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

[KnockoutKings]

Meeting with the CEO of CBS couldn't hurt. They are the ones cutting the checks for Floyd on this deal. Weren't they the ones pushing for the Canelo fight to recoup the loses of the Guerrero fight?

Promoters talk to promoters. Floyd is own promoter. Bob is trying to do everything he can to NOT acknowledge Floyd like he's a promoter, but it won't work. He can call Oscar, Espinoza, CBS, whoever, but in the end Arum NEEDS Floyd, but Floyd does NOT NEED Arum. Arum better start begging Cotto not to negotiate with Floyd for Cinco de Mayo. I hope Cotto does! 2 ex-TR fighters co-promoting their own mega-fight in NYC...Arum's nightmare! It would be truly historic!

So floyd signs his own checks? Funny I thought it was ODH signature on that shiiit

Arum winding everyone up. Don't buy into the hype people, this fight WILL NOT HAPPEN!

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!

We all know Floyd's track record on goalpost shifting, which is why he's become the butt of jokes

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

Maybe Les Moonves can be the mediator between the Camps

Basically you need someone of at least as much clout as Moonves to get Arum and Haymon to actually sit down at the same table. Still even for the CEO of CBS that sort of thing takes time to make happen as neither side wants to look like they have their ass hanging out.

I think he will be able to get those guys to the water but he can't make them drink~ so we will see if those guys can work out a deal which is tough to see but not impossible because both sides are big players that have things the other could use in tradeoff.

That is the hardest part, Floyd is a jackass but he loves money which means he inherently has a price. It would he insanely high but a number the CEO of CBS could easily cut a check for (company check of course).

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.

you made good points until the last paragraph. They have an out clause-if Floyd wasn't meeting expectations they'd exercise the out. It's ok to speculate they are not happy, but they have made no indication they are parting ways and he has 2 fights and $70 mil or so guaranteed.

why would they pay him that if the deal is no longer profitable.

Why would Greenberg lie about this? While being beholden to GBP and eventually fired for it. But you'd rather believe Schaefer lololol
