San Francisco, CA- While chatting with Larry Merchant on the Sunday edition of ?Ring Talk Worldwide,? the Godfather of HBO Boxing said that, ?There has been no back and forth negotiation between Floyd Mayweather. Manny Pacquiao and Bob Arum have been negotiating with themselves.?
BOB ARUM BEING DISINGENUOUS DISINGENUOUS
In other words, it appears Bob Arum has been disingenuous with the media again. The man whose epitaph should read, ?I was lying yesterday, but today I?m telling the truth,? his actual words. You see When we kept hearing Manny had signed, a source on the inside told me, ?It?s a double swerve. Arum is trying to create public sentiment against Floyd to force the fight. Telling people that 60-40 had been agreed to, it was all bulls*it.?
LIKELY MAYWEATHER-COTTO II PREDICTED WEEKS AGO
While linear middleweight (160 lbs.) champion Miguel Cotto has kept Canelo Alvarez tied up in negotiations, Cotto?s people are said to be trying to make Cotto-Mayweather II. If you saw the first fight, think of a slightly more polished Marcos Maidana in Cotto, who wants to cash in especially against somebody that can?t hurt him.
MAYWEATHER WILL BE IN AUSTRALIA
Floyd has said he will be in Australia at the end of January. To that, Anthony Mundine is saying Mayweather and he ?might? fight. I don?t know how bad you want Mayweather to fight anybody when his fights are about as exciting as a fully clothed porno. There is no ?Money? shot in Mayweather?s films?er fights.
FLOYD NEED RETIRE OR MEET ?GGG?
And while Floyd has been jerking fans off, it is not nearly as long as his former promoter Bob Arum has. None the less, unless Mayweather wants to fight Gennady Golovkin (31-0, 28 KOs), I will consider him nothing more than a verbal exhibitionist.
NOTHING EXCITING ABOUT MAYWEATHER?
With his fights losing money left and right due to Showtime?s signing him to a contract sans any dollar amount, the Viacom boardroom types that thought the deal was bad at the start, they are now calling out VP Stephen Espinosa, the man who structured the Floyd-Viacom Cable pact.
