      We can't just let them get away with this garbage while we give them our money.

      Maybe if we boycotted back in 2009 instead of riding our favorite fighter's ****, it would have already happened.
      Man I haven't bought one of their fights since 2011.... I'm slowly being converted to UFC by friends and I don't want that....

        Didn't you just post this:
        "There is no way, on God's green earth, that a company like Showtime would hand that contract to Will Smith, let alone Floyd Mayweather. None. Zero. Zilch. And if Dan said that then Bob Arum probably told him that."

        ???

        haha wow that's a huge change in about 5 minutes..... Where did the confidence go?

        Just for the record i will be getting the information.
        Ok Flash, we'll be waiting for the reliable source(s), stating that Showtime has entered into a multi-million deal with Floyd Mayweather, with no opt-out clause excepting if he loses. Think about it; you're essentially saying that Floyd could announce that he is going to fight an undefeated amateur on PPV. Despite the obvious potential for a fight like that to flop, resulting in millions lost, Showtime would be forced to air it- because they have no opt-out provision in their contract. Ridiculous.

          No, because in the contract they have pre-agreed upon fighters that floyd can select. So no Floyd cannot just select anyone. If they did have an opt out clause, don't you think they would enforce it when floyd ducks. I mean c'mon, they realize what the ppv #'s are going to look like after this goes down.

          Edit: I'm not copping out of getting the info, it will take a few days but i will gather it.

            Arum doesn't want the fight because ARIZA says so!!!!! Some of you were killing Pacquiao for having Ariza in his corner now that he's with Floyd he's credible SMDH!!!!!

            So is Floyd definately on steroids now because Ariza is with him? People sure were convinced of that when he was with Pacquiao!!!! The level of bias is LAUGHABLE!!!!!!!

              People were su****ious of Pacquiao because he refused random testing, not cuz he was with Ariza. The fight would have happened a while ago if that wasn't the case.

                Not if the contract doesn't stipulate who Mayweather must fight. Also, an opt-out clause would include provisions for when and under what circumstances it could be exercised. Still waiting for that reliable source to support your statement that Showtime has no opt-out clause. Take your time, I'll wait.

                    I'm just trying to figure out why some of you people just make up **** out of thin air. Can you back up anything you said with facts? You're gathering info? From where? Noone knows the specific of Mayweathers contract except mayweather and showtime, both of which haven't specified the contract.

                      Don't blame Pac, they've done all they can

                      People are just running with the anti ***ish conspiracy theories with Bob Arum.
