With this whole JMM thing, it's clear ARUM is to blame for NO Mayweather vs Pac......

    ITS ARUM.

    enough is enough!
    There arent even 4 in-house fights available for Pac! LOL.

    Say Pac/Floyd gets made. Pac is set to make around $75mil after his guaranteed purse and ppv upside. Arum's cut from that is much more appealing than any in house fights he can possibly make.

      2. arum is not the one who turned down floyd's demands.

      3. arum is not the one who went on vacation last year and got court dates this year.
      Let's see... Clottey, Margarito, Cotto, and now Shane....

      No JMM, no Floyd....

      The dude wants to everything in house...

      And I know he is a promoter, but 27% off top? That sounds like a lot.....

        It's ****ing ridiculous that JMM can't fight Pac just because he is with Golden Boy....

        Arum is already screwing Pac and TAKING 27% of Pac's purse when he fights... So because another fighter doesn't want to be screwed over, he gets penalized, and ***ed out of fights....

        I'm convinced, until Arum is gone, there is no Mayweather vs Pac, and that is ****ing sad....
        The only one to blame is floyd. All he has to do is come out and say he wants the fight now and he'll get the fight with in minutes. Arum isn't god, the pressure would be too great if he tried to step in the way. Arum didn't come up with these ped boogie man stories. Arum didn't go on "vacation". Arum didn't lie about negotiations. Arum didn't throw out ******ed numbers like 100 mil. Arum didn't put out racist rants on the internet. Arum may be alot of things, but he's not responsible for floyds mental breakdown. Floyds got no one to blame but floyd, and neither do boxing fans.

            What about Cotto?

            Clottey, Manny, Foreman, and now Margs? Okay, that is not evidence he wants everything in house....

            And paying Mayorga only 50K for the Cotto fight? Seems like greed to me.....

              Dude.............

              Just because he is "***ish" does not mean anything you are just using tired stereotypes I mean isn't Don King a greedy bastard as well? How about Oscar? It's business pure business and it just so happens that Arum is a *** a coincidence? sure but he could be irish or english or even catholic and he would still do all the deeds that he has done.

              I am in the minority that feels that Top Rank/Golden Boy etc are just playing the roles of actors that are captivating everyone into buying this idea that "Manny Pacquiao won't fight Mayweather" or "Mayweather won't Pacquiao" to generate as much hype as humanly possible and make us all fork over alot of chedder to see this Mega Fight (which may prove to be as dissapointing as the Mayweather/De La Hoya fiasco) My guess is that Arum may choose the winners of Cotto/Margarito (yeah I know bleh) or perhaps *sudders* Vic Ortiz(maybe not).

              Either way this is all speculation maybe by the end he goes for Marquez unless of course he along with golden boy want to milk this "rivarly" further along with the Mayweather/Pacquiao feud.

                1. of course he wants in house fights. he makes more money. do you know why manny goes for them? because arum pays him more too. it goes both ways.

                2. what about when pacquiao fought marquez , barrera , hatton and delahoya within a 1+ year span? all gbp fighters.

                because they brought money to the table with their name.

                3. i called you ****** because your "percentage OFF THE TOP" comment.

                just plain idiotic. where is he suppose to take his cut? after taxes? after pacquiao's managers , trainers get their cut?

                LMFAO

                i don't know much about the business side of boxing but it's clear you know a lot less than me.

                  Mayorga had a debt to pay Don King...

                    Mayweather-Pacquiao not happening doesn't have anything to do with Arum. Why would Arum not want a percentage of the potential $100 million revenue?

                    Floyd is the one who doesn't want to fight Pacquiao & is simply ducking him, which is why he is asking for this ****** drug test thing. In the past he has ducked Cotto & Margarito. Now he is ducking Pacquiao and Martinez. Isn't that hard to see?

                    So it's Floyd's fault, not Arum's.

                      So what about when Arum said if Floyd was with Don King the fight would be have been made already?
