Until now, some people still insist that there really were no negotiations and that Bob Arum simply manipulated people and events all to his advantage. Well, if you analyze things a bit, here's what Bob had to do to get us where we are today:
1. Cause Floyd jr, to keep his shut and not say a word while Bob drags his name in the media for weeks.
2. Made Al Haymon say "no comment" when asked about the status of the negotiations, instead of saying "what negotiations?".
3. Hypnotize dela hoya to contradict himself when asked about the negotiations.
4. fry dela hoya's brain cells so he would perform an EPIC FAIL in defending his recorded contradictory statements.
5. convince ross greenberg to side with him and say that there really were negotiations, in spite of the fact that this would be grossly disadvantageous to him since HBO made much more money with Floyd than with Pac.
I think i'd call him Darth Bob from now on....
Like Borat says in his movie "the Jews take on many forms". (Old Bob does have a cockroach in team Pac. Could it have been a Freddy cameo?)
LOL! Love it or hate it, these negotiations bring out the creative juices out of everyone. :)
Or a 'Seth' dark Lord Jewdi knight.
Heheh. Didn't think of that. Very possible actually since Anakin was a jedi knight AND a seth lord afterwards.
But can you be both at the same time? I'm not a star wars expert so i can't say for sure.
Flomos should never blame Arum for fall out of this fight.
Floyd only fights GBP fighters and his last 4 opponents were all GBP fighters.
I mean how can you blame Arum that Paul Williams vs Mayweather or Berto vs Mayweather already didnt happen?

The sad thing is that some floyd fans are ardent that all of that is the case , that bob arum is the devil and tricked everyone , all the while floyd conviniently hasn't said a word otherwise . Floyd didn't want pac , that is all.
wrong bob arum is much like george w. bush a gorilla gangster who could care less for the common man as long as his paper is right and he does what he wants. bob arum is a great american
