    But did a negotiation REALLY take place CoDer? When Arum and Co. knew full well what had to be met?

    Sure, one was scheduled and parties arrived etc... But as soon as it was clear cut offs were asked for, peace out.

    you dig?:p

    Yeah you too.

    Definitely the one of the toughest Pac posters to debate by a distance.

    All in fun.:good

    I don't have to dig deeper bro. Greenburg a neutral party already made a statement. Why would Greenburg lie? Even Oscar claim a fight is close to getting made, but latter denied it to sing the same tune Floyd is singing.

    Again Floyd could have said.

    "Pacman won't take test."

    But he did not.

    He was waiting for Pac to beat Cotto and agree to the testing.

    Margo had already been violently KO'ed by Mosley, whom Floyd went on to beat handily.

    And here's a question: When was the last time Cotto fought a non Top Rank Fighter? (Mayorga was shot to pieces, he does not count)?

    Again, IMO, it appears you just don't like HOW he said it.

    Sure Floyd could have gave a well thought out long ass speach about it, but seein' that Team Pac must not have still yet been serious, he said hell with it.

    I hear ya.

    This whole saga has really taught me a lot about Mr. Arum. I always knew, but damn I didn't know.

    Know what I mean.

    He about to trash Pavlik so bad in the media, he's gonna have to move out the country.....and that won't be far enough.

    Floyd is not a GBP fighter. They have a promotional alliance for Floyd's fights. Floyd is free to use whichever promotional agency he likes, as long he remains independent. For obvious reasons, he works with GBP (biggest promotional outfit in boxing not named Top Rank)

    On the other hand, Arum has a direct influence as to whom and when Manny fights.

    The term "in-house" would be more applicable to Khan, who is part of the GBP stable, and Manny is part of the Top Rank stable.

    Anyway...who fights more "in-house" fights was not the point. My argument was Arum HAS been an impediment (not the only one) to this fight being made, because, HE is benefiting greatly by delaying it.
