Well i see it 50-50 as far as who is being criticized by the media. Im just curious to know why didn't Pacquiao agree to 14 days in January and 8 months later 3 months after Mayweather made between 30-40million fighting Mosley he agreed to testing anytime, anyplace, anywhere. LMAO If that last part was true, (and i highly doubt it) why is this the 1st time we're hearing this.
All through these "so-called" negotiations Arum's tuned changed too often for me to believe that they were seriously going to fight Floyd in november. At first everything seemed to be going fine and dandy. Then day by day, i hear little hints in his vocabulary that gives me the impression that if discussions took place, I believe it was more about the parameters of a potential fight. Not necessarily a fight on Nov. 13th 2010.
Remember after everything was rolling along and they had there contracts signed and they sent them to team Mayweather. It wasn't until after it was obvious Mayweather's team was ignoring them, then you hear how they actually never spoke directly to anybody from Mayweather's team. How Arum seem to give mayweather the excuse on how his uncle's legal issue might be a problem and therefore Mayweather might wait to render a decision. Let's not forget that like always, (or at least when its a pac/mayweather negotiation) he always has a replacement lined up just incase mayweather does want to bow down to a guy that makes on average 15mil less than him.
This is about one thing only and its called LEVERAGE. Back in January, Mayweather was under criticism and a lot of scrutiny for his recent list of opponents before Mosley. So mayweather understood that he didn't have much leverage in January, that's why he agreed to everything they wanted back then. Now all of a sudden since Mayweather beat Mosley, Pacquiao or somebody from his camp can't stop mentioning Mayweather's name. Pacquiao looked at his measly paycheck and saw a fighter that (he feels) he's better than make 4 times as much as he did must've rubbed him the wrong way.
As long as Team pacquiao continue to pretend that there in the drivers seat then i don't see this fight ever getting done. They knew all along they were fighting Margarito in November, this bull**** of charades is just a cover up so fight fans won't do to Pacquiao what some have done to floyd, criticize him for fighting a guy that he shouldn't be. We much rather see cotto vs margarito 2, than pacquiao vs margarito. This is all about lining Pacquiao up with a guy thats custom made for his style, for him to beat up, look good doing so, and have the pac tards amped to say ****** **** like "well he beat margarito and mayweather didn't wanna fight neither one of them, blah blah blah. . The problem is is that now the list of Pacquiao's opponents are gonna run thin, if they dont step up his level of competition too. So once Arum milks pacquiao for fighting everybody in his stable in or around 145lb (Pac-weight) limit. Then he will feed Pacquiao to the wolves to get his ass handed to him.
