It's all done!

The fight is going to happen, I have a pretty good source and it looks like it will be in Vegas, the split will be different in order to compensate for the drug test dates. the actual split comes after(ppv sales) the initial purse which is 50-50. Nov 13 is an open day or dec 4.

The fact that Arum is actually positive this time around about the fight happening is a good sign. Last time around, you never heard Arum say anything positive about the fight after it started to fall apart. It was almost like he did not want it to happen. Now, it seems like hes trying his hardest to get it done.

Your sig reminds me of the boy who cried wolf. People are not trusting anymore after what happened last December.

Why do we have to keep reading the same regurgitated crap over and over? Is the press (in general) that desperate to hear "optimistic" and "hopefully" or is it simply to keep re-stirring the same damn pot, which then creates more of the same regurgitated crap on message boards? It's beyond 'getting old' now, and this isn't "news".
I'm sure if there was some actual newsworthy information either GBP or Top Rank would contact the press.

Thats what hes telling us, you just cant trust people like arum.... They have been around to long and prey on peoples feelings and instincts. What may sound like a sincere effort could be bull**** when dealing with ARUM, these guys are not like normal guys.

THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT, I HEARD FROM A reliable source that the fight would be mid november. I also beleive that arum is just saying this to keep people occupied while the fight is being negotiated smoothly.


PACQUIAO IS ABOUT TO RETIRE AND ARUM NEEDS THAT BREAD FROM HIM.
