    Unbiased people will say that excuse is lame whoever says it but the flows will always defend him no matter what ****** excuse, something so petty as Bob Arum, yet Floyd did business with a man who was way worse and more insulting and condescending in Oscar de la hoya.

    Larry Hazard the commissioner of the new jersey boxing even said that excuse is lame

    If the reason Mayweather doesn't want to work with Arum is because he just dont want to work with him out of spite vs it being legitimately difficult to work with Arum. Then yes it is a lame excuse and an utter disgrace.

    Youre forgetting though how much Arum attacks Al Haymon and claiming he doesn't want to work with him. How can you make a fight with Mayweather without Haymon?

      Its a lame excuse dude stop trying to justify ****** petty **** its like you are down on your cards and need a way to justify his avoidance.

      I dont give a **** who said it, whoever says that unless Arum killed one of his family members or ****d one I dont see it as a viable reason especailly after the first negatiotion he had no problem with Arum, and has even thanked hiim and hugged the man in person just last year alone.

      It seems more like Haymon saying to Floyd not to work with Arum.

      Floyd is a puppet and he is not his own boss that is why I laugh at his fans who say he is his own boss, really? the guy can't even read well and can barely pronounce the word ask he says Ax instead.

      Both Floyd and Manny have a boss, and Arum is a scapegoat and any unbias Man will laugh at Floyds reasoning especially since he worked with OScar de la hoya who literally despises Floyd and vice versa.

      In business people bite their tongue and put differences aside, I am curious why Floyd is so vague even Arum said someone should ask him and press him until he gives a clear answer why he won't work wtih me. Floyd can;t its like he was coached by Haymon on the ways of being vague answering without answering.

        it would be all on ESPN.

        I don't see any boxing reporters saying the fight is off.
        Not really. It can take days, weeks, or more to either finalize and sign or call it off. Floyd is though being very negative. This has been reported and confirmed by Floyd and Ariza. Also they are losing the PR campaign and need to come up with a plan to reverse that. Maybe that was what Khan/Floyd was trying to do but it backfired on them.

        Plus, we don't know if Floyd is also discussing with other opponents. Floyd may call out another name when it becomes finalized. Like last year he left Amir Khan hanging for a while until it was announced that Floyd was fighting Maidana instead.
