Comments Thread For: Arum: Pacquiao Would Have Waited For Mayweather Jr.

[JD Salinger]

Arum had told the world that they tried before the Margarito fight as well but Floyd told all of you that he didn't want to fight Manny and preferred a long vacation.

Which part of what Floyd said do you Floyd fans don't understand?

FLOYD IS ON VACATION ...

he hasn't fought since those words came out of his mouth. Use your common sense.

^^^ this... it's just plain and simple common sense. if the problem with the pacman fight was the drug test issue, floyd could just have said, no deal, pacquiao, find me another opponent instead. but what did he do? HE WENT ON VACATION...

[lfc19titles]

all mayweather has to do is call out pac, go to the media and say

"I am finally ready to fight pac"

his promoters would do the rest

yet all he is doing is beating up women running from pacman all the way to vacation

[GRUSTLER]

These are the last known words:
Pac, November 2010 - "I want it, and feel the fans deserve the Mayweather fight. Lets get it on."
Mayweather, July 2010: "I'm not thinking about boxing".

And these are Arum's words......

"It's not so much that I give a damn whether this fight
happens -- I don't -- and for me it's not
the greatest experience doing a promotion with Floyd Mayweather,
" Arum said. "But not to do this fight would slow down the
momentum of boxing."

Whoever believes that Arum wants to break bread with Golden Boy
or Floyd Mayweather Jr, they are complete idiots. Mosley had to
leave Golden Boy to get a fight with Pac. Get a clue.

Floyd came out of retirement calling Manny Pacquiao out
and even fought Marquez to set it up. Floyd fought Mosley
when he was a champion of the WW division (TOP OF 147
AT THAT) while Roach and Pac didn't want Mosley but now
their fighting Shane after Floyd shut him down? Arum was
playing games. A Top Rank clock? Ha ha ha ha! If you
guys believe that, then I have some magic beans to sell
you.

That's not how it went. Team Mayweather were in contact with Matthew Hatton after the Marquez fight. Nobody knows why the change of heart with Floyd. Maybe the Cotto fight scared the hell out of Floyd.

As Hagler puts it, if you want to fight you just fight. You even go the fighter's house and fight him in his living room. You don't set up roadblocks that derails the fight from happening. Wake up, man!

lol at *****s here, manny has called out floyd so many times while floyd has said he is on vacation, its clear floyd does not want this fight as he is ducking him

Sure Manny wanted the fight...........

Pacquiao and Mayweather had agreed to unlimited random urine testing, but Mayweather also insisted on random blood testing, even though the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which would oversee the bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, requires only urine testing.

Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) didn't want blood testing but later relented and agreed to three blood tests: one during the week of the kickoff news conference, which would have taken place next week, one random test to be conducted no later than 30 days before the fight and a final test in his dressing room after the fight. Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) would be subject to the same testing procedures.

When they could not come to an agreement, Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Mayweather, turned to a mediator, retired judge Daniel Weinstein, who had successfully mediated a series of disputes between Top Rank and Golden Boy in 2007.

But after nine hours in mediation on Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif.,
and further attempts to come to a resolution on Wednesday failed,
the fight was pronounced dead by the Pacquiao camp.

If I'm not mistaken wasn't Bob one of the people saying Floyd should get his legal matters worked out, with him and his trainer(Roger)? And this guy was offering some of his lawyers to Floyd. He wants me to believe that this all would be absolved by May the 7th?

Bob Arum will not work with any other promoters AT ALL.
I think your the one that needs to wake up. They scream
Mayweathers name all day, everyday BUT right after Pac's
fight with Margarito, Bob lines Mosley up. That deal was
just about a done before he stepped in the ring with
Margarito.

It's really scary how much Bob Arum got guys like you
caught in the web of deception. Floyd should be fighting.
That I don't disagree with you on but them second negotiations
were suspect.
