I dont believe it. "floyd doesnt fight outside las vegas doe"

[Sheppirino]

Even with all that money being thrown on the table I don't see Floyd taking the bait. Maybe Arum since he's willing to throw a good fight outside the U.S. But not little Floyd. Anyway, until both fighters announce the fight, have the press tour and are standing at opposite ends of each other in the ring I will not get my hopes up anymore.

[NOI]

Funny, I received this same sort of spam last year. Something about a Nigerian prince and long lost cousins. Bottom line if they offered me a whole bunch of money.

Why does it matter where he fights? Fans shouldn't be concerned where fighters fight. Never any controversy with his fights except when he almost got robbed in the Canelo fight.

The canelo score card was bogus but it was actually just general question. I was curious to see if he's actually fought outside of Vegas before. I guess I'll Google it.

Floyd say's he doesn't fight for championships or legacy he only fights for that check.

His latest response to Pacquiao came via video post showing Manny getting knocked out over and over.

Hey Floyd if you only fight for that check it doesn't matter how many times Manny has been KO'd because regardless the money (record breaking money) way more money than you can get fighting anyone else is in place.

You say you fight for that check..well ain't no bigger check than Pacquiao no matter if he got knocked out 1 or 100 times!

[g-wane]

NOPE.

The walls are crumbling around Floyd, he's being exposed as a blood doper as of recent, with USADA's credibility crumbling as well.

Accepting this fight in UAE would spell disaster for him.

Floyd, you mean Pac !! This offer is to pac and pac only, there is no mention of ™ being part of the business deal.. You forget Arum is ***ish, this guys is obviously ******.

It seems that I'm not the only one who hates Arum:

Freddie Roach Put Pacquiao-Mayweather Talks in Motion

November 23, 2014:

Few tell Mayweather what to do, but Moonves’ prior lucrative backing has to count for something if the executive feels compelled to ask Mayweather to give the Pacquiao fight stronger consideration than he ever has.

Sources close to Mayweather have said the unbeaten fighter has never wanted the Pacquiao bout more than he does now.

Pacquiao is pushing for the bout, from his new Foot Locker ad to his bending in purse-split percentages. He told The Times Friday he’s willing to accept the fight at terms the Mayweather side has told The Times will be required to make the fight happen.

Following a Pacquiao-Algieri worldwide publicity tour, Roach said he urged Moonves to meet with Arum at the promoter’s Beverly Hills home.

“They didn’t like each other,” Roach said of a strain that dated to Pacquiao’s return to HBO after fighting one bout on Showtime in 2011. “Bob promised [Moonves] three fights … and only gave him one. … [Moonves] actually told me, ‘I’m not dealing with the devil.’ ”

“I kind of sneakily put them together, about four months ago. I knew it was risky. … [Moonves] wanted to make the fight without Bob and I said, ‘That’s not going to happen, you’ve got to bring him in.’ They walked out of that meeting with their arms around each other, happy.”

Let's hope this is it!

damn why nobody wrote about this on this site?

[Trayhezy]

I dont see the big incentive here for Floyd.

All offers seem to be showing him making 9 figures so why should he fight halfway around the world for the same thing he could make in America.?
