A lot of people seem to deflect the blame to arum for blocking the fight. Now granted arum can be an idiot but the man has been a part of a lot of mega fights. Arum is in the business of making money.
What I wanna know is how is he blocking the fight? Is he making unreasonable demands? and if he is anybody know what it might be? Is he just flat out rejecting all the offers from mayweather's team?
He's been very vocal about being open to the fight while mayweather always seems to be against it yet people still say arum is blocking the fight? Like how is he blocking the fight when he is in negotiations and he stands to make millions if it goes through.
Not sure what the issue is this time or if there even is an issue. I dont understand though why Arum and Team Pacquiao are going all over the media claiming Mayweather is holding it up when they know the networks are still negotiating.
Simple Arum dont want to be on the B-side, if he was A-side he wouldn't be blocking the fight and fooling the media. When it comes to floyd ppl forget the POS Arum is. Arum will make the fight happen but on Arums terms only.

Manny was in the media saying he agreed to Floyd's demands. Floyd responded by saying Pacquiao has a boss, he has no say.
We can deduct from Floyd's response that an offer was made and Pacquiao agreed. Floyd could have said no offer was made. Instead, he got angry that Pacquiao accepted what was probably designed to be an offer they figured Manny would refuse and that is why Floyd Mayweather's response was a deliberate attack on Pacquiao rather than a simple comment on the state of affairs.

because arum don't want Floyd style level playing field.
Arum wants arum style level playing field.
Yeah man. According to Todd DuBouef, Arum's son in law, they saw Arum has trouble getting passed Floyd's defensive shell. To make matters worse, they also say Arum loses his patience against pot shotters and has been known to get emotional and start biting the turnbuckles and jumping off the top rope
There's a thing called protecting a fighter to maximise earnings
Now that manny is at the tail end of his career, that doesn't exist
Even if he loses, they can rematch for tons of money
The fight won't be one sided
C'mon, stop making excuses. You said, Arum makes the biggest fights but when he didn't make Lopez Vs Gamboa and didn't allow Mares Vs Donaire, you make an excuse for it.
Lopez/Gamboa and Donaire/Mares never got put together because Arum couldn't find a big enough arena to stage such massive events. Rumor has it that Jerry Jones offered Cowboys stadium but Arum was worried that it would sell out in hours, and the people who couldn't get tickets would riot and destroy the state of Texas
Arum is a scapegoat cuz floyd "fans" need someone to blame
Its a fact that Arum called and met Les Moonvese to make the fight. He obviously wants this fight to happen and anyone who thinks otherwise is blind
