    Floyd's I hate Arum excuse is B.S

    For the past few years we've seen Floyd now go on about how he hates Arum and wont fight Pac so long as he's affiliated with Bob Arum. I call b.s and here's why.

    Floyd Jr also does not get along with nor like Oscar Dela Hoya, yet has continued to do business with him for years! Floyd fans will say that Floyd doesn't want to let Bob make money off of him yet seem to forget that since 2009 Oscar (the guy that Floyd hates) has been making money off of Floyd every single time he fights.

    Floyd likes to boast about how he made a $40mil offer to Pac a few years ago. Where was the hate for Arum then? Why was he willing to do business with Arum then and not now? Where was the hate for Arum when he proudly posed for a pic with Arum and Jamie Fox just 3yrs ago during the superbowl?

    Are we to believe that Floyd only does business with people whom he gets along with and likes? When have we ever seen an instance when a fighter refuses to fight someone based upon who their promoter is? This has to be the lamest excuse in boxing.

    Floyd is claiming a white *** was holding the black man down. That's really all you need to say and you'll instantly have a sea of people on your side and it has nothing to do with race. Anyone who feels like someone was in a position of power and used that leverage against them would feel slighted.

    That being said Floyd saying those things are dumb, ignorant and juvenile like everything else he says. It's equivalent to when, I think it was Latree Spreewell who got a $100 million contract and said he was making slave wages. Everyone else would be appreciative that they are part of the 1% and their job is shoot hoops 3 times a week.

        Bob Arum and ODH used to do business together. Then they didn't. Now they do. CBS President Moonves used to work with Arum and now says he doesn't want to work with the devil. Why is it an issue only when Floyd says he doesn't want to work with Arum?

                So people used to do business with Arum and end up doing it again... why? Because while he may be a pain in the ass he obviously gets the job done, it's pretty much as simple as that.

                  LOL why would it matter when he said it? The statement speaks for itself.
