This right here. Arum and Manny should shut up to, Arum and Scaefer both said negotiating in the media really ruined that fight as much as testing. Floyd might have learned the lesson, Arum's old ass hasn't.

Arum is saying enough excuses, after Manny fights Vargas we are available.

All pun aside I don't think they can get the fight in May if they negotiate after Xmas.

How many of you people have ever signed a contract? Obviously you never have because CBS has 800 million lawyers to COVER their ass from any loss. Seriously, Floyd can't even read and you think he's smarter than a 50+ year multi-billion dollar corporation? Of course they can make Floyd fight who they want to, because he hasn't been bringing in the money. I don't know the clause but it has to with the service you provided and what you provided.

It's like getting a new house built and you have everything you want in it. Except... the toilets don't flush, the sinks don't run, low water pressure, AC isn't working... Well yes, you paid for all those things and got them, but they aren't working. The person who installed that is at fault not you because you were expecting them to work.

This is no different than Floyd. Yes, they have him on showtime. Yes he is fighting twice a year. They are paying Floyd his $32 million... but, he isn't given them the PPV buys they were expecting. So, it's on Floyd to fix it and the way is to fight Manny or at least someone who has headlined a PPV at least to make SOME money for CBS. Since he hasn't been doing that CBS 100% has the right to say fight this guy because we know we'll make the money we expected when he signed the contract as you did. But... accountability is probably something you never heard of or know the meaning of even.

Floyd is smart enough to hire Al Haymon, who does know contracts. You don't know me. I signed a contract once, and fulfilled it for 21 in the U.S. Navy. You're preaching accountability to the wrong guy kid! Manny is the biggest fight, but not the only fight, and trust me, Manny needs Floyd way more than Floyd needs Manny. Everyone is saying pressure needs to be on Floyd, but someone needs to put the pressure on Arum to step aside and let this fight happen.

The point that I making is that they are very comparable in net worth. He said that he was a Billionaire and I was refuting that and saying that Floyd is worth as much or more...THAT'S IT! There was nothing else implied. You are reading WAYYYYY to much into it. If I wanted to say that, then I would say exactly that! How is it u know that I was trying to say that and I don't?

so if they are really comparable then whats ur point on why is arum talking to les moonves if both floyd and him are really comparable in net worth? i just dont get it, if they're very comparable in net worth then why make such a comment then?

It sounds to me if Arum isn't involved the fight won't happen at all. Arum has been involved in some very, very big fights in history, a lot more than Floyd or Haymon ever had. Floyd should put his big boy pants on and just learn to play wtih others sometimes and realize people love money just as much as him.

So two black guys are supposed to fight in Mexico is now your defense to that argument? You seriously had to go out of the country... Think about a temporary stadium, in Las Vegas no less. You have casino bathrooms that look better than my living and you want a temporary stadium with port-o-potty's instead. My man, the 80's was 30 years ago times have changed stadiums are not the same anymore, you need luxury suites, restaurants and all kinds of entertainment to allure the whales. The biggest fight in history being held in a circus tent... seriously you are okay with that?

dont try that **** with me

"Name a stadium that held 45k people at the time?" that was your statement. I gave you my reply about chavez having an attendance record of over 100k people. Either way, what makes more money, 15k or 45-50k attendance?

So Floyd does have a boss!

They had 5 or 6 years. They should be able to come up with something.
