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

[Big_L]

floyd's choice not to do a fight with top rank involved...but that's on him. not arum. it's not top rank preventing the fight. it's floyd's unwillingness to work with them that's preventing the fight.

I really thought it's about, "tek da test, pac, and we'll have a fight." Hehe...

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

So either this roadblock is BS or Floyd's previous roadblocks were BS or both .... so I'm calling it what it is ....... BS!!!

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.

I know Floyd signed a deal with Showtime. What im trying to say is why not Have the fight shown on Showtime while TopRank promote the fight. Remember Floyd is not signed with GBP. But he wont do business with Top rank

Also if you note Showtime, Floyd and Richard Schaefer have said the same thing.

By law they cant tell Pac to leave Arum,they cant even contact him via phone to say such things, they would be done for liable.

They are very slick with the the way they word it, they are however sending Pac a message through the media and Arum cant say **** or sue anyone.

I think Pac knows the deal, at the mo he is stuck in a contract, so he will have to tread carefully. With Arum out of the way there is more money for everyone.

I believe JUNIOR is very disrespectfull vs the man (BOB ARUM) who bought judges vs CASTILLO,without ARUM's help now JUNIOR's record would be different.

[Kuyukut]

after pac decided to leave bob arum, floyd the fraud will put another roadblock... most probably will ask Pac to drop his religion and become a satanist.

[mrlopez]

you've got to be kidding me

The man paying floyd (essentially his boss) is towing his line? If I'm Espinoza, I tell him you will fight Pacquiao. Steve knows this is the biggest $$$$ fight out there and showtime stands to make a windfall of cash, which i the end is the bottom line. I'm just smdh on why they let this fool turn a blind eye....makes no business sense and mos def add to floyds aura of bit.chness.

I tried to give this guy the benefit of the doubt but its clear as day & now everyone can see. The past negotiations are old news, in the last few weeks, you've seen more excuses and bs coming out of his mouth. He's the one who said pac is easy work, wouldn't even break a sweat..... For his nickname being money, he sure don't want to make the most ever.

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
