Comments Thread For: Top Rank Prez: Mayweather Has My Number, He Can Call

[voneric]

Quit the BullChit, Call Mayweather and get this nonsense over with. I always thought Floyd was the one Stopping the fight but now i think that neither side cares if the fight is ever made but they both need to save face for public appearance. Both Sides will blame eachother as to why they will not fight but they are both Pansies in my eyes.

[ThePrince]

from what was highlighted it sounds more like he can guarantee his half (Manny) and if Mayweather wants the same well then part of his revenue goes to Top Rank (just like it would to whoever)

what's exactly wrong with that?

Nothing's wrong with that, especially since Arum offered to take care of all the promotional/logistical duties for a possible fight including coming up with the guarantees from outside investors for both fighters. Floyd didn't seem interested and GBP was most definitely not interested for obvious reasons. If Floyd 'I'm my own boss' Mayweather insists on having GBP promote all his fights for whatever reason, then it's on them to come up with his guarantee.

This is basic logic.

Anyone know where Floyd is?? He's been pretty quiet these pass few days. When the news got out that arum is heading to the philipines and then more news got out that PAC will demand arum for a Floyd showdown, a day later Floyd tweeted insisting manny to step up. Why haven't we hear anything from him now??

Sir, Todd was negotiation and discussing with GBP during the negotiations. Was Arum being aware of what was going on? Sure, but Todd was negotiating. Arum didn't jump back on board until the mediator was brought in. But, during a good time, it was Todd who was negotiating. Of course Arum was being aware and giving his opinion. But, to act as if Arum doesn't trust Todd -the heir apparent to the company mind you- of a fight of this magnitude is quite ridiculous.

Just using your logic..So Todd was more of a buffer or go between? Never said or even insinuated he doesnt trust Todd but you have to wonder if Todd was really handling the negotiations why wasn't he allowed to handle mediations; since he was the one who was doing the negotiations on a daily basis. Hummmmm

Floyd booked the venue to avoid the BS. This is all about TP not wanting the fight because they know Floyd is not gonna let them control or manipulate him.

then you really do not know Top Rank at all

and what BS? I thought everything was essentially done?

to me it seems simple

if Mayweather wants Top Rank to guarantee his half then don't you think it fair they participate in the revenue that he stands to make out of it as well? Essentially it sounds like Mayweather wants TR to make him money and not ask for anything from him.

you know any promoter willing to do that?

[STFU!!]

First, I want to know who got me banned on some snitching bull**** for posting a Wu Tang video

Second...

During a recent convesation I had with Mayweather, he had nothing but kind words for Todd duBoef and the whole duBoef family. To my surprise, he told me that he speaks to Todd on the regular, not about boxing, but about their families and life in general. Mayweather made it clear to me that if he were speaking directly to anyone about any real negotiations, it would be Todd duBoef, not some other 3rd party like Michael Koncz or a group of investors. In fact, Mayweather informed me that he recently spoke to Todd duBoef while he was in New York to promote last Saturday's rematch between Miguel Cotto and Antonio Margarito. When Mayweather himself briefly brought up the topic of the mega-fight, it was duBoef who changed the subject to their children, further verifying his opinion that Bob Arum isn't really interested in making the fight with Pacquiao. According to Mayweather, if it was Todd duBoef calling the shots, the fight with Pacquiao would have already happened a long time ago.

So get off twitter and call the man, Floyd.

Oh, also

was wondering where you went.
Also this article clip is irrelevant. Arum a month ago called roger,jeff and floyd good people and he would like to work with them. Doesn't have **** to do with ****.

Second they already made an attempt to contact Arum, he said no. Now he wants to be contacted again because he's losing the PR war. Game over

yeah I am really not getting this facet

IF Mayweather wants the fight, wants GBP and Haymon to assist in this fight, then shouldn't THEY be the ones to guarantee his portion?

TR is saying they have Manny covered so...

Did Mayweather have any problems with this during the first negotiations? I don't recall that he did. I don't recall this being a deal breaker. And until I hear him or his team claming this is an obstacle I'm not buying it.


So far all of these statements are coming from Top Rank.

such an obtuse statement.

Short version of this is.

Floyd is always telling the truth and TR is always lying.
