Bob Arum on Pacquiao-Mayweather fight: 'No more excuses'

I wish Bob would back up all his sht talking by matching up Manny with actual challenges. You just can't talk smack when you are fighting garbage such as "brandon rios" and "chris algiero".

Who really cares about Mayweather vs Pacquiao anymore? The real test for either figher is Khan but it makes sense that they'll take a safer fight and face each other instead. The hype for that fight died years ago, does anyone really care anymore?

Offer is said to be there. Arum will spin the fans. I hope he doesn't but he's a master at it

they fall for the same bullshit every fucking time smfh. Arum expects a phone call how about he picks up the phone and makes the phone call!!!! Clearly Pacquiao isn't going to fight Danny Garcia next Roach can throw around as many names as he wants.. Arum will pick another in house chump! Jesse Vargas is next!

typical build hype up for a floyd fight and then have a big anti climax. Pacquiao vs Jessie Vargas up next they fall for the same bullshit every fucking time smfh.

typical build hype up for a floyd fight and then have a big anti climax. Pacquiao vs Jessie Vargas up next

Have faith in Arum. He said he's gonna make the fight happen by sitting by his phone tomorrow. Smdh On the defense already. Your true flommer colours shining bright as a new penny, king schnuffter!:haha:

What about that stadium, Bob? Jeez, that flommer excuse is embarrassing now. :pat:

What about that stadium, Bob? Have faith in Arum. He said he's gonna make the fight happen by sitting by his phone tomorrow. Smdh

Oh there will be plenty of excuses from Floyd, he's got them lined up already. My bet is that he will try and keep most of the money, that'll be the strategy now as there can be no other excuse. Its all he's got left and the sad thing is that the gay flowmo squad will try and peddle this as an excuse as they have lamely attempted on so many occasions. Just watch...

What about that stadium, Bob? lmao you guys never stop with that sh*t.

What about that stadium, Bob?

My hope for this fight just deflated after reading that article. Arum is really something else.

it will happen, pac has slowed just enough and his reflexes have dulled enough for floyd to want it now. Floyd hasn't even responded and the excuses have already started.

Arum is saying all of this knowing that he has already picked the venue and the date of Pacquaio's next fight against Jesse Vargas. Dude, what don't you get? Arum is all about the money. Obviously the biggest money fight that can be made is Pac Floyd fight. Of course he wants that. Secondly, arum is old and will die soon. He wants some sort of farewell fight before he leaves the planet. A legacy fight. That's the Pac Floyd fight. Arum wants it. It's a fight that will help boxing and it makes so much Benjamin's. Why? Wether Pac or Floyd wins on their first fight. Expect a rubber match. Translates to more damn dollars. Now why does Floyd don't want none of that?

manny gna throw volume to score points. i dont see how floyd gna score on manny. manny gna feint, floyd gna do that pull back to throw that right counter nd BOOM mannys left down the pipe to floyd sticking his head out. OR mannys left reaching over a back peddlling shoulder roll right on floyds eye, floyds not used to southpaws. floyd wont throw enough volume to score points nd cant move laterally enough or has enough power to keep manny off him. right, left, floyds down, good night clown.

"No more excuses?" It's Floyd.

Bob Arum on Pacquiao-Mayweather fight: 'No more excuses' November 23, 2014 5:54pm MACAU ***8212; Moments after Manny Pacquiao's successful defense of his World Boxing Organization (WBO) welterweight crown, his promoter Bob Arum revealed that he will sit down and wait for his phone to ring. Arum, the 82-year old Top Rank CEO, said the much-awaited fight between Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather is just a phone call away after the eight-division world champion dominated Chris Algieri in a 12-round showdown Sunday at the Cotai Arena inside The Venetian here. "People are asking me what will I do after the fight," he said during the post-fight press conference. "With this fight over, I will sit down and answer the telephone. As simple as that. I think the fight should happen and all the non-sense has to cease." The Pacquiao-Mayweather affair has been a raging issue for the past five years. But with the Mayweather camp throwing various obstacles ranging from drug testing to division of the purse, not to mention personal grudges, negotiations have repeatedly collapsed, with both fighters settling for other opponents. And with Pacquiao scoring a lopsided unanimous decision victory over Algieri, Arum said it's now safe to say that his next opponent will be Mayweather in the biggest, richest fight in the history of the sport. "There is no more excuses," he said. "I will sit next to my phone starting tomorrow and wait for a call that will change the course of boxing history. We're all ready. There's no reason not to get it done." Arum, in a statement earlier this week, revealed that a distinguished group of businessmen, led by CBS Corp. CEO Leslie Moonves, is seriously brokering a deal that would put the world's two most popular fighters on the same ring. The negotiation is already in full swing and a deal is expected to be reached early next year with Moonves' Showtime entering into a pact with HBO to co-produce the fight. Mayweather has a standing contract with Showtime while Pacquiao is still under HBO. Pacquiao agreed with Arum, saying that the fight should happen, not for him, but for millions of fans who have raised a strong clamor. "People deserve the fight," said Pacquiao, a slugger who perfectly complements Mayweather's defense-oriented ring tactic. "This fight deserves to happen. It's been a long time. So many people have already been asking for it." Then, as Arum takes back the microphone, Pacquiao butted in and unleashed a dialogue taken from his latest television commercial about a possible fight with Mayweather. "What, he's fighting me!?" Then, he laughed. Obviously, he is happy with the way things are panning out. ***8212; STR/JST, GMA News Arum is saying all of this knowing that he has already picked the venue and the date of Pacquaio's next fight against Jesse Vargas.

it will happen, pac has slowed just enough and his reflexes have dulled enough for floyd to want it now. In the meantime, Floyd is still 24 years old and in his prime.

I really hope the fight never happens, it's 5 years too late. F()ck it. What a dumb thing to say. Haha yeah I really hope the biggest sporting event in history doesnt happen too. I wanna see Mayweather-Guerrero II, f()ck Floyd Mayweather vs Manny Pacquiao. Clown.
