Violations of "Ali Act" Floyd Mayweather

[-Huey-]

He would be in violation of the *****Care act.

What in the hell does government assigned health care have to do with this?

I guess arum is guilty of the same thing. Marquez, mosley, and Bradley were all promised a shot at pac, but only if they signed with top rank. Mayweather has only proposed the idea, no parties have acted on it, therefore the had been no crime committed on his part. However if you would like to light a fire under someone to come down on anyone who is in violation of the Ali act please pass on all information you find on arum.

To be fair wasn't Mosley a free agent and same with Marquez?
You could say the same with Cotto then becoming free agent and getting a Mayweather fight. Difference is Pac is signed with TR, so the only way I see it Pac needs to be a free agent whereas Mayweather is his own boss and has the that option to fight whoever he wants.

Sadly TR & Mayweather promotions don't deal with each other which is the same as GBP.

Not really just wondering if you can see the correlation to the "Ali Act". Do you have any real insight to the avoidance of the fight or did you even read the article? Guess you're head over heels for Floyd end of story....:wank:

Not jealous of Floyd....but why does he have no endorsements, and takes so much energy avoiding Pacquiao? Really does he make anyone of his other opponents go through such rigorous acts to fight him?

Floyd is the best technical fighter I've ever seen in my short span of watching boxing. No doubt he's the number one fighter everyone wants to see in a competitive fight. Both fighters are top PPV....win lose or draw I want to see it before it fades.

BTW Flint, you say "IMHO castillo beat floyd"....so seems you are jealous of Floyd.

I agree that this fight needs to be made. I don't think either are ducking the other. I think its more personal between Floyd and Arum. Floyd will never fight Manny as long as he is signed with Top Rank. Arum already owes him money from the Gatti and Judah fights. He will never allow Arum to make any money off of his fights or name again.

As far as Floyd's management, they have done an excellent job. You don't become the highest paid athlete in the world with poor management. Floyd has made more money than Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, and Tiger Woods without endorsements.

I just never heard of the Ali Act until I read the article and saw how if the case could be made against Don King, there seems to be a similarity to what TMT proposes in order for Floyd to fight Pacquiao. No parties have acted I agree. But Floyd did propose it and it seems like in the back of his teams minds, it is pretty far fetched to acquire. Just my opinion, never heard of suing from the act. All I'm asking is that the terms to me fit the prior article. Arum is a Harvard lawyer, he may be guilty of it also but smarter in his approach. do you see that the demands seem a little farfetched at least?

What do endorsements have to do with anything? If that's the Avenue you want to go down then the question can be why is pac the second highest ppv draw but doesn't see half of what Floyd makes?
But on to actual boxing. Don't take parts of this whole Mayweather vs pac fiasco that wasn't in the negotiations to try to down one of the fighters. Explain why Mayweather offered pac half in the first negotiations and agreed to everything pac wanted, but pac walled away. Also explain why pac turned down what would have been his most lucrative payday of 40mil. Mayweather has not done anything other promoters have not done. And he is doing a Damn good job promoting himself. I wish pac would do the same. Because his name sells itself, and I believe his promoter is the reason this fight has yet to take place.

Your right, endorsements have nothing to do with the purpose of my post. Mayweather is doing extremely if not better than any boxer even without them. The point was the suing of Don King over the Ali Act and the "proposed" demand by Floyd that the only way he'll fight pacquiao is if he joined TMT and give TMT 5 fights which in turn violate the same act. I just went off subject because another member brought up the endorsement fact. I just wonder why he isn't sponsored by a commercial corporation like Nike or something? He's the best boxer of our era, correct? Even Bradley is sponsored by Nike. Is it poor management? Maybe you can help me on this off topic issue?

That is sad that they are on nonspeaking terms. But free agent or not, did Cotto, Mosley, or other free agent have to join TMT to fight Mayweather? I doubt that they would. What do you think?

Recently Floyd Mayweather said that he will only fight Manny Pacquiao if he signs with TMT Promotions and gives him 5 fights under his banner. There was a recent article, "Stiverne Sues Don King, Claims Violation of Ali Act" by David P. Greisman. Wouldn't Floyd be in violation of the Ali Act also since "it prohibits a promoter (TMT, Ellerbe), from requiring a boxer (Pacquiao) to sign an exclusive promotional agreement as a precondition to obtaining a bout agreement with another boxer (Floyd Mayweather) signed by the same promoter(TMT). Seems like Floyd knows he can't violate the Ali Act....so one has to wonder if Floyd is really scared to fight Pacquiao. Why all the fuss in fighting a "has been"? Read between the lines....Mayweather is a coward.

look he doesn't want the fight and never did his fans can twist it anyway they want but there it is

What in the hell does government assigned health care have to do with this?

Lol I know. Guess that's what's on the news and trying to be relevant; however, in boxing, universal health care would help a lot of boxers who get seriously hurt if their promoters don't offer healthcare plans.

Please. Manny never intended to ever fight Floyd in a ring.

He's happy he beat Floyd in a court room for a little money.

Only recently has he agreed to full fledged random drug testing.

End of story.
