    Not sure what's hard to understand about this.. Trying to say it's about numbers is grasping at straws that don't even exist, as nothing at all was said by anybody about any numbers.

    Again, tit for tat for when Mayweather went behind his back and tried to negotiate with Pac on EXACTLY those terms. Floyd is with GBP. Don't try and make out Floyd is an independent. This would have been a GBP fight because you need a licensed promoter.
    See above. Floyd started this one on GBP's behalf. Arum simply turned it around on them and you blame Arum. OK. Sure, why not.
    GBP is the one that tied the two fights together knowing that they wouldn't get Rios because he was on hold. This is as plain as day.

    Lets put this all together now.
    Floyd, on behalf of GBP, makes offer to Pac. One time payment, no Arum, no co-promotion.
    Arum turns around and does EXACTLY the same thing to GBP. Same terms.
    GBP makes a demand on Rios they know ahead of time won't happen.

    If you don't see it now, you never will because you don't want to. Look at the whole picture.

    :lol: Of course it's Floyd's fault!

    Isn't going around Top Rank's back for the Pacquiao fight in the first place merely the tat for Arum's insistence that he just didn't know who represented Floyd and his refusal to answer Schaefer's calls on the fight? If Floyd and Golden Boy are one and the same it makes Arum's public statements earlier this year about the May 5th date look even more ridiculous than they already do.

    Of course all of the above accepts your absurd shifting of the goalposts and your attempt to bring in something completely irrelevant to somehow justify Arum's disingenuous offer. Likewise, Mayweather's offer to Pacquiao could not actually be accepted without Top Rank signing off on it, something that makes your phrase "go around Top Rank's back" an inappropriate description.

    Mayweather doesnt speak on behalf of GBP Hermit :lol: :patsch

    You are being willfully ignorant.

    You are literally accepting Arums killing of these fights and it boggles my mind as to why, I dont pay attention enough in the general forum to know if you usually take Top Ranks side or are a GBP hater or whatever stupid **** goes on here, but I can tell you, you are being bias in this case.

    First it was '''''you must know all about these negotiations, please fax me the quote sheets''' crap, trying to use that as an angle (that GBP offered bad numbers) as to why it wasnt a go.

    Then when pointed out how dumb of a question that is, because it was declined on principle, you make it out to be something else going back to mayweather acting like a ******. As if Mayweather speaks for Golden Boy Promotions :lol:

    This **** is obvious. Most get it, you dont... for whatever reason. I dont care at this point :lol:

    Your line of reasoning
    ----
    Mayweather acts like his usually ******ed self, tries to get a Pac fight away from Arum

    Top Rank and Arum now can kill any awesome fight proposed without wanting to negotiate with GBP by trying to do as a company to GBP what Floyd Mayweather tried to do with Pac :lol:


    And you want to know the truth? The truth is we could probably go to an issue before that as to where Top Rank tried to screw over GBP, and then to where GBP tried to screw over Top Rank.

    You seem to want to continue this trail of 'oh.... oh but its his fault first!' line.

    When all we need is right in front of us.

    GBP tried to make a good fight, where their fighter would have even been the underdog.

    Arum killed it.


    Keep talking about this or that, but thats the issue here.

    You seem to have a horse in this race for some reason, I dont, and no longer care to discuss it :lol:

    Who would have promoted that fight if not Arum? Seriously. Mayweather promotion is just a name. Period.
    It isn't me. Did Arum simply turn around Floyd's terms or not? Yes or no. This one is just so simple.


    Bingo. Look in the mirror. You have taken a side and refuse to admit what is going on here. Arum turned around and offered GBP exactly what their fighter offered him. And yes, Floyd fights for GBP so that is the same thing as far as Arum is concerned.

    Again, yes or no. Aren't these the same terms that were offered for a GBP fight for Floyd/Pac. You simply have no where to go with this one because I am flat out right and you are flat out wrong. But go ahead and blame Arum because it is the popular mob based thinking thing to do and you will get plenty of support for your position.

    Your point? The point of the whole thread is blaming Arum for making a similar offer that was given for May/Pac. All he did was turn around and offer the same terms. Why was it acceptable for May/Pac but not now?

    You guys really don't see what Arum is doing here. Bseen had several articles that showed that Arum is deep under Schaefer's skin. Now he turns around EXACTLY the **** they tried to shoved down his throat back on them. You guys are so, so easy. :rofl

    Golden Boy (if we accept your idea that Floyd's bull**** offer was on behalf of them) merely turned around and did to Top Rank with Pacquiao the exact same thing Arum tried doing with Floyd months earlier. Thus all the talk about investment groups and Mayweather going solo and not wanting Golden Boy involved in the fight in November of 2011 and all of the talk about not knowing who to contact earlier this year. Try to come up with a new excuse for Arum's behavior; maybe the third time will be the charm.

    OK. Again. Who would have promoted Pac/May under May's proposal. No one wants to answer this one because we know the truth. It would have been a GBP. They have a license and promote his fights. But go ahead. Please answer so we are on the same page.

    Floyd flat out denied the negotiations happened for the second round after Arum had been in negotiations. This is why Arum said he didn't know who to negotiate with. Floyd said there were NO negotiations. HBO basically had to step in and back Arum that there were negotiations. So, you lose here. Arum was right to say he didn't know who to negotiate with because of this. Floyd denied the people negotiating for him had the right to do so. Not nearly the same as calling Pac direct and telling him Top Rank could not be involved in the promotion if they fought.

    Wrong again. Arum's response to the 'offer' was based on giving GBP a taste of their own medicine. Deny it if you must to keep you illusion going though.

    Trying to leave out the Mayweather, Oscar, Arum history is as ******ed as it gets. I know you have to do so to assign blame where it suits your preconceived notion but it doesn't work to anyone looking at this objectively.

    Again you're placing too much significance on Floyd's bull**** offer, but to review from November of 2011, before said dumb offer was made:
    Given that your position is that Floyd is completely bound to Golden Boy, any effort by Floyd and Golden Boy to cut Top Rank out of the negotiations is itself the taste of one's own medicine for this case, and we're left in a position where again, Top Rank initiated this particular brand of pettiness.

    I can't believe I'm being dragged down the Pacweather rabbit hole of stupidity, but I suppose covering one's ears and yelling about Floyd is often the best way to try to justify Arum's statements and actions.

    I'm not justifying his actions. I'm explaining where they started to a bunch of morons that come on here and openly state they wish he were dead and can't accept that GBP is equally to blame here. What you quoted in no way indicates Arum was the one trying to cut out GB. It simply says Floyd was seeing what kind of deal he might be able to make without them. In the end, Floyd has used GBP for all his recent fights and would have done so under his offer to Pac. Not seeing that Arum is simply now turning these same terms on GBP is just fanboyizm. Blame Arum but if you don't realize the 'counter offer' was meant as a deal killer, well, you just aren't paying attention. GB doesn't want Mares facing Donaire. Even this **** poor matchmakers know he has no chance.
