Comments Thread For: Mayweather: In My Life, I'll Never Do Business With Arum!

[hectari]

I don't buy this, because the first negotiations Floyd was willing to work with Arum, second negotiations when Pac agreed to drug testing Floyd never said anything negative on Arum or not doing business he just said he was going on vacation.

[sapaw]

Why would any clean person balk at any type of drug testing? Between jumping jobsite to jobsite and probation, I take drug tests all the time. And personally, I've never balked at any of them, or any type because I don't do drugs. So whatever the reason, why did Pac fight against it so hard? That's the real issue, which I really don't wanna discuss because supposedly has been resolved.

everytime Pac resolve any issue about the fight, new one arises from Floyd! hahahaha! like this recent one.. "I'll Never Do Business With Arum!"

so what happened to the take the test, "Pacquiao your Next", "Health and family comes first"?

Take the test
50-50
60-40
Get out from Top Rank
I dont deal with arum.

This is how boxing is becoming its own worst enemy. I admit I don't know what the beef between Arum and Mayweather is, but it is not good for boxing. Promoters need to realize that this behavior is why MMA has such a huge fan base. Dana White controls all in the UFC and fights are made because they are good for fans and the sport. I am confident that eventually MMA will evolve the same way boxing has but, lessons are being given and nobody is listening.

thanks arum for that. as long as mayweather is financially loaded.he won't do business with arum

It's both sides. They both have become super-wealthy because of the fans, yet they each don't push for the fight. Mayweather goes on and on about the money and split and blood testing. Pacquiao never pushes hard for the fight and instead is content to just say he will just fight whoever his promoter puts in front of him.

They're both at fault. If just one of them only talked night and day about fighting the other; obsessively chasing the fight - we might actually finally get it. Or at least could 100% identify who the real duck is.

In a lot of ways, they've ducked each other.

floydiots must be really ashamed right now. :P

no. not at all. mayweather is consistent with where he stands. its not his fault that arum is evil.pac himself had tons of excuses.mayweather has his. so why is it that its mayweathers fault that the fight won't happen?

[hitking]

I don't care who the "A side" is. You don't dictate to your potential opponent who is manager is.

and no, your network example is a piss poor excuse. Show me these other fighters who said, "I'm not fighting that guy because hes managed by so and so".

Its not a piss example because it prevented fights from happening. And I don't have to talk about what a particular fighter said because the fact is, fights don't happen because of promotional issues. You can ignore it if you want to support your agenda. But Floyd-Pac isn't the only fight not being made bcause of the GBP-TR beef. And you, and everyone else accepts it because you're not emotionally invested in the others that aren't happening. That's just fact. Twist it anyway you want to support your argument.

As for the A-side not dictating management? Did you really just say that out loud? Fact is, damn nea Arum's entire welterweight roster have TR contracts because they had to sign multi-fight deals with TR in order to get a Pacquaio fight. Or did that not count as dictating management as the A-side because Floyd wasn't involved. Get your head outta your ass.

BTW, you never answered my other question. Was Donaire ducking Mares when Arum offerd GBP a step aside fee to promote that fight without them. Huh-O, come to think of it. Was that not Arum flexing his muscle having the A-side of the event and dictating what Mares' management situation was gonna be?

[sapaw]

no. not at all. mayweather is consistent with where he stands. its not his fault that arum is evil.pac himself had tons of excuses.mayweather has his. so why is it that its mayweathers fault that the fight won't happen?

yeah right... "Take the test and we have a fight...", "Pac you're next" Health and family first" etc

remember about "Catchweights"? lol!

[IMDAZED]

i don't care if arum continues to rob manny or even if he ****s jinky infront of manny. all i care is this fight between floyd and pac to happen.


now go tell your favorite fighter to grow a pair and be a man.

Sounds good. Hopefully Manny doesn't re-up with Bob next year although I'd be more concerned that he'll probably lose again.

Mayweater tried to do business with Arum. They offered 50-50. $40m. Now the tables have turned and the days of being nice are over. Manny's going to take the very short end of the stick and his promoter has got to step aside. No? Good luck then.

[ADP02]

Naw, people know this. Well, rational people do. They like to pretend they dont know this though.

Sorry but Floyd fans are NOT rational here. Yes, one can change their minds but after a while you need to call all of this BS!!!

Floyd said "All Manny needs to do is take the test and we have a fight"
Floyd said "MANNY you are NEXT!!!"
and so on ....

Now think rational for a second while remembering what the poster that you agreed to said:
Now Floyd fans are giving OLD excuses as to why Floyd doesn't want to fight Manny!!!
- Arum owes Floyd money.
- Arum disrespected Floyd back then.

So those are old grudges but you are contradicting yourselves by saying that "due to changing circumstances, Floyd changed his mind and TODAY he no longer wants to do business with Arum" ..... WHAT????

So if you really want to discuss rationally, you would be the first to call out Floyd BS!!!
