    I kind of figured you will say something with no substance at all related to your claims!!! I understand you really have no reason behind your stance besides Hatred.

    I was thinking the same thing! You know maybe pay Jmm some step aside money like they did with Berto so that the Mosley vs Mayweather fight could happen.

    So the Singapore offer is gospel, and the Examiner is journalism at its finest, however this offer is somehow bogus and Fight Hype lacks objectivity. ******* logic reminds me of this picture.

    The same could be said about Elie Seckbac and his site!!! He has an obvious love for Pacquiao and have softball interviews with Arum all the time. I have never seen Elie ask a tough question of Arum or Pacquiao for that manner. Dont just ask maybe 1 tough question but have a real sit down talk and hammer away. Not these i ran into Arum in a hallway or lobby and got a 2:45 second interview with Arum doing all the talking!!!

    :patsch Wow...you are really grasping here. Has Floyd's actions REALLY turned his fanboys into this type of desperate poster?

    For that kind of money they could give JMM an awesome deal.. If Pac did lose to Floyd it would only make the JMM fight more legit seeing that they both were beat by the same guy. If Pac won JMM goes in the fight against the guy who pulled a razor thin win and a draw against him. And also the only man who will hold a win against the one fighter in about a decade to decisively beat him..

    Whether all this huge money talk is true or not. I guess Floyd was right in thinking that this fight could still grow. Hagler chased Leonard for years until it finally happened and that was huge..

    Excerpts from the article:

    Fh.com can confirm that a letter of intent was indeed sent to Top Rank Promotions outlining the guaranteed 75$ dollars for both sides."Yes we sent the offer on friday but haven't heard back from them yet". Hopefully Arum will present it to Pacquiao soon. Mayweather is availavble to fight this year.

    Lol this guy said Ben Thompson from FightHype is a credible boxing source....the dude is basically Mayweather's personal media writer.

    This is why I struggle to debate this stuff.

    You appear to think Bob Arum claiming, with no evidence whatsoever, to a blogger that "Mayweather turned down 65 million from unnamed Singaporeans" is true..............And yet you dismiss this.

    They're both the exact same thing.

    PR from promoters

    Arum hasn't named anyone either.

    It's all the same thing.

    Arum makes up stuff about mystery Singaporeans, as he wants to try and convince fans that Marquez is the only option..........

    Mayweather's people probably come out with the same fake rumours, to get back at him

    Hahaha, seriously

    If Mayweather had taken on Mosely, after Manny had retired him, you'd be calling him a grade A coward.

    Pacquiao taking on Mosely was pathetic. His performance was even more pathetic
