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

I don't think I've said that a single time since I've been on this forum. But likewise, Pac doesn't seem all that eager himself. That's what your side of the argument refuse to acknowledge for whatever reason.

So you are half way there then. Floyd is not eager.

You guys only have the initial negotiations but like every Floyd fan is saying about this latest excuse then they should apply that logic to Manny's response back then.

Floyd fans are saying today that "Floyd's feelings are hurt and Floyd is too sensitive to negotiate with Arum" BUT can't get that Floyd did much worse by trying to ruin Manny's reputation back then by ACCUSING Manny of taking PEDs with NO PROOF!

this guys a phuking joke,......and i dont want to see him on may or sep. go fight for brooklin and sell out the msg. let the real man fight......

[waxfondler]

First off....Mayweather wanted 60/40 and he gave in to 50/50....Pac walked away to fight clottey for 6mil over blood tests that according to them were no issue...until it came time to sign the contracts. So please quit acting like they just threw that in there....

Victim card? Facts my man what power does Manny have now.....60/40 f that! He doesnt deserve that anymore....flat fee of 40mil maybe....again more than hes ever made. Then we have to get into WHAT ARUM GETS.......that's the hold up

dude, im not in disagreement about what pac gets NOW. pac would be lucky to get 30% lol. the debate was about who called the shots and who had to bend in the first negotiations. and i stand firm that pac had the power & didnt NEED to bend to floyds demands at the time.

btw, i got my #s mixed, youre right about the 50/50 the first go round.

Yu should have stuck with "I don't remember" because everyone else remembers that both Manny and Arum said OK with May 2012 instead of June just to get the fight on.

but

Floyd backed out and used his "I WANT ALL PPV MONEY" and later "My health is more important" excuses.

Really? That is news to me because Manny had a dangerous cut that needed like 120 days to heal as per Arum plus he needed to build a statdium to host the event. Never ever heard that they were accepting the date. If anything the were saying that Pac wasn't ready until after the date that Floyd had to go to report to serve his jail time.

"In My Life, I'll Never Do Business With Arum!".

When people are clamoring for a fight with Golovkin:

"In My Life, I'll Never Do Business With A Fighter Who Has Ever Boxed On HBO! I Don't Even Shadowbox Anymore!"

GGG has an exclusive contract with HBO. Floyd has one with Showtime. Floyd's fault.

That is actually true and chronicled on ESPN. Top Rank were fine with Pacquiao fighting in May, until Mayweather got his jail date extended to allow him to fight on the May date he reserved. Then, Arum came out and said he had a cut from his previous fight that needed time to heal. He wouldn't be ready until June.

So basically whatever happens, its Floyd's fault. Arum didn't wanna match Cotto with Floyd when they were at 40. But ultimately, Floyd's fault. Mosley didn't wanna fight Floyd when Floyd was at 30 and he was at 35. Ultimately, Floyd's fault. Floyd opted to fight the REAL welterweight champ instead of Margarito, who had loses to Santos and Williams. Ultimately, Floyd's fault. And now the situation with Pac. Pac didn't wanna take a drug test. Then, he turned down a career high payday. And now, he wants Arun introducing him at press tour stops. But ultimately, Floyd's fault.

What you don't get is that Floyd says he wants "A fair fight" but the TRUTH is that he wants ALL THE ADVANTAGES.

Example: CW for Canelo. Ellerbe said that was smart on their part for draining Canelo.

Back then Cotto and FLoyd were under Arum. Arum was interviewed and said that "Cotto is still improving and will fight Floyd in a year or two AND has the best chance of beating Floyd". So Arum knew and the rest of us knew this.So you bet that Floyd knew that Cotto was still improving and needed more time.

Same with Canelo. We all know that Canelo has many issues to fix. Floyd admitted to that. So if Floyd admitted, isn't that enough proof for you? What else do you need to hear?

For Floyd it's all talk. Mosley wanted to fight Floyd and said "Floyd is growing feathers" ..... If you think that Mosley was ducking Floyd to fight guys like Winky then you need to re-assess your thoughts! Mosey has a good history of fighting tough fights!

GGG has an exclusive contract with HBO. Floyd has one with Showtime. Floyd's fault.

I fail to even see the relevancy of that argument he was making. It would be one thing if GGG was competing at 154. He isn't.

[Calabis]

Manny said let's do it in May 2012 (since June was out of the question)

No a cut prevented him from fighting in may

GGG has an exclusive contract with HBO. Floyd has one with Showtime. Floyd's fault.

so "In My Life, I'll Never Do Business With HBO!"
