    What did Manny try to start by asking 10 million for every pound over 147???:think

    What was he trying to start with a 50-50 demand despite getting killed in ppv sales:think:think

    BOTH demands agreed to btw.

    What was Manny trying to start when at the last minute..he demanded more than the agreed to split from Hatton:think:think:think

    The Filipino Fraud is full of crazy..weight-obsessed demands.:deal:deal:deal

    Just COMPARE negotiating tactics...Pac is far more difficult to work with than Mayweather,

    Floyd doesn't make guys LOSE WEIGHT.

    Your take is all flawed.

    1. Timeline - Since Floyd did not sign the contract at the deadline provided, this allowed Arum to start negotiations with Margarito and Cotto. Why will Floyd want that to happen if he REALLY wants the fight?

    2. Early Promo - Arum is still giving Floyd a chance BEFORE any contract approval with either Margarito and Cotto even after the last nights timeline has passed.

    3. Direct contact with Mayweather camp - Why? They tried it before. It didn't work. Are you going to talk directly to people who are accusing you of murder? You'll get a lawyer or a judge.

    4. Contract that all agreed on - HBO's CEO already said that a deal has been reached back on June 30. Pac signed the contract. All Floyd need to do is sign the contract. He didn't.

    It's great the they are even giving Floyd a chance to fight Pac even if he is overweight! Think about it. It is a welterweight fight. Freddie said it best. If Floyd is over 147, THERE IS NO FIGHT. I will not let my guy fight a bigger Floyd. It is good that Pac is even giving Floyd a leeway.

    How do you know there was actually a contract?...:nut

    This fight was all but done 6 months ago until Fanny bolted like a scalded dog into the loving arms of Joshua Clottey:rofl:rofl:rofl


    Manny will not fight any WINNING fighters.

    Hahahaha Arum is not brilliant? I bet he's got a huge bank account.
    You guys need to stop. I don't care if pac gets beat up, I want to see this fight.
    If you're not a boxing fan, I can't help that. Stop bitching about Arum!
    I want to see this fight in November 2010!

    Stop bitching about Arum??

    He's known for screwing up fights...especially with Mayweather.

    You on the payroll or something?

    Look Arum is evil personified, I don't care!
    I want to see Floyd beat the crap out of Pac how bout that!
    Floyds fans should want nothing more for that to happen this nov.
    Not in May 2013.

    So I ask you do you want this fight asap?
