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

[BuckToothed]

Arum basically said everything was agreed on by “both camps” all that was needed was for to Floyd to sign than later admitted that he had no direct talks with anybody from Floyd’s camp.

OK, enough of this ****** reading incomprehension...
Arum didn't negotiate directly with Floyd's camp since that didn't turn well the first time around.
Just because he went thru a mediator, doesn't mean he didn't negotiated.
They actually used a qualified mediator in HBO's Greenburg, since he wouldn't be biased between the two fighters and his only gain is if the fight is made.

So for you ****** illiterates, Arum dealt with Greenburg who dealt with Haymon, equals NEGOTIATIONS...

Now tell me, with all the trouble that Arum had in the past with lying on record, you think it's best for him to hold a press conference and implicate a top executive? think hard before replying.

Its game over... Floyd is in a corner, he comes out smellin like punani. *****s are at their wits end trying to defend their boy but it is useless now, like a water gun against a raging inferno.

i'm a floyd fan, but i'm no nuthugger......i ain't riding with nobody on this ****, at this point it's ridiculous.



ALL these dudes, from arum to ellerbe, are lying about something or another. i've never seen grown men act more like bitches, in my life!


it's at the point now, where if manny and floyd wanna fight, cut the ****in ****, and sign the fight. if they don't, **** both of 'em.

Here is a simple question. Why didn't soldierboy promotions refute these claims weeks ago?

[empiricix]

Did Top rank make a serious offer to Team Mayweather? Afterall, Arum hadn't even talked to a single member of Team Mayweather! Allegedly, he went through Ross greenburg for negotiations when greenburg is not a promotor nor an adviser for Mayweather. Nor is he looking out for Floyd's best interest so how is he be consulted with in regards to negotiations. It is hard to believe that the contract or contract negotiaiton is real, but simply a fairy tale....a fallacy construed by Top rank to sway the public and media into their favor. Top rank wants us to believe that Floyd is the hold up, that he is depriving the fans the fight of century! But hey, that is all just speculation and opinion. But these are the facts that led me to this specualtion and form these opinions.

Clottey fight in Dallas

Top rank making the clottey fight in dallas was the 1st move to side step a potential Floyd fight this year. 1st off, Arum knows that Floyd isn't fighting anywhere else but Vegas. So he develops a relationship with Jerry jones to land multiple fights at Dallas stadium. the 1st fight was with Clottey and the 2nd fight will be with Margarito who will most likely get his license renewed in Texas before any other commission. This way Arum can take advantage of the geography being close to Mexico and keeping all the $$$ in-house

there was an article on this very site where margarito stated Arum promised him pacquiao! now they may be scheduled for a fight for a vacant title at 154 which would be pacquaio's so-called 8th title in 8 different weight classes

Top Rank then got Cotto into position to become champ at 154 just after his loss to Pacquiao. How does Cotto get a title shot after taking a 1-sided loss...I'll tell you why , so that pacquiao can have shot at a so-called 8th title

Top rank was also pushing cotto and margarito has opponents for Pacquiao ever since the Mosley win. Arum even went so far to say that mosley would be floyd's toughest challenge because of his size and speed before floyd had agreed to fight Mosley

Top rank then states that their is gag order on the negotiations but continued to violate the so-called gag order every day for the last month. who states that their is a gag-order and then proceed to break the gag-order within the same statement

Then Arum states that the contract was agreed upon by all parties confirmed by golden Boy and it is awaiting Floyd's signature and then turns around last week and says that he talked to Ross Greenburg exclusively

next, he allegedly sends a contract to Team Mayweather with previous agreements that are no longer acceptable and have been publicly stated by mayweather that those agreements were null and void. And on top of that, he assessed a deadline to the best fighter of the world who genrates the most money, makes the most PPV sales, and generates the larger gate revenue in his fights in comparison to pacquiao. And nevermind in 41 fights Floyd has never lost or come close to losing, has been the best or 1 of the best since 99, and been the youngest fighters to achieve championships in multiple division while remaining undefeated and arum feels it is OK to place a pacquiao deadline on him. Top Rank does not call the shots, pacquiao does not call the shots, how dare they try and impose a deadline on this eras best fighter!

finally, once the pacquiao deadline has been given...Bob has continously pushed and rushed a decision from Team mayweather depsite the fight date being nov 13, 4 months away!!!!! And who decide nov 13, maybe Nov 13 is the only weekend that dallas is available during this NFL season. why all the urgency when the clottey fight was made in 2 mos? why nov 13th when you know floyd isn't fighting in dallas? This some BS by Arum!

Yada, yada, yada! So many excuses, rationalizations and outright falsehoods to cover up a very simple fact - Floyd don't want none of Pacquiao!

regarurdless of negotiations or not, pac and his camp and arum, along with the whole boxing world and PTI and ESPN have been calling mayweather out for a month to fight pacman...

whether or not floyd negotiated or not, he DECLINED even the idea of fighting pacman

he doesnt want none, he wont even fancy making 50 million dollars

has he been on LOST the last 60 days, all a sudden he dont know there is a fight..

what does floyd have a HOT TUB TIME MACHINE, has he been in a parallel universe, is that why he didnt know he got called out the last 2 months????

[BuckToothed]

Why dont we be really intelligent and wait cause the truth will come out.

I agree, however, may I suggest that you take your own advice?
Since you are the only one who starts each arguement with "Maybe..." and/or "I think..."

[Sugar Q]

i agree, anyone who says floyd is top 5 or top 3 all time great is out of their mind and has no right even discussing boxing..

i mean think about it.

sugar q says floyd is prob top 3 ATG


outrageous

Let's say Floyd beats Pac, Martinez, Williams and Bradley. That would make him 45-0, 6 legit world titles in 6 different division. No way he misses Top 5, would be hard to miss Top 3 and a conversation for #1 (which I think his opponents lack the greatness to put him there).

Bottom line, if Floyd goes 45-0, 6 division champion it will be hard to rank few above that.

LOL, Hot Tub Time Machine excellent movie!
Floyd is back in time, during round 2 of the Mosley fight and have to re-live that moment over and over.
Too scary of a thought to go thru that for every round with Manny.

Everybody in here has an opinion. Mine is mine and yours is yours. We're all entitled but the facts will prevail.

i'm a floyd fan, but before we start saying **** like "if" and "when" mayweather beats this guy and that, he needs to get in the ring first.
