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

[Slip Stream]

The fight isn't happening because Floyd doesn't want it. Everyone knows that.

Why would someone whose fight name is "Money" not want the richest fight ever comprehended? That makes no sense whatsoever, but okay I guess its what you believe. The fight isn't happening because Floyd has never fought a TR fighter, he doesn't do business with Arum.

Forbes is a magazine.

But tell me why, when I open up Sundays edition of the LA Times, I can't find the results of the fight in the "Business" section?

The fact that you're even asking me this shows you're being willfully obtuse.

Makes you think if Floyd was really serious at all when he demanded testing in '09. Was it just a ruse if he never really wanted to do business with Arum, what was that for?

I guess he wasn't serious when he gave pac everything pac asking for but pac walked away and yall still blamed floyd for the fight not happening. Pac is the one who walks away because of testing but floyd wasnt seriously demanding it.

Yall are so damn ****** words can't explain

This shows that if the fight was made you clowns would discredit right after its announced or after did beat him. Pac nuts are the absolute worst fans in boxing

Because the majority of fans who purchase PPVs, don't care who gets what.

Btw, I don't think they are personally insulted, they just see that the offer which includes no PPV, is insulting, and ****** for a star on equal or higher footing to take.
You're not going to go into making a restaurant with a partner and you both have equal value and just give up 100% of the profits while he pays you a flat fee.

You, myself and everyone else knows it was a phony offer. What fighter, in this day and age, with the stature that Manny has, takes 0% PPV?

So you, and others DO care about the money (when it justifies Pacquiao not accepting an offer) and saying "we only care about the fight getting made" is BS. People seem to care about many things surrounding this issue- when it suits them. They care about pride, when justifying an initial problem with random testing (and cut off dates). They care about money when offers are not deemed reasonable and they care about contracts when boxers extend them knowing it'll make a fight we all want to see, more difficult to make. At other times, they say: "We don't care about anything but the fight". If you say so.

He chooses not to. Thats pretty odd for someone who calls himself "Money". Even rivals make money together. Floyd just scared doe, or waiting for Manny to completely lose his speed and footwork.

He's been knocked out three times.

The fact that you can't answer, shows you have no clue about what you're talking about.

Boxing is a sport with a business side. People tune in to see sporting action, not count the participants monies. If a fighter wants to fight someone bad enough, he gets it done without excuses, and thats the bottom line.

The bottom line obviously isn't important enough to "Money". Hes refusing his biggest payday ever because "he won't do business with Bob Arum".

GTFOH.

Are there any other sports where winning isn't enough? Sport IS about winning and losing, right? Is this the case with boxing? I'm not Guillermo Rigondeaux's situation applies.

I don't care about the money, I'm offering the perspective.

Huge difference.
