Floyd's I hate Arum excuse is B.S

[The Gambler1981]

floyd and bob made peace years ago and were photographed hanging out together at the superbowl in 2011

it's all just part of the literally hundreds of reasons he comes up with for the fight not happening

if bob died tomorrow he would find some new contract condition to replace it

Just because they were not at each other throat at a Super Bowl party does not mean anything. That does not mean they can actually work together~

It is like being around an ex-wife normally people can be civil if there is nothing at stake, but if those parties actually have to discuss business things will get heated real quick.

we can agree to disagree but I listed other fights as well, as did other posters. The bottom line is Bob has stooped fights from happening.

I will say that Arum lied about the money offered to Cotto to fight at that CW as Cotto said it was the same money as in the first fight. I didn't say Arum was easy to work with but he does not purposefully go out of his way to avoid making money.

Bob delays fights to maximize profits. he's done this time and time again. sometimes it works (like it will for Floyd v pac) and other times it blows up in his face (gamboa/juan ma or pac/Jmm).

This is something widely known. How its a discussion in this thread is puzzling.

flomos: bob is keeping pac away from floyd. bob doesnt want this fight.

Floyd hasn't delayed any fight-only Bob and Manny. To answer your response to Beater of Ass-see the stitches. Bob did that to prevent the biggest fight from happening and it doesn't change the fact he is a greedy, money grubbing scumbag.

Stop justifying it dude. The question was what fights has Bob got in the way of making. He did in this one. You are right, Cotto went to 150 for Margs but not Manny. No different than Manny fighting Clottey at 147 and not Cotto.

Come on Twako.

No, thats different. Pac was coming up to his 7th division. Cotto Otoh was a champ at 154

u dont even wanna believe that LOL!! but i know u gotta do ur part as a floyd fan and pretend so i aint mad at'cha LOL.

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.

You don't have to tell bold face lies to make your point. The Timberwolves offered Spreewell a 3yr/21 Mill contract to which Spreewell said "how am I supposed to feed my family." If a person can't feed their family with 7mil a year something is wrong.
