Comments Thread For: Arum on Mayweather-Pacquiao Talks, Backup Foes

[TehRedRanger]

Arum isn't fooling anyone. Anytime I read on the headlines "Arum said:" I and everyone in the boxing world now knows that the truth is whatever the opposite is to the words that follow. If Arum says negotiations are being made well .. that sucks cause that means negotiations are NOT being made. The only way this fight will happen is if Arum drops dead, would've been a nice birthday present for the boxing world. Mayweather wants the fight and I'm sure Pac also wants it, it's Arum that's the problem. And I hate how he treats his other boxers like food for Pac, "oh a rematch with JMM oooh a rematch with cotto" man .. drop dead.>:|

is it 2009?

These quotes by bob Arum remind me so much of 2009.

Where from the very beginning Mayweather had demanded OST and Top Rank, Freddy Roach and Michael Kontz said no problem.
Then suddenly it became a problem.
Only 3 test, then only 30 days out, no 24, ok no 14....
Then there were talks of other opponents,
and finally out of no where Joshua clottey appeared as the winner of the sweepstakes.

I can see it now. Another failed negotiations three different opponents named and in the end Pacquiao ends up fighting Andre Berto.

Man **** Bob Arum.

So now he injects the "Mayweather can't do the fight if he's going to trial" excuse, when Mayweather is the one that said he's fighting on May 5th? and what happened to the excuse about Manny's eye?

Arum is the biggest piece of scum in boxing

[PACsmash]

Phuck no! Make PAC vs cotto 2. Cotto has improved a lot and will whoop on PAC this time didn't y'all see his amazing footwork against Marg!

[ShoulderRoll]

So Arum is going to duck Mayweather again, in order to make in-house fights with Miguel Cotto and Tim Bradley?

I'm not surprised.

[Boxing's Truth]

Ok folks, let's stop and stop joking for a few minutes. This is beyond ****** already. It doesn't matter if your a Pacquaio or Floyd fan. This whole situation ridiculous. This just shows me that it isn't a matter of one fighter being scared of the other, but it show the greed of a promoter who won't make the fight because he's not done capitalizing on an investment.

Arum speaks a good game. Hell, he's been doing this since before I was born, and I ain't young. He knows that he can still cash in on Manny so why risk it in a fight with Floyd. Even if Pacquaio really want the fight, Arum won't do it. He'll come up with a million reasons why he can't put the fight together and sound convincing to Pacquiao fans...and that's all that matters to him in the end because they're the ones who pay for his fights.

Pac has press conference in phillipines saying hes ready to fight floyd

al haymon is ducking and dodging top ranks phone calls

Pac send Koncz to floyds gym when he was there and floyd says "theres nothing to talk about until my legal fees are over"


Floyd has been ducking and dodging for years and this year nothing has changed.

Man **** Bob Arum.

Like I said back then too, Bob has an agenda and Mayweather was never on it. Like Bob protected Cotto from Mayweather and Mayweather from De La Hoya, Bob is protecting Pac....

Bob is the one that will make or break the fight. Nobody can stop a guy like Bob Arum from making a fight if he really wants this. *******s know this. Its why they are jumping ship.....
