Surely even Floyd fans now see what's going on here? Surely?

    :lol: He only has himself to blame for all this stuff. PBF talks the talk alright, but he is shirking out of walking the walk. That can only bring derision, and lots of it.

    Mayweather has clearly lost the P.R battle by keeping quiet. Arum fully admits to never talking to anyone from Mayweather's side and only to Ross Greenburg. Since when do you negotiate through a network exec? Even Arum's stooge Michael Marley says that, from all the information he could gather, no negotiations ever took place. At this point it doesn't matter what happened, the blames already going to be put squarely on Mayweather's shoulders. He'll just have to deal with it until this fight happens, if it ever happens.

    What if Floyd is waiting til he knows whether Roger is being convicted or not? What if Floyd wants to do what De La Hoya did when he became a massive cash cow - ie fight once a year?

    It's frustrating that he doesn't fight more often but it is what it is. I'm 90% sure a Pac-May fight will happen before the end of next year. We'll have a thousand threads like this one before the fight gets signed, and it'll all be forgotten about once the news comes in that it's finally happening.

    Well actually Pac is looking to take the hardest challenge of them all. Floyd Mayweather Jr! Too bad Floyd doesnt want the same.

    Realistically, is there anything Floyd or Team Mayweather could ever, ever do, which would draw even the slightest criticism from yourself? :think

    i knew from day mother ****ing 1 he wouldn't fight pacquiao.

    when he retired the first time and said "theres no other challenges for me..." when there was a undefeated welterweight champion in HIS division showed me his true colors.

    He didn't walk away. He said **** you after trying to compromise with Floyd over months of negotiation. Everyone got tired of Floyd's ego.

    This is the present now. Floyd needs to man up and he's off on vacation , plain and simple.

    Why would I need to criticize him? He gets enough ****. Fact of the matter is though, these latest rounds of "negotiations" were a complete joke. Obviously Mayweather deserves some blame because he seems content with being on vacation. However, Arum simply played the fans and the media. Promoters don't negotiate via an e-mail to a network executive. That just doesn't happen.

    Mayweather avoided the fight. He has his reasons. None of them excusable.

    Void, Sr. said that he did not want Void, Jr. to fight Pac. He said that right after Pac stopped Cotto. I have always said that Void would never fight Pac.

    Why would the business genius that is Floyd (according to his fans) take advice from anyone? He's MONEY Mayweather you know.
