    Steroid issue aside, the negotiation for this fight looks a little weird. GBP is the one negotiating for Floyd yet Ellerbe will quickly remind anyone who says that GBP is promoting Floyd that GBP does not promote Floyd. Floyd is promoted by Mayweather Promotions. Yet, GBP is the one negotiating for Floyd with Top Rank.

    Top Rank is the primary promoter of Manny yet we know that GBP also owns part of Manny and GBP gets a percentage of profit from each Pacquiao fight. So, we can say that Pacquiao’s primary promoter is negotiating with Pacquiao’s co-promoter representing Mayweather .

    The funny thing is that both promoters of Pac can't even agree with each other!

    The only way to get this fight done would be to have the two men who are actually going to fight in the same room to you know... negotiate. Who knows what's actually being said to them by their team.

    One of the reasons why this fight was never gonna happen. Oscar and Arum don't like each other. And Floyd doesn't get along with Arum. Too much bad blood between them all.

    When the last time another boxer sued another boxer for defamation of character:lol:

    Imagine if sonny liston or joe frazier, sued ali for Slander for calling them an uncle tom.:rofl:rofl

    They would have been the laughing stock of the boxing world.

    Pac if you go to court with this, you are the biggest joke in boxing.

    You use all this GOD talk to justify your actions. Yet you were the one who cheated on your own wife, and if im not mistaken had a kid?

    Liars go to hell right? Kool, i guess floyd Sr will see you there:lol:

    Ali calling Frazier an Uncle Tom and Liston a Big Ugly Bear never had any bearing on the relevancy of their careers. These allegations against Pac do however.

    And so therefore Floyd is a saint? He's got his skeletons too just like anyone else. Personal lives are just that, personal. This is something that extends to professional levels.

    Here you go again kid. How many times do I have to school your sorry ass. This is for grownups not for some little boy's discussions.

    You obviously don't know anything about the Catholic Religion or any Christian Religion for that matter, do you? So, STFU. You also don't know how to differentiate between personal and defamation, so again STFU. Moreover, you don't know how to back up your arguments about Pacquiao being the laughing stock, and why would a high profile lawyer take his case if he is a laughing stock? Well, I guess that would be too hard to comprehend because either you are as dumb as a box of rocks or you're just a Troll. STFU!!!

    Bottom line up front, Oskie is jealous of all the accolades that Pacquiao is getting, and Froid will always be Froid. He will never fight someone equal. Think about it, he has doubts right now that he can beat Pacquiao. How ****ing sad is that? He was just bragging that Pacquiao is an easy fight and one dimentional and now he is so ****ing quiet. The silence is almost deafening.

    Both should meet with their Lawyers and end this charade. Unless Froid is willing to pay Pacquiao millions then it's up to him. Froid, if you think Pacquiao is so easy to beat then why don't you make this negotiation easier and faster, and show us how great you are? Man up Froid! We have enough of your shenanigans; you need to man up, ma_****er.
