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

[jwheels9876]

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

Well yeah now with his contract with showtime, why bother when you can fight guys like Khan for $40 million..

Both sides have said things they went back on. Both sides have built-in B.S. excuses. Both sides have had ready made and up to the last second reasons why to not make the fight? None are justifiable. However, if we're justifying one side, we might as well do the same for the other part of this entire clusterfuck


Arum being a reason is understandable for the way he's dodged the fight over the years. For delays, to statements, to demands, backtracking etc etc. And yes, it's vice versa. So if you justify one side, you can sure as hell justify this reason as well

A 40 million dollar offer is bull*****? You guys have some set of balls. If Floyd offered Manny 40 million now he'd slap his mama to sign the contract.

He offered him $40 and how much was he going to make???
And I said it was bull**** because it wasn't a real offer, Floyd never wanted to fight him because he doesn't wanna do business with Bob. So that offer was a bull**** offer. It was meant to get turned down.

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

And theres no way he would have made 100 million. Arum started that

His ducking isn't justified, No.

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

This. If you really support Pacman then Arum is the biggest POS imaginable.

What Floyd makes should not be Mannys concern. He's a fighter not a promoter. Financially he's not invested at all. Floyd was offering up 40 million guaranteed (bare minimum). And it took Manny all of two seconds to pass. And you think he really wanted the fight and Floyd didn't? Let me know when ever another fighter comes around and offers up 40 mil. Hell at the time Floyd wasn't even getting 40 million guaranteed. And to just snub his nose at it like he's god all mighty. Personally I'm glad Mannys broke now. Serves him right.

Pacquiao gets $40 and Floyd woulda made double that when everything was done with.
