What is Mayweather Scared ~ Sign the Contract Already

Pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao won’t agree to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and his adviser Michael Koncz believes Mayweather himself won’t agree to fight there either.
Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer who called off a planned visit with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and HBO Sports Ross Greenburg to Dallas, Texas to talk to the owner of the Dallas Cowboys new state-of-the-art stadium – Jerry Jones – at the last minute, announced that AEG had offered a $20 million guarantee to stage the fight at the Staples Center.
Schaefer’s decision forced Arum to cancel the trip which he said was an embarrassment since they hadn’t even given Jones the courtesy of listening to what his offer was. Arum told us he suspected there was something “fishy” going on.
Schaefer’s announcement of the AEG offer appeared to confirm Arum’s suspicion since AEG and Golden Boy Promotions have shared business interests.
When ***********.co, insidesports.ph, Standard Today and Viva Sports contacted Golden Boy Promotions vice president and international matchmaker Eric G mez at 2:00 a.m. on Friday (Manila Time) he said “I have no idea of what’s going on because I have been in Chicago for the last few days attending to the Juan Diaz – Paulie Malignaggi fight and I haven’t had any contact with Richard (Schaefer) with regards to that (Pacquiao vs Mayweather). I know he’s still working on it. I don’t know what happened. I don’t have any information. Just call Richard at the office.”
When we called Schaefer, the operator at Golden Boy got back to us after connecting to Schaefer’s office and said “Richard is not taking any calls from the media regarding the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.”
Koncz called us at 5:00 a.m. to tell us “Manny is not interested in fighting in LA. I’m going to advocate against it also for the simple reason that its going to cost Manny an additional $3-$5 million in taxes to fight in LA. I mentioned to Manny that it looks like Staples Center and he said ‘I don’t want to fight in LA. I prefer Vegas and I didn’t even tell him about the taxes.”
Koncz said he would “give Bob Arum the courtesy of a call and if its true its Schaefer messing around then I’ll probably give Al Haymon a call and make sure he’s on the same page as us. I believe he is because I know Floyd doesn’t want to pay the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) any more than he has to and then its time for us to put our foot down. The promoters work for the fighters, the fighters don’t work for the promoters.”
Koncz added "the bottom line is Manny’s preference is not to fight in California and I haven’t advised him not to do it for tax consequences which is an 11 percent tax plus I haven’t confirmed the amount but there’s an additional special athletic tax for foreigners who take part in sports in California.”
Koncz said he and Pacquiao were leaving for the fighter’s hometown of General Santos City on the early morning flight and would be back to do a voice makeover for his latest movie for Solar Entertainment – ‘Wapakman’ for two days. “

You dumb *****...lol You ***** ass tranny *******s are the one saying 10oz.. you cant believe your god lost a fight.. He ****ing lost with winning gloves 8oz bitches.

 

The Staples Center is owned by the company that basically owns Godlen boy - thats AEG.

 

he's a fraud and a coward i tell ya. he aint about to change his colors now

 

oh ok. thanks :good

 

doesnt matter what your story is... cus neither fighter has a problem with fighting in vegas,

but we still have one major problem...

'someone' hasnt signed yet..

 

take it easy, this is just an internet forum. no need act tough :smoke

 

pacman is the worst fighter ever,,, he lost fights wearing 8 oz gloves u know? :deal

 

Here is an ESPN article about that first fight with Morales. If you notice, they contininually mention how Pac wasn't able to pick the brand of gloves. Nowhere is it mentioned that 10 oz. gloves were used.;

Yeah but they're not designed for punchers and the reason there's two different styles is self choice, some fighters want to avoid hand injuries because they know it may happen and others don't. Still the first fight with Morales was unfair with the gloves, Murad screwed them right there in the face because he knew they would ditch him. All promoters do similar stuff to fighters that are set to leave their stable whether verbally or physically like this one.

 

Mayweather's just being Mayweather. He likes to milk tension for all its worth. Bob Arum's probably sweating a bit. Which is probably a plus for Mayweather.

If he does want any changes made to the contract then he's an official puss.

Anyone actually know what weight the gloves are in the contract?

 

point is learn to tell the ****ing truth, not just that half the fits your agenda ..

 

the truth is 'someone' still hasnt signed ****..

thats the real agenda
