Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Talks Mayweather-Pacquaio Full Transcript

[Vito Corleone]

*****s would dismiss this and simply say that Arum is lying. That's fine, but also consider this, if Arum is lying, then where is Floyd, Ellerbe, or Haymon to dispute this or call Arum on this. My point is that Floyd and his camp have not responded to Arum or even tried to communicate with the media. Maybe in the following days we'll hear something, hopefully good news. I do understand why Floyd wouldn't want to fight right now because of Roger's predicament, but at least respond, if not for him, do it for the fans.

You peasants operate with a different mentality.

Floyd is a boss. Why would he need to say anything? It's like a hot girl who walks down the street and guys whistle at her. Is she going to respond to every one of them?

Arum was not negotiating with ANYBODY. It was not a negotiation. In fact, it SEEMS like he communicated to Greenburg the same "manny would do 14 day testing" that we all read.

The article/transcript clearly said that Greenburg didn't bring any messages back to Arum.

Bob fooled all of you peasants. He is now admitting that he was operating off assumptions and media reports.

For example, he is claiming that he assumed "negotiations" were going well based on what Oscar said...BUT SCHAEFER REFUTED AND RETRACTED WHAT OSCAR SAID IMMEDIATELY. And Oscar said he had been misquoted.

There was never any negotiation.

You may say that the *****s are making excuses. In reality, the peasants were lied to and need to hold Arum accountable.

[Vito Corleone]

Based on this transcript, Arum talked to Greenburg, told him what Pac was willing to accept and said 'Floyd can take it or leave it.' Floyd chose to leave it. I don't blame him. There were no negotiations. This was nothing more than a bullying tactic by Arum. He never spoke to GBP, never made an agreement with GBP and did not negotiated in good faith.

Considering that he has been lying for the last two weeks about having an agreement with GBP, I don't believe Arum when he says that Haymon signed off on the deal. I would bet that Greenburg told Haymon that Arum and Pac were only willing to do a 50-50 split with a 14-day cutoff on drug testing and were not willing to negotiate any further. Haymon took the deal to Floyd and Floyd ignored it. Then, Arum began with all the bull**** about an agreement with GBP and the rest of the crap he has been feeding the idiots in the media and the nitwits on this site.

THIS. Times a million.

damn you *****s are ****in ******. Greenburg acted only as the go between. al haymon was negotiated for crackbaby jr. arum was negotiating for pac.

*****s will do and say anything no matter how perposterous and false to give fraud a reason to duck the fight. you pathetic losers sicken me.

Arum defending Floyd something is not right with this picture

[Carpe Diem]

All i can say is, Arum is a genius.

[Illdil]

this fight killed boxing in a way this fight could easily being made both floyds camp & Pac's camp r to b blamed for this whole movie that they r shooting right now...And of cource Arum would b happy cuz toney/pac/cotto r still there to make the old bastard money.. idk how tony gets a shot at pac after all that **** that he did and Arum proud promoter of this guy still and trying to make a pac v cotto fight what is the use dude???!!! PAC has no bussiness fighting at 154 and if does fight someone he should fight a ligit threat someone like sergio.. and what about these other guys like Timmy, and devon these guys r talented young fighters he will give PAC a real challenge but to Arum they dont have names they dont sell tickets its about this bastard getting money not fans getting to see quality fights

"my friends at the UFC.." when did he warm up to them?

As a PBF fan, I will admit I am disappointed. I'm gonna go ahead and maybe come out as a sucka, but I believe Arum tried to put the fight together. If the Bobfather himself said that he thinks there's a legit reason, it being Roger going to jail and not being there for his uncle. That's cool, because Manny wouldn't enter a ring without having Roach leaning on the edge of the ring and I wouldn't want Floyd to fight Manny, should he lose - to blame it all on the 'well roger wasnt in his corner'. Now, the main thing that has been revealed to us is that Manny is a businessman - meaning he looks where the $$$ is at (and the titles if you will). So the smart thing for the haters and extremists to do is to keep their mouth shut from the whole "may ducked marg, williams" when Pacquiao could fight (marg isnt even fcking rated and that bs about 'taxation purposes' arum damn knows well his boy fcked up), when Pac could fight the number one contender for his 140 lineal championship OR put on a siick fight against williams. But you see how selective and hypocrites you Pac extremists are? Yall talk mad ****, but your boy is doing the same thing. So I'd advice all of you to stop with your 4th grade insults and instead start trying to convince everyone in the boxing world why Margarito is a repented, changed man who is a saint compared to back then and why the hell he deserves a million dollar title shot payday even after what he did disgraced our sport and the sad thing is that some of you pac fans hate marg and talk alotta **** about marg, but will go ahead and support his decision.

Pac will fight when and how Floyd says.


Embrace that.
