"We're waiting on Floyd," Arum said. "He might not want to fight again this year. If he wants to say, 'See you next year,' there's always next year. But I don't think we can't wait much longer for him to make up his mind because if we do the fight we want to make it as big as we can make it, and that takes time. I think Floyd will give us the courtesy of a response one way or the other. What that response will be, I really don't know.
"That's the fight we want and that's the fight we're in for, but if we can't do that fight there are other opponents."
Koncz and Arum wouldn't go into specifics of the terms on the table for the fight with Mayweather but Koncz said "a 50-50 deal was proposed and there was no argument against it."
Arum has said for weeks that Mayweather's camp has a contract for the fight and that Pacquiao has accepted the terms, including provisions for drug testing (blood and urine) leading up to the bout.

"First of all, that is a July 2010 article for the Poochiao dick riders getting excited and ****. Second, what it does prove is the consistent lies and hypocrisy that come out the Pacquiao camp. Those mutha****as never made any real attempt to make the fight with Floyd, and you know how I know...
Bob Arum told us his REAL plan 5 months before those statements were even made.

Using Floyd's name to sell the sh!tty Margarito fight."

Even if he accepts the 50/50 deal, he still has to accept the fight at the end of May. And that's not cool. And if somehow, Mayweather says he'll fight at the end of May, knowing Arum and his history, there will be more excuses. Even Pacquiao fans can't deny this. When it comes to Arum, you will never be 100% sure.
yep, they ducking. if they were serious they would have no deadline like floyd with his may 5th date. He never placed a deadline and he did reach out to negotiate a deal. Floyd should just agree with the 50/50 split. even with that the fight won go threw anyway. Arum still has old excuses to fall back on.
