Roach: "If they give me a 5 DAY WINDOW...."

[AIR_KENG]

It's called negotiations, and compromise. Floyd has now made an extended compromise in the final days to GET IT DONE. This is business, this is how it goes.

And if you know anything about business, you would also know that a negotiation has a beginning and an end. Many considered the mediation talks as the last chance to make the fight. If you really wanted to issue a press release, you should have made it even before the talks started, not after it's finished.

This is like an auction, you can no longer bid once it is sold. Floyd was a little too late. Maybe later this year?

Someone post this on Espn.com conversation boards so ox eating Dan Rafeal can see it.

reed is NOT known as a Floyd fan and bashes him a lot. It's pretty telling that he's on Floyd's side here.

They don't understand that because they are the real nuthuggers. Therefore anything anyone says contradictory to their beliefs makes that a person one as well in their eyes (for the wrong guy).

There is still time to get the fight done. You don't throw away the biggest grossing fight in the history of the sport because "uhhh bidding is done".

No, Bull****.

The press conferences were originally slated to be scheduled for next week, and as Dan Rafael has backed up, they still have today and tomorrow to finalize things.

"Time isn't up".

A more than reasonable compromise has been made by the Floyd side, and there is still plenty of time to oblige.

This isn't an "auction".

I have pretty much kept myself 110% in the middle between the two. If I feel someone is treating Pac unfairly in a post, you will find me defending Pac. If I feel someone is treating Floyd unfairly in a post, then you will find me defending Floyd.

I have flip flopped back and forth on whose CURRENT fault it is for the fight not being made. And, I think that's the way it should be, the way the news has been released the last 6 weeks, it has gone back and forth IMO.

As of right now, Floyd just made an offer that is 110% acceptable.. and more than anything I want the fight to be done.

So the onus is now on PAC.

I agree...

Who are you kidding? You're biased as ****.

Who cares what you think?

Funny how you guys blast Arum for his credibility. Now suddenly team mayweather is the most credible? 1st of all Roach isn't the promoter, understand that. When this 4-5 day cutoff was said, what was the only thing you heard from Ellerbe & Shaeffer? "random is random" "why is he scared of the test", etc etc. Why not jump on the 4-5 days then? Bottom line theres snakes on both sides, proven hypocrites.

Better yet, why not make the 14 day offer publicly before mediation? Why was is it not disclosed yet every other aspect of the negotiation was disclosed pre-mediation from venue, to weight, gloves etc??

This one detail was left out pre-mediation and away from the public? You guys are pretty bright if you believe that. Even more convenient that it comes out AFTER floyd is getting blitzed by the American Press on the issue. Hmmmm.

Basically, both camps are playing the psychological warfare with one another, looking for the upper hand. Mayweather's use to winning these games but Team Pac really put them in check with their hard stance. Team Mayweather now knows they have to come off their position which is why they threw out the 14 days.

You guys keep saying 14 days is fair, and I agree...but imho 14 to 24 isn't much of a difference, and looking at the bigger picture Pac has already made a concession to blood testing which he was not obligated to. It's just as easy to say Team Mayweather should shutup and take the 24 as it is for you to say Team Pac should shut up and take the 14. I'm a pac fan, I never agreed that Mayweather should make up the rules, or push pac around, or that pac should concede, or that this testing should even be needed etc. That being said with the 14 day offer now out there, I'd be disappointed if Pac didnt just take it since he's always about the fans.

With all that being said, I truly believe we have a fight announced within the next couple of days.

I was not implying that he was siding with Manny, hence, the negotiation rebuttal. Don't comment on something you clearly don't understand. Try this: Google Reading comprehension.
