ARUM CONFESSES: "Floyd Never, Ever Agreed to Anything"

[fcastro1]

it doesn't change the fact that one side tried to make the fight and the other just didn't want it. Floyd is shook of pac what else is there to it. He came back to dominate the sport well really then why are you taking another break after a retirement.

Bob Arum joined Fox Sports Radio with Stephen A. Smith to talk about what happened with the negotiations between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.



On what happened in the negotiations:


"Well this has been going on for two months and we have been negotiating through Ross Greenberg, the President of HBO Sports, and Floyd had a representative on the other side. It appeared to me that we had reached an agreement. We never had the assent of Floyd Mayweather. He never, ever agreed to anything and he never let us know if he would fight or not. At this point, I had to go ahead and make another fight for Manny Pacquiao. We had a deadline which is a deadline ending the exclusivity period. I will now go out and speak to Margarito and his camp and Cotto and his camp and try to arrange a fight with either of them for Manny Pacquiao. If during that time Floyd says I want to fight and comes to the table, that would be our priority. Everybody ... you want that fight to happen, I want that fight to happen, Manny Pacquiao wants that fight to happen, but Floyd may not want to do that fight this year. I think there are reasons why he might not."



On what reasons Mayweather may use to back out of the fight:

"Well one of them is his Uncle Roger has been his trainer for the last ten years, they have a great, great relationship and Floyd relies on him. Roger is in legal difficulty and there is a criminal case against Roger which apparently goes to trial August 2nd. There's nothing any of us can do about that, but that certainly has to concern Floyd. Secondly, Floyd made a lot of money in the Mosley fight and he may decide that it's enough for the year and I will revisit the issue next year. As far as we're concerned, we're saying 'look if Floyd isn't available this year, hopefully Manny wins his fight in November and were happy to fight him next year.' There's no animosity unlike what happened last time around. This time there is absolutely no animosity. If Floyd would like to do the fight next year, there are reasons for that decision."

This was so obvious from the beginning. Everyone was jumping on Floyd like HE HAD TO abide to Arums dealings and deadline..The whole thing was done to make Floyd look like Pac did the first time.
The only people that fell for it were the casual fans and some *******s.

So basically there were no real negotiation attempt made by “both camps” and nothing was agreed on by mayweather camp as arum made us to believe this guy is full of ****!

I agree! However, no one should be surprised by this revelation.

Why can't any of the peasants just say what "terms" the illiterate congressman agreed to?

Is Pac still under a gag order?

LMAo.

[BoxingTech718]

Can we stop all this bickering? I mean 50/50 and 14 days was originally rejected by Manny in the first place remember. So let's stop pointing fingers and just get together as fans and demand that the fight be made. If enough of us send letters/emails to GBP/Top Rank it just might motivate these guys to make the fight.

You guys should just let it go. TS has been exposed time and time again. Anybody who agrees with this fool at this point is one sad mother****er.

Illiterate congressman? You probably gave yourself away Don Vito. . I only know that a talking briefcase plus his many clones after just as many a ban used to say that.

That illiterate congressman said
"I'm gonna give you an offer you can't refuse".

Guess what, someone still refused.

[TBear]

Yeah right and Mayweather wants to fight Pacquiao!!!!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[nj_evoixgsr]

no pac vs floyd ever. floyd fans can go back to backing up floyd versus whoever they want. he will never fight pac. floyd fans have another year of sleep til they sleep while watching another boring ass fight produced by mayweather and a non-competitive opponent.

pac will get into fights with ONLY top rank fighters cause of greddy ass ARUM. i want to see other fights. this is turning out ****ty for both sides. so stop bitching and complaining.

[apsrising]

The gag order was to prevent people involve in the negotiations from to talking to the media about the fight but arum the ******* broke the gag order every chance he got. Everybody else said no comment except arum. Even Freddy roach haven’t said ****! If he already broke the gag order why not just say the details that were agreed on by pac.

It's funny how *****s invents speculative answers for Floyd, or divert attention to technicalities just to hide the truth that their hero ****ed them so badly that they don't know what's the difference between right or wrong.

I don't care about your wars with pacdiots, for me until Floyd fight Manny - Floyd is ducking period!
