    Irrelevant. But keep grasping at straws if it makes you feel better.

    Are you serious????

    Because Pacquiao is under contract with Bob Arum. Floyd Mayweather and the world knows this. Mayweather knows that a fight without Arum is impossible for the next couple years.

    Mayweather is acting like a straight coward. I have ALWAYS supported Mayweather when it came to Pac-Mayweather negotiations, but it has become clear as day that Floyd is avoiding Manny Pacquiao.

    Funny, I read stories ALL THE TIME of celebs owning jets, multiple cars, multiple homes, taking trips all around the world, etc. Nothing at all uncommon in what he does. That is the life of rich people. They spend money on what they want, when they want it. And in case you forgot Floyd is the biggest money-making athlete in the world. So what's the mystery here. Are you that out of touch of what goes on in the real world?

    No you don't know what's gonna happen. Your just taking your opinion and place it off as though it's fact.

    i agree with you on the "50 years from later arum...." thing 100%. That's kind of the reason I made this thread. Ever since Floyd left arum that guy has been a thorn in FMJ side.

    So you think Floyd has no idea what's going on with any of his finances? You can't be serious.. Of course he has advisors and people to look after it as well, but to think he, being a boss and all, don't know about business and his own money? What a stupid thing he's doing with TMT then.. It's like me making my own cell phones when I have no idea how they are made...

    You think he doesn't know that and would spend his last dime to keep living the "lifestyle"? You unfairly think very low of a man you only hear about through the media...

    I voted Lewis because you can't really duck any harder than being forced into retirement to avoid a bout. Manny Steward confirms this as the reason for Lewis' retirement in his book.

    I would think his son would have a life outside of social media with all that money. Besides, there is also plenty on the internet about his dad being the best boxer of his generation.

    Yeah he could, but this is what you said.. You didn't say maybe, you all but guaranteed it.. Holyfield also didn't pride himself on running his own business.. He wasn't trying to team up or rival one of the top promotion companies.. You really think Floyd is just that dumb huh? I don't really get it...

    I have no idea what TMTs books look like.. I don't know if their losing or profiting at the end of the year.. All I know is that they deal with millions of dollars every year not a little corner store.. You can't honestly compare TMT with a shop "any idiot with money" opens...

    You think when Wal-Mart opened Sam Walton was a idiot with money that opened his own shop? You think Oscar started Golden Boy and immediately became a top promotion company? You say they just started a few months ago, but already dismissing it as a failure...

    Ok whatever bro.. It's not really defending Floyd, it's just that I don't think he'll blow all his money in 5 years.. Who cares though.. They're not making me any money so whatever..

    Mayweather beat Arum the day he left Top Rank, and became the top dog of the sport. If he does or doesn't fight Pac. He will still be richer, above Pac on the ATG list and placed in the HOF. So Arum lost the day he lost Floyd. Think of how much more money he could of made, if he still had Floyd comparing to having Pac. Now Arum has to settle with #2 rather then #1.
