Yeah Dirk, you were saying?

I was saying that Arum and Shaefer took part in negotiations. They each had a prefered date. They worked out that March was preferable because of the election. They sat and worked it out together as per any negotiation. Are you denying that Arum and Shaefer met for negotiations?

Fact: You don't go into a negotiation with set terms. Full stop. Period.

Fact: Your silly little point has been debunked.

The date was NEGOTIATED between both parties. Not the same thing. Sorry.

Just a reminder.....

Back in May-July 2010 immediately prior to Bob Arum's " deadline " scam, the one he used to obtain a date and funding for the Margarito fight, Arum forwarded GBP a ****ty offer that, according to Schaefer, was even worse (in terms of OSDT's) than the deal that Mayweather had already refused back in 2009.

That " offer " was then followed by no meetings, no phone calls, no deals, no contracts, no discussions..... and NO offer of negotiation..... Arum slapped a 2-week deadline on an e-mail that GBP never even took seriously, and he refused to answer the phone.

I am curious as to how you feel about the infamous " second " negotiation?

Not quite. They each had a preferred date. They met, they talked, they negotiated. Then they set the date, as well as other terms. I.e THEY NEGOTIATED. They didn't set the venue as far as I remember.

Mayweather set the date and venue before any dialogue had even been opened. With no room to negotiate.

Not the same.

And how would it "debunk" my point anyway? You don't go into a negotiation of a fight of this magnitude with set in stone terms, no matter who is doing it. Thats a basically a platitude. What is so hard to understand?

Im sure you'll carry on asking asinine questions but im going to bed.

It was a set term because they entered the negotiation with it and had no intentions of changing it. Soo...your silly little point has been debunked. Run to bed, son.

That was exactly what they did. Came into negotiation with a set date. It's not that hard to understand.
