Floyd Mayweather drops WBC welterweight title as Pacquiao becomes No.1 contender

I love you posting **** form a negotiation three years ago.

Today pacquiao is the #1 contender..and today floyd drops "his favorite belt" rather than fighting his mandatory.

He justified that joke Guererro fight by saying "HE'S MY MANDATORY!!"

 

Where is the proof that he dropped the title?

And where is the proof that Pac is going to enforce his mandatory status?

I love when people post nonsense without any proof to back up their claims.

 

You need to wear reading glasses. I said in 2010 not 2009.

 

There was only ever one round of negotiations and they took place in december 2009. There no negotiating in 2010 or anytime after.

Bob Arum, the promoter of Manny Pacquiao, said last week that he negotiated with Floyd Mayweather Jr. for a proposed Nov. 13 fight through HBO Sports President Ross Greenburg.

Leonard Ellerbe, one of Mayweather's advisors, then issued a bizarre statement claiming no negotiations ever took place. That was corroborated by Richard Schaefer and Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions, with which Mayweather is affiliated.

Now Greenburg releases a short statement on Monday evening saying he did in fact act as a go-between in negotiations with the two sides.

The statement:

“Fights like Mayweather vs. Pacquiao are significant because of these fighters’ ability to connect with sports fans around the world. It’s unfortunate that it won’t happen in 2010. I had been negotiating with a representative from each side since May 2nd, carefully trying to put the fight together. Hopefully, someday this fight will happen. Sports fans deserve it.”

 

Arum had said over and over during the past two weeks, beginning on a 3 a.m. ET July 17 conference call to announce that the exclusive window to negotiate with Mayweather had closed, that he was negotiating the fight with Al Haymon, Mayweather's adviser, with Greenburg as the go-between.

Arum said he would discuss deal points with Greenburg, who would then take them to Haymon and vice versa.

Leonard Ellerbe, Mayweather's other adviser and the public voice because Haymon refuses to speak to the press, said a few days after Arum outlined how the talks went that there had never been any negotiations.

He released a statement a few days after Arum's teleconference that said, "Here are the facts. Al Haymon, (Golden Boy Promotions CEO) Richard Schaefer and myself speak to each other on a regular basis, and the truth is no negotiations have ever taken place, nor was there ever a deal agreed upon by Team Mayweather or Floyd Mayweather to fight Manny Pacquiao on Nov. 13. Either Ross Greenburg or Bob Arum is not telling the truth, but history tells us who is lying."

Ellerbe was clearly taking a shot at Arum, whose history of playing fast and loose with the truth is legendary in boxing circles.

Schaefer, who has promoted Mayweather's past several fights, also denied the negotiations and said he stood behind Ellerbe's statement.


"I think it's unfortunate that Ross made that statement," Schaefer told ESPN.com. "I fully stand behind the statement I made. I have not negotiated with Ross and I am not aware of any negotiations that have taken place.

You think now that it has been revealed that Mayweather got that baby D that the fight won't happen at all?

 

Greenburg lying ? Why would Greenburg lie ? Floyd was HBO's number one fighter then.:think

 

Didn't you post an article where Bob flew to the Phils with a contract and it was Pacquiao himself who refused it? :think

2014 is around the corner and you *******s still living in 2009/2010? :smh Who gives a F, move on.

 

"That's based on my conversations with Ross Greenburg," Arum said. "I have never talked to anybody on the Mayweather side. Ross represented to me certain things that he had discussed with Al Haymon on behalf of Floyd Mayweather

Asked why he only negotiated the bout with Greenburg acting as a go-between rather than directly with Haymon, with whom he has had a rancorous relationship in recent years, Arum said: "Ross was committed to make the fight happen and as the head of HBO Sports I felt the best chance to make the fight happen was to do everything through Ross, almost like he was the mediator. And I still believe it was the right way to go. It obviously didn't work out [but] not because Ross didn't do a good job.

Because Floyd did not sign the PROPOSED contract.deal

Did Floyd sign the contract ?:nono

 

Floyd didn't do this, didn't do that. He a meanie. Mommmmmmmmmmm! :boohoo

 

It's almost 2014, Floyd still making excuses.:hi::hi:

 

NO, he's not. He said he's not fighting Pac. What more is there to say?

 

Ask greenburg why he would lie.

Greenburg didnt make any follow up statements to dispute the claims. You seem to think its legit negotiations when niether side has ANY contact with each other in person or over the phone. And how real could they be when ARUM PUT A TWO WEEK DEADLINE ON BEING ABLE TO AGREE. Add to that Pac still hadnt agreed to OSDT.
