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

[pistol whip]

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.

And what exactly did he say? "were negotiating" oh *** he really broke the gag order there! "We have agreed to terms" So much detail so much info!!

[Vito Corleone]

Like i have stated before if ELLERBE was lying Greenberg would be the first person to call him on it because he would be dragging Greenbergs name through the mud and I assure you Ross wouldn't let that happen for one second.

.

I fixed it for you.

Mayweather never wanted the fight. He will never agree to anything.

Pacquiao never wanted to prove to the world that he's clean. He would rather go fight where there are no boxing commissions.

Gag order!!! Hello!!!!

The gag order that involved him putting news on his website and calling the press for 3am conference calls? THAT gag order?

Who agreed to a gag order? Who?

Are 4ucking ******ed? Arum just had 2 hours press conference with the media last Friday! he gave Floyd a deadline to sign the contract that was already agreed on by both parties involved in the negotiations. all that was needed was for Floyd to sign.

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."

What is "Anything?"

There was no agreement.

What does Bob say? There appeared to be an agreement.
Ellerbe says "there was no agreement".

Show me where Bob has definitively said there was an agreement.

Dude. Get over it. Or go somewhere else.



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.

[Vito Corleone]

What is "Anything?"

By "anything", I took that to mean "the conditions of the fight".

[BoxingTech718]

Mayweather never wanted the fight. He will never agree to anything.

At this point I'm uninterested in blame. I just want to see the fight happen. 50/50 and full OST seems to be the only way it does. I hope that pac/floyd fans can join together in calling for the fight. This bickering between factions doesn't get us anywhere closer to seeing the dream fight.

If there were no agreement than what was the deadline for?
