    Man, he can't. He got outsmarted this time and I loved watching it. Showtime and Mayweather played the media game very well. All that "we're not going to negotiate through the media." They didn't...but they met Arum step for step on his BS. If this fight doesn't happen...believe me, we will see why.
    Arum is trippin'. He ain't got nothin on ma main man Al Haymon.

      Should be the same for Floyd but he wants to protect his 0.

        ****, he's been trying. But this time, both fighters aren't on the same network, forcing that network to play neutral or cater to him. Showtime will air him out. Further, I think Manny knows what's up. He's going to want his promoter to see this thing through.

          Fixed for you. Yes, Floyd-Pac is bigger but...really? Very little?

            now the old man is stuck in limbo playing this ****** waiting game...
            No, he wouldn't have. The deadline was built upon the lie that Mayweather just needed to sign a contract; when that lie was exposed, the heat transferred to Top Rank Which would prevent him riding off on the high horse.

              i think u're looking into the whole bob/floyd hates eachother thing too much. if manny loses to floyd, will there be any jealousy? of course! bob would want his fighter to win, who wouldnt? but this whole bob would rather die blah blah blah is just too much LOL.

                Hasn't that line gotten old and as disproved as Manny being on PED's? we know Manny walked away from the fight at first just as we know Floyd apologized in court.

                Time to bury that ******ed line of thinking with Bert Sugar who 1st floated it.

                  DAZED, even if Floyd/Showtime/Haymon came out and admitted that they dont want the fight, you would pin it on Arum


                  seriously, screw this fight..it's off my radar
