Comments Thread For: Showtime Prez: Mayweather-Pacquiao, Not With Top Rank

[SceneSpectator!]

Only fool believes on Floyd! It became apparent that Floyd raised issue after issue just to knocked any potential fight with Pac out! and Top Rank or Bob Arum or anything else were not and never be the issues except his fear to lose his "0" loss record to Pac! So Floyd, just like JMM who won once, are both afraid losing to Pac and any potential fight idea to mix Pac on any of these 2, plainly just forget it because Pac could not fight anyone with fear on his heart of losing to him.

So it's a promotional conflict....
Floyd's his own boss...
Arum's being himself...
Manny's a puppet, but fights whoever's in front of him...

If the boxer doesn't want/chicken**** to fight,you can't do anything about it.You can blame every person on the planet,still if the boxer's chicken****..no fight!

Arum called it...first random drug testing which is finally agreed and now he wants Pac to leave top rank.

Finally = code word for turning down 50-50, taking people to court, having your PPV #s fall, turn down $40m, get KO'ed and then have your PPV flop.

While Pac was winning Arum & Pacs team thought had the boxing world by the balls & what ever they said & did was the law & when a fight against Mayweather was being negotiated, they mocked & criticized the S H I T out Floyd Jr for suggesting that Olympic style drug testing should be done(& Arum, PAC & the rest of the team used every excuse to avoid that type of testing) then Arum himself said that while Floyd was working with "Golden Boy" that fight couldn't be done & even said that he was willing to work with old time arch rival Don King, if Floyd decided to work with him instead of "Golden Boy".. After Pac lost 2 in a row(got knocked the *** out in the 2nd back to back defeat) & Arum noticed Pac marketing value was not the same(it went down) & noticed that Floyd is the one brining in serious $$$$$$$(the most in boxing & in all sports) , they got off the high horse(or more like fell off) & now they are ALL FOR & SUPPORT OLYMPIC STYLE DRUG TESTING & even had it done in his last fight(weird thing was that Pac asked for that type of testing when his old physical trainer Ariza crossed over to train his opponent Rios & after the fight Rios tested positive for some sort steroid, things like that make people think) & all of a sudden Arum seemed in some sort of way to deal with "Golden Boy" on this one, now the tables have been turned & it's Floyd is the one that doesn't want to work Arum, he doesn't have a problem fighting Pac but if Pac wants part of that kind of $$$$$(& with his tax problems in the u.s. & Philippines he really needs it now! ) Pac is gonna have to either do a bunch of other fights under "Top Rank" or work something out with Arum to step a side on this one..

Showtime Sports Executive VP Stephen Espinoza is not confident that a Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao super-fight will ever happen - unless Pacquiao breaks away from Top Rank and retains a new promoter.

Earlier this week, Mayweather took several social network swipes at the Filipino star. [Click Here To Read More]
