Arum: “.it said Mayweather came back to the Mandelas with a price of $100 Million.."

[ThePrince]

Ok, lets just back up a little, Oscar earned $52m for his fight with Floyd, with generated revenue of $120m.
And you expect Floyd to double Oscars earning as well as the fight at least doubling the revenue.

Put down your crackpipe.

Tell me about it

Instead of this overtime they're putting in to try to justify what can't be and talking sideways and coming up with outlandish and nonsensical theories, wouldn't it just be easier if the *****s just admitted what is painfully obvious?

A group of investors with cash to burn, backed by a former President/present World icon made a serious pitch to make the fight happen this year. Floyd was fresh out of excuses, so he went back to the basics- priced himself out of the fight in spectacular fashion. Just his way of, AGAIN, saying 'thanks but no thanks'.

That's it. Doesn't get any simpler than that.

I don't think calling a foreign diplomat a liar, or implicating Nelson Mandela's daughter, is a smart move for Arum.

Like calling the President of HBO Sports a liar is not of the best interest for Arum as well.

Simple right? Yet fanatical imaginations and conspiracies continue to astound. All for the love of Floyd. He is making these *****s insane. Or may be they were just ****** to begin with. just give up madda packas.. The longer you try to defend floyd the more absurd you guys start to sound. Dang, it is so obvious and simple... Give it up, Floyd let you guys down period.

[LMFAO]

Bob is trying to delay the inevitable "countdown clock" to his cash coward getting his ass kicked by Mayweather.

He grossed $40m for fighting Shane and it did nowhere near Oscar vs Floyd. Let me guess....ur gonna call those numbers false because Floyd said it. U guys are haters. I guess Kings contract for 2 fights for $100m was BS too? There's only one Pac. Had he took that contract he wouldve made $50m against a bum....but for some reason u seem to think those type of numbers don't exists. I bet Arum sees $100m on this fight easily. Get with the program. This is the only fight to be made in boxing. The crop of fighters are so bad now that they are the only two in the P4P top 5 that fight on PPV. This fight will do numbers, and u still can't tell me what Arum will pocket. I bet u its over $100m..easily. Stop hating.

if u really think floyd would kick pacs arse why not tell floyd to cut the bullshiet and fight pac already

Floyd and his fans want it both ways. Manny fights weights drain past their prime boxers coming off a loss a hype job by the media. Yet at the sametime must take OSDT cause he's doing something unbelievable lol.

How much money are Arum and Top Rank standing to make off of this potential fight? There are numerous examples throughout history of how the men that get between the ropes end up without a dime, while Arum, King, etc somehow have 40-50 years in a business that chews up and spit out everybody else. I think the fans are still thrown off by the enormity of the figure "$100 million" but they aren't putting it into proper context. If it's in South Africa that means the fight is being put on in a soccer stadium more than likely, it'll cost $70-75 to watch it, plus the sponsorship money given to Top Rank for ring product placement, and it'll rival the Oscar and Mayweather numbers on PPV. Top Rank is scheduled to make well over $100 million for this fight. This is an event. Treat it like you would the Super Bowl, The Final Four, etc. There's enormous money to be made, but most of us are used to the "owners" reaping the benefits. Well in this instance, Arum and Floyd are peers because Mayweather fights under his own promotional umbrella. So it's not about comparing what Pac and Floyd are gonna make, its about comparing what Arum and Floyd are gonna make.

Finally someone has the chance and ability to reap ALL the benefits from his abilities as opposed to being retrained to a percentage via contract, and people clown on that because its the vougue thing to do. Shameful we live in a world were rookie players used to come into the NFL and without taking a single snap sign $40 million dollar signing bonuses for simply writing their name on a piece of paper, but we crap on a guy with his own promotional company trying to gain equal revenue as the opposing promotional company AND step into the ring and generate the money. Good business sense, Floyd.

Excellent! Excellent Post!

Are you ******? He got $40 mil against Shane because he got the lions share of the purse, against pacquiao it would be 50/50. No way his he going to get a guaranteed $100 million.

*****s are utterly ****ing repugnant.

here you got bob arum telling you details about the negotiations about floyd asking 100 million, then you got floyd's trainer & UNCLE basically confirming it via youtube video, then you got floyd's dad basically saying floyd is being unrealistic,

yet *****s still want to hold out hope that this is all just some elaborate scheme planned by arum, roger mayweather, floyd sr. to make floyd look bad.

you *****s are ****ing disgusting & ****ing ******.

READ BETWEEN THE LINES, PUT TWO & TWO TOGETHER.


There's a reason why nobody from team floyd has denied this.
