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

[LeadUppercut]

Does this sound like a negotiation to the biggest fight in the world ,,, sounds more like a used car sale between buddies ,,,, something wrong with Arums version of a high profile negotiation , he said himself he made no contact with Floyds Team , I find that just hard to digest , I know if I wanted the fight I,d be talking to the people that can make the decisions not some third wheel saying take it easy .

AGREED !!

Arum talks ****, and has done repeatedly.

And it's not like Greenburg's gonna release a statement to confirm/deny.

Floyd dont live in an internet forum , he probably dont know 1/1000 of the **** thats going on in the public arena , the big thing is Arum never spoke directly to Team Mayweather , I find that bazaar .

bizzarre how floyd has twitter accounts which he constantly updates, facebook account which he updates (where even fans can even post on)

http://twitter.com/FloydMayweather

http://www.facebook.com/FloydMayweather

and you're telling us floyd doesnt have a grip on what goes on around him? i mean just look at the response on his updates.

and why would arum talk directory to floyd's people when that **** failed the first time around. he did the right thing by letting the man paying both fighter's checks negotiate the fight

What i want to read is a direct quote from Ross Greenberg himself. Though Floyd's camp is getting less and less credible as time passes, it would be a big boost for everyone if Greenberg would clarify things with his own words.

Since when does Greenburg speak through the press? Given his position, it is probably more in his interest not to go spouting off about fight negotiations to the press, not just in this case, in any case.

Last Friday, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum held a late night conference call with the press to discuss the details behind the ongoing negotiations to make a November fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. According to Arum, the negotiations had been ongoing for the past two months, with HBO President of Sports, Ross Greenburg, acting as the intermediary between himself and Mayweather's manager, Al Haymon.

Is this now what boxing has become??? I love the internet for various reasons but the internet absolutely kills sports - probably guys like Robinson, Leonard, Ali were these kind of divas too, but you heard little of it and at least you had the picture that these cats were real men... today it sounds like no, we can't fight I want that my boxing gloves get powdered with ***** lemon spray... but he wants it with vanilla taste - we ain't have a deal - god daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn...

I love both Pac and May - but this **** is really getting out of hand - somebody call them and tell them to behave like adults...

I tell it like it is - I have no problem if May takes an vacation but if his first fight after that is not with Pacquiao - I don't give a **** about him anymore...

Pacquiao in the meantime can fight guys but don't give me that Cotto **** (I love Cotto but we know how it ends) - I don't know why Margarito deserves a shot against Pacquiao (with the exception that he is with toprank) but I'm ok with it as long Pac kills him in Mexico... bring on guys like Bradley, Mosley (first see how he does against Mora) Berto whatever - I'm ok with that...

There are fights that a lot of ppl wanna see - and then there are fights that all ppl wanna see - Pacquiao-May is the only fight that everybody wants to see - let it get juicy - but freakin' get it done daaaaaaaaaaamn...

Leonard Ellerbe = Baghdad Bob

Floyd Mayweather Jr is the Greatest Coward Fighter of All Time!

[Check_hooks]

Arum is right that team mayweather is acting crazy

i think team mayweather is on the pipe that smokes rocks

mayweather sr has a history of smoking crack so ellerbe can easily get his fat hands on some and that might explain the bizarre statements coming outta team mayweather

This is one of the RARE cases that needs special attention, just like steve job's iphone4 antennagate. If he continues this farce of a situation, boxing as a whole will most likely suffer in terms of interest by the fans.

[wengz2002]

Does anyone really believed, Ross Greenburg let this fight get away without a try???? You don't need to be a genius to figure it out...

Obviously, Mayweather's camp LIE on this one~~~

[Boss Don]

"What Ross [Greenburg] told me is that he said 'don't go crazy, take it easy, and we're still trying to make the fight" - Bob Arum.





Ok, Arum is a lying scumbag, but since lately it looked like Ellerbe's a bigger one at that.

And if this is true, then DAMN, Team Mayweather's in trouble in the future HBO dealings.

Obviously Greeburg see too much money in here for Pac-May. And he's trying to pacify Arum? to make the fight still.

But what happens if this is all over?

What will HBO do to Floyd?

HBO won't do nothing to Floyd lol Floyd is Mr. HBO himself without Floyd no PPV gets sold its that simple and HBO knows this
