    The Bob Father is slicker than a gravy sandwich - but that's a funny quote.

    Well , he's right. A quick phone call is all it would take. Floyd's ego is too big though.

    “I don't worry about who the bloggers think is the best opponent,” Arum said by telephone from Las Vegas Sunday night. “I really don't care the writers say or even what the hardcore boxing followers say when it comes to this. I know we need to pick the opponent who is the most familiar to to the casual sports fan..."

    You serious? If Floyd or one his advisers called Top Rank and said they were interested in a fight, you don't think Bob would put everything on hold to make that happen? Money talks. That's the biggest payday in the history of the sport right there. Floyd thinks he's king of the world though so he has to make zero effort to make that fight go down.

    People act like this is new ****. The point is this. All legal bull**** aside, Team Mayweather will not respond to them unless the first words coming out of Manny Pacquiao's mouth are "I will take the random urine and blood tests upto the fight." Unless that comes out his mouth, there is no point in negotiating, no point in talking, no point in saying "hi lets do lunch" none of that ****. It would be a waste of time, energy, money, etc. to even entertain the notion.

    manny's relented from the first negotiations and opened the door..there's no good reason for floyd to back out now.

    i really don't get how anyone can still be in floyd's corner anymore.

    if you meet a girl down a club and she keeps saying she loves to **** and has a hsitory of ****ing but turns away every time you look at her do you keep at her?

    yeah..maybe if you're pissed out of your head.

    well guess what?
    the self-proclaimed best fighter in the world has said bugger all since this fight became viable.

    **** me...
