    Hmm I know its Arums fault for not getting it done, but I wonder if its because he really hates Schaeffer that much?

      Don't believe it.

      How was Schaefer and Golden Boy blocking the fight in the first place? They had nothing to do with:

      OSDT
      The Temporary Stadium on the Vegas Strip
      Investors From Singapore and Joe Jackson
      The 60/40 Split
      Pacquiao's cut that wasn't going to be healed by May 5th
      Arum not knowing who to contact from Floyd's camp

      Floyd and Arum are the ones that laid the barriers that have prevented this fight from happening. 50 Cent being in the picture changes nothing.

        lol you're right, nothing worse than hearing those talking heads do that.

        yes, we get it you robot, its super funny that Fifty sounds like fiddy. i bet they giggle when the camera goes off.

        I had to leave ESPN a while ago because the never played a sport in their life anchors became too much to bear.

            Yep. I use to always watch ESPN. Like always, first thing I turned to. Now in the last 6 months or so I cant even bare to watch it.

              Arum never wanted the fight... At least until Pacquiao had a foot out of the door (which 2013 is reported to be). The fight didn't make business sense for Arum; his bottom line is and has been of main importance from the beginning.

              Are people forgetting that Al Haymon is still Mayweather's advisor/manager?

              Are people forgetting that Haymon and Mayweather dictated the terms that were negotiated, and GBP just presented them at the negotiating table?

              When is the last time an Arum fighter's fought a Haymon fighter?

              Mayweather leaving GBP just coincides with Arum's timetable of when HE wanted the fight. It is amazing how this situation played out almost exactly like he wanted. He successfully stalled the fight, changed public perception to think it was Mayweather that was preventing the fight, made millions in the process, and in Pacquiao's final year, he's going to make the fight while cutting out one of his main competitors; him saying "See? It was GBP holding up the fight all along" is like a cherry on top.

                Eventually this fight will get made. It's a certainty. And sooner rather than later, too (because these dudes are getting long in the tooth). There's just too much money to be made from it. ****** money.

                It's just unfortunate that when it does (even if it gets done tomorrow) the outcome will solve nothing. We wanted to see them in their primes -- not when they're both on the downsides of their careers.

                      If 50 gets this made, this can really be a breakthrough for TMT (Teenage Mutant Turtles) promotions.
