Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather - The Only Impediment in a Deal

[LouIE G]

This guy can't be serious is he???
Why the fawk would he step aside when he is mannys promoter?
The fact that Floyd is asking him to step aside is just another way of Floyd saying I don't want to fight PAC he is too much of a threat

Then just shut up and accept the fact that it aint happening with bob being involved..pac resigning with arum was the worst thing he could have done..he should have listened to his team... but i guess he really wants the fight which is why he resigned huh??

Yawn. You done playing showtime exec? Everyone who knows anything about boxing knows its greedy bob who is the one preventing this fight...this is a bigger fight then lewis tyson so there is alot more that would have to go on behind closed doors for this to take place, its not as easy as you make it seem.

Bro, I see you didn't read the OP article where it says Showtime/HBO are willing to work together. Now I see why you keep supporting Floyd! Go to a library bro.

If that's the case, then...

Greedy bob owed floyd millions for the gatti and judah fights for years while holding a grudge that floyd left him high and dry.....im still not sure arum paid him what he owed.... that could be reason enough to want to keep his greedy a$$ out of the negotiations imo

If there was money that was ever owed to Floyd, then there should have been some kind of litigation. But if Floyd honestly feels that he was ripped-off by Bob and feels that he can't prove it in court, then put this issue on the current round of negotiations.

The point is, confront him like a man. He's supposed to be a elite fighter and super businessman, but he can't even face this over 80 year old senior citizen?

Well look at it this way.

A. Bob Arum says there are no impediments into making the fight happen, not even Floyd contract with showtime because HBO and Showtime are willing to make a deal for the superfight, and that they will agree to Floyd being the A-side and submit to any drug test he wants.

B. Floyd says Pacquiao needs to leave Top Rank and sign with TMT to make the fight happen.

So which side is impeding the fight?

Cmon man, i can guarentee you that if arum steps aside to let pac fight floyd i guarentee we will get a fight...arum is just concerned with his piece...arum will still get paid either way if he steps away but hes to stubborn to do it.

Really man? Has there ever been A legendary fighter who let some bull**** like that get in the way of proving his greatness?

No. There never has been one.

I would wish something like that would happen honestly, but theres too much pride involved floyd went on to become a superstar without bob and bob wants to promote his superstar in this fight, at the end of the day something is gonna have to give or this fight aint happening.

Theres alot of factors though.. the shiat floyd is doing now, and the shiat pac did back in 09-10-11-12 is un acceptable man...he should of took the 14 day cutoff date....pac was to blame then, floyd is to blame now..like i said something has got to give man.

Pacquiao has said over and over he wants to make the fight happen.

He's let go of the past for the sake of the fans and for history. Why can't Floyd? Is he that much of a child? Or just a coward?

His nickname is Money. Why doesn't he fight Pacquiao and make the biggest money fight possibly in history?

[LouIE G]

Pacquiao has let go of the past and wants to make the fight happen. Why can't Floyd?

Idk we will just have to sit back and let this play out, i wanna see this fight as much as anybody hopefully next year it will happen.

why are we seeing an article a day with Arum talking about Mayweather when Pac is about to fight Algeri? Should we not be seeing an article a day with Arum talking about Pac vs Algeri instead?
