      A reporter heard from a guy in the Pac camp?

      If anything Arum would be making it known they came down not ONCE but TWICE.. to make them look better.

      We never heard any of this, from the mediator in the negotiations or from anyone else.

      Lets also not forget Floyd came UP 14 days... and Pac came down only 6. Or if you want to buy into "the guy who told the guy"... then 10 days.
      Like I stated I didn't really buy into it either. The way Arum and Roach like to talk it would of came out a long time ago.

      But, I blame both sides for the fight not going down. I think everything was going smooth until Schafer blew off the meeting with Jones. And, Arum getting pissed and started with crazy demands.

      However, there is no question that Pac team handled this horribly. And, there is no excuse for them to handled it this bad. Arum has been in the game for decades he should have a better PR team. They should of done a better job.

      But, IMO both sides were at fault.

                  Alrighty...lemme repeat what I said.

                  Yeah, usually money is the bottom line. Which is what makes Pacquiao-Mayweather's stalled negotiations so...damning.

                    Sure. We are arguing whether it was justified and we are arguing why Floyd-Pac fell apart.

                      Lol. I woulda bought that **** too. There was some unfinished business there. Plus with the first fight being so boring, Oscar woulda came out swinging.
