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

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The purpose of this call is to bring you up to date to all that has happened. About two months ago, just after the Mayweather-Mosley fight, I got a call from Ross Greenburg, the president of HBO Sports, who asked me frankly whether myself and Manny Pacquiao wanted to do the fight against Floyd Mayweather and I assured him after talking to Manny that was the case. From there I have had a couple of conversations with Ross and I laid out all the terms that would be acceptable to our side and I also informed him about the concession that Manny had made about drug testing. He got back to me in a couple of weeks and told me he had discussions with Al Haymon, representing Mayweather, and that everything looked good. We were nearing a resolution. The subsequent conversations with Ross detailed to me discussions he had with Al Haymon. Nowhere were the names of Richard Schaefer or Golden Boy mentioned although I read, as you all did, Oscar’s statement that a deal was close, so I assume from that, that Haymon was keeping Golden Boy abreast of the situation.

arum , of all the people, is a lot more understanding about floyd's situation than most posters here , if it is his uncle's situation i could understand that , but floyd's silence is hurting him here

*****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.

I am butthurt the fight didn't get made.

There's not a lot of time left for it to be made, for promotion and training camps as well as for Pacquiao's political responsibilities.

Arum being nice to Floyd could mean that he really wants the Mayweather-Paquiao to happen.

[flint]

arum found out that he can't buy mayweather with those bull**** contracts like he did with cotto and clottey.and right now margacheato will fight for a pile of ****.

Margarito would make a lot of money fighting Pac. It wouldn't be a pile of ****.

I bet he could make as much as Kessler when he fought Froch, easy.
