    Bob Arum's the reason the fight's not happening

    Schaefer was acting all professional
    Roach was open to a 5 day testing period
    Money was keeping a low profile, Ellerbe also
    Oscar was also laying low
    Manny was in the Phillipines

    Mad Bob was throwing insults left, right and center when he didn't get his way...always running to the media.....

    How can anyone sane work with this old man?

    it's been discussed enough times already and 95% of the time fans agree it was floyds fault. life continues though, it was mayweather who needed this fight for his legacy, not pacquiao. pacquiao has already sealed and secured his.

    now, let's get ready for clottey-pacquiao!!!!!!!!!!!! can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Actually in Lady Fans own thread, most of the board voted (84%) THat 2 weeks is reasonable to make the fight happen. Pacs own (unbiased) fans agreed.

              He definitely didn't do a good job on this deal, that's for sure. If I were Pac, I would be pretty pissed off at him for his actions. But Manny just can't be mad at anyone.

                actually team mayweather started the mudslinging in the media first.

                that said , arum takes a lot of the blame as well.

                arum did not like the idea of golden boy not even considering cowboy stadium.

                arum and jerry jones shares a lot of friends.

                  The main reason is Pac fault, he scared Gayweather away by destroying Cotto too easily. I bet if Pac won an unimpressive split decision against Cotto, there wouldn't have been this ****.

                    a lot of this is manny's fault as well.

                    uncle bob (if he wanted to) could have smoothed things over and got manny to agree to a compromise.

                    however , uncle bob did not want to.
