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

[hitking]

everytime Pac resolve any issue about the fight, new one arises from Floyd! hahahaha! like this recent one.. "I'll Never Do Business With Arum!"

so what happened to the take the test, "Pacquiao your Next", "Health and family comes first"?

What part of "the situation has changed since the first negotiation" does your simple ass not understand? History lesson dumbass. When Pac's TR contract expired, Floyd began publically calling Pac out and offered him the 40m flat fee to fight. Remember, when Arum started talking about imaginary cuts, needing to build stadiums, not taking Floyd seriously because he might be in jail, etc, etc, etc. Then Floyd calls Pac personally, Pac says 50/50 or no fight and proceeded to re-sign with Arum. Since then, Pac's career and drawing power has gone to ****. So now, he has no grounds to negotiate. Its bend over or no fight. Its simple.

Its not a piss example because it prevented fights from happening. And I don't have to talk about what a particular fighter said because the fact is, fights don't happen because of promotional issues. You can ignore it if you want to support your agenda. But Floyd-Pac isn't the only fight not being made bcause of the GBP-TR beef. And you, and everyone else accepts it because you're not emotionally invested in the others that aren't happening. That's just fact. Twist it anyway you want to support your argument.

As for the A-side not dictating management? Did you really just say that out loud? Fact is, damn nea Arum's entire welterweight roster have TR contracts because they had to sign multi-fight deals with TR in order to get a Pacquaio fight. Or did that not count as dictating management as the A-side because Floyd wasn't involved. Get your head outta your ass.

BTW, you never answered my other question. Was Donaire ducking Mares when Arum offerd GBP a step aside fee to promote that fight without them. Huh-O, come to think of it. Was that not Arum flexing his muscle having the A-side of the event and dictating what Mares' management situation was gonna be?

Provide examples of a fighter saying he won't do business with another promoter. I only ask because thats exactly what Floyd is doing, and you're saying its rampant in boxing.


Its not.

Sounds good. Hopefully Manny doesn't re-up with Bob next year although I'd be more concerned that he'll probably lose again.

Mayweater tried to do business with Arum. They offered 50-50. $40m. Now the tables have turned and the days of being nice are over. Manny's going to take the very short end of the stick and his promoter has got to step aside. No? Good luck then.

hey IMDAZED, looks like your LOVE ON FLOYD is 4VER!

Its that simple. Schaefer has already put the offer on the table and we haven't heard **** from Arum sense. Typical.

Well it looks like we're stuck in the mud then. I answered your question, but not to your liking. You refuse to answer mine. Good day.

Enough already

I respect Floyd as a fighter and as a business man but honestly he has more excuses as to why this fight will never happen. It's starting to sound a little pathetic and it's not good for the sport or his legacy. He will always be remembered as the fighter who was 45 (or whatever he retires as) and 0 with the asterick *But he never fought Manny Pacquiao*

Sad but true... So just make the fight happen, shut everyone up and walk away the champion that you are (or claim to be)

[invanex]

no. not at all. mayweather is consistent with where he stands. its not his fault that arum is evil.pac himself had tons of excuses.mayweather has his. so why is it that its mayweathers fault that the fight won't happen?

Health comes first. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[invanex]

He should have never walked away back in 09 when this fight was the hottest and made all of the sense in the world. He would have lost, yea, but he also would have gotten PAID a whole bunch of money in the process. Instead, Manny has gone on to lose --even getting knocked out-- and he has been getting pimped by Arum for his dough. Crazy how things change...and quickly at that. Much like the Pacmanics, Manny is desperate at this point. Rematch another TR fighter it is, then.

100 million, or 40 million. If you were Floyd, what would you rather have?

Yea, thought so. Hes losing money. Especially when he considers Pacquiao to be such an easy work, easy money fight.

He's getting 250 million from CBS/Showtime guaranteed for 6 fights - that's 41.6 million per fight on average. He can push the Pac fight out to fight #6. He's not losing anything. He's in a position to determine when he wants to get the money, but trust he will get it.
