    He's the PPV KING and TBE and yet you people say he's 'out of touch with reality'. Money can't win with you people. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. :-(

    Isn't it the other way around? Floyd is the only person whom Bob can't manipulate. DLH sued Bob but now Bob weaseled his way back into a favorable position with Golden Boy. In reality, Floyd is probably the only boxer who hasn't given way to Bob despite how much money can be made.

    You guys are hating on Floyd because he's not like Pac who is completely under Bob's control?

    Exactly. I don't understand how people still think it's Pac ducking.

    There seems to be a pattern developing:

    Manny tries to get Floyd to fight
    Floyd sets terms favoring himself (as he should, he is the A-side)
    Manny Agrees
    Floyd sets more terms (which he shouldn't Manny already agreed to his original terms)
    Manny Agrees
    Floyd sets more terms (which he shouldn't Manny already agreed to his original terms)
    Manny Agrees
    Floyd sets more terms (which he shouldn't Manny already agreed to his original terms)
    Manny Agrees
    Floyd sets more terms (which he shouldn't Manny already agreed to his original terms)
    Manny Agrees
    Floyd sets more terms (which he shouldn't Manny already agreed to his original terms)
    Floyd says something like "Health first" and moves on.

    I mean its rediculous. This would be like if you went to a car dealership and asked for 20% off sticker price and they said yes, you can't just demand more off lol. Floyd is creating terms he doesn't think Manny will ever agree to and win he accepts them his only way of saving face is to create more terms.

    yeah but bob is making floyd look like **** all this time. Floyd should have hired a PR team after the first pacquiao vs floyd discussions.

    Huh? Floyd has made A LOT more money than Pac/Arumn since then. I don't see where it went wrong. What haters think on this forum is not what the public thinks. Floyd is still #1 P4P, #1 PPV and has A LOT more fans than Manny if you look at social media numbers.

    It's true - he is PPV king, and an ATG (TBE is stretching it), but the problem is in this situation, is that he never DOES, it's always DOESN'T !!!
    :patsch

    You just said Floyd doesn't care about that and if he doesn't care then there is no reason for him to hire any PR team.

    We just want him to fight pacquiao. Why is it hard for him to do that?

    who tf really cares if arum or haymon is involved but realistically you can't take arum out from this. that's pac's promoter and almost like his manager.

    Nobody does. At all. It's just any sane/impartial boxing fan can see that it is crazy to suggest that the promoter who has Pacquaio under contract step aside for free. Highly, absurdly, illogical.

    I gotta disagree, he should care what the fans think, to an extent. Or at the very least be more transparent.

    The Bob Arum thing is an unmovable road block set up by Floyd.
    It's genius actually.
