Comments Thread For: Schaefer Stands His Ground on Mayweather-Pacquiao

[The Big Dunn]

fact already out there, Floyd dont want to fight right now and not thinking boxing... everyone knows Arum can't control Floyd, IF floyd want to fight right now, Arum have no choice at all... stop being a hugger dude.

Uhh thanks for your contribution. Allfighter4u and I are not currently using nuthugger or ***** or ******* as part of our debate.

My guess is floyd is only going to fight on his terms. As of now, no one from Manny's camp has acknowledged if in fact this was one of the "Manny agreed with floyd's terms" stipulations he has accepted. If manny did in fact accept 0 day cutoff and floyd didn't make deal you would be correct that floyd doesn't want fight.

Since we don't know this it seems impossible to reach a definitive conclusion. If the contract had 14 days cutoff, I would think its manny not wanting the fight. Again, I'll wait until I know what was in the contract to determine my opinion.

Funny

Ross Greenburg confirmed that there was a negotiation that took place for the Nov. 13 fight. This is a big blow to the Mayweathers and his advisers. Now the boxing world can really say that Floyd is trying everything to avoid a confrontation with Manny Pacquiao. Floyd's advisers made a fool of themselves by saying that Bob Arum was lying...with Ross Greenburg statement it proved to the world who are the real LIARS are. Just like the good old saying goes, "He who laughs last, laughs best".

how hard from floyd say that pac team did not agree on his terms? we all know floyd, he will say whatever he wants... but what did he say? Boxing is not on his mind right now...

How did team floyd get played? While floyd was called out by mainstream media, this fight is getting killed everywhere. No entity, fans, experts, casual fans, mainstream media, want this fight. Manny better hope Bob and Marg's filth doesn't contaminate him.

Again, without knowing everything, this is why I'm glad floyd hasn't said a word. Winning the media battle doesn't matter at all. Getting the fight on his terms seems to matter the most to him. Doesn't look like he's fighting until that happens.

Well, the fact that ESPN commentators are calling Floyd jr all sorts of names and that so many people think floyd jr is running from Pac is in my opinion one way to say that Bob played them. But we'll see. As they say, it ain't over till the fat lady sings.

If getting his terms is all that matters for floyd jr., then good for him. He most likely will get what he wants if he's persistent enough.

As for nobody wanting the Pac/Marg fight, I'll see how the ppv turns out to make a conclusion.

When Antonio Margarito says in Feb 2010 that Bob promised him a Nov 2010 fight with Pac, and Bob doesn't refute this claim, it seems they had a plan in place already. In May 2010 floyd said 0 day cutoff and we have a fight. As of now, no one from Manny's camp has acknowledged if in fact this was one of the "Manny agreed with floyd's terms" stipulations he has accepted. If manny did in fact accept 0 day cutoff and floyd didn't make deal you would be correct that floyd doesn't want fight. That isn't the case.

You are entitled to your opinion. But the facts don't support your conclusion.

When someone says their was "no negotiations" when their clearly was then what does that action imply? Why would they lie? Because they dont want the public to know that they ducked a fighter. This has nothing to do with the contract details because to them it is no longer a justifiable reason to stop the fight from happenning hence a new alibi is made.

[-Kev-]

At this point i'm confused as hell and I really don't want to be part of this soap opera anymore as a boxing fan. I'm just gonna let it ride out.

[joey4pacman]

.... Schaefer should talk to Oscar because truth of the matter is they are CONFUSE with one another ....

[Brotha B]

All of this is rediculous! Bottom line is the fight didn't get made. I do find it funny that the May camp didn't say a word until after the "deadline" passed. How is it that all major media outlets report of the "deadline" and nothing from camp May? Hmm

[gwildcat77]

Regardless of negotiations, if Floyd really wanted to fight, a fight would be here.

FLOYD's a ***** while PAC is WACKIN' CATS OUT!!

nothing has been proving

Ross Greenburg confirmed that there was a negotiation that took place for the Nov. 13 fight. This is a big blow to the Mayweathers and his advisers. Now the boxing world can really say that Floyd is trying everything to avoid a confrontation with Manny Pacquiao. Floyd's advisers made a fool of themselves by saying that Bob Arum was lying...with Ross Greenburg statement it proved to the world who are the real LIARS are. Just like the good old saying goes, "He who laughs last, laughs best".

Stop with this madness. 1st off who did greenburg represent. Because according to schaeffer there were no representatives for mayweather. Now if schaeffer is still sticking to his story even after greenburg confirmed the opposite then there's something odd about what arum and greenburg were actually discussing. I'm just wondering why haven't we heard what exactly is it that team mayweather left on the table. Until I read what was agreed upon and what they were waiting for mayweather to sign I don't believe anybody. This just seems odd that team pacquiao turns down a fight in january only to begin right where they left off on may. 2nd. A day after floyds win and they have been negotiating in the media ever since. Read between the lines, they never wanted a fight with mayweather. All this is a ploy for die hard fans to overlook the fact that manny is cheating history again byhaving another fighter come down in weight for a world title.
