So if Floyd really wants the fight NOW....what has he been doing for 2.5 years?

[PEBBLES!]

I've been saying the same thing for two years.

Arum doesn't want this fight to happen. Not just according to me, the *****, but also according to Alex Ariza, as of just recently, LMAO.

Be real for a moment; who wouldn't want to submit themselves to OST? Exactly. So that's a non-issue. That fight would have been forced upon Pacquiao by now, with OST, if not for the obvious.

Arum is the barrier to a fight being made and Team Wapakman have apparently been happy enough to hide behind his disinterest in the fight as to not have made a significant push against him thus far.

This really should be obvious to all but the most delusional/in-denial of *******s by now. Arum doesn't want to split the promotion, doesn't want to have to reveal the economics, certainly doesn't want to assist Floyd in making any kind of history because he deeply resents the guy for leaving his stable, and is happy to keep all the revenue from matching Pac in-house, all while using his vast media influence to paint the picture of Floyd as a ducker and the barrier to the fight.

Arum will remain the barrier to this fight for as long as he is promoter to Pacquiao. Really, how clear does it need to become (talking about preferences, maybe certain people resent Mayweather just a little too much and it's clouding their lens)?

Oh, I agree that **** Arum is the one who's holding things up now (and for all those reasons you state). But my point remains, neither of the 2 divas wanted the fight until (seemingly) now. I just have issues with this idea that Floyd has always wanted this fight badly - no, there's practically been a tacit agreement between both sides to keep racking up the money until there is nobody left.

It's only now he's stepping it up (and if he's genuine and not a smokescreen to a Guerrero fight, props to him).

Wait a sec, there. Of course it's an issue. Fighters going through tough training camps/making weight don't want to submit themselves to additional drug testing and having blood taken, especially when you have leverage that the likes of Ortiz and Mosley don't have.

I'm happy Pac is agreeing to them now, only cos Floyd obviously ain't gonna drop those ******, absurd demands (JMM didn't need ****ing OST to make Pac look foolish). It's a pathetic demand.
