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

[The_Sandman]

From the first negotiation where it was only about testing til now, they went through bunch of lawsuits and badmouthing each other. Arum lying here and there. So yeah, I'm pretty sure it's going to be more than blood testing now. If I was Floyd and Arum was robbing me (and continually robbing Pac) when I was working under him, then yeah, guess what. I probably wouldn't want to work with him. No. A normal person wouldn't want to work with Arum. But yeah, I can't say Floyd is the one ducking despite the **** he says. "Pac can have the belt" and all this **** to me sounds more like a "I don't want to deal with Arum." People don't understand the headaches of negotiation when they are already making millions for easier negotiations.

So I guess Floyd wasn't a normal person in the first few rounds of negotiations

You haters just hate floyd. I'm glad he pick khan even if it is a lot less the amount that he will make against pac but at least a sure win.

The bad blood wasn't as bad at the time. It was during and after the negotiation, after the lawsuits, after the suing, all the **** talking back and forth, after all the headaches. Like I said before, Top Rank and Golden Boy still worked together back in those days. So the fight was still possible. It was only after this particular Mayweather vs Pacquiao negotiations where the bad blood got really bad and they are now totally not working together. I'm sure Mayweather is still willing to work with Pacquiao himself, but he needs to leave Arum.

Tell me one good reason why Pac should stay with Arum and I will give you 100 reasons why he shouldn't.

No he isn't a normal person, he the most successful athlete in the world and the most powerful as well as dominant boxer in the industry.

Floyd submit his pride the first time because he didnt believe Shane Mosley was a PPV attraction and wanted to stay active. Pacquiao was a sure bet for a PPV event, most of the people around him I'm sure was expressing it constantly. However the negotiation fell apart because supposedly Pacquiao fear needles, and Mayweather wasn't budging. People desperate for Floyd to lose then wanted him to fight Mosley, so he went with that.

His PPV with Mosley was more successful than Pacquiao's, that's when Floyd had the bigger hand. He's not letting Arum hold court like that ever again.

Floyd has more responsibility for the bad blood than anyone else, so no. You're just coming across as extremely biased.

[SlyRaccoon]

Why are people listening to Bob Arum? You're basically a dolt if you think Arum is someone that business can vibe healthily. It's like basically you want to keep ignorance a live and believe the Devil lies. Look at Pacquiao.. I know he may be smiling like an idiot through his financial troubles but I promise you he wish he wasn't in that contract right now.

One minute it was always about leaving Bob Arum and the next it was "the bad blood wasn't as bad"

Do these guys ever get dizzy from all the spin?

[SlyRaccoon]

At one minute it was Pacquiao is scared of needles, then he wants a 24 day cutoff, then a 14 day cutoff, then his eye needs 9 months to heal, then Bob Arum has to build a stadium. That's not even half of the stories told.

You guys can pick and choose
