    That excuse was always a joke. And I can't believe people actually got behind that and continue to get behind that.

    Team Pacquiao has agreed to all terms on more than one occasion for this fight to happen and Floyd continues to duck Pac. It's embarrassing, really.

    It is something else indeed. I find it too hard to believe that even the biggest Flomos truly believe that joke of an excuse.

    Does Floyd think Arum is going to mug him for his purse after the fight?

    Floyd control boxing. Floyd know boxing. Floyd throws his gloves down harder than medieval knights.

    "On Saturday, Showtime Sports Head Stephen Espinoza denied Arum's claim that
    Mayweather is holding up the finalization of the fight
    . Arum says Mayweather is
    refusing to green light the terms. Espinoza claims the parties have not yet reached
    an agreement on the terms."

    Floyd is the A side, it sounds like Arum is trying to dictate to him. If the fight falls apart, Floyd will be culpable, but he won't be the only one (no matter how Arum tries to spin it).

    I'm tired of this Arum excuse... It's really played out and I never believed it.

    There is one reason this fight has not happened and it's FLOYD MAYWEATHER... He has conjured up every excuse in the book and has made it clear he doesn't wanna fight this guy and it's just clearer and clearer by the day.

    Floyd stands to make more money than him, the blood test has been agreed to, Manny has shown vulnerabilities, even being KO'd by Marquez, whats the issue?

    I think it's just that he simply doesn't wanna fight him.

    Exactly.

    The fact that Floyd fans are STILL trying to justify this blatant duckjob is insane.

    It's possibly the most blatant duckjob in boxing history, between two elite fighters anyway.

    REED just Heard Floyd on a Sirius Hip Hop Radio Station Yesterday, & LITERALLY Turned the Station After Hearing his Lame, Tired, Played Out, PARROTED Ass Responses Going Unchallenged...


    (Paraphrasing) "First, we Gotta Look at How Many Pay-Per-Views Pacquiao Selling, and I Think he Only Did 300,000 for his Last Fight...Another Problem Is Pacquiao's PROMOTER...His Promoter Tell Him When to Fight, Who to Fight, How Much to Fight For, but Not Floyd Mayweather...Floyd Mayweather his Own Boss...Floyd Mayweather Didn't Get Knocked Out in 1 of his Recent Fights...Floyd Mayweather Still Ain't Been Beat...With or Without Boxing, Floyd Mayweather Gone Make @ Least a Million Dollars Every Year, for the Rest of His Life...Floyd Mayweather Got 3 Bugatti's...And it's Not Even About the Cars or the Money...The Money Team is about Being 'Rich at Heart'...I Want this Fight for the Fans, but Business is Business..."

    Especially on a Hip Hop Station, the Interviewers were Instantly Enamored w/Floyd Performing Materialistic FELLATIO Upon Himself & the Boxing Portion of the Session DIED...This is the ACT Floyd's Resorting To, to CASUAL Fans...

    If Pac, Really, REALLY Wants this Fight, he Needs to FULLY Shame Floyd...Sure, Pac's Done a Commercial, Sent a Few Tweets, but he's Gotta Go Even Fuuuuurther....If Floyd Fights ANYBODY Else on May 2nd, Pacquiao Should Sit RINGSIDE...Get IN the Ring Afterwards, Go the Post-Fight Presser, ALL of that...

    He's Got to Get Floyd to a Point where his Nutriders are Saying "Dog, You Have MORE than Enough Money...You Gonna Let this Motherfucker EMBARRASS You @ your Own Fight???..."

    It's Faaaaaaaaaaaaaar & Away THE Most Blatant BIG FIGHT Duck Job in Boxing History...


    NO Contemporary Fighter has EVER Neglected Such a HIGH PROFILE Event, Against a SMALLER Man, Replete w/EVERY Possible Negotiating ADVANTAGE @ his Disposal, yet PASSED on that Particular Opponent the # of Times Floyd Mayweather has Balked @ Facing Manny Pacquiao...

    Honestly, it Goes Against EVERYTHING a "Fighter" Is Supposed to Represent, Inherently...Hell @ Least in the Days when Elite Black Fighters WEREN'T Getting Title Shots, it was for Presiding SOCIETAL Reasons, as Opposed to Sheer COWARDICE...

    Say What You Will about Ray Leonard, but he FOUGHT Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran, Marvin Hagler, Wilfred Benitez...Muhammad Ali FOUGHT Joe Frazier & Ken Norton (After LOSING to Them 1st No Less), FOUGHT George Foreman when the ENTIRE Boxing World Feared for his Life...DeLa Fought Quartey, Trinidad & Hopkins when it MEANT Something...

    Floyd's DISGRACING his Own Boxing Talent by Repeatedly DUCKING Manny Pacquiao...It Saddens AND Angers REED, Simultaneously...

    the head of SHO Sports doesn't know what he's talking about, Arum is 100% telling the truth (because he's known for that)!

    IBtimes is ridiculously biased for Pac, btw.

    Floyd's utterly blatant duck job is baffling.

    Especially when most everyone thinks that he'd probably win if the fight happened.

    It doesn't make any sense.

    I hated Oscar as much as anyone and even I have to say as his career went on his level of competition went up not down.

    Floyd's done the opposite. he's a disgrace.

    I'd be curious to know (and Arum would never reveal this) how much money Top Rank makes from having Manny's fights in China. There must be a shit ton of money in the Asian market. If this is true, that shows the stupidity of Floyd harping on US PPV numbers. That's precisely why Hatton wound up making more money than Floyd despite having a lower guarantee. Hatton had a smaller US PPV cut while Floyd got none of the UK PPV money.

    Seems like I recall reading that Hatton was guaranteed $10 million to Floyd's $20 million but picked up $10-$15 million in UK PPV money. At the time Mayweather-Hatton was the best selling UK PPV event at 1.2 million buys. Not sure if that still stands.

    I have been saying for years that pac needs to call Floyd's mom a hoe and just repeatedly insult her and dare Mayweather to do something about it.

    Actually this is a historic meeting because if they never fight, this will go down as the ONLY occasion they faced each other!

    If they fight in May, they'll probably announce it at the Super Bowl.

    Their other fights aren't doing the numbers they did before, people are fed up.

    Showtime may be putting the pressure on Floyd like they did after the Guerrero fight.
