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

[empiricix]

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?

Singing a different tune? Floyd keeps on upping his demands, so they keep on trying to compromise just to reach an agreement. According to Greenburg himself, there was already agreement reached during the second round of negotiations. Only Floyd says that it didn't happen. Okay, fine, whatever.

Now, the EXISTING offer from Arum is just for Floyd to say that he is willing to fight, and they will accept unlimited testing. But what is Floyd saying now? He is finished with boxing, at least until 2013?

C'mon, man! Why can't you at least acknowledge that?

"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

What's interesting is how he says "saying we didn't reach out to Haymon is total nonsense." Especially compared with his "why would we reach out to Haymon?" comment. These guys are clowns.

Singing a different tune. As in, prior to the Margarito bout. Why?

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?

What we do know about this so-called second negotiation was that Manny still refused to take full testing. So what's to discuss?

I believe Marquez would have been bigger than this Mosley fight.
Far, far bigger. Looking back Arum would have agreed to Marquez's
$5 million guarantee. But I can't blame him. He wanted no part of
GBP. I believe Marquez would have another chance for this fight
if he breaks away from GBP.

Yeah bro I would like to see Marquez vs Pacquiao III.

This won't happen but I would love for Manny to face Marquez in Sept, then Bradley in December.

It's possible because I doubt Manny takes much damage in any of these fights but seeing how he has congressional obligations, I doubt we will ever see Manny that active (3 fights in one year).

That's the main reason why I don't delve into these kind of threads anymore.

Better to get along with people here rather than join dead-beat topics like these and argue at nothing at all.

Yep. I've mellowed, man, compared to what I've been in my
previous posts. It's useless. There comes a point where you
had to admit that nobody is interested in any solution at all
other than win arguments.

This is clearly a case of neither fighters wanting the fight.

Mayweather with all his excuses of taking a vacation, no negotiations taking place, and other bull**** clearly doesn't want the fight.

And Pacquiao with this whole I'll take the drug test, but I need a 30 day, no 24 day, make that 14 day, ok ok 7 day cut off, is just ridiculous. He also doesn't want the fight.

Fans should get wise to the fact that these guys clearly don't want each other. If they did the fight would have been made a year ago.

[Walt Liquor]

wow, 2 of the three biggest outright liars in boxing are dis*****g negotiating claims.

[MindBat]

Quite interesting when the low life haterz call floyd boring.

Every pacquiao fan on here calls floyd boring but those are the same people who will create 50 threads a day about floyd (closet fans)

People should stop actin like bit**** ..if you don't like a boxer move on and enjoy the success of you favorite boxer.

They can't wait 'til Floyd comes back. When Floyd was away for 18 months they made threads begging for his return. They couldn't take him being gone for so long. They miss him already.

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.

Where have I done this?

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?

Yes, I have personal opinions. I want for Manny and his team to shoot straight and agree to the testing, the same thing I wanted at the end of 2009.

If not Manny, there is a young champion named Andre Berto in the division.
