    It was the South African people who said that Mayweather wanted $100 million during their preliminary discussions. Arum just reported what they'd told him

I guess floyd fans do have that thick of a skin because they love floyd that much. It is like me telling you I went hiking... You don't have to take my word for it but if my shoes are full of soil and my socks are filled with foxtails and a person said he saw me hiking... You still don't have to believe it but you'd be a fool not to if everyone else is telling you otherwise..
      Im not a Floyd fan, but Arum says **** over and over, and only to come out 6 months later and say he bended the truth. Maybe Floyd was offered 65 million, but I doubt Floyd was ever contacted about it. Arum is a lying scumbag. Thats a fact. I dont understand anyone who can really take his word. Generally only when it favors your someones opinion do they believe him.

      BTW im not a Floyd fan. Im subjective unlike90% of this site. All you have to do is look at my post history. I give shit to both sides, and call it like I see it no matter who it is.

        Well, the Mandela episode was confirmed by no less than Mayweather's uncle Jeff, then later mentioned by another uncle, Roger. I don't think this is something out of the ordinary for Floyd. A year ago he was showing a piece of paper showing the $100 million offer he got from Don King.

          This is exactly what I mean... It is just not one article but several other coincidences that seem to lead me to a bigger picture. If it was just Arum talking, or whomever then I might have more doubts; but consistently there have been, whether by coincidence or chance, corroborating instances.

          In this case Jeff and Roger are the dirty sox and shoes to Arum and Madela's claim that they went hiking..

            You would think after 3 years... Bob Arum would get the clue of what Floyd wants to make the fight.

              According to Ross Greenburg, there was no perceivable reason for why Floyd turned down the fight last summer. Michael Lodge and co. said that the deal broke down over $ (made a $50 mil per man guarantee offer, never mentioned any issues over OST), and $65 mil from Singapore couldn't do the trick either.

              Never going to happen, never was. It's been time to move on for a while now. **** is played out.

                Greenburg is like the coyote poop Pac and Arum stepped on when they told everyone they went hiking... Don't know why people argue against the fact they went hiking.

                  Arum please......retire

                  if the fight happens floyd will get the 65m and pacman only like 20m
                  coz manny need to pay to Arum, then oscar, arixa roach....

                  this fight is really big, so 65m is little money in comparation to the benefits ( Tourism--The whole world will watch Singapore, or africa or dubai) big money big money floyd knows

                    Never about test just money.

                    I want to hear Bob say that Manny agreed to random test
                    all the way up until the fight.
