Comments Thread For: Arum Discusses The Mayweather-Koncz Meeting in Vegas

[mrjoeblive]

you seriously think it wont happen?!?! LOL! i suppose its just in the media for over 3 years just for fun then? come on man, any real boxing fans that also follows the behind the curtain aspects of the game knows this fight will inevitably 100% happen. this is how it ALWAYS goes down before big fights, this one just happens to be more publicized because of the outburst of fans of pac, and the outburst of haters for may. they are gonna milk every second that they can to get the most **** for their buck. their businessmen first, fighters second, and neither are ******, and neither are scared. no way in hell does this fight not happen. they have no choice, everyone in the world knows it...

i agree but arum blew the high drama for this fight by trying to have manny out do floyds victory over JMM by fighting JMM at 144 and thinking the extra wt would slow JMM down and give pac a chance to look spectacular via ko. but the premise failed and now most think floyd would ko pac or get a easy ud. arum dropped the ball on this one by pulling on the tail for too long. just like he blew gamboa v juanma.

You are absolutely correct. The double talk and BS that comes from Arum's mouth gets more outrageous every week. The sad thing is that all the *******s and these idiots who call themselves members of the boxing media are buying it hook, line and sinker.

Arum wants the public to believe that Floyd is negotiating on his own. Since when has Floyd Mayweather ever negotiated a fight without a Haymon or his promoter? Arum wants the public to forget that he sent an email to Golden Boy days after the Pac/Marquez fight saying that he is not interested in negotiating a Pac/Mayweather fight. He also wants the public to forget that he claimed that Floyd had dropped Golden Boy two years ago and was going to sign with Don King. He wants the public to think that Michael Koncz is actually involved in negotiations in some way. And he wants the public to believe that he is actually trying to put the fight together, even though he has not spoken to Mayweather, his promoter or anyone in Mayweather's camp.

As I said, the sad thing about it is that all the *******s will believe this double speak all the way up to the point where Arum tells them he is going to put together Pac/Marquez IV because he couldn't come to terms with Mayweather, whom he will never actually talk to.

good post big james. but most of the top rank fan club wont let a little thing like FACTS get in their way of lovin bob arum/roach/pac.

Am I the only who finds this quote really disturbing?


These are the people you have to sit down with to make the fight! If you don't want to sit with these people, how do you expect for the fight to happen? I understand blocking GBP, which is bull**** because "the cold war is over", but you at least have to talk to Al Haymon to get a deal done.

Absolutely. But I'm not surprised at all by it.

spot on warp, he does not want to share the pot with another promoter. thats why he had 98% of pacs fights with in-house opposition. and thats how i dont understand how any sane person cannot see that arum is standing in the way of this fight. as posted before he will say "i tried to talk to floyd. but he is afraid of manny so we are going to fight bradley. we cannot wait on floyd"

We are mostly dealing with idiots, and kids...... casual non-boxing fans who dont know **** about fighters or the sport..... and gullible people who believe every word that Arum says
