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

[Mitch5]

When Bob Arum first set the deadline and said he had a finished contrct he said that He and Golden Boy agreed on terms, Now it is that he negotiated with greenburg and haymon and never spoke directly to anyone in floyds camp. WTF?

[Rip Chudd]

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.

Very true. I think it shows that Arum really wants the fight. As opposed to him saying all kinds of bullcrap to sway public opinion when the first negotiations broke down.

Lol Arum is a smart guy, he knows if he goes negative on Floyd, Floyd will balk at any fight potentially in the future.

Roger's case is nothing more than an excuse, in an otherwise laundry list of them for the past five years. All of the excuses usually were regarding money, so now comes along a potential fight that could earn you the biggest paycheck of your life and also solidify you as a national sports figure, not just a boxing figure and the only thing you have to say is..."hey check out my espy award"....christ.

As messed up as this sounds, it feels like getting blue balls over and over again.

**** this ****.

[spoonwars]

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...

did you hear what arum said before dan rafael came in the second time around? it was hilarious! and then rafael dug deep into arum's skin and arum virtually admitted this is a promotional game. arum used so much damn legalese it reminded how crappy the justice system is

[Check_hooks]

i though floyd said he was in the check cashin bidnezz

what he meant to say was "im in da being a lil scardy cat and ducking business"?

Basically Manny thought a deadline would force Mayweathers hand, and he thought he could dictate the cutoff date for testing, purse split, weight penalties, glove size, and the actual fight date itself...




Epic Fail!

The Roger Mayweather situation wasn't, and isn't the issue.
The issue remains the same...

Take the test as it was designed to be administered, and forget about a 50/50 split. Mayweather was winning fighter of the year accolades while your ass was still beating Filipino cab drivers over seas, and this is fact.

Pride before the fall.

^^smart isn't a word that correlates with you? your an idiot. how would YOU know if roger's situation is or isn't the reason? 14 days cut off isn't worth 50mil? maybe your floyd mayweather with that POS comment.....**** you floyd your a *****!

He has not answered a phone call in 2 months.....how can you support and beleive a guy when he does that?

Why should Arum say anything bad? he has no reason why Floyd doesnt want the fight.

I hate when people say crap like this about professional boxers. These dudes take punches for a living while you work at Kenny's Shoes or Safeway or some bullcrap like that. The world has become very tough behind keyboards nowadays. SMH
