acceptable replacements if Floyd makes it clear there will be no May-Pac fight.
-Crawford at 140

Vargas is too green. Not top echelon yet

It may be past time for Uncle Bob to retire. And it seems the Algieri PPV must've done great business, otherwise Arum would be looking for a more bankable name. But maybe this past fight exceeding expectations has given him the courage to throw any old body in there with Pac.

I was hoping it would flop. Boxing fans never learn.

It's always great business when it's an in-house fight.

Every time he mentions another fighter I feel queezy. This motha****a better be putting his all into negotiations.

He's obviously not. We've gone through the whole will they won't they rigmarole long enough to realise that Arum will dip the moment he feels he can spin PR in his favour.

Arum says he is willing to step aside to make to let the fight happen.

Bob Arum is willing to step aside to let Mayweather vs Pacquiao happen

When it comes to negotiations Top Rank President and Owner Bob Arum is tough and fair, but this time around after five years of trying to make a mega fight between his fighter Manny Pacquiao and pound 4 pound champion Floyd Mayweather, Arum is willing to step aside to make the fight happen.*

Karceno: Hi Are you doing today, I heard a rumor that you are willing to step aside to make the fight happen is that true?

Arum: "Yes, it's true, if that's what it takes to make this fight happen for the public then, sure."

Karceno: So you are willing to not have the Top Rank logo on the biggest fight in boxing history?

Arum: "Look if it makes business sense, then why not, it's been long enough I'm willing to do my part to make the fight happen for my fighter, and for the people, that's what Top Rank do."

Karceno: So what about this Floyd buying you out for ten million dollars?
Arum: "Completely not true"

Karceno: Then there is this Muhammed story about buying the fight is this real or a joke?
Arum: "His first name is Akbar, and he is no joke, it's very serious."

Karceno: That must be one heck of a check
Arum: "I'm not going to talk about numbers, but if it gets the fight on then we are all for it."

Karceno: How close are we to getting this finalized, just a percent?
Arum; "Who the f*** knows, we've done our part the rest is all on Floyd now."

Perhaps that is why Team Mayweather has been relatively quiet lately.

This is there way of telling g us Floyd is fighting Vargas next, soy da about right when it comes to Floyd

[Bigg Rigg]

If it's not Manny vs Floyd I'm not watching either guy fight ever again. Unless it's with Cotto cuz that's my boy and I have to watch his fights. Can't believe anyone's even considering this bs Vargas fight though.
