Scheafer has giant ego. Maybe Hoya will be is easier to work with.

Mr. Arum on behalf of my family and I, we wish you happy holidays and a great year. Let's make these fights for the fans. @SHOsports @HBO

HEY PAC FANS ITS SIMPLE U WANT FLOYD TELL UR IDOL PAC TO LEAVE BOB ARUM!!!!!!!!
Is that so hard to figure out as of now it aint floyd or pac duckin its floyd an everybody he makes millions with not wanting to work with bob periode floyds said it schafer and oscar have all said it leave bob an the fights made but its also not hard to understand floyd is comeing off his best yr in boxing if not THE best yr in boxing while pac is coming off his worst yr of boxing now he beats rios an all the sudden he will smash floyd again........come on guys!!!!!!

[WESS]

Everyone remembers Bob changed Pacs return date when Floyd had his jail sentence pushed back. Yet now Bob knows Floyd is returning in May and he wants April? Yeah, Bob's ready..... lol

Schaefer is being blunt about it where as Bob is trying to make the media believe he actually wants to do business (by expressing he wants Bradley, JMM and Pro vs Pac in April).

Fans should be wanting to see Maidana or Thurman vs Pac, Bradley and/or Pro... Yet we won't hear a word. Why? Because "floyd scarrrrrrred doe". lol

Anything but Mayweather Khan is acceptable at this point. Let alone the talks of Mayweather vs Broner fight. At least that is over with.

Still trying with that BS.

How did it feel having your **** pushed in last night?

[junior gong]

GBP and floyd need to stop blocking this fight and man the fook up. Its just excuse after excuse

[umop-ap!sdn]

So was Bob Arum not going to be involved when Mayweather supposedly offered 50/50 and then again when he offered $40m?

FINALLY Goldenboy is flexing their superior muscle and ousting that P.O.S. loser Bob Arum. Thinking of all the fights Bob Arum has robbed us of, we can only take pride and comfort in the fact that Bob Arum will soon die of old age, knowing his company got ran into the ground by his two biggest stars that he robbed...Oscar and Floyd...and his son Todd Duboef will soon be applying for a janitorial position at Goldenboy Headquarters while Boxing fans are whizzing on his grave.

I don't think Arum and Floyd dislike each other personally. Every now and then, they both say nice things about each other.

But when it comes to BUSINESS, and that's the keyword here, Floyd views Arum with disgust for the most part. If that weren't the case, Floyd would've done business with Top Rank after all these years. Similar to Cotto.

I think Arum dropped the ball during the first negotiations. That was the closest Floyd ever got to doing business with Arum again. Even though Oscar is a snake, Floyd sees Arum as a more poisonous snake when it comes to business.

It was brought up in the Rigo thread. Bob said he couldn't promote a fighter like Floyd. He could never make him an Oscar fight and laughed at the thought...he was unmarketable. Floyd bought his contract out left and became the highest paid boxer in the history of the sport. It's not surprising he doesn't want to make money for a guy who told Floyd he wasn't going to make any money...and then went right out and did just that. You can call it petty but if my boss said I didn't have the skills to get a promotion at work, and I quit and started my own company making much more than I would've imagined just getting the promotion I'd be sour too. Business is lost on these forums though and most lack the commonsense to even try to understand it.

****ing bankers, man

**** you shafter. This dude has turned into a giant d-bag over the years. When Manny agrees to everything and is at a point where he can't but accept less money, they still say no to the fight. They don't even wanna talk about it.

Arum doesn't want this fight, but the amount of sheep that continue to believe Golden Boy does is something else entirely.

And where is everybody that used to complain about Top Rank's in house fights? When's the last time Golden Boy worked with another promoter on a main event, not some ****ty untelevised undercard?
