Mayweather tells Arum to contact Schaefer to start putting the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight together
January 17th, 2012
By Chris Williams: Floyd Mayweather Jr. responded to feedback from Top Rank CEO Bob Arum today on his twitter account, letting Arum know who his management representative is to start putting a fight together between him and Arum’s fighter Manny Pacquiao.
A lot of boxing fans saw this as yet another excuse by Arum not to make the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight happen, as Arum has already listed a number of excuses why he can’t make the fight. This was just one more to add to the list.
Here’s what Mayweather had to say to Arum today on his twitter account:
“I’m ready to fight Pacquiao [on] 5/5. Bob Arum knows the date can’t change. I have my guarantee. Call Schaefer [from Golden Boy Promotions] & Al [Haymon] and stop lying to the public.”
Ouch! Mayweather made it clear in plain language who Arum needs to contact, not that it wasn’t already abundantly clear. Arum has to know already who to contact because these guys are the ones Mayweather has been working with for a long time.
Mayweather won’t budge from the May 5th date, so Arum is going to have to work with that date if he wants to put the fight together.
If he says anything other than that date, then he’s basically he doesn’t want Pacquiao to fight Mayweather.
It’s going to be interesting to see what excuse Arum comes up with now. He can’t say he doesn’t know who represents Mayweather now. This doesn’t mean the fight will get made because Arum will likely come back with something along the lines of Pacquiao’s cut not being ready by May 5th, the outside arena won’t be built by that date, and Mayweather might not get his boxing license. If Arum doesn’t want the fight to happen, he can always come up with a new round of excuses or come back with the ones and just plant his feet into the ground and refuse to budge.
I don’t see anything being different in the future. If Arum doesn’t want the fight, it won’t happen I suspect he’ll some other reasons why he can’t match Pacquiao with Mayweather the next time they try and put the fight together later on in the year. Arum and Pacquiao’s trainer Freddie Roach seem to think November is the magic date for a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, but I doubt it. There will always some reason for why the fight can’t be made.

Mayweather is making a Fool out of everyone. He has no intention of fighting Pacquiao. Floyd might be able to beat Manny, but we will never know because Mayweather B Scared.
Hey idiots, by going to twitter PBF is forcing the fight. EVERONE reads twitter. Until PBF went to twitter Arum didn’t even want the fight. Now he has to legitimately try to make this fight happen. I like how you guys are making the fighter who seems to be pushing for the fight most the coward. Let’s be honest and real. Pac has never agreed to take the tests up until the fight until recently. Now he says he’ll take the test and lower money but won’t fight now?
@pac-kill you’re an IDIOT or I hope ur 12!
Mayweather Fight List:
-Pacquiao
Pacquiao’s Fight List:
-Cotto
-Peterson
-Bradley
The Fans Fight List:
-Mayweather vs. Pacquiao
Whoever Manny fights in his next two bouts it won’t even come near the money that he stands to make in one fight with Mayweather and that is without the bigger area. So logically, it doesn’t even make sense what Arum is talking about. Plain and simple, Arum, Roach, and Manny all know that Manny’s whole legacy will be forgotten about after he is demolished by Mayweather. That is what they are trying to protect.
@Jeff41,
Only one way to prove Mayweather is a liar, and that is for Arum to simply call his people. No doubt, Manny is a coward.
Who believes liar Floyd?
Look at them big gorilla ravioli eatin lips on Fitty!
arum wants to be sure whos the right person to contact with… so they can’t deny it like the 2nd negotiation.
mayweather fight pac in tweeter only..tweet tweet…
@ wtf
Pacquiao told Bob he wants Fraud Maynever over the 4 on the list what more do you want you dull re-tarded skunk
I guess all roads lead to Pacquiao huh mayweather. It would su ck if pac’s cut opened up during sparring in MARCH and the fight gets cancelled. Real talk
pacquaio does not want this fight otherwise he would demand his promoter to make the fight. what a shame.
this author needs a psychiatrist.
WHO’S THE ONLY BOXING CLOWN THAT FIGHTS HIS MOUTH ON TWITTER?
–FLOYD
TWITTER CLOWN
TWITTER CLOWN
TWITTER CLOWN
FLOYD CAN ONLY FIGHT MANNY ON TWITTER. WHY NOT IN THE RING? ONLY ON TWITTER? COMMON, WE LIKE TO SEE MANNY KOS YOU COLD.

OH MAN, ON TWITTER AGAIN. FLOYD IS TRULY A CLOWN.
HOW DOES MAYWEATHER CONTACT ARUM? ON TWITTER AGAIN?
WHAT A CLOWN.
And don’t use the lame excuse ” he going to Jail in June ” that ain’t May
@ Bignose
What Part of negotiations DO you NOT understand?? RBT is a must for Fruad and he needs to fight in Nevada so he can take his illegal hand injection. So please tell me what is the BIG deal about doing the fight at the END of MAY??
Pac man should be ashamed of himself . Bob is his daddy and what daddy says is what pac does what a little girl . Pac only fights washed up fighters or left overs… If pac is so good test don ‘t matter. Where and when don’t matter get in the ring and knock him .
COME ON PPL,EVERYONE KNOWS THAT ARUM IS TRYING TO CATCH MAYWEATHER FRESH OUT OF JAIL. HE WANTS TO GIVE MAYWEATHER TWO MONTHS TO TRAIN FOR PAC. WHEN PAC WILL BE BUSY FROM THE TIME MAYWEATHER GOES TO JAIL. ARUM NEEDS TO STOP ALL THIS HIGH SCHOOL JIBBER JABBER. YOU HAVE MULTIPLE PROFESSIOAL LAIRS IN PAC CAMP. FIRST BOB ARUM IS THE PROFESSIONAL LIAR OF THEM ALL. ISNT HE AN ATTORNEY, THATS ALL THEY DO IS BEND THE TRUTH AND LIE, THEN YOU HAVE KONZ, HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT HIS CUT WILL NOT BE HEALED IN SIX ACTUALLY SEVEN MONTHS TIME TO HEAL. WHAT KIND OF CUT DID HE GET, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A CUT THAT NEEDS THAT MUCH TIME TO HEAL. AND WHAT KIND OF STADIUM ARE THEY BUILDING. IT IS SO FUNNY, I COULD BUILD A STADIUM BY THEN MYSELF WITH MY EYES CLOSED. ARUM DOESNT WANT THE FIGHT CUZ PAC VALUE WILL BE LIGHT OUR ECONOMY, SHOT TO HELL. WHAT EXCUSE WILL HE HAVE NOW. PAC DOESNT WANT THE FIGHT, HE IS HIDING BEHIND ARUM. ITS GOING TO GET TO THE POINT WHERE THIS FIGHT WILL LOSE ITS VALUE AND ITS ALL CUZ OF ARUM. PUT UP OR SHUT UP ARUM. IF YOU WANT TO TEST HIM, PUT HIM IN THE RING ON MAY 5, DONT USE THE STADIUM AS AN EXCUSE, THEY CAN PUT MORE SEAT AND BUILD AN ANNEX IN MGM TO ACCOMMODATE WHAT YOU ARE CLAIMING TO GENERATE IN SALES. STOP BEING SO DAMM GREEDY. YOUR CASH COW IS ABOUT DEAD.
@Anonymous so you’re trying to say Pacquiao has the right to dodge Mayweather all because of a RBT ? LOL!! Pactards are so delusional.
So what he said it on tweeter, at least he is man enough to say something instead of letting someone speak for him like he is some puppet like Pacquiao is letting arum do for him. Pacquiao is a sissy.
@ a boxing observer
Dig his heels in about what>?
The scared and coward Floyd Jr try to mess up again bcoz Pacman didn’t choose him.You know why?Pacman’s camp is sickened tired of coward Floyd Jr.Same case will happen…all the excuses as expected.Besides,Pacman will choose a good,humble,respectable and no trash talker boxer in his next fight.They deserve to earn big money than the convicted criminal.What do you think?Bwahahahaahaha!
i guess Mayweather has to dig his heels in..
In tweeter again!!!! what fxxxxx coward!!!
pang pang with great power comes great responsibility pang pang
@ Rotsen500
Its Fraud blowing smoke out his @rse as per normal. Trying to stay relevant.
@ Bignose
Like I allready said he asked for Maynever, now Fraud will have to decide how much he wants this fight as it will not happen until late May. And as he is allready requesting RBT Pac has the right to ask for the Date. More so as he went 12 rounds and fought after Fraud.
Floydie was caught lying in public he cannot afford another shameful act. Now Floydie is doing again on twitter so He can easily deny it. lol
Did he just said that again in twitter? WTF Again he will say I never said that, my twitter account was been hacked. LOL
This is not a kids game. If Floyd is serious bout the fight, why tweet, why not advice his people to contact Manny reps or call himself. Do not believe the hype it is all BS.
Pacquiao isn’t baby you know ,he himself doesn’t need Arum to speak for him to make the Mayweather fight.

Where does the LIAR Pinnochio ( AKA Bignose ) get his infomation from?? Last I heard Pacquiao asked for Mayweather above any of the 4 fighters in the short list. Just another typical full of it Fraud fanboy

Okay then if he really wanted to fight Mayweather . He should speak up and tell Arum he doesn’t want to fight Peterson,and Cotto and convince him he wants Mayweather fight. Why do you even play the blind mans paper ?
@Anonymous you are correct . I just want to respond to you pactards because I don’t have nothing else to do. hahahaha!

I want to see Arum Tweets, and say yes, Just like Mayweather twitting. Twitting will not do anything they need to see eye to eye. Let see whats Arum next move. I’ts like chess, everyone has to move until the other is checkmate.
Chop Chop
Coward Floyd is sticking to May 5 is unworkable.
Why he can’t fight late May if he really want to fight with Manny?
Chris you’re as coward as Floyd.

Lol@this idiot..How is Floyd a coward when pacquiao is the one who said he wants Peterson or Cotto . Is Pacquiao really that stupid ? to prefer to fight Cotto (in wich he won’t even get half of the money he can do with Mayweather) than Mayweather ? come on pacfans stop kidding yourselves Pacquiao is a coward.
Where did all the Phillipino fans go? Ever since Juan Manuel Marquez schooled the younger Pacman, all Pacman’s fans have gone under a rock in seems.
@ Bignose
You just commenting without reading posts dum dum.
its clear that both fighters now want to face each other but arum’s greed is getting in the way. if its ok for both fighters not to earn an extra $20M then he should just get out of the way and let the fight happen. both mayweather and pacquiao fans, all boxing fans infact, should join forces to pressure this greedy promoter by putting up a facebook account called “arum dont be greedy and let the pac-may happen!”
Now what Pacfans?? I hope you idiots don’t commit suicide…Pacoward is afraid to even mention the name Mayweather on public . remember the old saying if you can’t beat em join them.
yous are losers for believing this hype
@ Fraud Maynever Fans here
You keep going on about May 5th why not late May? Answer that. And keep in mind Fraud allready has his stipulation of RBT.
Its time to see who is the best see you in May History will be,made
Not a big Floyd fan, he will beat Pac on PED’s.
Coward Floyd is sticking to May 5 is unworkable.
Why he can’t fight late May if he really want to fight with Manny?
Chris you’re as coward as Floyd.
“Arum has to know already who to contact because these guys are the ones Mayweather has been working with for a long time.” … DUMB! … they dont have a long term contract with floyd, each fight is its own arrangment
