Comments Thread For: Arum Tells Mayweather: Walk The Walk, Fight Pacquiao

[Ray*]

This fight wont happen, i would be surprised if it do because IF they fight, that means Pac is going to have the Blood test done, AND if he gets caught juicing, then the LAWSUIT wont go nowhere. BUT if he does take the test nd come out negative, he will lose, and i dont think he would want that!!

He would never be caught juicing if he ever takes the test, He would be ****** to be caught juicing if he did agree to the test. A drug test shouldnt stop a fight from happening IMO and am surprise its stopping this fight from happening at the moment.

well if he was serious about fighting floyd there would be no lawsuit at all..he would of agreed to the test and do what his fans think he can do..but he's scared of something it's clear as day.

he agreed!

first he ducked the great vivian harris and the great carlos baldomir then he duck klitschko now he s dcking manny

[tomhawq]

it's easy floyd. appoint a negotiator and start the ball rolling.

ball has been on your court since you went on vacation.

ask ross greenburg.

you can't hide saying "take the test" forever.

we all know know why arum cant say that manny will take the tests. If arum ever said that manny has agreed to everything that mayweather wants, then there would be no backing out of it. All the weight would be on their shoulders and no amount of spin doctoring could save manny pacquiao ass from ending up like his dog.

As it is, if manny pacquiao is so honest, upstanding and principled, why has arum been offering floyd extra money to accept the fight without the usada tests????? All those offers that arum has been saying floyd turned down were offers for him accept the fight and let pacquiao off the hook so he didn't have to take the tests. Arum knows that just one positive test result immediately goes to the media.

Walking the walk would be accurately representing your position. Pacquiao has not accurately represented his own position because according to him and arum, it has been floyd who has held up the fight. When in reality its been manny pacquiao who refuses to sign the contract. Walking the walk would have been to take the tests. Walking the walk would be pacquiao making his own decisions, and not letting pappy arum talk for him.

Pacquiao has admitted that he is not responsible for anything but fighting. This entire quarrel is between mayweather and arum. Arum is livid that he can't make money off of mayweather. No one sees this? Arum has been trying to hype up cotto, clottey and margarito for years! The guys couldn't hang on for more than one year when floyd left in 2007. He came back in 2009 and they had all lost and dropped in rank!

Arum was furious! Floyd was his slave for years ... Making arum lots and lots of money. When floyd left arum promotions, arum tried going to the media to make put pressure on mayweather to fight his own fighters despite them not having done anything at ww at that point.

Now, arum finally has a guy in his stable who he can tout as having done something .. Because he fought the last 6 guys all coming of losses, some at catchweights, and one ww was banned but was allowed to compete for a vacant jrmw title that he was never in line for.

Arum told the media "to hell with all that. Manny is a small guy but he's winning despite these guys being bigger and stronger". Arum neglected to say that manny stipulated a rehydration clause that stated that his opponents could not come in larger than an agreed upon weight. Arum also didn't state that pacquiao was facing these guys now that they were ranked #5.

Still, arum wanted to make a mega fight to get his hands on as much money as he could. He knew that mayweather had become without him the cash cow of boxing. And arum wanted a piece. So he pretended to negotiate with mayweather for years, claiming first that manny wouldn't sign the contract in the philippines. Then claiming that mayweather was stalling by demanding usada random tests.

Then arum and team pacquiao began shuffling. First they wanted a 30 day cutoff. Then a 24 day cutoff. That just further stalled things. Then team pacquiao asked if the tests could just be urine. Then the whole teddy atlas text incident happened. That's when all bets were off.

Years went by, with arum claiming that he was doing everything he could, which was a lie. Arum tried other circus antics like a countdown clock to force floyd to accept without the usada tests.

However, once floyd dominated the #1 ww in the world to take the #1 spot at ww, team pacquiao requested that the original conditions for usada testing from 2 years prior be implemented. Too little too late. Floyd had expressed a desire for testing up until the fight. Pacquiao **** his pants.

Now here we are in july of 2011. Pacquiao still has not signed the contract, but has said "yes" in a youtube clip when about 15 questions were asked. Manny says that he really wants to know if the testing is the reason.

The boxing fans have been saying "sign the contract and find out".

*******s are saying "don't do it manny. Its a trap!"

walking the walk is taking the tests. Always has been. Always will be. Either you're walking the walk ... Or talking in youtube clips about what you "will" do but won't commit to.

There's a lot more than meets the eye. When over $50 million is on the table, there are strategies involved. There is hype involved. There are details that none of us will ever know. Hence the gag order requested by arum and team pacquiao ... The guys with supposedly nothing to hide.

I personally just want to see manny get the dog beat out of him.

Why spin the court of law?

No need to negotiate and spin the court of law, take the deposition Floyd. You can't demand OSDT on the judge.

Floyd must man up and take the deposition. It is very simple and very American.

well if he was serious about fighting floyd there would be no lawsuit at all..he would of agreed to the test and do what his fans think he can do..but he's scared of something it's clear as day.

Plus they just want to "sue" him so they can blackmail him nd say "if u dont fight me without the test i will take ur money"

[BoZz]

he agreed!



why are u even defending ducking phylod?

first he ducked the great vivian harris and the great carlos baldomir then he duck klitschko now he s dcking manny

how can you defend this guy?

well thanks for that video..that was the last missing piece of the puzzle, now I'm the biggest pac fan on this forum..those home made videos of team pacquiao definetly did it for me.

[jayblack]

You hit the nail on the head.

[John Barron]

i'll put the question back at you, how can you take the test when someone is unwilling to signed the contract and negotiate for the test to happen?

For those who forgot, Mayweather agreed to everything, and signed the contract during the first negotiations and Pac didn't. During the second so called negotiations Mayweather said he wasn't fighting in 2010 and was spending time with family. He never waiverd from that. And Team Mayweather always said there were no negotiations going on. The only side talking about negotiations were the side that claimed there was a gag order going on and no one should speak about negotiations. So what was this so called contract that Floyd wouldnt sign?
Regardless, We know Floyd has agreed to everything that Pac wants. And Pacs team has said that they've agreed to everything that Floyd wants. So we should have no issues making this fight next. But we all know that wont be the case as long as Arum is involved.

it's like they're content with what "mini me" or what some fathead in a suit on TV tells them rather than gather and assess the information themselves, as what any objective fan (person) should yet, we continue to get these clueless twats coming on this board spitting their half-assed opinions, day in and day out. it's appalling.

So Ross Greenburg lied when he confirmed that there was indeed talks between both camps --contrary to floyd, shafter and elerbes claimed that it didn't?
