Bob Arum: "Only way Pac-Mayweather happens is without additional testing"

[-MAKAVELLI-]

Eaner and I think so much alike I swear he's my doppelganger. I wanna thank him now for saving me a lot of trouble on this topic and many other topics where I've popped into a thread and wanted to write something and realized he already did it for me.

Reed, I love Roy but he's Most Definitely goin down.

one thing I would like to mention is that for those who thought the fight not being in Texas was at the hands of Floyd are wrong

it was GBP's ties to the MGM holding group that influenced that.

New here, greatest thread ive ever seen on the topic!! lol...looks like pac's team is getting washed up over here though...

I just want to see this fight!!!

[Anabolism]

i just hope an agreement can be made

Why did Arum even say that? It only makes Pac look questionable.

If he would have said better negotiations or something then it would be fine but he keeps making Pac look like he would be dirty.

Floyd does prefer Vegas though. He's said in an interview once that it was because of the casinos so Vegas pays a higher fee. And we all know about Floyd and money.

Maybe...just maybe...

I know this will sound crazy...

Pac actually is dirty?

Arum knows what hes doing, he knows that Mayweather wont drop the tests, all hes trying to do is keep everything in house and make bull**** top rank fights...

no one was out paying Jones for that fight...no one

but I have an admittance from a GBP exec basically stating that MGM leaned on GBP to make the fight in Vegas as it would be much easier to have other fights down the horizon IF the biggest fight of the year was in Vegas

think about it

gate would smoke anything Vegas could do.

Jones was offering more than Vegas

Jones was also offering nothing for the fight other than the money from parking and concessions

the bonanza from this fight being in Dallas would have been far more lucrative than Vegas could have offered

I heard Floyd even said lets look more into this. He was very interested in what the final payout could be in Dallas vs Vegas

it was GBP that balked
