    Maybe he will. But why hasn't he?

    He will eventually sign, but not within this "deadline" because it means Arum's mind game worked on Floyd and they will want to capitalise on that.

    I don't think so. Apparently they're doing work for the Floyd Mayweather Foundation. Feeding the less fortunate. According to that tweet or twit or whatever.

    hahahaha, unintentionally funny...

    Anyway, I mean, he's in vegas though right?

    So clearly he's not out of town on vacation or anything?

    he's being a dick and trying to stick it to Bob Arum.
    " I was ready to sign but why should I have to abide by a deadline set by someone I don't work for? I'm my own boss, etc etc etc"
    Something like that. I'd be pissed.

    Floyd controls the negotiations, not Arum.

    Arum got away once with putting Pacquiao in with a pile, he won't get away with it again. The boxing world will not accept Pac/Cotto or Pac/Margo.

    This whole deadline is a pathetic attempt to steal leverage in the negotiations when it's clear that Mayweather/GBP are the ones with the power.

    Man, I never saw Floyd's Twitter account before. That guy is so gay for himself.

    So if floyd signs he caved in and you lose respect for him playing arums game? If he doesn't sign he's a stand up guy who wouldn't be dictated to......


    Should he sign or shouldn't he?

    he doesn't get a win/win on this one.
