lets go through bobs documented and quotes excuses for ducking floyd mayweather for 5 years...and ****yze them shall we begin "The question with a Mayweather fight is at what weight? That's the big question. At 140, I don't think there's any problem making that fight." - 4/17/09 ohhh good one bob.... well i guess that goes good with number 2 "If Floyd wants to come in at a higher weight, I don't know. A catch-weight is a possibility also." - 4/17/09 hmmmm...i dunno...seems fishy......why would you want to go a cw or 140 to fight the top guy at 147?
here is 3-6 "You can tell Floyd Mayweather that Bob Arum says he's delusional. Floyd is not the attraction. Manny is the attraction." - 06/02/09 "Even a 50/50 split with Mayweather is nonsense." - 5/31/09 "He's just a problem and a head case and it'd be very, very difficult to put a match together." - 09/10/09 "People don't want to spend money watching a defensive fighter. That's the problem." - 09/10/09 50/50 split is nonsense....but you took 40...lol....floyd broke ppv records and became super rich...not bad for being a delusional, defensive, boring fighter...just another sad case of bap underestimating floyds ability to draw
7-10 "Mayweather will not engage his opponent and that makes a stinkin' fight." - 09/10/09 "People know Mayweather now. They know the son of a gun doesn't fight. He fights scared." - 09/10/09 "The fight that should be made is Mayweather and Shane Mosley, but Mayweather won't take that fight." - 10/7/09 "Cotto probably beats Mayweather. I think Manny probably beats Mayweather and I think Mosley beats Mayweather." - 10/7/09 hmmm...i think mayweather made that fight with mosley...ya know the one that roach was afraid to make for pac...lol weird...i dont think shane, cotto or manny did beat floyd.....poor bob...talk about delusional
11-14 "Money is secondary with him. He will not take a chance like a normal fighter." - 10/7/09 "He cares more about his legacy and being able to retire undefeated, so he could say that he never lost a fight." - 10/7/09 "It has to be March 13...because he is running for office, Manny can't fight on May 1st." - 12/04/09 "Schaefer sent me a new draft of the contract and he says to me that it has to be at the MGM Grand and nowhere else. Why?" - 12/10/09 so bob previously called a 50/50 split ridiculous...saying that manny deserves the larger share.....yet later says "money is secondary to floyd...he cares more about preserving his record"....quite the turnaround there bob the fight took place at the mgm grand just like we always knew it would...stop throwing up roadblocks bob! make the fight!
oh im great man hey..you notice what a ducker bob arum looks like here? what a fool he looks like here? it was bad enough he let floyd walk away from top rank over a measley 4 mil.....didnt think floyd/oscar would sell either.....and now you see just how bad bob had become at an old age...the game passed bob by years ago
"Doctors will tell you that blood-testing is not even sure anymore and urinalysis is the state-of-the-art testing for drugs." - 12/22/09 "Their [NSAC] drug testing is the best in the world and its an insult to them." - 12/22/09 "Who is this ignorant, illiterate kid demanding this. Who is he? This has never ever happened in professional boxing." - 12/22/09 "[Mayweather] had no intention of coming in at 147." - 12/22/09 "I'm not going to bully this kid and Freddie [Roach] is adamant about that point." - 12/22/09 "Mayweather knows Manny's phobia for giving blood, and he's using that to get out of the fight." - 12/23/09 "Every major doctor will tell you that blood testing shows absolutely nothing." - 12/23/09 "He [Pacquiao] doesn't want to do it [give blood] when he's in training, but he'll do it prior to going into training, and after the fight." - 12/23/09 "I'm not going to let Manny be compromised, and Manny is not going to let himself be compromised." - 12/23/09 "Nothing can possibly [be] done in the interim period that wouldn't be detected and shown by urinalysis." - 12/23/09 "Floyd never really wanted the fight and this is just harassment of Pacquiao." - 12/23/09 "He knew that Manny gets freaked out when his blood gets taken, and feels that it weakens him." - 12/23/09 "Floyd, to me, is a coward and he's always been a coward...he's afraid to face somebody who could beat him." - 12/23/09 "Manny has told me he doesn't want to be harassed." - 12/23/09 ohhhh noooo bob!!!!
"This fight is absolutely off. That's our position, period, is that we're moving on to Malignaggi." - 12/25/09 "If Mayweather loses this fight, and all of this money, then he has only one guy to blame, and that's Richard Schaefer. This is not Mayweather. This is Richard Schaefer." - 12/25/09 "I'm not going to deal with Richard Schaefer on instructions from my client. He's demeaned and libeled my client for no damn reason." - 12/25/09 "We'd only do it [testing] with the Nevada Athletic Commission. But for now, Manny has asked me to move on to Malignaggi." - 12/25/09 "Manny will do a blood test, as required, to get his new boxing license in January...Manny will also do another blood test after the fight. End of story." - 12/26/09 "If they do not agree to this, then that's the end for Mayweather as far as Pacquiao is concerned. Then Mayweather will never, never fight Manny." - 12/26/09 oh...cmon bob...give us a break will ya? malignaggi for christs sakes?
i know...its just sad to watch these idiots still run around here saying "floyd ducked pac for 5 years"... i mean i still have 60 quotes left to show what a delusional ducker arum is/was.......but i think ive made my point it irked bob even more when floyd left and his career really took off...its one thing to leave bobs nest....but bob undersold floyd....he miscalculated what floyd could be....big time....it irked him even more to see him reach oscar levels ...and work with oscars company in the process when floyd originally left...bob said nice things...he thought floyd was gonna use TR to promote his fights the way he used golden boy...when it didnt happen bob got real ****ed
Of course, every star he had left him and all made their biggest paydays, every fight they had without TR. Only pac has been stuck in debt to that scum so he had to stay to keep getting his monthly allowance
