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

[Vasyl’s dad]

All those samee homes had boxes for Manny's last several fights, which have tanked in PPV land. So back to my original point. If its Floyd who the world sees as the chicken **** and Manny the proud warrior, shouldn't those numbers be reversed? Or, does the world you speak of only consist of you and you're lil fanatical homeboys?

I already addressed this point. You just chose to overlook it. Floyd should get more buys seeing as how he is an american on an american network. If anything, you're only propping up Manny. Yes, Floyd sells more, but not by much. What does it say about Floyds popularity when a little midget from across the globe can nearly match him in ppv sales? It says that he isn't quite the force you think he is. So all this "a side" crap you're spewing is just that. Crap. There is no astronomical gap between the two in terms of sales. If Manny was born and raised here, he'd more than likely be blowing those numbers out of the water.

Pacquaio has since signed two extensions which means he could've opted out if he had been approached to hold out for one fight and then sign his extension but that never happened..that's my point..the window to get arum out of the way entirely has been there twice.

True. But on the end of "Pac ducked Floyd and its all smokescreens." I'm on the end of both sides are to blame and neither side genuinely wanted/wants the fight. And that's avery lonely place to be in Crazyville.

Some of you guys lack any common sense. You dont think the years of failed negotiations and getting ****ed around by Arum had an impact on Mayweather's decision to just not work with him entirely. Yes, he tried in the past but it was to no avail. Why keep trying when you know it wont go anywhere?

indeed....

I will honestly say that Pacquaio should be removed from the equation..one thing we can say about that little mofo is he'll fight anyone in any sized ring..whatever reasons this fight never took place I will never blame him for it..I can't think of any other mofo on earth with the balls to get put to sleep and say you know what...let's do that shhh again. After that right there he got my deepest respects..I was in the wind about him up until that point..showed me this dude don't care about win or lose he's about the fight.

I ain't really talking about back in the day when I've already acknowledged that Floyd and Manny were relative equal stars. I'm talking about recently. Because regardless of where they're from, post-DLH Pac was every bit the star Floyd was. So his dramatic dip in sales can't be blamed on where he's from because he's already shown that it didn't matter when concerning him.

Man my bro is like the biggest Pacquaio defender on earth and I will say this he stopped fking with him when the politics got inovled and I can say that I think alot of people stopped messing with him because they honestly didn't think and still don't think he's completely dedicated to the sport kinda like how people feel about broner doing the rap shh on the side.

[BarnBurnerBrawl]

He knew Pac was coming for him when he was getting his ass kicked at 130lbs by JMM. Dude STFU and go get on boxrec or something. At least make your argument make chronological sense. Because right now, everyone here that was watching boxing in 200x knows you're a f.uckin' idiot.

Makes perfect sense to those not in denial , Floyd scared of that O not so much manny ,but he knows manny could very well give it to him by hitting him from every angle . Floyd back peddles in the ring and ducks at the negotiation table .

[AgainstTheRopes]

Funny you say lack of common sense...wasn't Pacquaio's contract up after the Margarito fight? Yup...so why not say hold on..before you sign that contract let's fight and we negotiate directly...this has happened twice.. Pacquaio staring down the end of his contact with top rank...the first one being 4!!!! year ago!!! when this fight was first considered. Floyd never had to deal with Arum if he didn't want to...but we lack the common sense? Again read clearly and carefully..Pacquaio was virtually a free agent twice since the public started clamoring for it..so if Floyd didn't want arum involved why didn't he call Pacquaio then and instead waited until the entire world knew he was locked into Top Rank?

You sound as though you thought Pacquiao would actually leave Arum. lmaoooooooooooo

He's not even going to leave him now, even though Arum might be taking money from him and is the reason Manny has serious tax problems.

That's kinda my point, and has been. None of these guys are ducking each other. The fight isn't being made for promotional reasons. The same reason we couldn't see Donaire-Mares, before they ran into Rigondeaux and Gonzolaz. Is the same reason we can't see Floyd-Pac. Problem is, people accept it for every fight other than Floyd-Pac.

[NachoMan]

Okay, fine Floyd, no superfight then; but, please, no more damned excuses. No need to explain your way out of anything anymore. You just plain don't want to get in the ring with that man. We get it and we can all move on.
