Haymon getting desperate for dates

It's not that Arum wouldn't participate, he just wouldn't give Floyd the guarantee he was asking for. Didn't Floyd end up taking much less than he asked from Arum, in guaranteed money?

no it is arum wouldn't participate. he clearly said he wanted no part in that. arum has admitted that he made mistakes with floyd.

Buying his own airtime? Networks just do not **** with the sport of boxing. Horrible look.

ESPN and FS1 have boxing on quite frequently. FS1 Does alot of the smaller GBP fights. At least from what i have seen on there.

I know he made mistakes and underestimated his star potential. Look at the buyout. But pretty sure Floyd asked for a 20m guarantee for Oscar, which was the sticking point. Ended up accepting 10m or so.

Arum said Mayweather also asked for $20 million to fight De La Hoya, a fight Arum said he wasn't interested in participating in.

"That's not in the cards," Arum said. "He wants $20 million for the De La Hoya fight? It's not there. Sometimes, my man, you gotta know when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. We'll talk about things down the road."

Thanks for proving my point dude

How did this become another Mayweather vs Arum thread? Can't you guys do this by emailing each other?

It says "Haymon getting desperate for dates." Why? Is this even true? Are details not a part of reporting news nowadays, or speculations are normally taken for facts?

GBP/Haymon aren't 'buying' the airtime though.

[BattleAxePurist]

That doesn't even count, that counts towards commercial time. That crap that's shown in the wee hours of the night?

Buying Primetime slots? On what channel? CBS? NBC? ABC? ESPN? TNT? Yeah right. That's only a dream! You're not doing that on ANY major network.

Which was the joke of it

Seems normal to buy airtime. What's the fuss about it?
