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

[Spacey1991]

Last week he said they send a proposal to Mayweather, Last week he said its all up to Mayweather, Last week he said they have agreed a deal to GBP! He took all of you for a MUG...He lied again.

Its this Ross Greenburg thing that has me confused, I get people acting as a mediator and stuff, but it seems like they've both relied on what Greenburg has been passing along. Plus, you are right Arum's story seems to have changed.

I am not too sure about this drug testing issue aswell, he said "I think it was resolved", you think? I mean, how can he say he thinks it has been resolved... either is has or hasn't... so that isn't very reassuring.

I am not pointing the finger at anyone cause I actually respect Arum a bit for considering the Roger issue... and thats saying something cause I lost a lot of respect for him in January... but something just doesn't sound right with these negotiations, it doesn't piece together properly and seems like they made a complete ****ing mess of it and wasted 2 months of people waiting.

To be honest, up until now all seem to be just as bad as each other, egos getting in the ****ing way. I think that Pacquiao vs Cotto would be ****** too, it just seems like a cheap way of getting an 8th title to me... by beating a guy he just destroyed, even though there is a lot of **** about Marg I think that would be a much better fight.

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.

None of us know much and this didn't give us much information, just that Greenburg was acting in between which changes the story completely and all that has been said was "I think everything was resolved" well how can you say everything is confirmed if you can only say you think its resolved? Come on man, theres no need for this ****... none of us know much and it seems like the negotiations have been strange, stop just trying to blame one person for the sake of it when nobody knows what was "agreed" to as of yet... Arum even said he wont go into the complicated stuff about the drug testing... well then we don't know what was supposedly agreed to.

cause arum still wants the fight. there's way too much money in the pot.

but fraud is a ***** made coward. that's all there is to it.

How can people take your thoughts seriously when you call HOF fighters names like fraud, coward and *****? its pathetic.

On top of that, why did Arum make the deadline now knowing full well that Rogers trial is in August? I mean, that makes it obvious that theres a good chance he can't commit so why set a deadline? Just a thought... things just don't seem right at the moment.

The reason Greenburg was used is Arum was hoping pressure from HBO would help in getting the fight signed. I wouldn't be surprised to see HBO blackball FM over this whole thing.

Q: What about the drug testing issue?


ARUM: I don't want to get into specifics, but I THINK that issue was resolved. NOT AS CLEAR CUT as you may be saying it, but I BELIEVE it was resolved.


AFTER EIGHT FREAKIN MONTHS, YOU STILL DON'T KNOW?!?!


Sure, Bob.

I was thinking this might have been the case... but thought that its way too farfetched, they would just find out in the end anyway.

Nah, I have ZERO respect for Arum.. And am pointing the finger at him 100%, Greenburg probably called both camps to see if they want the fight, Both camp probably said yes but am sure Arum laid his proposal at 14 days cut off with 50-50 split to greenburg who probably passed it on to Al Haymon and at that point it probably got shut down on a shredder.

Like Mayweather said in May 1 "OST or we have NO fight" and another thing Arum defending Mayweather is all part of his game.

Yeah, a public company is going to blackball their division's biggest revenue generator.

LMAO @ you. Go read some of Mark Taffet's quotes about Mayweather.

Arum not being angry about this whole thing is the strange thing to me, if Arum didn't care about something going on with Floyd or Haymon he would put them on blast.

He could just have a good grasp on the situation and is being calm with purpose but Arum is a hot blooded guy if he felt wronged I would think he would be acting differently.

Arum is not angry because he wasnt negotiating with anyone, If he was he would be pissed like he was last time in December.
