm my own boss b. I run this and they wanted my to sign c. I don't need him d. Bob Arum blah blah blah e. He's on steroids, piss test f. All of the above... shameful if you ask me. If he wanted the fight and didn't agree with the terms sit down and fix it. But all this time, i've only seen TR pushing for the fight so it is what it is

          I believe this is another one of Arum's lies. I believe he sent Greenburg their terms and said 'Floyd can take it or leave it.' Haymon took this info to Floyd and Floyd chose to ignore it and I don't blame him.

              Waste of time man, Pac will always get the blame from some people and the obvious silence and failure to sign by the deadline and non-rebuttals from anyone in the Mayweather camp is not enough for some to realize who's fault it is for this fight not happening. There will be excuse after excuse after excuse to defend him by his true, hardcore fans. The media will crucify him though.......

                LOL, the point is man....why let your boy get painted as a chicked for no good reason? All Mayweather ever had to do was go on TV and say "that old fool sent me some garbage contract that I didn't agree to" and all your accusations would be validated and Floyd's rep would be cleared.

                Why not say anything at all and take a public image hit like that? Isn't Floyd surrounded and promoted by smart people that know how this could affect his marketability?

                Oh wait.............................................. .....................................unless it was true and they don't know what to say!!!!!!!!!!!

                  Its a shame man. I really wanted to see this, could care less who wins. It was all about THE fight, much like trinidad-dlh.

                    Thank God, Someone that i could actually discuss boxing with:

                    Back to the topic, People seem to be looking for someone to blame and the easy target is Mayweather, Its like if they blame Arum then they are kinda blaming Pacquiao so they try to divert the attention to Mayweather why?

                    Why shouldnt Mayweather be silent? Why shouldnt he have ego? In the last negotiation Arum and Pac were very difficult to deal with and this was confirm by the mediator.

                    You dont give someone like Mayweather an ultimatum especially when you lied to people that you are in "DISCUSSION" with him, And you lied to people that you sent him a "PROPOSAL" etc

                    Like Mayweather said in May to Larry Merchant he isnt difficult to find if you want the fight "Random drug test all the way up to the fight".........No need to negotiation on that apart from the money split.

                      Man Gtfoh with with that bull****. Nobody with any sense is blaming PAC. The blame is going in bob lying azz. But what's funny is bob cont. To lie and you dudes see that it's true.

                      1st he said he sent it to GB and they approved it and all Floyd has to do is sign it.

                      And now he saying he didn't speak to gb or Floyd at all.
