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

[GRUSTLER]

Honestly, I just think Boxing is like a bank to deposit and withdraw
money from for Floyd Mayweather Jr. He is in some ways a very
smart business guy but this move is weak at best. He had Manny
on the ropes and just backed off and let him get back in the fight.

Pedantic. It's still part of the negotiation process; preliminiary negotiations.

As for paperwork, I'm sure it's with Arum and Haymon and Greenburg. I doubt they'll release it though as the inner details will almost certainly be confidential.

Ok, u can minimize it all you want...but when it comes to making the biggest fight in the sport, u might want to pay attention to the details.

i guess we are going to agree to disagree becuase there is no way you are going to convince me that prelim talks are actually negotiating.

Hater? wow.



I know the history about mosley.He's not getting a plus either,but the fact that floyd always,yes always creates some type of problems when it comes to negotiations makes it alot harder to be convinced.I beleive pacquiao isnt the only fighter out there right now capable of beating mayweather.There are plenty.And vice versa theyre are some guys WHO CAN BEAT pacquiao.


Alot of your stands are about whats best for floyd business wise,personal etc etc yet have not figure out pacquiao is in the same game.The same game brotha.Pwillz? Bradley? you cant be right. Theyre not even promoted right.They got no cash flow,Williams barely squeezing in from martinez? bradley fighting in only 12k capcity crowds? naaaaaah.Then you may fans talk about why doesnt pacquio fight pwill or bradley? hello no $$$$.This is a living too

name another time when there was problem with negotiations? what fight did Floyd start negotiating and it didn't happen or almost didn't happen besides pacquiao. I can name a few fights of pacquaio that didn't happen or almost didn't becuase he was acting like a diva

they're biggest mistake was actually abiding to the gag order and letting Arum disregard the gag and shape and form the story. Now despite Arum history of pulling shenanigans, its look as if Floyd don't want to make the fight happen.

Looks like? Floyd Mayweather Jr said he doesn't want
to fight bottomline.

Man, give it up already. Floyd is on vacation, you can either focus on other things or you can pay $59.99 to watch him lounge on a beach, which is about as entertaining as one of his fights.

There were negotiations, Floyd didn't want to fight. Stop trying to twist it into something it's not, he said it himself, he's not thinking about boxing. Move on.

*****s eat crow.

Floyd Mayweather is just not interested in Pacquiao PERIOD.. Never was from day one.. Lets just move on......

I like pac but to insinuate Floyd is afraid of Pac is ridiculous. But if what you say helps you sleep at night then by all means keep doing what your doing. The fight will get done later next year and in the mean time, pac can keep winning and keep looking like a winner, that is until the Superfight we've all been waiting for gets signed. From a business perspective, you have to think like Floyd to know why he did what he did. Keep hating, talking ****, convincing yourselves he's scared because none of it will mean a thing when the fight gets signed and the fight is over. That's when it will matter and i'm content knowing that I will be on the side that will be saying

"I TOLD YOU SO!"

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/QUOTE]




At this point your rediculous to believe anything from floyd's camp.Havent you learned from yesterday's articles? lol

And your any less ridiculous for believing anything coming from the shady borderline scenile Arum?

At this point, None of them make sense. Arum for pretending like they wanted a fight with Floyd when he was planning to throw Plasterito in there with Pac from the very beginning of the "negotiations

What is Arum supposed to do, he puts a contract in to Greenburg who puts it in to Haymon. Floyd doesn't want the fight so he just ignores it. In the mean time, Arum's waiting for a counter offer but hears nothing so he assumes that the contract is fine.

The deadline is approaching and he's saying "hey guys what's up, are you going to sign or give me a counter offer". The deadline passes and all of a sudden Ellerbe is stating that there wasn't any negotiations... WTF??

Floyd didn't want the fight but he didn't let anyone know till now, this is hardly Bob's fault.
