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

[AgainstTheRopes]

He wasn't with Arum his entire career and is it honestly that far fetched to assume a boxer who has a contract that just expired wouldn't take a fight in between contracts? It's happened before. Regarding the tax shhh...read my signature..if you are a legit boxing fans stfu about money son..we ain't accountants..we are boxing fans..finances ain't got shhh to do with what these men do in the ring..all the outside bullshhh is for fanboys and ****ryders. I could give a fck if FLoyd has $20 bucks to his name or Pacquaio has $2 to his name...only money I care about is mine.

Whether you like it or not and whether you can understand it or not, money has a huge impact on the product you see in the ring.

STOP!!!! I'm a help you because I feel sorry for you. When talking about Floyd's "retirement", say he left because he the welterweight division was hot and he wanted no part of Cotto, Mosley, Margarito, and even Williams. Manny wasn't even in the equation back then. OK, that's my olive branch to you. If you continue, you're just making yourself look even dumber, even to those on your side of the argument. Notice throughout the thread how they come to defend each other. Nobody's coming to assist you because what you're saying is f.uckin' ******ed. And amount of fandom can justify it.

Floyd is scared of the O where's your olive branch for that?

I don't know. I'm a AB fan and I'm still an AB fan. I don't think none of the extra **** hurt him. Well, not as much as some want to believe. I just think he and his team tried to take a shortcut to stardom and it bit him in the ass. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'ma say this..AB was in NYC partying when he was supposed to be in camp..i'll let that one sink in. He fell for the same shh Tyson and others have where it becomes so easy that they slack off and eventually pay for it. Unlike Floyd AB drinks and parties like crazy..all that shh catches up to you..the most famous boxer who got bit in the @ss for his partying was Duran. Duran used to balloon up to nearly 200 pounds from the boozing and eating between bouts..Adrien in Floyd's all access looked about 175 easily.

Bull. This fight is 100% in Floyd's control. If Floyd wanted to fight Manny then it would happen. Floyd would beat Manny, but he just can't bring himself to risk it. Floyd has had a personality problem with Bob Arum for more than a decade, yet that wasn't Floyd's reason last year or the year before. As soon as Manny removes an obstacle Floyd comes up with a new one. Then Floyd's fan rush in here and support his new b.s. excuse acting like it makes 100% sense. Screw this fight and Floyd. He doesn't want it, plain and simple. He'll be a first-ballot hall of famer one day, but, precisely because of his reluctance to take this fight, he will NEVER be considered the GOAT by the general fight fan.

Its all on Floyd. And that my friend is part of the reason why Arum never had to genuinely make the fight. Because he knows, he has your kind to back Manny no matter what. Me and Big Dunn named move-by-move what Arum gonna do in the weekes before and after the Rios. Neither of us are psycic. He's just been doing the same **** over and over and your kind keeps buying. N matter what happens, blame Floyd. Its about 400k of ya'll left according to the Pac-Rios numbers. That's enough revenue to keep bull**** going.

Are we in the ring? Are we negotiating contracts? Are we privied to the negotiation tactics? Are we privied to these guys actual bank accounts? Are we managing their portfolios, investments, expenses? No...right? We watch their interviews, footage of their camps, the odd fan taken video, the press conferences and the fights they fight...again to those who take the sport for what it is a sport don't care about money..we want "our monies worth" and that's it. It's just like folks focus on how much money Jay-Z has..if Jay's album is trash his money means absolutely nothing, same goes for Kanye and anyone else. We are consumers not money managers. So with all due respect to your opinion i'll step away from the money talk...Fans start feeling like they really know these people and seem to sit around counting their money for them.

I'm sure it didn't help. But being a lightweight without elite skills or power in the ring with a welterweight that you can't outclass, can't hurt, and who can hurt you hurt a lot worse.

I say Broner should take a year off, get all that new money shh out of his system and then focus on the sport. He's not talented enough to not eat, sleep and shhhit boxing and be successful. I produce music for a living, I know how hard that life and how a mofo can go from looking and feeling 25, to looking and feeling 40 in as little as two years in the business.

OK you right.

Floyd still ducking . To me that 0 means nothing when you come up with a dozen excuses to NOT face the top compition 45- 0 no draws and 1 fighter ducked . He even retired early to avoid Pac .smh . Hit king, take your head out of your as and see the light of Day .

well your actually wrong, he retired when the media was trying to force him to fight Cotto. points for trying.

[BarnBurnerBrawl]

@ hit king 'can you read in between the lines . He retired early cause he would have lost to Mosley cotto marigirito and even Williams . The divisions is to hot I retire .fast forward the division cooled down I'm Back . Wait a min pac is to good I might lose He's on Steriods /I need more money/ I'm not working with Bob Arum . Excuse s this time not retirement . His O means sh** to me . Defend all you want Pac man will fight any one bigger even if they knocked him out cold . Thats what fighters do not worry about a O
