Thomas Hauser: The Mayweather-Pacquiao Negotiations

[Vito Corleone]

Pac wanted to fight margaret... all the smoke n mirrors were not necessary.

Pac wanted to fight the guy that Mayweather's last victim destroyed. No problem....just admit it.

Wow. Did you just put Hauser in the same level as Ronnie or Mayo?

Hmmmm. I guess I did. I didn't mean to. Those two idiots you mentioned actually watch boxing. They are simply not very bright and have tunnel vision. Hauser is bright, but is one of those sports writers who only follows boxing when there is a big controversy or story taking place. Then they write columns like this that are based on limited facts, asinine opinions and the comments from the loudest talkers (in this case, Bob Arum).

Why Does Nobody - NOBODY - Back What Arum Said?

Schaefer is publicly backing Team Mayweather.

Greenburg refuses to back Arum.

Goossen said Arum's stunt was a farce.

Shaw said Arum's deadline was fake.

Nobody involved in Arum's fantasy negotiation is backing him. Why?

I don't know why some of ya'll are commending Floyd for NOT wanting this fight. Bringing up facts about how there were NO negotiations taking place.. why would this be a good thing? Ya'll ain't boxing fans..

He ain't no damn boxing fan. Guy is proudly posting messages about how NO negotiations were taking place. Dude makes no sense. You'd think he'd want to see the fight, seeing how he hugs Floyds balls every night before bed.

There are hundred of million of dollars to be made for this fight so common sense can tell you that that they aren trying to get this fight done Only gullible Floyd apologists think otherwise. Even Greenburg told to USA Today weeks ago that very few people are involve in the talk. Floyd just doesn't want to fight Pacquiao. Just like what ESPN said, he is a COWARD.

Of course. If the guys at PTI on ESPN say he is a coward, of course he is a coward. Even though those clowns never mentioned a word about boxing before Mayweather fought De La Hoya and have only mentioned it since then in relation to the Mayweather/Pac negotiations, they are experts on boxing, and they know who the cowards are. If it weren't for gullible people like you, Bob Arum would be the most trustworthy person on the planet.

This is too easy to refute

1. Actually heard that gag order from almost everyone including Floyd followers at NSB ****ting Arum/Pac/entire team for violating the gag order. They deemed Floyd's team as the professional way of doing negotiations. Did you refute the absence of such gag order before the deadline was over?
2. De la hoya denied a video? great. I do think that the best way to weed out a liar is by their initial response. By the time he denied, he already thought about the consequences/implication of that statement. I don't fault you if you choose to believe the denial version.
3. Because your reputation is at stake. The entire boxing world is talking about your cowardice. Espn even had a call out. Why do you choose to respond after the deadline is beyond my understanding? It sounds more like damage control more that anything.
4. No comment from Ross means neither denial/confimation
5,6,7. It is your opinion that those men don't represent Floyd. I'm just going by actual quotes by those men deemed to be in Floyd's team.
