Comments Thread For: Mayweather: In My Life, I'll Never Do Business With Arum!

Music to flomo ears, the only excuse they can actually run with.

That's all it is though, an excuse, just like the rest of the roadblocks he has come up with.

So if that's all it is, why not take Schaefer up on his off of Arum taking a step aside fee and let Floyd try and weesle outta it? After Schaefer offered, we haven't heard a peep from Arum.

So he's not???

when did he become the a-side?? are u saying he wasnt the a-side before then??

[Xyei]

Who even gives a shit about the Mayweather vs. Pacquiao fight now? Any interest I had in that fight went out the window when Pacquiao was separated from his senses by piss drinker. The fight should have happened in 2009-2010 but it didn't. Time to move on.

Not a good enough reason not to make the biggest fight in boxing for the fans and general public.

I blame both sides and greed.

thanks arum for that. as long as mayweather is financially loaded.he won't do business with arum

but arum wasnt a problem before right??..

[FeFist]

its not the fact that he doesnt wanna do business with arum, its the fact that arum wasnt a problem before but now he is?? so are u saying floyd never wanted to do the pac fight from the get go then?? because arum was there from the beginning. before it was take the test now its i wont do business with arum and u're on here saying why people is slating floyd for this??

No I'm not saying that he never wanted to do business with Pacquiao/Arum. People on this site seem to have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that people's reason for doing or not doing something often changes with time. Why does this happen? Because people reflect, circumstances change, more is revealed about the subject matter etc.

Floyd is the A-side at this point homie. We can pretend he's not. But that's ignoring facts. So if Pac is the one that truly wants the fight, he needs to do what he has to do to play ball. Much like when Arum had Donaire, the A-side, and offered GBP a step aside fee because he didn't wanna co+promote the fight with them. Was that a duck on Donaire's part?

As for "when has a fighter refused to fight another bassed on a promoter?" Where the hell have you been the last 20+ years? How many fights have failed to be made because fighters an exclusive contracts with HBO and Showtime, which are basically promoters in their own right? How many fights are being made right now because of the GBP-TR beef? Hell, in the welterweight division alone you have Floyd, Garcia, Broner, Matthysse, Thurman, Alexander, and God knows who else. For TR, you have Pac, JMM, Bradley, Provodnikov and whoever else. Look at the endless number of match-ps being missed there because of promotional beefs. Its not just a Floyd-Manny thing. Why is it that fans accept that all these other match-ups are gonna happen because of promotional beefs? But when it comes to Floyd-Manny, its has to be ones ducking or scared of the other. Its ******.

I don't care who the "A side" is. You don't dictate to your potential opponent who is manager is.

and no, your network example is a piss poor excuse. Show me these other fighters who said, "I'm not fighting that guy because hes managed by so and so".

but arum wasnt a problem before right??..

arum has always been the main problem. pacquiao's ******ity has hung himself.

[Gary Coleman]

GBP and Top Rank cannot and will not work together.

So essentially, nothing has changed.

[waxfondler]

LOL.... hey, you throw enough **** on a wall, ones bound to stick.

this is probably the ONLY logical reason for not making the fight.... but team mayweather insisted on going with the "pac is on PEDs" route. LOL.

pac needs to cut ties with arum & koncz ASAP.
