Comments Thread For: Arum Responds To "Bizarre" Team Mayweather Claim

[The Big Dunn]

Ahhh see and therein lies the truth somewhere in that question.

Okay they say Pac isn't all that impressive, that his competition and wins are overrated, which suggests he isn't all that great to begin with...fair enough argument, but look deeper. Seems like this would be an opportunity that Floyd would jump at, since it's his modus operandi to cherry pick competition--so for someone who is viewed as ordinary by most Mayweather supporters, why would someone "ordinary" warrant extra testing procedures?

I think Floyd wins but in the back of his mind, he knows his marketability rests on keeping that 0, once that is gone...watch the bridge crumble. He is emotionally fragile and the cracks will show.

QUick question, Is manny afraid to fight tim bradley because tim called him out on national TV?

[Sugar Q]

so a charge is an conviction now...C'mon son, u 32 yrs old, i would hope u had some type of interaction with women especially a scorned one.

and you are crazy to believe some popularity contest overules making more overall money, making more gate money, and selling more PPV.

it is an emotional decision if u take short money or less money than your worth just to shut up some fickle fans who prilly will never like u anyways to prove a point. remember floyd is a prize fighter and so is manny...and ultimately that is the problem. manny got people telling him he is just as big of star. he think he on par with floyd star status and that is why this fight hasn't happened

Great post my dude but hatas wont grab it.

So did Paul Williams, Marquez and Mosley.

I dont see how the evidence supprots Arum claim when he has been the only 1 talking. Nobody else has said anything...

only evidence i see is Arum making up who he has been talking to each week. 1 week it's goldenboy and the next it's ross greenburg an HBO exec who can't negotiate anything!!!

That's true. But at the same time it's inconceivable that Arum would say all of that about Greenburg, and then, if it's untrue, Greenburg just stays silent. Why would the President of HBO Sports let lies be said about him, and not refute them, when he needs good relations with Floyd and GBP?

So while Arum's a nobhead, I'm sure this must be true that Greenburg was negotiating.

And I highly doubt Greenburg was sitting at a desk negotiating with himself. Floyd and his camp must have had some form of contact with him and known about the procedure.

and pac didnt. he ran to fight clottey but now he want s 50/50 and 14 days which is off the table.

pac give up the lionsgate share to floyd and full ost testing and we willhave a fight

Just.........anyways.Dont make me get big-worded arum with you.You have absolutly no idea what you talking about.





He gave floyd what he wanted.You blind my man? EVERYTHING FLOYD WANTED.If he didnt give mayweather the 60/40 split,mayweather would raise WWIII all over the media.He's been quiet for weeks,now he wants to pop up and claim theyre were "no talks"?



Look brah go support you fighter somwhere else,a non-boxing fan could dissect this with ease.

because that is what the devil do....he tell 1/2 truths. Is greenburg in the picture somewhere, prolly so but is it what Arum is saying...i doubt it. i don't think there was every true negotiation. I think alot of the issue were still unsettled and Arum is doing what devils do...MANIPULATE!

How does Tim Bradley relate to two men who generate comparable PPV numbers?

And yes from a competitive standpoint I would say that he should face Bradley.

[Grange_27]

Mayweather is a fantastic fighter but will never have the heart or guts to be a legend.

He's scared of losing his 0 simple as that. Pac wants the fight and Mayweather doesn't. Hope he enjoys his retirement probably until he runs out of money and a washed up FMJ gets sparked by some young gun who Mayweather no longer has the influence to avoid for big $.

Maybe then he'll regret not going for it when he had the chance.

Lol, Floyd's uncle said Manny wouldn't agree with the unrestricted OST and his Sr. just came out and said Floyd would NEVER accept 50/50 and the inside word is that was what Top Prank offered which they knew would be turned down.

Arum said some direct things about what Greenburg was telling him. He may have embellished certain parts of the overall story, but there are still those direct parts of his story about his contact with Greenburg.

I can only assume that contact and those statements were true as I'm sure the President of HBO Sports would say otherwise if someone was putting words into his mouth. Because he's the President of HBO Sports and wouldn't want to misrepresented when he has close ties with BOTH parties.

If the statements were true, then it follows that Greenburg couldn't possibly have been negotiating with himself, as what's the point in that? There must have been contact with Floyd's camp.
