Criticizing Arum for talking through Greenburg is just plain ******!!!!!!

[Wet Bandit]

I'm not a big Arum fan. Mainly because of his ****ty undercards. That being said, I don't understand the criticism for using Ross Greenburg(the President of HBO Sports) as a mediator. They were dealing with Al Haymon. He is Mayweather closest business associate. He negotiates all of Floyd's fights. IMO its better they had a mediator because direct talks could get personal like last time. It was wise to have Mr. Greenburg as a tension breaker. Also, what's with the argument that shame on Bob for not calling the Mayweather camp directly. I haven't heard the Mayweather camp picking up the phone to call Bob. In fact, the Mayweather hasn't talked to anybody for months. The last public statement Floyd made was about his possible retirement.

Arum is to blame for getting everyone's hopes up by saying the fight was almost done when Mayweathers team had agreed to nothing.

Oscar said too. Floyd just need to grow a pair.

GBP said the same thing too, and Al Haymon did not say anything to Greenburg that there was any issues with the TR proposal...so the one who's to blame is the same guy who said the fight with Manny is on as long as their is RDT protocal...sooooo

you can't negotiate with the mediator thats just ****ing ****** Arum never talked to Goldenboy or Mayweather promotions we only know that supposedly Greenburg was keeping touch with haymen they never were at the table terms never was agreed on and no progress has been made

in laymen terms no negotiations took place with Mayweather camp

He's not negotiating with the mediator, he's negotiating through the mediator. If Mayweather's side had problems with the terms Greenburg would tell Bob immediately. You know how much money HBO would make off this fight. The mediator was the right way to go because things got very heated last time. This was the most sensible way to make this fight.
