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

[huthut]

Manny needs to grab all his money he's earned under Arum and leave Top Rank as soon as possible, whether to fight flyod or not.

Still can't believe Manny is this dumb outside the ring, jeezzzz man....sigh

[HAY-B]

and even then, none of that is Floyds business. Who is he to dictate who Manny chooses to manage his career?

Bottom line, Floyd doesn't seem to want his biggest easy payday.

"take the test, we got a fight".


I guess that isn't really the case.

It's not like Floyd is really losing any money not fighting Manny now. I feel they will fight. Most likely it will be the final fight of his CBS/Showtime deal. From a financial perspective, as of today Manny needs Floyd so Floyd is going to drag it out as long as he can. If the shoe was on the other foot, Manny, rather TR would do the same.
Look at how long other mega fights were dragged out like Tyson vs Holyfield, but it still happened.

all pac has to do is to get some ballz and tell arum to let the fight happen. this fight can still happen in may.if not then money vs maidana then september will do. arum needs to get out the way so mayweather can take pacquiao apart. pac fixes his tax problems and money moves on to the next one.

Did u read the article?? Floyd said he will never do business with arum now. Never.

So pretty much Floyd has been taking us for a ride for all these years. He never intended to really fight Pacquiao. Omg This is the NEW plan now its Bob Arum.

"I will never do business with Bob Arum in my life but I dont wish him nothing bad." Idiotic comment.

This is Floyd's new excuse. He knows that PAC will not leave arum so he's using this as leverage. If he won't do business with arum then why even negotiate in the first place? Now Floyd won't even bring up the only issue before which was random blood test. Floyd has no other choice but to use arum as an excuse for the fight not happening.

It's clear as day this is an excuse. Arum was not an issue before and now he is?? What happen to take the test and we got a fight??

Why does Pac need Arum introducing him at press tour stops in order to fight Floyd? Because after Arum recieves his step aside fee, that's pretty much the only thing he or Pac would lose.

Likewise, when Arum offered GBP a step aside fee to promote Donaire-Mares without them. Was it an excuse for Donaire to duck Mares? I can never seem to get a straight answer to these questions.

Your ignorance is contagious. If more people had decided who to support based on who ran their career, who managed a particular record label the world would be a better place....No we do not know about every injustice perpetrated in the name of profit, but when we see fighters like Witherspoon and Pacman destroyed by selfish promoters like King and Arum we most damn well should decide to boycott who manages the fighters career! And the proof is in the pudding: as bad as King was he at least had the fighters fighting each other on the cards he put together...Arum? selling boxing fans crap, trying to protect fighters like cash cows.

Its high time boxing fans realized that Floyd's act of discrimination (in the literal sense of the word, not pejaritive!) is ultimately in their best interests. When fighters see that scumbags managing them is not acceptable they will get rid of Arum...as they did (for all practical purposes) to King.

Fooking excuse making duck. So we can officially say that floyd has ducked Manny.

Even though we can speculate that Bob has robbed MP (which I wouldn't doubt), my guess would be is that as poor as Manny grew up (Philippines is third world bruh), he probably feels some sort of twisted loyalty to Arum. I mean we're talking about a dude who has amassed millions upon millions, even if he was possibly getting robbed blind of some of it in the process. It's not far fetched to think that Manny sees Bob as damn near a father figure to him.

did you read the article? mayweather said that he won't do business with arum. he did'nt say that he won't do business pacquiao. don't be an idiot.

There you go... so what's next? divorce his wife Jinky and Pac should marry floyd? lol

You do realize that the testing was an issue at a time when Floyd was basically broke. Not only was he broke, but Manny had at least equal, if not more negotiating power than Floyd. Times have changed. Not only has Floyd dwarfed Manny in terms of revenue. He's also clearly seperated himself as the superior fighter, at least in terms of current stature in the sport. So its basically gone from two equals negotiating to where Pac is simply a big named OPPONENT, much like Canelo. If you don't wanna acknowledge that and keep living in the fantasy world where one of these guys is "scared" of the other. Proceed.

[ADP02]

So does that mean that the other demands from Floyd were just BS roadblocks???? How can he say this after 4 years of saying something else???

So Floyd fan can stop saying that the fight would have been made 4 years ago if Manny agreed to testing because Floyd just said something (a roadblock) that contradicts his previous roadblock!!!
