Their both at fault bro. Maybe Bob more then Floyd but he's to blame aswell. Those fights coulda happened had he gone back with Bob but he wasn't with it.
Do u hear yourself? Floyd should do what Arum wants to get certain fights to happen? That's basically blackmail. He made the right choice in leaving. If arum wants to hold his fighters in lieu that's what it is.
Look at all of the great fights we missed out on. And its NOT Floyd's fault because I understand Arum is a ****. And I'm not saying that Floyd would lose any of these fights. But:
Mayweather vs. Cotto (undefeated)
Mayweather vs. Margarito Mayweather vs. Clottey
Mayweather vs. Pacquiao
Mayweather vs. Bradley

Why would he go back to Bob? Why should he have to?
Its been proven that Arum does everything in house. And if its not in house, he gets options on the other promoters fighter. GBP is becoming just as bad but the reason why those fights didn't happen was probably 90% at least Arum's fault.
Sir Bradley being a boss, instead of hoping and chasing for a Floyd fight Bradley played it cool like he doesn't want or need it. Floyd's gonna be so offended by this that Floyd will start calling Bradley out lol
Why would Floyd be offended? He wasn't bad mouthing Floyd. All he was saying was it would never happen as long as Bob is in the picture.
Why would he go back to Bob? Why should he have to?

GBP is almost completely in-house unless they have to outsource for a tune-up opponent such as Hopkins vs Murat or Quillin vs Rosado.
Just last year Arum made Chavez-Martinez happen. Golden Boy has not collaborated with an outside promoter for a comparable fight on that level.
GBP makes a lot of noise about wanting to match their guys up with the best fighters and Top Rank getting in the way... but look at the network they're affiliated with, Showtime. You can't name one showcase fighter on Showtime that isn't a GBP fighter.
i had to reverse it, cuz the proof is in the pudding
rios vs bradley is a much better fight anyways.
Easy fight for Bradley and besides, Rios don't want it. When aske about it he gave the whole 'it's my managers and promoters job to decide who I fight'

They're the same to me. GBP did
Canelo vs. Austin Trout
Khan vs. Peterson
Mayweather vs. Cotto
Austin Trout vs. Cotto
Neither Trout or Cotto were GBP fighters. But HBO has a much bigger budget than ShowTime. ShowTime barely has enough of a budget to handle just the fighters on GBP's roster. That's why the second half of the year has been empty and we're getting cards like this one coming up on Saturday.
If any fight finally happens between Floyd Mayweather and a Top Rank fighter while the fighter is in TR, it's gong to be Pacquiao. Otherwise, since 2006 when Floyd left TR, there's been absolutely no chance of Floyd fighting a TR fighter. People can say all they want with their immature little comments about Floyd being scared of whoever from 2006-2008, but the fact actually is that Haymon and Arum can't do business together.
