Breaking news Bob Arum is saying no Mayweather fight because they will loose 20 million on gate.and Paquiao said he gave in on 2 demands Blood test and smaller share of purse.
The point is Team been saying Pac has 3-4 more fights left in him, and Arum has options in his stable, so he'll keep dragging this fight out for his in-house fights until, either he's out of option, or Pac firmly states he wants to retire.

they are losing 20 mil. because of a venue that doesn't even exist. arum is really digging deep with that one.
then again why not build a space station and stage a fight there?
i really hopes some reporter will make a special segment on bob and expose his lies which are all but common knowledge to real fans. this segment needs to get actual air time on espn or something. journalist need to stop protecting the guy. he's making the sport look real, real bad.
You seem so convinced...why don't you tell us why, and take the free opportunity to expose the lies......??
Oscar knows shit, Schafer doesn't tell him shit either. This is the same fucker that said on video that Floyd-Pac was almost a done deal when Schafer and co kept saying there was no talks. To the point where Schafer said was misquoted to Oscar saying that he said it as in a "yea yea" type of way.
Actually, apart from lots of other evidence, we know for a fact that Oscar and Schaefer are both liars.
Because......... Ross Greenburg, then head of HBO Sports stated that HE was the person dealing with the Mayweather crowd on behalf of Top Rank, thus vindicating Aum's assertion that in fact there WERE ongoing negotiations. In fact, although all the crazies and racists love to heave garbage on Arum's head, I have yet to see any deliberate lying on his part which could cause such irrational hatred. He's a promoter, and situations change from year to year, month to month day to day, even hourly. That's the nature of ALL business, which the common (very common) workingman, or welfare recipient on this site has no understanding about.
ALSO.......The head of NSAC, Keith Kizer, has stated, which was reported on this site, that he called a meeting which was attended by Top Rank, Golden Balls and Manny Pacquiao. That they all agreed on the terms for the fight, including full OST, that the only one absent was Mayweather, who didn't even reply to the invitation, AND....that he put the FULL blame for the fight not happening squarely on Mayweather's shoulders.
However, I don't think that even these facts and truths will penetrate into the feeble minds of the rabid crazies on this site. Although it seems impossible, unless they are full of spite and malice, or have lost their minds, for it NOT to.

Typical Arum obfuscation. It's clear he wants to keep this cow's teats free for only his greedy little mouth to suckle.
Qui sera sera....
The problem is not that they need time to build the stadium, the problem here is that this thing has been like this for over 2 years! Now Mayweather Jr is going to jail in June and they say that Pac is going to fight in June when he was likely going to fight in May.
Now they say this crap about the stadium knowing that Mayweather Jr is going to have a very tight schedule after going out of jail (in August) and when he gets out they're going to say that Mayweather Jr is going to fight a tune up and that's why Manny is going to fight in November against another boxer.
This is all just a fcking joke.
True... oh well disgusting either way.
Hate to play devils advocate but if they were to use a big stadium (like the one supposedly being built) it would bring more massive revenue, I'd say let them both fight in May/June or w/e and meet up later in Nov. and hopefully excuses like we need to finish the stadium or healing a cut no longer exists.
And I even doubt Oscar knows anything, remember when he said Pac-May was almost a done deal? Then later he said he was joking cause he was sick of people asking him (WTF?). Probably just wants more twitter followers LOL.
Btw Pac taking a smaller share of the purse only makes Arum less satisfied even though he will be plenty paid. Seriously is Arum building a spaceship or something?

Bob Arum does not want to risk his biggest cash cow on 1 big score when he can have him fight conveniently positioned top rank fighters who are no real threat, He will not make this fight until he's milked Pac for all he's worth and all fans are getting tired of the bs.
