    Why is Bob Arum trying to kill this fight ?

    I dont even blame Pac, Roach or Floyd...its all Bob Arum.

    The greedy snake is making another Top Rank vs. Top Rank fight.

    Rather then fight Mayweather.

    This is bull ****.

    No Pac fan or Floyd fan should stand for this ****.

      It's all business. Better to keep the money in-house and pay out less to the fighters than share it with those you dislike, right?

        I don't know if he's scared that Pac would lose because Pac's almost at the end of his career and if Arum really just cares about money, he would allow it to happen. He would obviously be making more money against Floyd than with his own fighter, Clottey.

        Could it be out of spite? I mean, that would be such a ****** reason for this.

            Seems like he was opposed to this fight from the beginning. Maybe its hate for Floyd or maybe its just plain greed. My guess its a little bit of both. I think the thought of putting money in Floyd's pocket makes him sick. I think he would rather make the same money off of Manny with 2-3 fights than give Floyd half of this giant purse.

              It has to be spite....

              I mean 25 you have to agree....

              Roach said on December 23rd that a 5 day cut off is perfect.....

              Then they said no...we want 24 days.......

              Then Floyd said 14 days and Arum didnt even tell Pac??

              Arum is killing the biggest fight of my era..and Im pissed off man.

                Because he wants to milk his cow Pacquiao for more money before losing to Mayweather.

                  Exactly...and its that kind of attitude that is robbing boxing fans of the biggest fight of our era.
