    That's what I think anyway, I don't think Mayweather Promotions is capable of handeling a fight of such magnitude.

    Not w/o a promoters license. Speaking of, why does he have this so-called 'Promotional company" yet can't even promote? :huh Ego thing maybe?

    Dude you have become a ******* and a bias ass poster. I hate to say it but it is true. First of all GBP booked the MGM on Floyd's behalf for May 5th just like another poster said earlier. That means they are going to be promoting his next fight. Second Arum even stated that Haymon and Ellerbe might not be involved as well. GBP and Ellerbe contacted Top Rank just a week ago to start negotiations as well and got turned away.

    Now please tell me why Mayweather said he was ready for the fight and GBP contacted Top Rank on his behalf if Floyd wasn't going to use them?

    Yeah maybe you are right, its a pretty smart move by arum then, floyd isnt experienced enough to handle such a big fight playing copromoter and worrying about the fight.
    Also I want to see gbp/tr undercard fights so I hope gbp is included in this.

    Ya Lance I remember you saying something similar in the past


    This was about Arum saying Floyd turned down 65 million and you implied Arum didn't make up an elaborate lie. Well guess what? Arum did make it up you dumbass

    Its not that im being biased now I guess I was just wrong because I ddint see a problem with it thinking floyd was his own man and didnt need gbp, arcane's point about the fight being to big to handle alone is probably true.
    Haymon and Ellerbe needs to be involved for sure, they are part of team mayweather.

    Basically. Arum even said that Haymon and Ellerbe might not be involved and guys like Lance and Borgia think its okay. Arum is using this **** as a ploy to duck out on the fight so that he can make the Marquez fight and blame Floyd for not taking a 1billion dollar offer from investors. :lol:

    They are a part of the TEAM and Arum has stated that they may not be involved as well. Arum is looking for a way out of making this fight Cesare. GBP booked the MGM for Floyd and contacted TOP Rank to start negotiations. Those are facts. Now what is stopping them from negotiation bc it sure as hell isn't Team Mayweather and GBP?

    :huh For ****'s sake. Do you understand WHY I think it's OK? It's because I'm pretty sure Floyd wouldn't sign anything that he didn't have his people look over first. You're the one who thinks Floyd can't EVER fight again w/o GBP on his side.:roll:

    You're one of the few i've been able to have a convo with on this forum. But lets use our brains and think about this.

    Arum said he sent Koncz and "the investors" to meet floyd at the gym. Then when they got there ROGER MAYWEATHER conducted the meeting(. Do you believe Arum when he's saying stuff like this?

    Im not blaming them though, I do feel Arum wants the fight not to happen, its pretty clear on his recent comments.
    I still feel the fight will happen this time though, there is no solid reason for it not to happen.

    Floyd only have Roger by his side. There's absolutely no one around to negotiate for him. Roger can't do negotiation, that why GBP is there to help him on it.

    NOT! :lol:

    Lance lets look at some clear facts. GBP booked the MGM for May 5th on behalf of Mayweather. GBP along with Ellerbe contacted Top Rank a week or so ago to start negotiations for a May 5th showdown with Mayweather vs Pacquiao.

    That alone means that Floyd is using GBP to promote the fight on his behalf. Those are clear facts Lance and you claim to not be bias so please tell me what you have to say about. All Arum has to do is pick up the phone and contact GBP and get the mediator to sit down with them all and get the fight made.
