    You know, sorry for breaking up a good myth, but Bob Arum's just doing his job. Promoting.

    He's referring to Mayweather's demand from Don King, for a fight deal. Not just to face Pacquiao!

    Maybe 10-12 months ago, Mayweather and King talked about a 3-4 fight deal, and the $100 million number came up a few times on sites. Mayweather even posted it on his twitter feed. Like the actual offer.

    Sorry, I just get sick of people wasting their time, debating stuff like this, when there's nothing to debate.

    The $100 million was Mayweather's demand to Don King. Not to Bob Arum.

    And referred to a 3-4 fight deal, that included Pacquiao. Not $100 million guaranteed just to face Manny!

    I hope fans can maybe see how the "game" works, and how guys like Arum manipulate these situations

    then why did roger say it as well?, we should all give up on this fight its 80% sure it doesnt happen and if it does it will be past prime and not worth much.

    Roger Mayweather got asked to respond to this crap.

    He didn't start it.

    Bob Arum did.

    Mayweather posted the "$100 million demand" on his twitter feed, in 2010.

    As in, the actual contract from it

    How do you know the difference ? You don't , you're not some insider whos part of the negotiations , you're just some fan boy.


    Plus Uncle Roger just solidified this by saying that it's gonna take 100 million to make the "fight" happen, notice he used the singular form.

    Come on man. I read all of this in 2010.

    Don King/100 million/Pacquiao

    All Arum has done, is take 10 months to respond....................

    Roger Mayweather was responding to Arum. He didn't start the rumour!

    Sorry to be so blunt, but you'd have to be mentally ill to actually believe any of this

    Hate to deliver the breaking news, but they are both past prime. This statement as many on ESB are, struck me as "hidden agenda."

    I guess that's one theory but I'm not sure if Roger is smart enough to think in those terms. I still believe Roger was talking about $100mil for one fight with Pac.

    And what would be the motive for Arum to manipulate that number?

    You're talking out of you ass, you pass over your assumptions as fact. There is no way for you to know the truth. So please spare this forum the ignorant bull ****

    Yeah slightly but neither of them has looked bad or shot, allthough I do think may is slowing down and pac seems slower as well, november 2011 is the last chance. If the fight doesnt happen then the amount of credit given when it eventually does will be way way lower.

    You're the only one making a fool out of himself, how blunt does Roger have to be? He strait up says that it's going to take 100 million to make the fight . Do you have a learning disability ? You're the one trying to twist what he said , so that you hear only what you want to hear... You follow the classic pattern of an ignorant follower.

    This is how Arum promotion works

    1: Convince pacquiao fans the only reason they're having to pay $50 for a crappy match up, is Floyd Mayweather

    That's it

    I'm showing you the original source material for this claim.

    Your response is a strange theory that Bob Arum tells the truth...............

    So if there is no way for him to know the truth, then how exactly do you know the "truth"?

    So you're saying Floyd wants to fight Pac but it's Arum that's holding up the fight by lying that Floyd wants a $100mil?

    Or are you saying that to justify the Mosely fight, Arum had to lie bout Floyd wanting $100mil? Because I'm willing to believe that whether not not Arum says anything about Floyd, the Mosely fight will do around 1mil buys. How many more buys do you think this Floyd soundbite will add?
