IN these failed negotiations the only person who can be believed is Bob Arum.He said negotiations were in place and he couldnt talk because of the privacy agreement.If no negotiations were taking place Mayweather or his team would have issued a public statement at a credible station like ESPN especially since he claims he is not thinking about boxing or taking time off.Many t.v stations would have loved to hear such a story.
When Arum claimed there had been an agreement,team Mayweather could still have said no negotiations had ever taken place.Arum did issue a deadline and there was no secret about it.Arum even had a clock on his website.The press conference which was set wasnt a secret.What was so difficult about a Team Mayweather person calling and telling Arum that no such negotiations had ever taken place.Whatever happened to Positive Learning Transfer especially for someone who calls himself a businessman like Mayweather?
When Mayweather was asked about the fight after Arum's deadline,he said he wasnt thinking about boxing.He never mentioned that no negotiations ever took place.That same day Roger Mayweather was supposed to be on a Boxing Truth interview to discuss the negotiations and he was pulled out last minute.Why would Roger need to talk about negotiations which never took place?Jeff Mayweather gave an interview to Fight Hype a website which is very close to the Mayweather's just before Ellerbe's statement was issued.Jeff said the sticking problem was the purse split.
I cant fault Mayweather's fighting.He is the best at what he does and I am a fan but he's no saint.I am not saying he is scared of Pacquiao neither am I saying Pacquiao is a better boxer but Mayweather is wrong in these negotiations.He might not have agreed to Pacquiao's demands but claiming no negotiations took place when he was quiet all along is unacceptable.If I was to believe someone in this,I would believe Bob arum,he did everything in the public eye and gave the world a chance to ask questions.No one from Mayweather says anything.Guys let's not be fooled we are not kids.
