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

[madsweeney]

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.

Things were going smoothly until Schaeffer blew off the Cowboys stadium

yup.

you noticed that too huh?

mgm grand has closer ties to golden boy.

arum on the other hand has mutual friends with jerry jones.

throw out the drug testing and mayweather not allowed to shoot up his hands in texas......

i think the site could have been the issue that blew this thing up.

[MindBat]

Let's not forget Arum was the only one setting up deadlines to call the fight off, then continuing with negotiations.

Manny is to blame for never stepping out in the media to shoot down his needle phobia statements.

[ИATAS]

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.

Sure, all sides are to blame, including mayweather's.

It took them all to **** this up.

Hopefully though, they can make up for this huge blunder and fight at the end of this year. All will be forgiven forgotten if they do.

i don't even think manny was the one that started the needle phobia statements. i think it might have been koncz. not sure.

Ultimatums never work and Mad Bob was throwing them around....and he went to the media first complaining about the stadium issue!

[Vasyl’s dad]

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.

Two weeks may be reasonable,


but there isn't a need for the test in the first place.


The reason this fight isn't happening, is the same reason why Floyd vs. Margarito, Cotto, and Shane never happened.


Floyd never wanted it. He only wanted to create the illusion he was tough enough to take the most challenging fights.

His resume at 147 says otherwise.


Now, if he didn't have the history he does at 147,

nobody could really question his motives.

But as it stands,

Pacquiao is facing another top 5 welter in less than a year,

while Floyd, in the five years in the division,

has avoided them.

Exactly,

"take this fight with the blood testing or I won't fight".


Whos scrambling for an opponent now?

[Sox8055]

whether your a floyd, pac, or neutral fan of boxing, this is a no brainer.

Arum wants to keep all his milk and cows to himself.
