    He took tens of thousands of Floyd's money and put them on stupid bets

    Floyd does not want to fight the Pacman! So he's looking for any excuse to duck Manny! Simples!

    Arum did a great job for him, it's just another bull**** excuse by Mayweather not to fight Pacman.

    Notice how once Manny fully agreed to the testing, Floyd had to come up with another roadblock in order to stop the fight from happening.

    Arum saved Floyds neck when James Prince and his Bodyguards were going to beat Floyd up, Arum paid Prince off and stopped the beating from taking place.

    Also Arum took care of Mayweather Sr and Roger when they were homeless.

    I think when Bob managed Floyds's early career he was more interested in securing the massive Hispanic boxing market under his stable of fighters, rather than helping Floyd develop his career..

    Not unlike De La Hoya,Mayweather is an fukking ingrate.Arum made this ***** a lot of dough and made Mayeather pay to be released from his contract.In other words,Arum got the better of Floyd and the little winer can't handle it.

    I don't think Arum did screw him. I think Arums company are specialists at making fighters huge name in huge fights with huge followings. Eventually, the fighter sees his salary of 8 million and realises if he goes on his own Arum has now made him a big enough name to make it 20 million. I think Cotto has recently done the same.

    Floyd wasn't the PPV star he wanted to be under Arum but he had no personality and his fights were often technical. Floyd will lie and say Arum screwed him but Floyd made himself big by engaging in fights like Corley and Cotto and also talking every fight up and moving up in weight. He made himself relevant and rich after he realised people want drama.

    Floyd wanted those big fights, arum didn't deliver.. he wanted those big paydays, arum didn't deliver. Hasn't anyone ever noticed bob hardly ever builds and american star. It's always guys from other big boxing countries who have a big following. It's harder for an american to get that kind of following and produce big ppv numbers.
    I remember during a floyd fight (can't remember which) the commentators saying floyd and bob fell out because floyd wanted a huge poster promoting his fight but arum wouldn't do it lol.
    Sometimes in business people choose not to deal with certain people, boxings a business and this is whats happened here. I also think theres some kind of beef between bob and al haymon. I remember seeing bob going on a rant about al.

    Look at the facts... de lay hoya left arum floyd fights him... same with cotto, mosley, marquez. I have no doubt floyd would fight pacman if he left bob.

    This simply isn't true. Before Pac started to move out in weights and Mayweather v Cotto was the biggest fight touted at the time, Mayweather repeatedly said that he has a big problem with Bob Arum and will not be working with him. There are youtube clips out there to back this up
