Totally false. I haven’t spoken to Bob Arum, I haven’t spoken to Michael Koncz.“And as far as people keep talking about Mayweather Promotions, I dictate and control what goes on with it. Leonard Ellerbe is the CEO but everything has to go through me and Ihave to put the green light on any and everything.”
