[IronDanHamza]

sure was weird to see floyd talk manny all of a sudden.!! hey guys ive come out of hiding, lets do it in may!! and then u have paulie all night "if the pac fite doesnt happen, con should happen" so obvious what flodie is up to. probly knowing the new negotiations call for a day other than may and now he is doing his usual sabotage. its gotta be in may doe, maximize revenue doe

Are you dense? It's rhetorical don't answer it.

It doesn't have to be May, but why wouldn't it be May?

And Floyd hasn't even said "It has to be in May", Bob Arum has out of the blue said he won't do the fight for May, knowing full well that's Floyd's date and his backwards reasoning is "It's Canelo's date" and "it's disrespectful to the Mexican fans"

Well #1 Canelo isn't his fighter, and #2 he has put non Mexicans on a Mexican holiday so who exactly is he trying to fool?

I don't understand how some of you get by in life.

Prince is really the court jester. But I'm glad he posted this article. Hopefully Manny has read it as well.

He posted it thinking it was a good thing

I still cant believe people think this fight might happen for 1 Floyd is far too greedy for this to happen and Arum is just a ****.

He posted it thinking it was a good thing

Lol for him it is. He doesn't want to see the fight, he wants to see Arum "win"

Well unless Arum is holding Pac hostage with some sort of blackmail or whatever I don't know how a congress man would re-sign when he can make a fight easily with Arum and triple his income. He either is really dumb, being blackmailed or plain ******. Either way we are not getting this fight with Arum around, I saw that with Cotto when he said Arum wouldn't make him fight Mayweather.

"bob arum promised me the fight." those were his exact words after he re-upped that contract.

pacquiao isn't the sharpest tool in the shed. remember, this is the guy who hired visionquest to investigate arum and his top rank contract but later fired them (and got sued) because arum told him to do so.

and **** canelo.

This tells you all that you really need to know about this fight. Whatever though, Mayweather-Khan just got a hell of a lot more interesting.

Mayweather's fight dates are on big Mexican holidays but they are just days on the calendar and don't belong to any fighter. I don't think Arum and Mayweather will ever come to an agreement on a Pacquiao-Mayweather fight. Mayweather says it's Arum holding things up. I think Mayweather is stopping the fight from happening by demanding a very large and unfair amount of the money for himself.

[SCEN3RY]

Arum stopped short of saying he would not participate in the planning of a long-awaited Mayweather-Pacquiao showdown on the same date as Cotto-Alvarez.

“I’m not saying that,” said Arum. “I’m just saying that it’s poaching on a Mexican date and it’s disrespectful to the Mexican people. Period. I’ll make that stand.”

is reading a rare talent now? He's making an opinion in obvious regard to canelo-cotto, he's not saying pac-floyd can't happen on may 2nd if it actually gets signed. no wonder Al haymon never makes statements in public, you guys would just twist and turn **** as you please.

and Oscar is just riding with his boy Canleo.

Mannnnnnnnnn... Bob Arum don't want this fight to happen

Its kinda crazy when you think about it Floyd hasn't fought a Bob Arum fighter since I don't know when and now your asking the 2 of them to come together and make the biggest fight in boxing

Bob should just go ahead and take that 10 mill Floyd offered and step aside give the people what they want
