    If arum doesnt negotiate with floyd after the JMM v PAC fight, then its obvious that arum is the roadblock.

    On the down low? How the **** is any of this by Team Floyd on the down low. WTH are you smoking?

    If it was on the down low... this thread wouldn't exist.

    Team Pocahontas really don't want this fight. Floyd would probably laugh in Arum face once he beat Pocahontas....lol And Arum can't have that.

    last i heard floyd said that he didn't know he's fighting pacquiao on may 5.

    ....and before that, he told a reporter not to put words in his mouth, he never said pacquiao is next.

    like arum said, if floyd is serious about making this fight, he can just tell haymon or ellerbe to make the call to Todd who does the actual negotiation for Pac.

    thanks for proving what I said. Arum never contacted team Mayweather (Ellerbe, Haymon, Floyd)

    maybe he's waiting until after Pacquiao wins like he did with Cotto. Floyd's ppl called to set up negotiations 2 hours after Pac/Cotto

    Arum is right! Pacquiao is a very busy man. He has a big fight coming up. He has his duties in Congress. He has Bradley lined up for April. There is simply no time to entertain Floyd's nonsense. How dare Arum's former employee book a date and time, with intentions to face his cash cow, and NOT speak to Arum first. Really...WTF!? Besides, Arum has already confirmed that Floyd meant he was fighting ERIK MORALES (aka "the little guy") on May 5. It all makes sense, since it's Cinco De Mayo. You can't bull**** a bullshitter. Nice try Floyd.

    But the WERE contacted. They lied about it later. Pretty much proven fact now. Did they contact them directly? No. HBO insisted on being the mediator. Were they contacted on behalf of Arum/TopRank? All the world knows they were inspite of the Mayweather's denial. Quite trying to be cute. You suck at it.

    You guys wanna get this straight? Did Floyd claim Pac is next or not. Settle this amongst yourselves before continuing and if you decide it is Pac, please provide a link to where Floyd said it.

    dummy, use some common sense.

    its negotiation first then choose the time and place.

    not the other way around like FLoyd is doing now.

    So Arum and team Pacquiao knows this is just a publicity stunt.

    Therefore no need to take Floyd seriously at this moment.

    now you know....so STFU

    YOUR question is simple!


    because pac still has marquez to fight!

    floyd: we are going to fight the little fella come may 5th in MSG

    is that a negotiation? floyd is just talking out of his ass! if you want to fight, call TR and negotiate!

    What a shitty way of negotiating :lol:
    I wouldn't even call that negotiating, but I'm not going to go down that route :nut

    Plus why would Floyd call them now? I bet you it won't take a day after Manny beats Marquez for negotiations to start :deal


    was it a publicity stunt when Arum did it in May 2010 :huh
