Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[bigjavi973]

Lmao. Oh really? Is that what happened?

They went to arbitration and the fight was called off. Arum immediately began negotiating for another fight...but a week after Arum had an epiphany and changed his mind??? hahahahah. You're a joke.

They went through a lengthy negotiation process in which a contract was fully drawn up, then went to arbitration and called the fight off...and then in a week he said, "You know what? Let's do it." hahahaha. You've disgraced yourself. Log off.

Oh really?

"Both sides agreed to enter into mediation on January 7, 2010, in hopes of coming to an agreement on the blood testing issue. Retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, who successfully resolved a prior dispute between Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, would again act as mediator. Two days later, after hours of negotiating during mediation, Arum declared that the fight was officially off after Mayweather refused to agree to a 24-day cut-off date. Mayweather revealed that he offered a 14-day cut-off date to Team Pacquiao, but it was rejected.

Leonard Ellerbe declared on January 18, 2010, that random blood and urine testing will be implemented in all of Mayweather's future fights, regardless of the opponent. On February 13, 2010, in an exclusive interview with David Mayo of The Grand Rapids Press, Mayweather said, "I gave him [Pacquiao] a chance, up to 14 days out. But my new terms are all the way up to the fight. They can come get us whenever, all the way up to the fight, random drug test. That's what it is."

now say Im making this up.

Where does it say that Arum came back a week after the mediation was over to accept 14 days???

All you showed was a statment made about any future negotiations.

You are putting yourself further into a grave, homie.

You said he agreed one week later. I don't see anything about that.

What you show is that A MONTH AFTER ARBITRATION WAS OVER, Mayweather said Pac refused 14 days, and that's now off the table for future negotiations.

So when did Pac agree? You tell me.

He knows that he got caught in a lie and he's trying desperately to save face, but can't. Don't bother with this dude. He's a joke.

great article on espn.


-confirms Khan as the leading backup plan. Other alternatives include Provo and Matthysse.

-Prince Harry has a group aiming for a Pacquiao fight in UK. Khan makes sense.

-PAC agreed to all the terms. The mediator was Leslie Moonves.

Now this is key.
Arum says he has had direct conversations with Al Haymon on the deal terms. Arum says they are on the same page. This says a lot. Arum wouldnt lie about this as they obviously have had a rocky relationship in the past.

Also mentions.
Haymon as advisor to Khan. However he has no power in turning down a Pac-Khan fight. GBP is Khan's promoter. ODLH is confident that they can make that fight.

Yup everyone is on board including al haymon. It's just that the one fighting Pac in the ring has no cohonez.

Floyd is always quiet in negotiations where have u been? Last time he tweeted pac ko everyone starts crying and calls him a coward. You can't have it both ways

Hey dumbo, everyone is attacking Floyd left and right it's time to come out of his mouse hole and speak up. What's the matter your boy's tongue is in ***** street?

Not a whisper.. Your boy is getting ****d and all he does is hide. Coz we all know he ain't fighting..

Only way Is for us fans to make him come out of his gayass mouse hole.

Man you may possibly kill yourself after Floyd beats Pac. You have been calling him scared for so many years and when the fight is made and Pac gets whooped on you might just commit seppuku.

I'm on record. Want this fight so badly.

This is our super fight.

I also said I'll give Floyd due props if he wins.

I'm a boxing fan starving for a super fight like everyone else who hasn't seen one lately for almost 2 decades now..

This is for the boxing fans. We deserve this. Pac and Floyd are made for each other. I want to see this dance. Sadly one is a ****.

How am I "desperately" trying to save face? Cuz I didn't reply right away? lmao its called I have a life. Also, yes it was my mistake on that part. I ment to reiterate the part of floyd constantly changing his mind on the dates... which is what my original comment stated. I see reading comprehension isn't your strong suite.

Wait, YOU are the one who didnt understand what was written in the article YOU posted but you call out other people's reading comprehension???



Thats rich even for you man...

And by the way, you "point" still does not stand. Floyd originally wanted ZERO cutoffs, agreed to move to days but was still declined, so he went back to his original stance.

Thats not "changing your mind" as you put it. Its called pulling back the olive branch you extended.
