Arum admits Schaefer called his office several times to make the Mayweather fight

Exactly...if Pac loses, he loses BIG...We all saw how many people including *******s jumped ship after the JMM fight...If Pac loses his stock drops significantly.

Arum will not risk his cash cow if he can get away with it.

 

Schaefer calling Arum's office directly was a BIG step forward (particularly for Team Floyd) in terms of making this fight happen.

Arum not answering or not calling back is evidence of how much he does not want this fight.

It's as simple as 1 + 1 = 2

Arum and Team Pac have now entered the world of being a "disgrace" (not in general, they really are both ATG's, but just in terms of making this fight happen).

History will remember Arum (and thereby Pac) as being responsible for this fight not happening, as much as the irrational Pac fans and/or Floyd haters want to say otherwise.

 

:rofl:rofl

 

What happened to Floyd needs to find a promoter to give him his guarantee.

Isn't GBP a promoter?

Arum says one thing one day, and another thing the next.

Yesterday I was lying, today I'm telling the truth... Means he ALWAYS lies. Because the today he's telling the truth, becomes the yesterday the next day. So it's a lie.

Bad, bad form.

 

well there was a bunch of idiots in this thread

 

How much are you getting paid to post about Mayweather KarlBrandt?

 

Another Floyd tweet so yet another collective ***** orgasm. Why can't you dumbass lemmings put 2 and 2 together. The balking is not so much about Pac or Floyd anymore, it's about Arum not wanting GBP as part of the promotion. It's business politics. Arum at the very least owed it to himself to try and squeeze out GoldenBoy. Hello McFly!? Why do you think he's so insistent on moving the fight date? That date was reserved as a GBP promotion for the MGM grand. You ****tards need to exercise those atrophying brain cells and learn how to think for yourselves. I've said it before and I'll say it again, the fight will get made eventually and any decisions 'til then are just business ones. Now be patient and just wait for the whole thing to work itself out.

 

Not sure how that works. A 50/50 split means the whole ball of wax. Arum/Pac gets 50% of the whole pie. Arum claims he can make it a bigger pie, but that is just speculation. What Floyd does with his 50% (ie GBP) is not of concern to Arum.

People ASS U ME d that when Pac said he would take less he was referring to the split. It now appears as if he meant he was willing to take 50% of a smaller pie to make the fight happen. Like accept the May 5 date at the MGM even if it meant the overall revenue would be less. Easy for him to say as long as Arum is gonna guarantee is 50 Mill I guess.

 

Just answer the damn phone when GBP calls atsch

such an obvious duck

 

Like I said, he owed it to himself as a businessman to get Floyd to sign with him. Hence, him offering to guarantee Floyd. Hence him saying he'll get his lawyers to get him an extenuation. Hence him being all nice nice to Floyd this whole time. It's your classic squeeze-out and it's all business politickin'. Factor in that both these sides hate each other. GBP saw what Arum was trying to do which explains this whole back-and-forth venom between Oscar/Schaefer and Arum. But now that's out of the way and that it is clear GBP isn't going anywhere....I think this fight is looking very real for May.

 

:good

 

I don't think your "classic squeeze out" generally unfolds over the course of 3 years and multiple failed negotiations.

 

It snowballs by the day and Im astounded that people are still defending Arum/PAC...I can only assume they are just "pot committed" and feel like they "have to" keep this **** up. It can't really be any more clear whats happening.
