Is Mayweather Justified In His Refusal To Deal With Arum For The Pacquiao Fight?

People claim to support Manny but instead support the man who is robbing him blind...amazing

Read the bolded part, Arum owes Mayweather money because Mayweather already owed him millions and wasn't paying, so he took what was already he. Arum WANTS a course case to be opened, because it most likely means Mayweather would have to pay Arum the money he is owed regardless, so it won't do anything but cost Mayweather money to open the lawsuit.

Also, you really think if Mayweather had proof of all this or actually wanted his so called 'money' back he wouldn't just sue Arum and win? Or do none of you understand Mayweather doesn't take him to court because he has no leg to stand on if he already owes Arum money.

If he had any evidence of Arum stealing from him he would file a suit in 2 seconds flat...

Arum is a crook.

So is floyd, and no, there is absolutely no justification or need, its just another in an ever growing, ever lamer list of excuses. For a guy supposed to be the best, he sure is doing his best to make boxing look like a joke, a soap opera like wrestling. Pathetic.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Considering he was apparently willing to do business with him in 2009 and 2010 then no it has no justification to now all of a sudden be "the problem" with the fight being made. Just another excuse IMO.

Time is money and Arum was waisting every bodies time. Floyd even hired Schaefer in 09 to negotiate on Floyd's behave because Arum and Haymon can't be in the same room together. And he made them a more than generous offer and they passed. End of thread right there.

I agree but if a man stole from me, sued me, and dragged my nane through mud i wouldnt do business with them at all.

Really? Even if it meant you making $100 million dollars? I'd have a tough time justifying not taking that money...

anybody know what happened to the lawsuit? The link is from 2008.

For me there are more important things than money especially if i already have money and no signs of it stopping

Funny, I've never seen the "I love Bob Arum" thread...nobody gives a fk about Bob Arum.

There's no way Arum was going to let Floyd slap around his best asset and give him 100 mil for doing so. If that were the case than they would've accepted the 50/50 split in 09.

Arum is a ****ing reptile. I hate con artists/snake oil salesmen with a passion. Would you buy into the same scam twice? Hell no. It's completely rational to distance yourself like that.
