Comments Thread For: Arum Responds To Marquez on Pacquiao Fight Claims

[LeadUppercut]

people can "ask" for whatever they want, its called "negotiating". I'm curious though as to whats Bob's counter-offer was.

Oh that's right, there wasn't one.................lol

Thats the main point Terry.

Any chance you could elaborate on that ?

What I am specifically referring to is..... Arum's second "negotiation" for the Mayweather fight. The negotiation that had no meetings, no talks, no agreements, no contracts, no deals, NOTHING..... including no offer of negotiation.

Arum just submitted an offer that by all reports was worse than the first negotiation, and then immediately slapped a two week deadline on it, which sounds absurd in hindsight.

So regarding the Marquez situation, I wonder what Bob's counter-offer was, if he in fact made one at all that is?

Any chance that you could elaborate for the posters that don't seem to be understand how an actual negotiation works?

In your experience.....
Is the outright rejection of an offer, or the outright refusal to discuss terms, a conventional approach when negotiating a major fight like Mayweather or Marquez?

sure thing Bob... And to you morons "protecting" Arum's tactics. Yea, I know it's all business... He is winning...but BOXING is losing... dumb*sses. Let me know when you get a penny in your bank account for defending this fat lying trash. Bob Arum = Lil' Ze in City of God... Pac, Cotto, and Margarito are the runts...

U don't want boxing to lose? Tell floyd to man up.

He made over $1.2M for Diaz II and $1.4M for Katsidis. If he fights Morales on PPV, he's making more than that and if he fights Khan, that'll be at least $1.8M, but probably over $2M.

If that's the case he doesn't need Pacquaio anyway, stop crying and fight somebody else and still make half of what he can make with a Pacquiao bout.

What whining kid.

What are you scared of ?

You won't actually have to get in the ring yourself

[wecreep]

It would be hilarious if Top Rank posted the emails on their website kinda like they did the Mayweather countdown.....lol

Yeah it would be funny.Especially since that supposed deadline for Mayweather turned out to be bull**** just like this fat lying **** is spewing now.You slants will believe anything.Which is why bob is hustling your people with his puppet pacquiao.****ing idiots.Remember "yesterday I was lying and today I'm teling the truth!" ?Oh wait, most of you are not real fight fans as much as pacman fans so how could you remember that or who said it?

You slopes dont know **** about the need for a real pugilist to seek out a challenge because your god pacman is to busy hustling your country out of millions and fighting mayweathers left overs.Morons act like this money is going into their account.

Difficult to see who to believe because both have a history of shaddy dealings, JMM has a history of pricing himself or rejecting fights, And Arum is arum.

Didn't Nacho explain that the reason why JMM vs Manny 2 didn't follow up right away, was because Bob hustled them out the fight? I forgot the details, but it was explained in the Floyd/Marquez 24/7.

In any case, I no longer trust Bob one bit. He is a promoter, and looks to fatten his pocket, by any means possible. That includes lying.

[AFighter4U]

jmm deserves the fight mosley does not

Indeed he does.

The problem is he was negotiating as if he won the fight against Floyd!

Twilight

I don't blame Marquez for wanting to fight The King of Boxing.He's not getting any younger and Manny is the biggest money fight out there and He's the MAN.I thought Marquez deserves a third fight with Manny although I am quite sure Manny's gonna KO him this time at 147.Mosley got a financial gift at the twilight of his career.

Arum is a liar. I don't believe a damn word he says.

When a lawyer like Arum (Harvard grad) starts publicly disclosing specifics (ie. documents and emails), then he is held liable!! If Bob is lying, then he can be sued in a court of law. So chances are he's telling the truth.

He may be a typical slimy boxing promoter but he does his due diligence.
