Comments Thread For: A Big Hole in Team Mayweather's "No Negotiations" Claim

[Sugar Q]

if you wanna see the fight, then help public pressure floyd into fighting pac. stop defendin him and giving him excuses why the fight can't happen.

Pressure Floyd? You mean pressure Bob Arum to risk his cash cow. It aint gonna happen. This is all about Arum. It's very clear when you look at Pac's opponent selections. Bob Arum is scared to lose his cash cow especially to Floyd.

Why are you on here TODAY acting like no negotiations took place while yesterday you had some inside information?

Many people (myself included) took this to mean that Team mayweather never responded. That was not the case. There was a back-n-forth dialogue between the camps.

That is what you said, your direct quote on the third paragraph.

Are you fraud? Are you not who you say you're? Or is your source a fraud?

This is exactly why I don't engage people like him. He, burner and horus are all cut from the same cloth. Nothing but huge agendas no matter what lies they have to tell, no matter what way they have to twist facts, no matter what truths they leave out.

Once many of you start ignoring them and responding to their bull****, the better your NSB experience will be.

You can't pressure Floyd into doing ****. Just like you can't pressure Pac into taking full random blood test. Just let it go. If it happens it happens. Fightin each other on boxingscene.com is not gonna make it happen.

now if this is their damage control then their ****ed up, lolz. its basically the whole world and HBO's ross greenburg against them, everyone is talking about this fight plus a gag order on both negotiators camp. WTF are they thinking? ****** ellerbe lolz. only *****'s would believe this hahaha

Dan Rafael on top of things as always.

When asked for his response to Ellerbe's surprising statement, Greenburg said in an e-mail to ESPN.com, "As always we have no comment."

Arum sounded utterly perplexed when reached for comment about the statement.

"This is like absurd unreality," Arum said when reached at his Los Angeles vacation home. "I'm not going to be party to this [expletive]. When I heard about [the statement] I thought it was a joke. Ross said he was talking to Haymon. He certainly wasn't making it up. And Haymon was relaying conversations to Ross allegedly that Floyd had with him. At least that is what Ross says."

Throughout May and June when the negotiations were supposedly taking place, Arum refused to speak about them. He would cite a "gag order," which he said everyone involved had agreed to. Schaefer did the same thing and would sometimes say "no comment" when called before even being asked a question because the "gag order" had become such a joke in boxing circles.

Oscar De La Hoya, the founder and president of Golden Boy Promotions, acknowledged negotiations during an early June appearance on a talk show on Spanish-language network Univision. During his appearance, in which he spoke Spanish, De La Hoya said the deal for the fight was very close.

When the camps negotiated the bout in December and January in anticipation of it happening in March, both sides spoke freely to the media, and their comments, they said, contributed to the fight blowing up over an inability to finalize the drug testing protocol.

This time, both sides said, they would keep things private.

"If there is no negotiation, who imposed the gag order," Arum said. "Why they're doing this is absurd. What is motivating them to put something like this out? I'm not going to speculate but what are they doing? Schaefer said there was a gag order. Who could there be a gag order from if there were no negotiations? From the sky?

"What they said was absurd, but why did they say this? They could say a lot of other things. My feeling is that this is rapidly becoming one of the most bizarre things ever."

...

"The kid [Mayweather] said he doesn't want to fight. OK, good," Arum said. "But this makes everybody look crazy."

Seems Ross Greenburg is still respecting the gag order on non-existent negotiations

Tsk tsk tsk,THE CASH COW OF BOXING IS COWARD...

Floyd has the G.E.D fan base in his pocket.

What he's really saying is try to pressure Floyd into doing whatever Manny says because it's Floyd's fault for not letting Manny have his way.
