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

[5.4ever]

So these guys should just fight for free with no regard for livelihood or principles. Whether you as a "true fan" don't care for the business aspect of "prize fighting" doesn't change the fact that it's a business. Put yourself in Floyd's situation. Would you work with Arum again?

Youre a blind ****ing fanboy. I never said anyone should fight for free. Thats what I hate about fanboys, they depict every word until they flip things and attack

All I said was FMJ is too concerned with who gets money, other than him..

He souldve been fair and offered 50/50 or 55/45 him winning 55 and NOT put up any road blocks... thats it... Its obvious by now that if you dont see this, you never will..

[Outwest Exp 355]

You dont see a glaring conflict of interest there?... And how much 'promoting' of the fight do you think Floyd would be doing over and above what his opponent has to do. Talk about guaranteeing yourself a built in, readymade excuse. Man, its pathetic...Floyd doesnt do any promoting either, golden boy does that.

Every time the guy opens his mouth it trends world wide. I call that promoting. As I said before Mannys not writing any checks so what Floyd makes shouldn't be his main concern. In 2009 Manny passed on a 50/50 split. Face it the man doesn't want the fight. Now if I were Floyd I'd let him and Arum starve.

I'm starting to think you might be a bit 'simple'

[RINGG]

Arum is just an excuse not to fight Pacquiao. Excuse #27!

Every time Mayweather comes up with another reason not to fight someone, everybody seems to forget all the other reasons throughout his career.

Floyd is to mayweather promo as Oscar is to gbp. He personally doesn't have a liscense but still looked at as the "promoter". When you look on boxrec for a gbp card it says Richard Schaefer. For a tmt card it says Ellerbe

Never knew that. So he is the figurehead? Thanks for the info.

[Chrismart]

Justifiable? Na..more of a convenient excuse.
Floyd should of just used the whole Arum thing in 09..we wouldn't have had to put up with year after year of pointless 'fight' talk then.

[Daddy T]

Is there any excuse for avoiding the fight floyd could give that his fanboys wouldn't support?

few years ago asking for testing was considered a duck, now if you decline testing youre called a cheater
