    Ok. Serious Thread.......

    Bob has said that he dealt with Ross...who in turn dealt with someone from Floyd's camp...looks to be Al Haymon...

    Bob has spoken up regarding this....Ross has spoken up about this....Richard (who was not involved) gave his two cents....same with De La Hoya, Floyd Sr. and Jeff Mayweather. Seems that the only two people left to speak on the "negotiations" are Floyd himself AND the other supposed party involved...Al Haymon himself.

    Come on Al....get some credibility back to Team Mayweather by just acknowledging that you did in fact at least SPEAK with Ross. I know that Leonard is the "adviser" to Team Mayweather (Leonard = Koncz) but let Al speak for himself.

    We are all still waiting.....

    http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/box...ory?id=5412488 (more in depth interview from ESPN)

    "Arum had said over and over during the past two weeks, beginning on a 3 a.m. ET July 17 conference call to announce that the exclusive window to negotiate with Mayweather had closed, that he was negotiating the fight with Al Haymon, Mayweather's adviser, with Greenburg as the go-between.


    Arum said he would discuss deal points with Greenburg, who would then take them to Haymon and vice versa.

    Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's other adviser and the public voice because Haymon refuses to speak to the press, said a few days after Arum outlined how the talks went that there had never been any negotiations."

    (short passage from interview)

    Gag order is done....you may speak now!

            The fight is definately over...some people would still like some answers though. We've hear from everyone EXCEPT the "other party involved".....why haven't we heard from Al Haymon yet? He's a grown man right? He can speak when he's asked a question without having to look over at Floyd or Leonard right? Like I said....get some kind of credibility back, or what's left for Team Mayweather by at least speaking on the negotiations that either did or did not happen.

              I can see it now...Delonte will want to guard Lebron and the whole time he's telling him "Yo Mama" jokes....

                Delonte can jus sit there with a 'i ****ed your mom' shirt on the bench


                but seriously, unless GBP is ready to start doing independent ppvs from this point on, its not wise to play around with HBO


                in a way, i kinda like it...we wont have this GBP monopoly with the network and we might get to see some other non-GBP fighters get some spotlight

                  I'm still waiting on an official statement from Al Haymon......Bob has said his peice, Ross has said his piece....all that missing is Al's....Leonard has no place to talk since he obviously wasn't involved in the negotiations.

                    Haymon will NEVER release an official statement. The strong move quiet, the weak start riots (kind of a microcosm of this whole situation, eh?).

                    Anyway, actions speak louder than words. When negotiations first broke down, everyone expected Floyd to go fight Matthew Hatton or something. Instead, he fought Shane, two months after Pac took a tuneup with Clottey. Fast forward. Pac is fighting Margarito. Again...actions speak louder than words.
