Comments Thread For: Roach: CBS CEO Said He Can Deliver Floyd Mayweather

That was the most excited I have been. Man I remember that feeling.......and then the disappointment of Floyd going back on his word.

I wonder though, how come no hardcore Floyd fans ever acknowledge that incident at all??? What was their reasoning for that? Has any Floyd fan ever commented on that incident? Floyd clearly lied about saying he wants Pac next. Did the Floyd fanatics conveniently forget about that incident???

Then a week before fight night, Floyd would announced he got an accident in training camp!

When he doesn't, you will start making excuses in advance for a Pacquaio loss.

EVERYBODY can do their part, as long as Floyd doesn't want the fight, it will not happen. You can't drag him across the floor all the way to the ring, as much as I would love to while kicking him in the ribs. But it's just not realistic.

this...................

Good to see we have some smart fans about the place. Believe Floyd will step into that ring only when it happens. Even then, I believe pops would mess up the fight if Pacquiao is destroying him.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Not a fanatic, but no, I didn't forget it. I wonder why everyone seems to forget what Floyd did AFTER that!! Got is jail sentence postponed and called Pac to make the fight, only to have Pac not even bother trying to negotiate. It's not about words it's about ACTIONS!

Maybe they weren't anticipating Floyd would be available and had another fight already planned?

Actually they were trying to build a new stadium.

Funny, you always seem to have an excuse already prepared when it comes to Pac and team.

Moments after Mayweather was granted the continuance, Arum changed his tune.

"We're fighting in June, one of the four guys," Arum told me over the phone.

I asked him, now that Mayweather was available, would he at least be part of the conversation when Arum meets with Pacquiao next week?

A perturbed Arum's response was, "Absolutely not. Nope."

Come again? You won't even talk about it with Pacquiao, I asked very politely.

"My mission is to go over to the Philippines and talk about these four guys," Arum said. "If Manny feels he wants to go in May, he will tell me. I want to make sure Manny's cuts are healed. We won't fall under this kind of pressure. June is much more likely for Manny's fight, not May."

So May was a real possibility yesterday, but now there's no way?
