Comments Thread For: Ariza: Mayweather is Fighting on 5/2, Not With Pacquiao

[IMDAZED]

So which is it? Were both sides negotiating with the HBO Sports President as a middle man? Or is Ross Greenburg lying?

Networks are always trying to make fights happen. That's what we expect them to do. But the two parties didn't negotiate a fight together (something that's needed) and nothing you say changes that, unfortunately.

All you need to know about Floyd: $40 million flat offer was a clear duck and a slap in the face of the fans...

Showtime/CBS offered Floyd $100 mil guarantee and 60-40 split...he's turning that down to fight Cotto in a pointless rematch...

LOL @ Ariza speaking for Floyd...

Here is the whole interview. The media, Boxingscene loves to take pieces and piece them together. The media is on a mission to do a job on Mayweather's reputation I believe.

can't you just drop a time mark to what you want us to hear? cause I couldn't get past the first 2 minutes of womanly ranting. he's implying there are no negotiations which is complete bull****. what more needs to be said?

BoxingScene didn't twist anying, here, you only need to listen from :53 to 1:23



Ariza says there are no negotiations, floyd is fighting someone else on may 2nd, the fans are being deceived - which is a direct contradiction to what Floyd said on his interview with whoo kid. Bob Arum isn't serious about the fight then, he just has a man crush on Les Moonves.

Ariza also says 'it's the same **** that has been going on the last 4 years' but I guarantee you I could pull up multiple quotes of him saying Floyd is ducking the fight. So which is it? C'mon now, you fl0mos have got stop pulling interviews of a guy you said was a cheat and a liar. Either he's lying or Floyd is lying.

Thanks Alex...Thanks for fkn up the negotiations and getting me out of this fight. Thanks because I need to do whatever it takes to get out of this...If Hbo and Showtime come to an agreement I don't know what the hell im gonna say next to get out of this...

Pacquaio's legacy will be fine, even if his career peters out. It's Mayweather who won't recover from this. His career is done; no-one cares about Cotto 2 and Khan after this farce.

Has there ever been a fighter who created such a toxic atmosphere in the boxing community? Has there ever been a fighter who people have wanted so badly to get out of boxing? (just think about that for a minute).

Pacquaio, meanwhile, will remain beloved, leaving behind a brilliant fightography, full of era-defining fights, even ones he lost in.

The day Floyd retires will be a fresh start for boxing, though his noxious, corrosive influence will linger for a few more years, until the day he is charged again for beating on someone he shouldn't. And this time, his boxing status won't save him.

Pacquiao will be fine. You don't worry about him. Focus on perfecting those vague excuses about Bob Arum stopping this fight happening.

Great post

Floyds a bitch right but he will fight pacquiao. He says timing is everything and I believe he is saving PAC for last. Floyd knows once he's fought pacquiao no one will give a damn about his ass and to stay relevant he's dragged the fight on for 7 years. I believe he'll save the fight for September if it's not this May. Still though he is a smart bitch

[U.O.M.B]

Floyd is my favorite fighter, but if he fights anyone but pacquaio I will be washing ky hands of him. I also predict his ppv career coming to a screeching halt.

I would rather see a cotto vs mayweather pt 2 but only at 154 but it probably will happen at 147.cotto gave mayweather a tough time
