Do you seriously think Floyd gives a sh*t about Bob Arum's deadline?

    You can't toss Floyd around at the negotiating table, give him an ultimatum such as a drug testing window or a deadline with a countdown and he'll laugh at it. The negotiating table has a name on it: property of Floyd Mayweather Jr. Love it or hate it, but he's businessman no1 in boxing and he gives the ultimatums. But Bob Arum once again made it look like Mayweather's solely responsible for screwing up a fight that never came close due to BOTH sides.

    Floyd's main demand was and still is random drug testing, and how it's properly done, take it or leave it, and Pacquiao's side said no thank you & made the home grown Clottey fight in the Cowboys instead. Arum made shitloads of money as the sole promoter and getting the huge site fee, and in the meantime, Floyd took on the Shane Mosley that Pac refused to face even at 140, and dominated the World WW Champ. Do you seriously think he's afraid of Pac?


    It is being reported that Pacquaio's side still did NOT agree to random blood/urine testing up to the fight so in reality nothing changed, you can make a countdown all you want and it's still like "President Obama has 10 days to take an arm-wrestle fight and he's a coward if he doesn't" - he's unlikely to show up. And that is Bob Arum's genious: he knows exactly what it takes to make the fight - the proper testing of the Shane fight - and he knows how to give looking-good-to-the-media demands to Floyd who's likely to refuse them, allowing Arum to make the next installment of all-income-to-me Top Rank only fight while the blame is on Floyd. This is the 2nd use of this trick this year.

    Maybe Bob Arum likes the idea of Floyd-Pac, but he definitely likes the idea of Pac-Clottey, Pac-Cotto and Pac-Margarito better and what a promotion it is having!


    I asked "do you seriously think Floyd gives a **** about Bob Arum's deadline"? Well, the Bobfather knew the answer before he asked the question. It is called a BLUFFING. :thumbsup

    same, some people have n idea that boxing is a business and that you have no right to get the maxiumum out of negotiations.

    and yeah i bet floyd was in fits at how these fools are running round like headless chickens

    I bet Floyd will deliberately allow Bob to commence negotiations with Cotto/Margo, and then make contact. He'll do it in his own time

    he is a master psycoligist, he knows how to get in the opponents head, when pac thinks he is going to fight margo he will then sign and then pac will have no option but to give in to floyd and he always finds a way to make the oppoent his *****, l**** with shane he ordered drug testing,. shane had to comply

    and he treated jmm like a ***** when he didnt weigh in at 144.

    he has no respect for his oppoent and that riles them up so bad

    What I dont understand is why Arum went from calling Mayweather a ***** and a coward to now saying he may have a valid reason for not fighting this year.

    I dont understand what has changed? Why is Arum being so nice?

    If the fight is completely dead then why isn't he cursing Money out!

    arum's a liar, that's all there is to it. he's probably laid out a lot of options whereby he always ends up in a win-win situation.

    I know of all people, I'm gonna sound crazier than ever.
    Pac and Floyd are the two best today.
    I doubt Floyd is afraid. what I do want to say is
    Congrats to FloydMayweather Jr. Foundation for ranking in the top 200 charities in the Chase Community Giving Contest on FB! - giving food to the less fortunate
    Don't make Floyd a real man..tell me what does.
    GOD Bless!! Floyd and his caring family.
