    Same reason Arum and Manny won't do business with Floyd and GBP.

    Just think of all the money they could make by signing up to fight Floyd. However, the way people talk on here, you'd think Floyd is the only one losing out on all sorts of money

      Arum and Don King are known for briberies and withholdinng purses and monies. They're sleazebags and almost all fighters who do business with them get burned in the end. It may not look that way from the outside to you guys, but it is what it is. I watch this effort at negotiation took a wrong turn when Arum tried to low-ball as well as playing dodge with Mayweather and the media. I don't blame him, even though I want to see the fight, his interest still comes first.

            100% on point. If Manny wanted the fight, it was there for him. Money is called that...because he's the one writing the checks. ****Arum

              If that was the case Arum would have no fighters ex.: Don King. It's just an excuse. By the way you do know how negotiation works? You start low, go back and forth and meet at a happy medium. But Floyd doesn't even want to talk and there's always an excuse on why. Fk this fight. I hope they retire so everyone can move on.

                It is a simple history between Arum and FMJ. Arum ducked the MP fight, made up a elaborate show while doing it, and owes FMJ money from past dealings. Hence, I will not work with Bob Arum anymore. Simple

                  floyd said that when he was with top rank Bob Arum held millions of dollars that was due to him. That's why when his contract was over he left and swore to NEVER do business with him...EVER. I don't understand what's so hard to understand. If I owed you money, would you allow me to make history off you?? You guys can't be that slow. Everyone said floyd ducked cotto but the moment cotto left top rank floyd fought him....

                    Doing business with arum means Floyd will have to fight pacman lol.. But all jokes aside I know Floyd will not hesistate to do business with arum if Floyd wasn't the one that's fighting. Like as in a promoter position Floyd would do business with arum. Floyd is just using arum now as an excuse, notice how arum was never a problem before and then all of a sudden now Floyd won't do business with arum. This is the only roadblock left that Floyd knows for a fact will stick because PAC is not leaving arum atleast not anytime soon.

                      Floyd is using another excuse to wait until Pac slows down and shows sign of age. Floyd didn't see that in the Rios fight and you know he was glued to the TV watching it. When Mayweather sees that Pac has slowed down, the fight will be made immediately.
