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

So what happens to Floyd's prior excuses?

If he was a smart liar then he would've used this one from the beginning; but he didn't.

Now no one but his **** riders believe this bs & are giving him the bulk of the blame, wether he deserves it or not.

Should've kept your mouth shut.

Yup that is where Floyd and his fans get confused on how to answer that and run for the hills because they have no good answer.

When all else fail, use the Arum card. You'll never see anything like it where a boxer uses a promoter as an excuse not to fight. It's embarrassing.

arum ruined pacquiao's legacy

[mrlopez]

Floyd signed a 6 fight deal with Showtime, he has a good relationship with GBP, fights get made.

Arum and Floyd will never work together, way too much bad blood, soon as Pac breaks free from Arum, Goldenboy and Al will be on his ass and most likely will make the Floyd fight finally happen.

Right now Goldenboy cant go near Pac, they cant approach him, as Arum will sue their ass off, its a waiting game. Come the end of 2014 Pac is a free agent once again, ready for offers and Showtime, GoldenBoy and whoever else can start talks with him

I have this feeling Arum might screw Pac over in the Bradley rematch

I can't see hbo letting pac sign with showtime......

Why wasnt Arum an issue when Floyd was negotiating with Pac for an osdt cut off date? Why wasnt Arum an issue when Floyd offered Pac a $40mil flat fee to fight him? I just find it funny at how now Arum is the main stumbling block since Pac has conceded to all of Floyd's testing demands. What I really dont understand is, how does Pac being a TR fighter effect Floyd in any way whatsoever? Floyd is going to make what Floyd is going to make from this fight no matter what so what's the problem?

Danny Garcia is with Golden Boy. Fight him

Its all about money and grudges

You are dealing with people who loath each other.

They just want Arum out of the way, he's like a gooseberry, a leach, they want everything in-house, among friends

They are trying to run Arum out of business, Pacman is his biggest asset, they cant move in on him, but Richard Schaefer just happened to mention at the end of 2014 Pac is a free agent, he would know this lol, and mentions this for a reason. GBP would love to have Pac on their team, and see the demise of Arum and TR

BOTH Arum and Schaefer are leeches! And thats a major roadblock if their waiting for Pac to be out of TR to make the fight happend. And like I said....Showtime and GBP prolly got a deal because IF everyone was cool with each other right now GBP would not be needed to make the fight happend.

I can't see hbo letting pac sign with showtime......

But Pac Doesn't have an Exclusive Deal with HBO like FLoyd and Showtime....

Pac can Fight on ESPn if they want to put up 30 mill for is next fight


HBO deal is with Top Rank...

I'll Put my Nuts on it...That As Soon as Bradley Leaves Top Rank a Fight with Floyd get made!!!!!

If Pac was Smart he would ask Bob to play the background Arum will still get paid and the fight will be made....

You think if pac try to leave HBo they will throw him a 100 million Contract??

No way in Hell!!!

But I'll also bet My Nuts on it if Al Haymon was his Manager he would have a Similar Deal with Showtime like Floyd :blow:

[TLC8]

Just As Arum Once Said, "Once U Meet One Of Floyd's Demands, Then There's Another"

Just smoke screens. U can never satisfy Floyd. Before it was random drug testing. Pacquiao agreed to it all, then it was percentages. Pacquiao offered 45/45 and the winner gets the extra 10%. Floyd balked at that. Then he didn't want Floyd training in the Philippines, then he said Manny was on the down hill slide, he wasn't marketable, then he said Manny has Rios to deal with, then Manny has unfinished business with Bradley & Marquez, now it's this Arum excuse. It's all BS. Mayweather is an ego maniac punk. If Manny left Arum, then it would be something else. He already said as another excuse Manny needs to sign with Mayweather Promotions. Gimme a break. He's a real deadbeat with no character. This isn't 'business', this is Floyd's way of ducking Pacquiao hoping someone else steps on the ring to finish off Manny so Floyd never has to take on the risk of fighting Pacquiao. And he calls himself Champion, P4P greatest in the World, and fans buy into this fraud. Grow a set and fight the best of the best.

I can't see hbo letting pac sign with showtime......

I'm not sure what deal Pac has with HBO and for how many fights

All i know is he is a free agent from Arum at the end of 2014, this allows for other promotions to approach him without the fear of liable (breach of contract). Thus Showtime, Floyd and Schaefer have put out cryptic messages through the media, directed at Pac

I'm sure GBP, Pac, Showtime and HBO could work something out with Arum out of the picture.

We will just have to wait and see
