"A known Anti-Arum Writer" LOL...That's a surprise to me...Thanks for the insight...

Can you post links to your articles....You know, the ones that are "Anti-Arum"?

[GRUSTLER]

Honestly I feel Alex Ariza was down with Bob Arum's smoke screen but once Bob started finding him not useful anymore. Ariza wants to snitch to save his own ass, Law And Order/CSI Miami/Cold Case/The Closure style. they snitch BIG TIME in them shows. Basically Alex Ariza has let Arum know that he is ready to roll over on him so he should fall back and continue letting him get his money.

Exactly.

Ariza's not all of a sudden coming forward with this significant information because he is some kind of ethical person and really wants the fight to be made. If that was the case, being Manny's conditioning coach, he would've made sure Manny took the test the first time around in '09.

He's only doing doing these interviews now to get Bob off his back; not because he really wants to see Pac vs Mayweather. Listen, Ariza is no whistleblower. He's a businessman who feels like he's being cheated, that's all.

That interview didn't teach me anything I didn't know. Boxing Scene need to step up the questions they ask.

Boxingscene and other website are kind of forced to ask the questions now, everyone is now trying to follow in the footstep of Floydhype.com...a bit too late, a bit to save face.

Few writers are willing to take risks these days; the other half follow like cattle, these same types, and not all, have enough nerve to call boxers out there 'cowards', 'duckers' etc - when they themselves haven't got enough confidence to go out and get the answers the fans demand.

Most of them are in bed with Arum and his associates, its easy for them to write anything he says and ask leading questions that makes Arum look great, They are basically taking bribes directly and indirectly, you know they need their passes and privilegies to get into fights, I swear american boxing media are terrible.

Arum Answers Mayweather Proposal
By Keith Terceira
4th November 2011

Bob Arum doesn’t believe that Floyd Mayweather Jr. is being sincere in his proposed May 5th bout with Manny Pacquiao, recently stating to ESPN’s Dan Rafael that he believes it’s Floyd’s way of stealing Pacquiao and Marquez’s thunder and diverting the spotlight away from the November 12th event.

“Listen, we’re not going to consider anything until after the Marquez fight,” Arum said. “The way they are going about it seems like a bizarre way to go about it. If you want to put it together, you meet, you talk. You don’t just come out and say, ‘The fight is May 5 at the MGM.’ What kind of negotiation is that? So I don’t take what they said seriously.

“I think it’s Floyd’s way of trying to grab a little bit of the spotlight away from Manny. I’m not going to get upset. I take it with a grain of salt.”

Further in the article found on ESPN Los Angeles Bob Arum explains that the selection of the May 5th bout and it’s venue may not have been explored by Mayweather properly and with the biggest players in the arena business.

“Don’t you have an obligation to the fighters to maximize the revenue?” Arum asked, adding that he thought it would make sense to at least talk to such players as Jerry Jones, who paid millions to have Pacquiao twice fight at Cowboys Stadium in 2010, or Las Vegas casino magnate Steve Wynn, who has been involved in several major fights, to see if they are interested.

“Don’t you want to hear what they have to say?” Arum asked. “And before you set a date don’t you want to see if the guy you want to fight is available?”

As suspected by many, Mayweather may just be playing a PR game with this announcement and it doesn’t slip by Arum who is taking it all in stride not being aggravated in the least by the news released by the “Money” team. Instead he suspects that the attention that the upcoming event and Pacquiao are receiving caused Floyd to be uncomfortable leading to the proposal being made in the press.

“I’m not bent out of shape at all,” he said. “For me it’s sort of funny, amusing. It’s noise and it probably helps my Pacquiao-Marquez event. I’m happy with it. It’s out there. But it’s a joke. You don’t negotiate this way. The reason I don’t take it seriously is why make an announcement now? Why now? How do you justify it? What’s the hurry?

“Either, they’re just amateurs and not thinking or they thought I would go ballistic. There is some Mickey Mouse agenda. And of course (Golden Boy promoter Richard) Schaefer (whom Mayweather hires to promote his fights) is just a tool. He does what they ask him to do. This isn’t Schaefer thinking it out. He is doing what he is told. They had some kind of reason to do this. Floyd was getting pissed off with all the attention Manny is getting.”

My new favorite ******* line is "Team Pacquiao are geniuses. They're leaking all of this stuff just to lure Mayweather in"

You're actually 100% correct, and undoubtedly Keith is one of them

His agenda is obvious!
