Comments Thread For: Arum, Pacquiao Waiting on Mayweather's Approval

[jjsmyth87]

Wow you guys come up with the most ludicrous reasons to try to discredit bob arum. He comes out in front of the world when so much is at stake and they e been talking about this since pacquiao called him out and says that him and mayweathers team have agreed to everything. Somehow you guys read through with a fine tooth comb and come up with something so ridiculous like well he didn't say he agreed to the money split so it seems really fishy it cant be true lol. If everyone knows they've been negotiating and it was widely reported a few days ago 60/40 and the date have already been agreed upon and nobody refuted that. Now arum says both sides have agreed to all of the terms and you think because he didn't specifically say they agreed to a purse split now all of a sudden its not credible. Well he didn't mention ring size or rematch clause or who would get announced first either so what? Everything means everything a d hes holding himself accountable in front of the whole world. Just like the 2010 negotiations he was saying he was speaking with golden boy and come to find out it was through somebody else and everyone's like hes a liar! Lol does he really have to be like we are having talks through such a such person it doesn't matter the fact is they were still having talks!! You guys are so desperate to try to discredit him when if it wasn't for his efforts this fight wouldn't even have a glimmer of hope if it weren't for him and Freddie roqch setting up with meeting with Floyd and haymons boss les moonves. How about thank you bob arum for trying to get this fight done and caving in to the may date even though it will mess up the cotto fight money

No athlete will be the same post steroids, Manny is not an exception.

Is that the reason Floyd is losing step or two as well? Got ya.

If Arum agreed immediately then it wouldn't be called a negotiation now would it? None of that even matters though because Pac's camp agreed to the terms, the balls in Floyd's hands now.

The is nothing more than Bob Arum blowing smoke, don't be so naive. Bob Arum is the only source of this so-called breaking news, the same Bob Arum who has said this on many occasions: "Yesterday I was lying, today I'm telling the truth".

@latimespugmire: Officials said today both @FloydMayweather and @MannyPacquiao have expressed verbal agreement with purses but TV deal still at play and ...@latimespugmire: ...the years of distrust keep talks fragile. Until we have signatures on dotted lines there's no deal.@latimespugmire: Still believe both guys have great reasons for wanting the bout and @FreddieRoach told me today this is the closest it's been.

This is not a good sign!

They should not be putting things in the media until everything is signed.

Yeah, because just about everyone knows Floyd used roids.

Floyd is a control freak, he's gonna test everybody's patience by waiting for the anticipation to boil before signing the contract.

Acceptance Now, has no Promotional Value...

When Millions of Casuals, are Paying Attention,
Makes Much More Sense...

Only thing that worries me is that arum is out there talking and floyd doesn't like bob talking which makes me nervous considering how much of an ego maniac floyd is it wouldn't surprise me that he backs out because old bob opened his mouth.

Well they should if they feel one side is getting cold feet. Public pressure is a very powerful thing. They have agreed verbally on the fight... Manny has signed, i mean cmon what's the hold up?

You really think after hes been working so hard to get this fight done, initiating the negotiations and going over al haymons head to moonves and publicly saying he will do everything to make it happen, and after its even been reported days ago they already agreed to 60/40 and may2nd and drug testing, now for no reason whatsoever hes saying they have agreed to all the terms but he's really lying about it? This has been reported all day and we haven't heard a single shred of evidence to refute what he said. Dont you think a lie on such a grand scale as this when the whole world is watching would be quickly exposed by anyone from ShowTime or mayweathers side? Come on man get real there's no way he would be able to talk his way out of this one if he was lying... Aka hes not that ******
