Comments Thread For: Arum Reveals All on Mayweather-Pacquiao Negotiations

[rogdogx]

I will not buy a Margarito or Cotto PPV. I would buy a fight with Bradley, Berto, or Williams but not this trash.

What did he say about the drug testing?Did manny agree to take blood
test all the way up to the fight?

Nope. All he said is that he hasn't heard anything from Floyd's side and that they will go forth with their plans to cherry pick a title at 154.

[King Ju-Ju]

but then again what was stopping them from answering calls or emails? was it hard to say that they have a big problem regarding Roger?

you right, all mayeathers camp had 2 do was say the problem is regarding roger and his trial. all this deadline crap could have been avoided. but you know these divas just wanna have us fans talkin about it 24-7.

Lol I voted for Tim Bradley on the Top Rank poll and he actually won the poll by a comfortable margin. But Arum is basically saying in a nice way that Bradley is a nobody.

I voted on Bradley as well, but Arum said nobody's getting a "free ride" and bank off his company's promotional work. The other side has to do their share in promoting their fighter, if they're going to make their expected share of the pie, according to what what he meant.

This was a waste.The only thing Arum admitted to was not having ANY negotiations between Floyd-only Ross Greenburg, who doesn't negotiate contractual terms or requests between Manny and Floyd in the first place.

Arum was constantly trying to suggest that Rodger is the problem (even though he hasn't spoke to ANYONE).
Arum also publicly steered Manny away from 2 people who have called him out-Williams and Bradley-2 guys who would make Manny struggle compared to Margarito and Cotto.

This was all a sham...

I'm not a Mayweather fan myself (although I appreciate what he does in the ring and I don't think there's a better boxer) I think this straight silence from his team is crap. I see his fans lobbying for him constantly on this site and feel that he's just leaving them hanging. Just shows that he doesn't care at all about his fans.

The Fact that it was Al Haymon "negotiating" and not Shafaer or acutally Floyd himself shows Floyd didnt want it.

A person that truely wants the fight aleast sends the promoter of GBP

For everyone who has been ripping Arum, he sounded pretty classy and understanding about what could prove to be a very big obstacle in signing this fight.

it's all a conspiracy.. roger choked that ***** on purpose so the fight didn't happen this year

He didnt blame FLoyd for anything, he just said what he thinks is the reason hes not answering his calls for 2 months.

But what if Roger is found guilty and gets put away for a year or 2? What then

Top Rank CEO Bob Arum held his conference call to announce the outcome of the Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. negotiations for a November 13 showdown in Las Vegas. A proposal was sent to Mayweather a few weeks back. Mayweather was given a July 16 deadline to approve the deal. He never responded.

Im pissed at both parties. Im pointing fingers at Manny and at FLoyd. First thing first, Manny should've accepted this bull **** back in jan for a March show down, but it didnt happen. Now their back at it again and Floyd is quite as a church mouse...what the ****...I uderstand the gag order but if their talk he should too. Im also pissed that Bob is trying to get floyd to sign when he feel that his uncle may do sometime in Aug..well why not wait tell Aug and push the fight to december???



**** Bob, **** FLoyd, **** Pac....**** boxing....Goodnight...
