Mayweather/Pacquiao negotiations - Key events

[Stanly Ketchel]

This is all common sense and you have to think for yourself and come to your own conclusions. Rational and logical thinking people turned into *****s. The media and lames turned into *******s. Frustration for the logical thinkers as we all know what's up. *******s continue to deny the truth because they hate Floyd and love Manny. I could give a **** less about either one they don't pay me and I just want to see the fight. Because I weighed the facts, made a logical decision, I guess I am a *****, as evidenced by the red gay, I mean red k. *******s continue to beat the drums that FMJ is scared, chicken, etc. But if you really wanted to duck the fight, why wouldnt FMJ stick to his 60-40, and then if they agreed decline the weight and glove size, then use the randon OST as your last resort? Take the test and let's get it on....

B.S.

There is nothing Philboxing can show that would favor Pacquiao.
The fight fell through because of random Blood testing.

The Fighthype timeline has interviews from Pacquiao, Bob, Roach, and Konz.
Now who else in team Pacquiao do we need to hear from?

Philboxing or whoever/whatever site can show how Senior DID NOT want this fight for his son. From the very beginning he was against it. It was senior who started the drug accusations.....his son believed him and added the OST in the fight. Even up to now....Senior does not want this fight. Where is that in the Fighthype compilations??

"Al Haymon hasn't spoken to Bob Arum...If they want to make a deal, they know to go to Al Haymon for the deal."

Floyd Mayweather Jr.

Please provide us an example or evidence, where Bob Arum has stated he has had discussions with Al Haymon since January 2010...Floyd's business manager and adviser.

There you go champ, this one's on the house

Bob Arum disputes Mayweather's claim


Undefeated welterweight Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been mostly quiet and out of the boxing picture since his arrest on domestic battery charges in September. Mayweather appeared in court last month to face the felony charges, but his hearing was moved to March.

But the controversial boxer, who is on boxing fans' most wanted list for a megafight against Manny Pacquiao that could be the richest in boxing history, did a rare interview late last month with Fighthype.com.
In that wide-ranging interview, Mayweather said, "After the first negotiations didn't come through, nobody reached out to Al (Haymon, Mayweather's manager)" regarding a fight with Pacquiao, and "we didn't hear anything from Bob Arum."

Arum on Wednesday called that absurd. "We not only reached out, we had a full negotiation with (HBO Sports President) Ross Greenburg being the intermediary with Al Haymon back before the Margarito fight. And that came to nothing. 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.

"As far as Floyd is concerned, we've attempted to reach him without any success. He knows where we are. And none of his people have ever called us. The idea that we haven't reached out is absurd. … We've gotten no calls from him. …

"Why the hell should we reach out to Al Haymon when they have constantly said that they're not interested in fighting? Let them call us. … I'm not going to reach out to them like I'm chasing them. But if they said to a responsible newspaper or somebody responsible, 'We want to fight Manny Pacquiao,' I would make the call."

HBO had no comment on the subject, and Mayweather's adviser, Leonard Ellerbe, could not be reached by phone.

END OF STORY!

Chups, I get what you're saying. At the same time though they provided sources. If Philboxing did something like this with sources, I'd be a little disappointed yes, but I wouldn't go on BS saying it's complete and utter BS because it's Philboxing, I'd look foolish because they provided sources outside of their website. You honestly think guys at ESPN are gonna release this? The same media outlet who called Floyd a coward and there boxing writer who is one of the biggest nuthuggers I've ever seen besides Ellie Sechback in Fat Dan. They provided sources meng, they're not saying "OH BLAH BLAH MANNY DUCKED BLAHBLAH ACCORDING TO KARCENO'S SITE" etcetc. They're using multiple "legit" sources. Don't take it so blunt bro, but I think you mad.

if you arent gonna agree to RANDOM Testing....there is no point of Al Haymon negotiating......there is only 1 thing stopping this fight...and thats taking RANDOM blood test...

If i tell you im selling a car for 10k and i will not accept anything less, and you keep contacting me to have me sell it for 7 and I keep telling you over and over I will NOT GO BELOW 10k....im just gonna ignore your attempts to communicate until you offer me what the price is...10k

so if Mayweathers stance is RANDOM testing...why should Haymon talk to anyone unless they notify him they want to accept the RANDOM OSDT.....

talk is cheap man

[lfc19titles]

wow just read it

so so so many stuff like mayweather snr saying he doesnt want his son in the ring with pac and so on cut out to suit floyd

such a biased article, loads of statements about pac abusing drugs not in there and warnings from mayweather snr for floyd to avoid pac

[Mr. Philadel]

I was wondering what happened to that thread from earlier...didnt see it on my control page..hmmmm...anyways, give 'em hell my dudes....they're playing dirty with the delete game...it is what it is

Its not about the mods getting paid, by Top Rank, the mods are *******s, as simple as that.

Its not there cause the timeline is things during negotiations. Not off the cuff interviews and opinions.

smh...
