Bob Arum: I Have No Dislike For Floyd! Just Haymon!

[FMJ The Best]

Top Rank chairman Bob Arum said he’s not interested in negotiating a deal with Mayweather because of his distrust for his agent Al Haymon. Arum and Haymon had a falling out after they failed to arrange a fight between Paul Williams and Kelly Pavlik. Arum accused Haymon of wrong-doing and called him “a Machiavellian SOB.”

“I have no dislike for Floyd whatsoever,” said Arum. “That’s not a factor. But negotiations have to be with somebody I trust. I don’t want to deal with any sleazebags.”




My question is this.
Is this just him positioning himself to deal better with Floyd?

[S.G.]

all signs are pointing towards Arum ****ing this fight up

> "Pacquiao won't accept less than 60%"
> refusing to deal with Floyd's agent. Demanding he compromises his team to even even begin negotiations
> lying about the PPV numbers to trick his way into holding the cards
> already talking and making assumptions about Mayweather pricing himself out (gearing it so Mayweather will take the brunt of the blame when/if it falls apart)

Let's just hope the public demand is so high that both sides will be more willing to compromise. There's more than money on the line this time
