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

[hitking]

So why all those other mythical excuses? Now go tell you other Floydie friends !

What excuses? The original negotiations broke down because Pac didn't wanna go through with extra drug testing. Since, they've broke down because Pac didn't wanna accept a career high payday. If he felt he was worth more, fine. But like I said, if he accepted 40m now, does that mean Floyd fans can run back and say Pac ducked him back then? Quit being a dumbass. Both sides are at fault, whether you accept it or not.

From a business standpoint, does it make sense for fmj to say he would never do business with someone who is a key to securing his biggest payday in boxing? Pride is a ***** I tell ya.

Added a little detail you left out

If Pac sells all these PPVs like Arum and his fanbase claims he does. Why isn't his revenue somewhere in the same general neighborhood as Floyd's?

[PAC-BOY]

Hey, f.uckboy. why does Pac need Arum introducing him at press tour stops in order to fight Floyd? Was Donaire ducking Mares when Arum offered them a step aside fee to promote the fight on his own? Answer the questiond b!tch.

dont know. maybe he is maybe he isnt. Did they step aside?

[ADP02]

Such simpleminded idiots on here. Why is that Mayweather coming out and saying this is proof he never wanted the fight? Why cant it be that he's tired of dealing with Arum's crap, after all these years of failed negotiations that he's decided its not worth his time dealing with him anymore? Arum's excuses are as endless and Floyd's so why is that he gets a break?

Why are you twisting Floyd's words?

Was it Arum that said:
- TAKE THE TEST and we have a fight
- I don't want to fight Manny .... I'm taking a long vacation"
- There was no negotiations
- I don't want to negotiate
- Manny YOU ARE NEXT
- Manny is OK with testing? Oh, then I dont' want 50/50
- Manny is OK with taking less. Then I want ALL PPV Money

- Manny wants to come see me to get the fight on? ..... I don't want to see him.

who gives a ***. What we care about is the fight itself.

Are you going to just continue to make up lies and act like nobody else was paying attention back then?

What you've stated is entirely false.

Man, that is the problem. Some Floyd fans start those myths and the rest of you Floyd fans either never tried t learn the truth or "pretend" to be ignorant about it!

Yes, both Manny and Arum said AFTER those talks about cuts and stadiums that they were OK with May 2012.

The real issue was Floyd's new roadblock of I WANT ALL PPV MONEY since Manny said YES on Floyd's old roadblock.

Now you are labeling me as a Floyd fan.

I never heard Pac and company accept any date before the encarceration. They went the Bradley direction (the robbery of the year).

I do believe that Floyd at some point would say something in the essence that you are stating but that fight was no where of being signed in 2012.

That's the point, he ain't the key. Floyd-Pac doesn't do much more than Floyd-Canelo. If it does more at all. So Pac can either tell Arum to fall back and let the fight happen on Floyd's terms. Or, wait his TR contract out, and risk losing again in 2014 and having even less than the ZERO negotiating power that h has now. Its that simple.

I QUICKLY found this : "Manny says cut is fine"
http://www.************ .com/2012/01/pacquiao-says-his-cut-is-fine-does-arum-know-that/

Doesn't this kind of make people's point. Pacquiao and Arum contradicted each other. Pacquiao mightbhave said he was fine, but the one who makes the decisions tells the world Pacquiao WILL NOT fight Mayweather and that other options will be discussed, regardless of what Pacquiao himself says. When did Pacquiao fight? June if I remember and against one of Bob Arum's shortlisted picks from the article. What should we make of that?
