All Floyd has to do is call their bluff. You want drug testing? You're willing to take the lesser cut? OK, so sign the contract. Even when Bob wanted to build that magical outdoor stadium, what would have happened if Floyd called his bluff on it? Does Bob build it or makes another excuse?
That's what he should do. All this crap about "Manny is done, Manny needs to sign with TMT and beat 5 of my fighters, ect. ect.", looks bad on him. Why? Because Manny is a bigger fight than a Khan or Garcia fight. If Robert and Victor are worthy of a shot, why not Manny.
Call his bluff, Floyd. See if Bob is really just talking out of his ass.Comment

Arum knows that 1) FLoyd hates him and 2) He hates Floyd worse. These two will never come to an agreement to make each other money because let's be honest, neither of them are broke and NEED the money, no matter how many millions it is. Pride is priceless and a man will starve himself proud. What needs to happen is one of them needs to swallow their pride, either Arum by letting Floyd have the much bigger piece of the pie to put an end to his cash cow, or Floyd letting Arum dictate the terms to finally just shut him up and silence doubters.
Floyd's "****** Rich Records" type of arrogant mentality will NEVER let him step down and let someone "win". He is a competitor, in ring or out he is trying to have the advantage, and if he can't have it, he'll take his basketball and go home. So for this fight to happen, it's gunna have to be Arum who gives in as Floyd is in the driver seat and as sad as it is would let a fight of the universe pass us all by over his boyish pride. Hate it, love it, either way gotta accept it and stop saying either is ducking the other. This is between Floyd and Bob and Floyd's ball is in Bob's court. Arum better start looking for the assist before Money May takes up his ball and goes home.Comment

Or he can simply ignore it. Anyone that's followed this soap opera could predict this move from Arum. I mean, he's done it after every Pac fight since Manny fought Cotto. And the only time he didn't was when Pac got sleepy. It doesn't make Floyd look bad. The people who think he's ducking are gonna think it regardless. Those folks will never change and really aren't even relevant.Comment

floyd did that in 2009 when he accepted the over weight 10 mil penalty. He did that again before he went to jail then Bob's son in law said the cut manny had was too bad to fight.
Finally floyd gets it. Don't say too much, don't make youtube videos. Just let Bob, manny and his fans say whatever they want to.
Let them win the PR war while you keep making $50 mil everytime you fight.Comment

I think Khan and Garcia need a rematch because let's keep it real, before Khan's brittle chin happened, Danny was getting schooled.Comment

See I think he could change people's perception, especially ones that thinks he's ducking. For example, we've seen Pacman go on first take with Stephen A and Skip and basically called him out, imply he was scared and was willing to do whatever it took to make the fight happen. Lots of people saw that.
Now lets say Floyd goes on there, speak his mind and says something like "Ok you want to submit to all my demands, get the contract out and let's get this done." You don't think that does anything for Floyd? At the very least, it shows the public he wants this fight. Puts the ball back in Mannys court. Beat Arum at his own game. I mean, aside from the first round of negotiations, has Floyd showed any interest in this fight since Manny stepped off the drug testing stance?
And the fact that he gets so defensive and flips out anytime somebody brings up Manny, is another reason folks say he's ducking. They take that as fear. I know people say Floyd doesn't care what people think about it, well I think he cares a little because why else would another mans name make him so defensive. Floyd can play the same game Arum is playing and call his bluff. I want him toComment
