Comments Thread For: Arum Rips Mayweather's Claims Over Negotiations

[MindBat]

Promoter Bob Arum of Top Rank has ripped into the recent claims that were made by Floyd Mayweather Jr. During an interview with fighthype.com, Mayweather claimed that "nobody" had reached out with respect to a fight with Manny Pacquiao. Last year, Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank were publically dis*****g whether or not any actual negotiations were taking place for a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight. Arum had claimed that Ross Greenburg, president of HBO Sports, was the middleman between Top Rank and Mayweather's manager Al Haymon. Richard Schaefer, CEO for Golden Boy, told BoxingScene.com in several interviews that "no negotiations" had ever taken place.

Translation: "Why should I risk my golden goose to the best fighter in the world when I don't have to?"

I realized recently that most of these Asian non boxing fan Pac Stans use to be in love with Enrique lgesias until Pacquiao came along. Their Martyrs who take on the criticism for their "Hero", not for the love of the sport but for the love of their man. You see, It's all about preserving the illusion you know...the fantasy.

There is a lot of funny here. They love this type of stuff


HAHAHAHAH

So you mean when he signed to fight Margarito. Ok.

That article is a fake. And even if true, was said when he was fighting Margarito. How come he was singing a different tune only weeks before?

Read again. It was AFTER Margarito and BEFORE the Mosley fight was finalized. Where was Floyd then, huh? On a crime-spree.

Now that Pac has signed on to fight Mosley, Floyd peeks out from hiding, just like always.

The article is a FAKE? Have you even read the article? You must be the ******est ***** of all, and there are plenty of them out there.

Yeah, I read it. It's hilarious. Notice how it's not quoted by boxingscene or any other respectable site. And second, you are telling on yourself. So he said it after Margarito? Why was he singing a different tune the other two times? Hmm?

[empiricix]

Comical, right? It just goes to show that Pac has already realized how far Floyd will go just to duck him.

[al-Xander]

What roadblockS? Floyd asked the dude to take a more stringent drug test and we've seen a side of Manny that we've never seen. And, I don't know who FLOYD wants if not Manny, heck I'm not Floyd.

Strange that you say you're not Floyd yet you guys have been
putting words into Floyd's mouth even though he hasn't said
anything in between his tirades and his recent appearances.

Don't you have any personal opinions other than repeat what
Floyd says or hasn't said? Okay, you guys don't believe Pac
saying he is finally bowing down to Floyd's requests. What
exactly do you want for Team Pac to do to make this fight
happen, assuming you want it badly enough like the rest of the
world does?

Again, who is there for Floyd, if not Pac?

[AFighter4U]

Yeah, keep dreaming.

hey, there's nothing wrong in hoping for something positive.

at least i'm not like you who keep on ignoring the fact that your boy floyd flip-flopped and went 0-14-0.

and you flip-flopped along with him.

Actually, I never flip flopped along with him. Do I think 14 days is more fair than 24? Sure. And that was the circumstance then. But I've never supported it and even wrote that in that thread. Stop, it's embarrassing. You wanna see a flip flop? Just watch what Manny and his band of buffoons say next. Of course, you'd rather concentrate on me, not them, right? Just know that your statement is an admission that Manny Pacquiao is the reason the fight never occurred.

"And I assume Haymon advised Floyd that we were negotiating the fight through Greenburg. But (saying) we didn't reach out to Haymon was total nonsense,"

Did anyone catch this ? hahahahahahahahahahahah

[JD Salinger]

Why did the first negotiation end? And what changed in the so-called second?

first nego, drug testing issue. i don't really know for sure what happened in the second nego. all we have are speculations. but now that you asked about the "so-called second nego", why do you think floyd's camp denied that it took place? greenburg confirmed it did happen. as a neutral fan, i see no reason for greenburg to lie about this, at all. what could he possibly gain from lying?
