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

[IMDAZED]

it isn't a serious offer? It was good enough last time though..
after that,
Pac beat Clottey
May beat Mosley
-both wins are criticized

Pac got the Fighter of the Decade Award
May got the ESPY Award

Some say May is now #1 p4p
Some stick to Pac as #1 p4p

Judging from this, i dont see a problem with 50/50..
Only thing stopping this fight from happening is whatever reason Floyd has for not accepting 14 days cutoff this time around...
Oh, and his vacation..

Quit while you're behind.

I don't think this has anything to do with the negotiations, contract
or testing. I just think that Floyd doesn't want to fight at this time.
Whatever plans he has, he is playing the game by his own rules.

[IMDAZED]

50-50, 14-day cutoff = no deal.

[GRUSTLER]

50-50, 14-day cutoff = no deal.

Was that the deal Arum forwarded over to Greenburg for Team
Mayweather?

50-50, 14-day cutoff = no deal.

90-10 split for floyd, jeff mayweather hitting manny with a bat seconds before = no deal by floyd

Here's the interview


FanHouse: So, what do you make of all of this?

Bob Arum: This is Alice In Wonderland Time. This is preposterous. It's almost like dealing with people who have lost their minds. It's totally bizarre. I mean, how do you answer to something like that?

Well, Floyd Mayweather's people are denying that a negotiations has ever taken place.

Well, Richard Schaefer has said for seven weeks that there was a gag order in place when he was asked about the negotiations. If there are no negotiations, then why or how is there a gag order and where did it come from?

So from your standpoint, all you know is what Ross has told you right, because you never have spoken directly to Al Haymon or anyone else from Floyd Mayweather's camp, correct?

All that I know is what Ross has told me. I haven't talked to anyone else. Of course Ross is not lying. Are you crazy? I talked to him today.

And what did Ross Greenburg say?

What Ross told me is that he said, 'take it easy.' He said, 'don't go crazy. Take it easy,' and 'we're still trying to make the fight.' That's what he said to me, word, for word. I guess that he thought like I would go off at this kind of ****** thing.

By we, Ross meant whom?

By we, he meant him and Al Haymon.

So your notion is still to try and go ahead and make either Antonio Margarito or Miguel Cotto unless Floyd Mayweather returns, accepts the terms and makes a deal?

I'm going ahead. I talked to the Cotto people today. I'm talking to the Margarito people tomorrow. By the end of the week, I'll have a deal.

50/50 split and tests anytime..what floyd wanted to begin with.

[shogunn]

50/50 split and tests anytime..what floyd wanted to begin with.

so he could demand even more and stall again with teh fight? its been prove he's done this, and for all we know manny already accepted it. but. floyd was never serious about any demands. Dont try to turn around on Manny.

and who cares what he wants. He's not even interested in boxing, he said it himself.

50-50, 14 day cutoff was the offer.

dela Hoya and Ellerbe contradicting each other. Floyd sr., obviously obsessed with pac calling him all sorts of names and floyd jr acting as if he's totally oblivious to the fans wanting him to fight Pac and apparently living in his own reality.

I think Pac should try negotiating with the Mayweather camp next year..... Hopefully by then, all that a-side meth would wear off their system and the Mayweather camp would start actually talking coherently.
