    floyd has pulled that stunt before. he is fighting marquez because he is getting ready for pacquiao and wants to take back his throne.

    well I mean ****, he gives GBP the greenlight 2 hours after Pacquiao beats Cotto to start negotiations and then Floyd compromises on his original money split, time, gloves, weight class, weight penalty, and even a cutoff.

    Sounds like he wanted the fight

    They have already worked with arum so many times. They have staged fights between them. Why impossible?

    Here is the original transcript of the on-the-record interview I did with George Peterson on December 2, 2009…(Keep in mind Peterson works closely with Floyd’s advisor Al Haymon in directing the career of Paul Williams.)

    BoxingInsider: Who do you see winning Pacquiao vs. Floyd?
    Peterson: “

    BoxingInsider: You don’t think so?
    Peterson:

    BoxingInsider: Why not?

    BoxingInsider: Why not? Everyone wants to see it?
    Peterson: “A lot of people want to see it but

    BoxingInsider: Mayweather doesn’t want it does he?
    Peterson: “Ah,
    This content is protected
    .”
    BoxingInsider: You’re saying it with a lot of certainty in your voice.
    Peterson: “Yes sir. Yes sir. If it was gonna be made it would be made by now.”
    BoxingInsider: Who doesn’t want to pull the trigger? (I know Mayweather is the chicken here, just want to try to get more from the source.)
    Peterson: “
    This content is protected
    .”
    BoxingInsider: You know something but won’t say it.
    Peterson: [Smiles].
    BoxingInsider: Who would win, if it was made? Just for fun?
    Peterson: “

    BoxingInsider: I hear you, it’s not even worth wasting the energy on a fight that is fantasy.
    Peterson: “

    List of Arum-Dela Hoya co-promoted fights. Bob and Oscar worked together to promote these fights.

    Gamboa vs Ponce De Leon
    Pacquiao vs Dela Hoya
    Pacquiao vs JMM 2
    Pacquiao vs Barrera 2

    and many more ... So it's not impossible for Arum and Dela Hoya to work together.

    Haymon associate George Peterson knew early on that Floyd was just ****in' around. George was so definite and insistent that the fight was not going to happen, and that was before OSDT. We can only assume who told George this.

    Also, from memory:

    Pac-Hatton
    Mosley-Cotto
    Mosley-Margarito
    Pavlik-Hopkins
    Clottey-Corrales .

    And most of those fights were TR fighters giving GBP fighters opportunities to redeem themselves.


    Lookie at this quote from Mr De La Hoya I found from 2006 after he left Arum.


    They contnued to work together till 2009, even after their dispute over Pac's contract. The thing that set Arum off was De La Hoya accusing Pacquiao of using steroids. That crossed the line. Oscar has to share part of the responsibility.
