    Can you reference a time in Floyd's career when he's represented himself in negotiations? I'll wait...

    Ok so why did Floyd call GBP (the same promotion he used the last time he negotiated this exact fight) and tell them he wanted to fight Pacquiao and told them to book the MGM Grand?
    And is it a coincidence that GBP called Top Rank on behalf of Floyd?

    yup, he's the boss and i believe that. but what's the problem with Floyd, what is he waiting for as Arum said to Floyd to get his own investor. cant Floyd handle on his own part as a businessman just like Arum?

    Did you not bother reading the article? Seriously, all jokes aside, have you chosen to remain ignorant or what, how do you not know that Arum himself literally **** on the "Facebook"/"twitter" argument...he's been contacted multiple times.

    I was actually saying, if he is his own boss, then he can make it on his own or appoint somebody/a group to represent him. Otherwise, enough of twitter or fb. Its a way to sensationalize floyds next fight, and he is not necessarily wanting to fight whoever he calls via twitter.

    Again do you intentionally not expose yourself to information or do you just "post"?

    Why did you switch over to this account? Why didn't you stick with your hofbrau username?

    1st negotiation- gbp and haymon negotiated for floyd.
    2nd negotiation- haymon negotiated for floyd through greenburg.

    floyd has to make it clear if gbp is representing him in the negotiation or not.

    You want the fight to move on? Look at this statement from Arum: "Plan A is Mayweather." Then Arum asked, who will negotiate for Mayweather? If you think Arum has been contacted multiple times, then Floyd should simply say, you have been contacted by my official negotiator, but you don't want to negotiate. As direct as that will make it clearer who does not want the fight to happen.

    Now, mayweather has all the time to respond to Arum's statement.
