Top Rank Insider Exposes ARUM's Lies...

[jayblack]

Even though Arum is known for being a liar, I still find myself surprised that the guy would stoop so low ... unbelievable. I think Floyd's camp should have been more vocal to the media about when and how the fight fell through, rather than continually letting Arum manipulate the media, but either way, Arum is a bastard.

I totally agree. Mayweathers camp should have been more vocal. They let Arum screw them the first time around, and use the Mayweather name to promote a fight with Clottey, and now again with Margarito. The Mayweather side ahs to take some blame for the way things have gone down as well.... As much as I can't stand Arum from a moral standpoint, and because I'm a true boxing fan and want to see the potentially great fights. I do understand this is a business, and he's doing what's most important for his business. If Pac were to lose to Floyd, then his cashcow is gone. Afterwards I'm sure Floyd would target Cotto, and another cashcow would be gone. At that point What would top rank do with no bigtime money makers. Bottom line is this fight not happening has little to do with Floyd and Pac wanting or not wanting it. But everything to do with politics.

Soo...now their comeback is that Floyd should have spoken the truth. Wasn't there a gag order? Even if not, Floyd is pretty shrewd. If arum could play the 'good guy' and tell everyone Floyd is not to blame then is it not possible that Floyd recognizes that playing the 'good guy' every once in a while pays off? Is it not also possible that GBP advised him to not comment on arum and team?

STFU, clown. Keep hopping from foot to foot.

micheal marley is your so called top rank insider? LOL. he writes for the examiner. how many times has marley & the examiner website been discredited & trivialized by both pacman & floyd fans? its funny that bob arum lambasted marley in the conference call for being late & a couple of days later, marley writes a critical piece about arum. how cliche & predictable.

marley is the farthest thing from being a top rank insider. he doesnt even work for top rank. he's a examiner writer. basically a blog site.

LOL.

The funny thing is that the writer of the quoted article here has degraded and bashed Marley many times, calling him a "joke" & "biased". Here are some of the comments to the author of this article, CJ James.

"CJ: you believe marley now when weeks ago, you were bashing this examiner writer for being unreliable?"

"- to support that claim...in this article, the author fondly referred to michael marley as a source. however, articles ago, he was bashing marley as a writer whose articles only a fool will buy into. nobody takes marley seriously, he said."

"@ CJ James you are a farce your whole existence is a joke. in your previous articles you said Michael Marley cannot be trusted and he's a liar. Now you are telling me that he's telling the truth? baloney"

Until Greenburg clarifies the situation, it's not worth believing any party entirely. Too many liars and too much bull**** flying around, together with *****s and *******s twisting what they can of it to better their own argument.

It's embarrassing that someone can just blindly believe Arum's view, or some guy who has beef with Arum.

Bolded should be believed before any article posted by a poster with a make believe name on an internet website.

I agree with this to a certain degree. And then I recognize that every single message that came from Team Mayweather was "no negotiations", and PEOPLE JUST DIDN'T WANT TO BELIEVE.

May 10 - "no negotiations are planned"
Early June - "no negotiations are happening"
Mid June - "I'm going to take a couple of years off - focusing on my family and gym"


Team Mayweather - for what it's worth - has been publicly consistent.

Again, Marley is a Top Rank guy, and a noted Pacquiao backer. He reported that Arum's claims of "negotiations" and "agreements" were phony, days before any Mayweather person made any comment.


Yes we know he (Marley) is Pac crazy so its very telling. Esp on the drug testing. Looks like Pacs team is trying to pull a fast one - trying to give the impression they would be submitting to Olympic/ strident testing when its far from the case. Its all a smoke screen by Arum to negotiate 4 Margarito and its just makes fools of all of us.

Never before has the sporting world seen a fighter so adamant in creating BS excuses to avoid tougher testing. Is he that reliant on the juice? Get off that **** for one fight, man. it's worth $40m.
