I know Floyd supposedly won't fight Manny because of hatred for Arum but What's the issue between TR and GBP? At least we could see Manny in with some other top 147 pounders at GBP. Just wondering....

I don't think ODH is all to fond of old Bob either. He left Arum high and dry and formed a rival promotional company that surpassed Arums. ***s don't really forget being ****ed over in business like that.

Arum is probably very bitter knowing he is going the same way as Don King. He is done when Manny is done imo.

History of bad blood between De La Hoya + Mayweather vs Arum.

They felt Arum cheated them out of $$$ and not trustworthy.

And each promotion company wanting to keep the $$$ in house.

There's always been bad blood. Things escalated after the first Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiation in Dec. 2009/Jan. 2010. This failure was followed by Arum saying that he never wanted to do business with GBP. He then followed up by saying he never wanted to do business with Al Haymon. And that none of them needed to be involved in any promotion of Mayweather-Pacquiao. Here we are today.

I think it all started, when, oscar parted with arum and created his own promotional company.

First off: Weebler, jesus Christ those pics in your SIG!!! Who is that chic?
Its sad that so called business men at their level can't put their issues aside and put together the fights fans want to see. For the kind of money they could make working together you would think they would. Of course the ones who suffer the most are us the fans.
