"When we have their final proposal, Manny will make the final decision. He will be the master of his own fate on this. "--PACMAN PROMOTER BOB ARUM, speaking from Mexico.
........
Meanwhile, Arum said his high-priced, high-profile attorney Daniel Petrocelli, who took former football superstar OJ Simpson down in a civil case, has sent legal letters to Oscar de la Hoya and his top executive, Richard Schaefer, concerning a lawsuit filed on behalf of Pacquiao.
Arum said Pacquiao “is an angry young man and I don’t blame” regarding allegations from the Mayweather camp about the Pinoy Idol being a drug cheater.
“Oscar, I know who he is, I know he is lacking in substance, but I am more surprised at Schaefer. I thought he was smarter than that. I didn’t think that Schaefer would sell out his soul for the fee they get from Mayweather but he has.
“I have been absolutely revolted by their conduct on this issue. I call Schaefer, the blood testing expert, Dr, Strangelove, now. I guess they both have so much hatred about how we’ve been able to help make Manny the icon he is today.”
Arum said he sees a very winnable money damages case against Oscar and Schaefer.
“Schaefer denies calling Manny a drug cheater in a conversation with a Filipino writer (Ronnie Natahznielsz), OK, so that is a question of credibility,” Arum said. “But Oscar’s charges come right out of his own blog on the Ring magazine website. He wrote that under his own name, that alone is enough to take legal action.”
Arum said “no amount” of money can restore the damage to Pacquiao’s name and athletic credibility.
What issues remain on the table, as yet undecided".............................
Finally, Wily Uncle Bob sees a chance to pry the hands of the Golden Boys out of the pockets of Pacman.
ah now its arbitration time, "What issues remain on the table, as yet undecided..." arum will go for the kill, void the co promotional rights of GBP over Pacquiao. he will claim that ODLH group are not protecting the welfare of their client and on the otherhand undermining it. its all about business with wily bob after all. unfortunately for GBP their stupidity will not only cost them what little credibility they still have but also a lot of money.
bam!!! i told you so...
now that the case is filed, arum is only waiting for the other party to reach out for a compromise agreement. the case is automatically for rescindment of the co-promotional agreement with GBP. pacman is a client of GBP, based on that agreement, instead of protecting pacman theyve done otherwise with the accusations/insinuation of illegal drug use. the filing of the case is not only to protect the honor of pacman but now it is to shake off parasites like the GBP. arum is now licking his chops
I don't care if GBP has 10 hands in Pac's pocket, just wished they would let go of all this testing crap and get the deal signed for march..
We all know that this is just hype.. i mean who has ever asked for this ??
thats why it is now more reasonable to expect the fight will push through after a hasty compromise agreement between golden boy top rank pacman and floyd. the court case will make this fight happen. and gbp will be force out of pacmans co-promotional agreement with top rank. brilliant isnt it?
