If Floyd was to make the same exact references about Arum regarding Hitler and the ****s, Bob Arum being ***ish would accuse Floyd of anti-semitism and of course mainstream media will jump in to support poor Uncle Bob the douche-bag for obvious reasons.

Absolutely.

[umop-ap!sdn]

Go figure... a *** using Hitler's name in an insulting way.

[Gary Coleman]

And people expect Mayweather to work with the guy. He trashes Mayweather every chance he gets

Exactly.

They're strengthening the divide. Bad part is, they know it. Arum and Pacquiao are just fine with the situation the way that it is. Don't let them fool you.

Spiteful as Floyd is, he's not going to give Pacquiao or Arum the satisfaction of making $50+ million off his name.

It has never been more evident than it is now, this fight will never happen! Take that to the bank.

I've made the necessary ********* to Godwin's Law - "As a discussion involving Bob Arum grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving ****s or Hitler approaches."

It's the comparison that kills conversations ,and the little that's left of Bob's credibility.

Bob is becoming desperate. Between the comparison to Hitler and the Floyd does not like fighting southpaws.... He's getting desperate. I think 2 of Floyd's last 3 opponents were southpaws....

Now what I'm going to say next will open up the flood gates for Red Ks and a bunch of bias trash talking, but oh well.

1 - Floyd agreed to all of TR/Pac's demands in the 1st negotiation. Floyd's only demand was OST up to the day of the fight. TR/Pac said no. Fight was not made.
2 - GBP/TMT attempted to negotiate the fight via a mediator. TR said no.
3 - Pac's contract was up with TR, Floyd calls and makes a flat fee offer (no matter how insulting you may feel the offer was, Floyd reached out to Manny). Pac says no without even attempting to negotiate what he wants. Then he re-signs with TR.
* - We all know how Manny feels about OST now

Forget about all the BS propaganda, Mr. Bob Arum is the roadblock.

People seem to forget, Manny is not the draw he was before the last Marquez fight. Why does Floyd need to call him. It should be the other way around without an argument at this point.

All you hear from Arum is "Floyd does not want to fight Manny" but you don't hear Bob talking about "I contacted TMT or GBP trying to negotiate this fight." TR/Pac are the B side in this fight, strong, currently. This is undeniable.

Look, Floyd left Arum because he felt he was not being treated fairly. Bob has been on record while he promoted Floyd shading him like he does Rigo. Floyd leaves TR and shows Bob, I am who you have said I'm not (financially/drawing power).

To the credit of Manny and Floyd, none of us know what exactly took place during the 1st negotiation because none of us were sitting at the table. But based on everything that has occurred since, if you apply some logic (not feelings) to this situation, there had to be something Bob did to remind Floyd of the treatment he received while he was with TR for him to say I won't work with/ deal with/ negotiate with Bob Arum.

I hope this fight can be made someday just to put an end to all of the who would win posts, all of the name calling, and all of the other nonsense BS that comes with it.

Rob Arum's the resurrection of Adolf Hitler... HA HA HA HA

The 40 million dollar offer was in a direct response to Manny saying he'll fight for less money. After that offer was made Manny recanted and asked for 50-50. Additionally the Top Rank concern was that they would not see a dime from the fight as that 40 million was to be wired directly into Manny's bank account, bypassing Top Rank.
