Roach admits it was pacquiao's fault the mayweather fight never happened...

Anyway, the educated boxing fans knew this already. it's those very few clowns in here gasping for air that are still choosing to side with opinion over facts.

Bob's been an issue. You can look up interviews from 09 where Floyd is expressing his reluctance to deal with Arum again. Why i'ts such a sticking point now is because he does not have to deal with Arum for this fight to be made. Ignore me though because what I'm saying makes no sense.

He does have to deal with Arum because Arum is Pacquaio's promoter. If Arum was always the issue, why did he supposedly want to deal with him before? Strange.

roach has no say and is not part of any negotiations. he's talking out of his ass.

you're a comedian

so true, there is i beleive a fear in manny's corner that floyd could seriously damage pac in a fight.

you should read that article why i fixed fights to understand a little more why the fight hasn't happened yet.

pac is being protected by his people who know he would be brutally beaten by floyd.

Pac isn't protected really, most of his team, Koncz, Ariza, and Freddie even Arum have thrown Manny under the bus and made up wild excuses for him. Shame really because Manny seems nice.

Yeah it was pretty clear the way they grabbed the ball and ran home midway. But nice to see, regardless.

Sure it was. That's why when they agreed, Floyd decided to bring up another roadblock about the financial split. Now it's Bob Arum even though Bob Arum has been involved in all previous negotiations. What next? Pacquaio's mother can't be at the fight in case she puts a hex on Floyd?

I mean how many things are you gonna slurp up before you realise this is all hot air?

Yet you ignore Arum saying he'd push Floyd's jail extension back even more in time for Manny's cut to heal

opinion is basically what roach gave. roach has never been part of any fight negotiations he really wouldnt know.

you being you, supporting who you support would obviously see it your way to fit your agenda.

you're a comedian

you're a flom0.

LOL at cutting out the rest of my post. When they sat and negotiated for the fight to happen, there was no other roadblocks (you and Manny supporters just say that because it sounds good). FACT. The information is out there. And I think it's hilarious how people have this idea that after he rejected the offer that went all the way to mediation was going to be the exact SAME months later. It's laughable.

Now it's Bob Arum even though Bob Arum has been involved in all previous negotiations. What next? Pacquaio's mother can't be at the fight in case she puts a hex on Floyd?

I can say the exact same thing about Manny and his stance on the testing. LOL. I guess you forget that is was Bob Arum that said they were not going to cave in to any extra testing after initially agreeing to it in the negotations. I guess you forget that it was Bob Arum that said they would ONLY let WADA do the testing and not USADA. I guess you forgot that Bob Arum came out and said that he would never sit down with GBP about a possible fight with Mayweather a couple years ago. But you're right, Bob Arum is trying his hardest to "get the fight done". Get out of here.

I mean how many things are you gonna slurp up before you realise this is all hot air?

Stop trying to act like you're nuetral on this situation. You have defended Manny from jump street. But you try to make it seem as though you're in the middle about what really happened. Talk about slupring something up. SMH.

Or or or or or or or or....the massive outdoor staduim to host the fight.

I guess Floyd was in the position he's in now that he was then right? At it's peak, Floyd was 1A and Manny was 1B. Floyd had to give that man a fair shake and had to deal with Arum as Pacquiao's promoter and would have to deal with it being a co promotion with his former boss. Now, this is not the case. Manny's stock has dropped significantly and Floyd not only became a bigger star in boxing but now he's also a major figure head on the business side as well. So much so that now he can cut Bob out if he wants because he and Schaeffer can foot this promotion entirely by themselves. Richard and Floyd would be just giving away Money by allowing Arum to co-promote it when he does not have to. So, due to Floyd's substantial growth in the sport, he no longer has to deal with a guy he doesn't like, that he would have had to 5 years ago. Still not making sense?
