Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather Has Until Mid-July To Accept The Deal

[damned1974]

Sounds funny to me....if BOTH Manny and Floyd accepted these terms,then there should be no problems.

On the other hand,Arum is making it sound as if they made a "take it or leave it" contract instead of true negotiations.I won't be surprised to hear Floyd dispute the contract because nothing was NEGOTIATED in the first place.Probably the old contract offer just re-written....we'll see.

Uh, mid July?

Just as I thought. The fight will be announced after the World Cup.

Morons here would rather keep arguing about dumb crap than seeing Floyd and Manny fight.

WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!! THE FIGHT WILL BE ANNOUNCED AFTER THE WORLD CUP WHEN PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD ACTUALLY CARE!!!!

Is that what Bob told you or is it Richard.. ?

Bob Arum is selling you guys a dream Floyd won't accept 50/50

These are the two top fighters in the world, the top being open for debate.

If Floyd doesn't accept 50/50, then he doesn't want the fight, period.

Manny and Floyd aren't Top Rank and Golden Boy. Not much else to clarify bro. Happens all the time where the promoters agree but the fighters balk.

Aww man, I would hate for this to be the scenario.. Floyd looks at the contract and says HELL NO.. SMH

I think that even if Mayweather signs tomorrow, it wont be announced until mid-july anyways.

Honestly this fight already has the worlds attention. I dont think the revenue would matter if they announced now or even after the World Cup.. It would actually be good business to throw in some promo commercials in between the World Cup games..

But really, this fight is as hyped as it can be so announcing now rather then after the world cup wouldnt really matter at this point..

So Floyd agreed to 50-50 before just a couple of days he wanted 60-40? This sounds fishier and fishier. Hopefully he really did agreed to 50-50 and it's just not Arum negotiating by him self once again. Even Schaefer said no comment on the negotiations. So far it's been all Top Rank talking about negotiations.

[Mr.Smith]

i just dont understand Arum says everything has been agreed upon yet they still need Floyds nod so obviously everything hasn't been agreed upon

We are talking about Bob Arum right? Can you really believe that guy or any promoter?
