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

[BuckToothed]

Even I can see through this BS! May 7th - July 18th? I thought a fight of this size needed proper promotion? That sure is quick. The dude aint fighting so can u all stay off his nutz. He is cowardly right? So let the coward be.

For a 200m purse (assuming 50/50), Mosley will gladly step aside for a few mill...
Plus this negotiation took place before the Margarito fight, or just right after.

There was a big topic a while back about Floyd fighting in South Africa.

[tredh]

PBF(team included), Manny(team included) and Arum are all ****ing liars first and foremost. No need to argue over who lies the most WTF kind of **** is that!!

Thing of it is though in all the lies that they tell I believe there is some truth mixed in but none of that leads to the fight being made.

Its funny how these ***** can only defend their ******ed hero, who openly talks about how much he hates these very same fans, by comparing him to Pac.

Yea Arum made Pac, or whoever, fight one or two bad fights. How does this justify Floyd becoming the biggest coward and pu$$y in boxing? And only taking crap fights??

There is no one in the world of boxing journalism is calling Pac a coward, but the majority are saying Floyd is a ducker.

Even Dan Rafael of ESPN regularly calls Floyd a ducker.

Its incredible how deluded these *****s are, majority of them must be black, blind pride and loyalty. Even though this guy hates his own fans, and beats women. Typical.

100% agree

typical ***** bitchass post. you almost quoted the entire article yet you missed this one...

Arum said he was approached by a certain Michael Lodge, representing the Nelson Mandela family, about the possibility of promoting a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight in South Africa in November.

everything negative said, or to do with floyd is a lie. Thats basically the whole floyd fan agenda thing. thats why they irritate me. dude left boxing to beat up on women and security guards and fights once a year if lucky, how can anyone defend that.

But I know how to read... and surprisingly, comprehend.

Article said, November... Search NSB and you'll find an article about Floyd possibly fighting in South Africa (with an undisclosed opponent).
Every other Mayweathers acknowledged (or at least not denied) the 100m demand.

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.

Except Floyd doesn't fight under his promotional company. His last several fights have been through Golden Boy. And that's why Don King has been talking with Floyd lately, so Floyd can fight under Don King Promotions.

Good business sense, Floyd.

So, how's Philthy Rich Records doing? And how are those outstanding IRS debts going? Let's not forget demanding $100 million for a fight. Great business sense indeed.
