Dude that's doesn't answer my question. Did Arum actually say he negotiated with GBP before tonight or did everyone just assumed that he did? I can't find the article at the moment... As for Haymond, didn't he just say that they negotiated with Haymond through HBO?
Last time Floyd did say things, in fact he was all over the place giving interviews and asking why Pacquiao hadn't called him out. When negotiations fell through Floyd's camp said they still wanted to make the fight that Pac knew where to find them, etc. This time. Stone cold silence. Nothing. Even you must admit this is peculiar.
Why do you want to know? He went direct to HBO CEO - the guy at the top of the food chain. Golden Boy are in hiding, perhaps, they already knew nothing is gonna happen.
Thats what im trying to say 'peculiar'... Something is not quite right, theres something fishy going on. I would have expected Floyd by now to make a press statement saying either..... "I have decided not to fight manny pacquiao because of money/roger/drugtesting/location/glovesize/arumsatwat" or "**** fighting pacman he might actually beat me, i'm gonna retire and give leonard ellerbe blow jobs for a year then i might come back if cotto or margo beat pacman"
