    Incorrect-Bob needs to initiate the contact-

    IT WAS ARUM WHO ADVISED SCHAFER THAT TEAM PACQUIAO WAS NOT INTERESTED IN A FIGHT WITH FLOYD-

    THIS IS WHEN SCHAFER TRIED TO CONTACT BOB TO DEAL IN NOVEMBER AND BOB THOUGHT IT WAS JUST FLOYD TRYING TO GET SOME EXPOSURE WHEN PAC WAS FIGHTING THAT WEEK:deal

    SO THAT EXCUSE IS OUT -NEXT ONE.:deal

    Wow. I didn't know any of that. I mean, I like boxing and I'm starting to watch it more and more now but it's cool to read all of these articles with details I've never heard before. It's very cool.

    Floyd is the boss and Al Haymon works for him and Schaefer is respresenting him. Stop acting like you know anything about business

    Thanks! It's crazy to see the difference between what they talk about in the newspapers and what they talk about on the boxing sites and boards. I'm still trying to find more info on Ortiz and Berto though! I think all this talk about Floyd and Manny is screwing up the coverage for them! :(((

    Olympic Style Drug Testing.

    It's the same type of testing Mayweather requires all his opponents to take and the ones Pacquiao was turning down before. Ortiz/Bero II will be the first professional fight to have that doesn't include Mayweather

    He doesn't need to contact Arum who his promoter is, all he has to do is Tweet it :lol:.

    Berto accused Ortiz of taking them in their first fight and it's really based off of nothing. Ortiz is a man about it though and accepted to take it to prove he was clean like most athletes would do.

    What Ben Thompson said is correct, Arum was able to quote Mayweather directly from the exclusive Fighthype interview. Yet in the same interview Mayweather reiterates that Al Haymon is the guy who handles his business, but somehow Bob Arum missed that!

    Bob Arum is taking boxing fans for idiots, I think that could be possibly because *******s are lol!
