So do you think Arum is just yapping without any real credibility with all this Malinaggi and Foreman crap?

It's possible Manny would fight somebody else but I keep getting the impression when I talk to Bob (which is daily right now) that he just doesn't want to make the fight for whatever reason. He's very emotional and obsessed with doing something else. But it's good he is not the one negotiating. He's just laying on a beach drinking and shooting his mouth off.

What happened to Arum and Schaeffer's Gag Order? It seems like once these guys decided to posture in the press the fight went from hype city to another possible black eye for boxing.

Telling a boxing promoter to have a gag order is like telling a fish not to swim.

Bob's Tuesday announcement of a new fighter that will be facing Pac on March 13th... yeah, that came and went.

Of course it did because he's full of crap but some people took it as gospel when it was nothing but a typical idle threat.

Deep down they know Pak-Yow does't have the skills to beat Mayweather. He can be outboxed and there goes the cash cow. It's business sense.

Arum is so close to senility/death that he probably doesn't even care about boxing anymore. He's not the guy that should be in charge of putting this fight together.

wonder why boxing sites keep asking him for quotes. he's a lunatic. pac needs to fire him.

it's strange considering how keen he appeared to be at first

The Pacman and Mayweather camps are reviewing a proposal they have come up with on how to deal with this drug testing thing.

Jesus, the status of this **** keeps changing by the second. I think Bob Arum should get tested for Bi-Polar disorder....they should put that into the contract.
