Why doesn't Floyd do business with Bob Arum

[richardt]

You could say the same thing with Bradley vs any GoldenBoy fighter right? Madiana might want a shot at WBO title but can't because Bob Arum wants it "IN HOUSE". So Madiana would have to sign with TOPRANK to get a shot. You really need to see the double standards in your posting.

You're not getting it. There are NO fighters under the TR banner that are refusing to fight a GBP fighter! I am talking about decisions made on the fighters level, not on the TR/GBP level. Floyd is monopolizing control over ANY Welterweight contender under the TR banner, there are NO fighters working under TR that refuse to defend their title against a GBP fighter, any block is on the promoter level, that creates a double impasse by Floyd. It is one thing to just have Schafer in the way or Arum but now a double layer exists because of Floyds decisions, NOT Arum, NOT GBP. Get it? Got it? GOOD!

Through all this silliness year after year, can anyone tell me what incentive did Bob Arum have to match Manny against Floyd? I say this because Bob has shown over and over again that he does not want to make the fight. And why would anyone ask a question like Why doesn't Floyd want to do business with Bob Arum? The last 4 years was not enough proof. What about the 4-5 years before that? The compromise train between those 2 left the station years ago.

And this is what im talking about so just because Floyd called and made pacman offer that means Floyd really wants it and since PAC reject Floyd's offer that means PAC doesn't want it?? So because Floyd won't fight PAC without ost does that mean Floyd doesn't want the fight then? U can't just base ur opinion off 1 person. When Floyd made Manny that offer manny was still pretty much at the top. Why would manny settle for anything less? Sure I agree now that manny will prolly not make that much off 1 fight but when Floyd made manny that offer PAC was still at the top.

All im saying is this.....Golden Boy fighters, tmt fighters, and Floyd etc aren't doing business with Arum. It's not just Floyd who isn't fighting top rank fighters. Look at, manny fighting cotto, clottey, margarito, Bradley...ALL TOP RANK. If the fans want to see manny fight other fighters including Floyd.....ITS UP TO HIM TO LEAVE...there's a lot of fights he could make if he just left after contract. Those that disagree or can't understand that just don't want to understand it..

Like I said before. If Pac's on that roster, fahgettaboutit.

And vice verse, what does that have to do with anything? So Floyd and his team make it a double layer. What does HBO's decision to not work with GB do? Is that a triple layer? Or is Floyd's decision the triple layer. I never heard Showtime state they would not work with TR. See, you have chosen a side, and with choosing that side are not making any sense. TR is not working with GB and vice verse. HBO is not working with GB. What does FMJ have to do with that? Maidana fighting Bradley has nothing to do with FMJ or his team.

Wrong. I despise both Arum and Schafer and if you would have read my prior posts, you would know that but if both sides finally agreed to work together, and the networks, Mayweather would still resist Arum which means he would be monopolizing the opportunities of TR Welterweight contenders. Simple as that.

See what i did? Floyd as a fighter is not refusing any TR welter on a fighter level.
THE ONLY THING FLOYD IS REFUSING IS ARUM!!! NOT Bradley Nor PacMan

Arum will refuse a Goldenboy fighter getting a titleshot unless the Join his House.

Monopoly ??? stop it i LOL'ed.

I'll make it easy for you. Floyd is the ONLY fighter in the world who is unwilling to fight fighters from a specific promotional company. There are NO other fighters who have said they will not work with Arum, GBP, or any other promotional company. Floyd is the only one. Not that difficult of a concept to grasp, really. If Bradley was mandatory right now, Bradley would be denied a fight. Simple!

It doesn't matter because at the end of the day GBP fighters can't fight TR fighters even if they want to. Look at the Donaire/Mares fiasco.
