Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao is Still Dead, Says Bob Arum

[jrosales13]

]Arum is an idiot. If he's unwilling to make the fight happen[/B] he'd be killing Pacquiao's career! There is no one I'd PAY to see Pacquiao fight besides Mayweather, no one! They can't be serious about Paulie, Yuri, or Bradley! It doesn't matter if Pacquiao sues Mayweather SR...he lives in a townhome from what I seen on 24/7. If Pacquiao claims he's clean & Arum is saying if the commission mandates it they'll do it. Then the commission needs to step up to the plate! Make the test a mandate! This is a quarter of a billion dollar fight!!! Pacquiao has accomished feats simular to that of Lance Armstrong and even he was dirty! He owes this test to his country, his family, friends and the sport of boxing! Pacquiao prove you're 100% clean! Take the lil test it's like a teespoon of blood dude! Small price to pay for the amount of money you can make off this fight! If Pacquiao doesn't take the random test I'll never watch him again and will always consider him a cheat because what he's doing is saying he's dirty without verbally saying I'm dirty!

I really doubt is Arum bro. Cuz he is not even negotiating bro. He has not been negotiating for the last few weeks. Maybe he just doesn't know what is going on? Cuz I know his stepson is negotiating for Top Rank. From what I read.. Arum got pissed on the way the negotiations were going and just stopped. And, let his stepson take over.

Floyd fu*** everything up.... he doesn't wanna fight. You have other fighters willing to fight Pac right now, Floyd should just fight him and agree to terms.
But nope he wont do it, he'll duck and continue to point fingers.

It seems to me Arum WANTS this fight dead. Pacquiao's camp has been coming up with reasons not to do this from day one, and Mayweather has met their demands every time, no matter how ridiculous.

They wanted March 13, they got March 13
They want a $10 million weight penalty, they got it
They agree to drug tests but with THEIR choice of companies, they got it

I'm sorry, but I can't help but think Pacquiao and Arum are looking for a way out any way they can

*****S are desperate for March 13 fight.

Bob Arum turns Mayweather-Pacquiao negotiations over to Top Rank's Todd duBoe
http://www.mlive.com/mayweather/inde...ther-pacq.html

Schaefer said those talks are taking place between Bruce Binkow, a high-level Golden Boy executive, and Todd duBoef, the president of Top Rank, Pacquiao's promoter.

"Todd and Bruce are trying to work out the specifics of the cutoff to assure the tests are still effective because we know that 30 days before is not effective," Schaefer said. "At 30 days, we might as well not even do it. We want to figure it out [the cutoff window] and I will give my recommendation to Team Mayweather, and they will be on board. USADA is the most recognized one, but if it's another one, like the Nevada commission, we don't really care. I don't care who performs the tests as long as they are performed. That's our position. If this fight doesn't happen it's not because of Team Mayweather."

Telling you Arum probably dont know what the latest details are.

agree with what youre saying but the executive director of the nevada comission already responded. He said they can't mandate the blood tests in time for the March 13th date and it would be up to Arum and GBP to use an independent 3rd party for that part which is where the USADA would come in. But Arum and Pac are scared of the tests from them and refuses it. They obviously are willing to throw away a guaranteed $50 million fight for peanuts to fight yuri, bradley or pauli for a reason. He's hiding something. No one can blame Mayweather for this he has bent over for Arum to make the fight happen. The only thing left for him to do is to say that he will take the tests for Pac.

get ur FACT straight.. it was maywather camp that wanted to fight in March 13 pacquaio wanted to extend it longer because he got some potical **** in the way!

if it weren't for the ****** drug test im sure pac will fight floyd.. pac has a needle phobia and doesnt want to take the test whilst his on training and diet.. but he is happy to take the blood test immediately after the fight.. but NOO.. floyd and his ppl are asking to much..

im sorry but looks to me floyd is trying to find everyway out of this fight.. his legacy and his 0 in his record is too importnt

Bob Arum is a vile human being... Manny Pacquiao is a juicer. Top Rank is a stable full of cheaters. Unfortunately, even at 78, I don't see Arum retiring any time soon, so it looks like it will be this way for a while. On the other hand, Richard Schaefer comes across as a genuinely decent guy, and he seems to handle his fighters, clients, and himself with dignity. For as smart as Arum is, he seems so childish, and comes off as very corrupt. When he leaves boxing, I think the sport will inevitably improve.

I will juice your mom.

I would rather believe Schafer than Arum for a handful of reasons....

[AllEyesOpen]

Bob Arum is only good at matching up fighter that are managed by him, he'll ****ing complain non-stop otherwise.

Wrong, Mayweather wanted the fight in May and Pac cried that he would be involved in politics at that time. Then they proposed the March date and initially Mayweather said no then roach started yapping about mayweather is scared and they will fight on that date with or without mayweather. Thats when yuri foreman's name was first brought up. Mayweather then agreed to the date. Get your info straight before trying to correct people.
