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

[Vasyl’s dad]

Your righteous indignation is misplaced...Are you really that ******? Assuming you are then understand this: At a certain point greedy seedy, self serving promoters materially control your viewing pleasure. Case in point, Arum who, whether you care or not, has made it so many fights will not happen. King would be guilty of the same thing. So it does matter!

Put another way: your presumably a young man who cares about your family and scoffs at misplaced loyalty yes? Well Arum is an old man who could afford to **** off so this fight could happen for Manny and chooses not to. Now, I hear you....sure thing Oscar will not be at your bedside making sure your family eats but...as an outfit that is more fightercentric, he may be able to guarantee you that more fights get made for your viewing pleasure.

Bob Arum has given me so many fights to my liking. Golden Boy, not nearly as much, but only because they haven't been around as long. But I personally don't care who puts on the fight. I've been to TR cards, GB cards, Goosen Tutor cards, etc.

None of that matters though, because I'm getting to see the fights I want to see. The funny thing is, you keep blaming Arum. I blame them all when certain fights don't get made. But history sides with Arum when fights get made. GB is dropping the ball due to their incompetence, or at the request of Floyd. In this instance, the only one making demands and excuses is Floyd Mayweather. Never did he need any extra testing before Manny became a potential opponent. In 2010, he never said he won't work with Arum. A negotiation went down, and Floyd came up with his smear campaign, and then paid a sum of money. How do you negotiate with someone you say you will never work with?

Btw, if you need to question if I'm ******, its more than certain the ******ity lies in with the questioner.

You obviously missed the point. So I'll ask again.

Why should Bob give up his side of the promotion to appease Golden Boy? Because Richard says so? Why not just do 50/50?

LMAO!!!!!! Floyd's last show did over 2m. Pac's did 400k. That's a 50/50 split if I've ever seen one.

[Fetta]

looks like you are confused. "In My Life, I'll Never Do Business With Arum!" not sure who burned the bridge and who bring testing in the table in 2009 and dealing with arum ever an issue 4 years ago and up to last week?

Take the Test
On Vacation
No negotiation happened
Pac your next
$40M flat with no PPV
Health comes first
Pac have 2 loses out of 3 fights

Icould list all the things pac and arum did to RUN from this fight but you wont believe them anyway so ill just say

ONE MOVING FORWARD THE OTHER MOVING BACK. Hurts you to admit who is who but you do.

Pac: "testing is good for the sport" to bad it wasnt when the fight was on table

[rey guey]

so why didn't Mayweather say this years ago.

all that Mayweather vs Pacquiao talk, the testing and all that was just Mayweather blowing smoke up everybody's az.


so finally we can all say without a doubt Mayweather never wanted to fight Pacquiao.

[Vasyl’s dad]

Yes while he was there, also his fn skills were great.....but Arum put him in a perfect situation. ..when Floyd wanted to start taking bigger riskier challenges(dlh)Arum f'd up....he didnt want to lose his cash cow...but his stubborn greed lost him Floyd anyway. Pac is a moron he had a chance to leave and his name alone could have made him so much more. But what comical is all the **** Arum said and did...u guys just discount...but if someone did the same to u...u would cut them out if ur life.

Wrong. Arum wanted to match up Floyd with Margarito and Floyd boned out. "he-here, take th-this money so I-I can fight someone else".

[LAFIRPO]

Floyd, at the least, did 870k with Guerrero. Is Guerrero more sellable than Rios? BTW, who cares if the fight took place in China? It was broadcast in the normal Sat night time slot like any other US PPV. So that has nothing to do with why it didn't sell.

Believe it or not, location does matter. The reason the fight didn't sell is because Brandon Rios is a not a very well known fighter, the location, and the fact that Manny lost his last fight by KO and some thought he was done.

Also, the undercard was lame, as a matter of fact it was one of the worst PPV's I've seen in years.

So, considering all these negatives, 400k wasn't as bad as it sounds. And the whole 400k was brought in by Manny, because Brandon Rios brought very little to the table.

What you need to ask yourself is why the fight was held in China. Well, I am pretty sure the Chinese paid a lot of money for Arum to stage the fight there.

[hitking]

I will give you the answers to these questions...IF, you can list ALLLLL the excuses Floyd has given to NOT fight Manny Pacquiao!


Oh...and by the way. This is our world...you just live in it! :ANWOD:

Floyd's excuses. I think he said that he had a cut, that wouldn't allw him to fight in May. But when he thought Pac was going to jail, he said he'd be ready to fight JMM in the same month. Then he said he couldn't fight in May cause he needed to build a new stadium. Your turn b!tch.

[Bigg Rigg]

And it's not like he just started feeling like this. He's had this mind set since '09. He's never wanted to do the PAC fight because of this reason n he just admitted it. Bob is a scumbag so I'm not even that mad at him but I just don't wanna hear no Floyd d1ck lickers say anything different. Floyd never wanted to do this fight. Another thing is that Floyd talks too much as if he's his own boss when he's not! You're like Cotto, can do what u want but your events will always be under the GBP banner! And this is why boxing is a joke. One guy holding a grudge prevents the best fight in years from happening. Smh it's like the heat not playing the lakers in the finals because Lebron dislikes kobe. So we have to see him trash all the east teams cuz he will never play the lakers.

[Vasyl’s dad]

Which is fine but if you read what I said, Arum outright denied ever receiving an offer. Quit making excuses for him.

Did he recieve a 50/50 offer?

No. Did he receive some bs, "you give your fighter to us so we can make money"?

Yea. So he lied about it, whoopdeewhoo. Are you telling me, you'd take 30 dollars to let someone put your dog in a fight when you can make 100 if you put the dog in a fight yourself?

You're a liar if you say yes.

So Robert Guerrero is more marketable than Brandon Rios.
