I don't even blame floyd now, arum is the pile of **** in all this debacle. He shits on floyd when he wanted to get the first fight passed up for an in house stadium fight, then he praises floyd when it gets attention and he can pass the steam onto his agenda. Oh no, don't blame floyd now, his poor uncle.... now that you know it's not floyds fault (i can still make million from it in 11) check out my other plans!!! cotto marg in bull**** fights to tide you over and get me even more money!!!! Don't crucify floyd, boxing fans!!! I didn't even ****ing talk to the guy or his team!!! but, let's keep 11 open for a pac/may fight... (right after I milk pac for another big check vs another no chance fighter) Holy **** I am so mad. He is so obviously using pac mayweather as a carrot on a string.
It hasn't always. The best used to fight the best with the promoters in the background. Now the promoters are the ones calling out fighters and trying to make fights. Ali frazier I was a 50/50 fight so was Ali/Foreman The fights made sense and they made money. Arum is milking pacquiao for every penny he can get.
I actually can't wait to hear Mayweather talk and hear his side...I know he spews some bull****, but he has nothing on Arum. I was adament I wasn't going to defend Mayweather if they didn't agree either...
Arum paints floyd as a coward during the initial negotiations because he has clottey lined up, so he moves on and feeds clottey to pac for the payday, then he realizes he has no one left to feed pac, so he sells it as "well, we want floyd, but just in case we'll do marg cotto" we don't **** on floyd like we did in december, just to keep the fight lucrative and interesting in 11. Arum thinks he is smarter than the fans and he is trying to manipulate the public. I hope everyone boycotts whatever farce he puts on with pacquiao next and forces him to actually negotiate like a man with floyd.
It's ALWAYS been about the money for the promoters/managers you dumb truck. What's funny to me is that you're so worked up about it...seriously? You're surprised at this? Focus your attention on something else and you'll be a much happier boxing fan. You're wasting your time and energy on all this Floyd-Manny ****. Other fish in the sea...
He wasn't. Had Mayweather signed, the fight would have happened and it's as simple as that. The contract was agreed, Pacquiao signed, Mayweather didn't. Blame Arum for all this nonsense, sure. I don't think he wants the fight personally, but at least he came through, made concessions and got his man to agree to the fight. The man to blame is Mayweather.
The only bluff being called is by floyd. Floyd just schooled this greedy ***** by blowing him off and forcing him to keep mayweather as a 'non-scared legit mega fight' If arum was going to man up and follow through with his money counter and all that bull****, he would be a man and say floyd was a *****, but instead he shows it was a negotiation ploy and it didn't work. "mayweather is a coward and he is afraid of losing his 0" Doesn't convince floyd to sign. "mayweather better sign by this day or i'm going to the media" Doesn't convince floyd to sign. "well, it's not mayweather's fault, his uncle is in legal trouble!" So instead of calling it quits on his guaranteed millions of dollars he extends the calling out of floyd by lending the 'uncle jail' excuse and why boxing fans are ass holes if they don't accept it.
The agreement or whatever. Whatever it was, the fact is, both sides agreed, as did Pacquiao. The one person who didn't was Mayweather.
What? why are you in a thread about arum saying don't focus on what arum just said? Kick rocks, dork.
Arum doesn't even know what mayweather has said. Mayweather probably hates arum so much he is just keeping quiet to watch him stumble over his own words.
