Comments Thread For: Arum, CBS CEO Set Meeting on Mayweather-Pacquiao

[HeroBando]

? What can the CBS CEO do? Shouldn't he be meeting with Haymon?

Maybe Les Moonves can be the mediator between the Camps

He cuts Floyd's checks so you'd hope he could do something.

Arum is talking to Les Moonves, who isn't a Billionaire. Floyd is possibly worth as much or more than he is.

IDK about this Megadeath. Moonves is the CEO of the #1 TV network in the US. He is Floyd's employer. I tend to think he is worth more than Floyd.

Either way, his getting involved means the deal arum gets is the deal. He either takes it or leaves it.

oh boy here we go again smh

Mayweather may not want to meet with Arum but how is Arum going to get traction on a potential fight by him meeting with a bunch of people, not one of them named Floyd Mayweather, duh. That's what I don't like about Arum. He tries to galvanize everyone but the person that matters the most.

Exactly lol. Arum loves blowing smoke up peoples ass and fooling the fans

So you are a doctor? and an outdoor stadium is an idea out of this world?

Actually, nowadays due to safety regulations and various engineering requirements temporary stadiums exceeding around 19,000 capacity begin to jump up in cost dramatically. Just look a quick look at the costs of temporary structures for the past few Olympics as well as what Qatar and Russia are having to spend in preparation for the World Cups it becomes pretty clear that the cost of an 80,000+ capacity stadium on or right off of the Vegas strip is unrealistic. It's not the 1920's where you can just build whatever the hell you want and just pile people on without regard for fire and safety code.

Another misinformed tool who thinks Floyd is his own boss. He wasn't his own boss the second he signed a contract with Showtime and he really ****ed himself when he left Oscar. Why?

1. Haymon isn't a promoter according to you guys, so he can't pay Floyd.
2. Floyd can't pay himsef $32 million in order to fight for Showtime, so who do you think is paying him?
3. If you sign a contract for performing a service, both sides have to get what they agreed to.
4. Showtime didn't sign Floyd without a minimum numbers of buys and/or dollar amount per fight. If Floyd isn't meeting that up to this point (which I can promise you he isn't based off buys) CBS can make him fight whoever or cancel the contract and just not pay him.

All that being said do you really think Showtime is going to be okay with 3 PPV's under a million and one really good draw? The answer is of course not, they didn't get into this with Floyd by Floyd saying "I'm the biggest draw, ever, my name is MONEY. You guys will break even when you sign me." Of course not, Floyd said if you sign me I'll make you even richer... that hasn't happened and Showtime (his daddies) are letting him now the easy ride is over.

thats what the fans confuse about it tho. Ive heard before the same tho that they said manny wanted the 14 day cut off, which is not true floyd is the one that requested it. When manny wanted the 24 day, floyd said no 14 days. That went on toward the mediation, where floyd wouldn't budge from his 14 days. Then not even a week later, he changed his mind to testing up to the fight.

I never knew that Manny rejected the 14 day offer too. If I was Floyd, I would have done the same thing. 1st, why do you need a cut-off? 2nd, why do you need 24 fuc*ing days? 3rd, I compromise to 14, and you still reject it..."**** you!" After the 1st negotiations that we're just talking about, then rejecting him before he went to jail, I wouldn't offer Manny ****! Keep fighting Algeri, Vargas, etc. Good luck with that!

Um, no. They both need each other, it's pretty obvious though I will say Floyd is in a better position in terms of a back up plan.

Seriously... you're an idiot. People look at Floyd and think he has money compared to what a white guy in this country has. Like Chris Rock said Shaq is rich, Bill Gates is WEALTHY and there is a huge difference in those terms. This guy makes 70 million a year and that's in salary, not counting what he does with stocks, savings accounts, 401k's and all the ways to make money without actually working. Who are you to even say this guy isn't rich like Floyd while you work at McDonalds? seriously don't reply with dumb **** please. We have enough Brushmyhairs in this place.
