If up to now there are some who were undecided on who Floyd Jr. is, they will never know. Not even the latest reason given by them is a guarantee that they are willing to fight. To lie to his fans when he/they said that there was no negotiation going on when there is one as attested by a HBO executive is the gravest mistake they ever made. I am just at a lose of words to find people who can be used as a dummy. That is worse than dreaming.
What's the point of ditching Bob Arum, there is no guarantee that Floyd will fight him.
Basically this is what Floyd is demanding from Pacquiao: If you kiss my @ss, naked, with lipstick on your lips, on video, to be posted on youtube, MAYBE i'll fight you.
Maybe.
As a boxer or fighter, as long as you are willing to compete, you will face any opponent that challenges you. The issue is not the company that promotes you or your opponent's fights. Floyd is so rich that the money he will earn fighting Pacquiao is not the issue anymore. He is just worried that Pacquiao has the potential and talent to give him his first loss and blemish his clean record.
That's the only rational and logical answer that makes sense. But some Floyd fans are way too blind or way too slow to realize it. The whole world already has come to accept that Floyd doesn't want any part of Pacquiao, how about the rest of the Floyd fans?
Same sh!t when it comes to Obama, you know he is F***ING with the economy, and yet people can't see it or just to slow to realize it.
If you are not convinced that the Arum-Floyd/ODLH feud is for real and a big factor in the realization of that so-called mega fight, why is Top Rank and GBP not even pitting their lesser named stars against each other ?
Why is it okay for Pacquiao to decline a fight with Amir Khan for the reason that Khan is with Golden Boy and not okay for Floyd to refuse fighting Pacquiao because Manny belongs to Top Rank? There's some unfair double standard here for some time now.
It's easy for you as a fan to say those things but negotiations for fights involving the so-called boxing superstars now are more intricate and complicated than it was when the likes of Ali, Hagler, Duran, Leonard, Hearns were bigger than the biggest promoters and hence could thumb their noses against the likes of Don King and Bob Arum if those sort of try to control their careers.
Truth is, Oscar and later Floyd just followed this lead and decided to chart the course of their careers, King and Arum be damned!
The question is, when will Pacquiao have the guts to follow the examples of those two highly successful boxing superstars and wean himself away from the clutches of their hated former promoter who is the lone big reason why your so-called mega fight is not happening ?
Pacquiao has not truly been chasing Floyd, not even in a personal capacity. In fact, it was even Floyd who personally called up Pacquiao and offered him $40 million for a fight but Pacquiao once anew vacillated saying that he had to defer to Arum on the matter, prompting Floyd to urge him to "be your own man, like I am my own man".

Look it's obvious, Floyd does not want to fight Manny. I got the hint 4 years ago.
The next thing he will ask Manny is to take a fall so his image will not be tarnished and both of them can collect the proceeds of the megafight, 60 % for him, 40 % for Manny.
@Odlanyer -- the few Mayweather fans like Teodor, Cali-D, and Sean G believe that they are more knowledgeable than the boxing greats like Tyson, Bradley, ODLH, and many more sportscasters who have trashed their idol for cowardice. Time to admit Floyd has no balls when it comes to Pacquaio.
Its obvious, floyd is scared to fight pac...I dont know why he is scared, but he is really scared..

pacquiao must ditch arum to get a fight w/ floyd.... really absurd! a complete BS!!!
arum fu
if its all business for floyd, what does 2006 got to do w/ the present...
he can always get arum after the megafight is over, wack arum or lock him up, whats the problem w/ that???? why use the megafight to get even w/ arum...? its a clear $100M+ in one night, why let go of such money just because you're azz is sore and you cant sit in the same room w/ the man who caused it... i mean really, why call yourself "money" if you are limited?
if pac gives in to this latest caprice from floyd, for the 3rd time,...
is this the last of it? OSDT, fight purse, leave arum....what do you think floyd will ask next?
if pac finally stopped chasing floyd, would you understand....what would you say?
