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

[gdghunter06]

Acceptance Now, has no Promotional Value...
Around Super Bowl,
When Millions of Casuals, are Paying Attention,
Makes More Sense...

The $$$ Mavens at the Networks, are calling the Shots,
This time Around...

They don't need to hype this and the casuals will know about this because the main stream media is talking about manny just agreeing to the damn terms imagine when floyd says yes and signs good lord the contract signing and first press conference could be its own hour special.

This fight doesn't need a "special" announcement. Once it is announced every news reporting station in America will be talking about it.

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.

If he was going to back out because bob opened his mouth, he was never interested in the fight anyways.

I hate to do double posts, but i just saw this. YES seriously the world freaked that one side of the negotiations is done, can u imagine when this is agreed upon? It will be breaking news EVERYWHERE!!

Which is what worries me. Floyd finding any damn excuse to get out of this fight and blame arum in the process

That would be the worst excuse yet to back out of the fight. Arum said he agrees to everything so I'm going to back out lol mayweather was on ShowTime saying may 2nd lets make it happen and now arum is saying we've agred to everything including may 2nd Manny has signed off and the ball is in floyds court. Its time to put up or shut up forever

This is not a good sign!

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

I thought it was good when PAC became vocal, I thought it was good when Floyd responded with very specific demands on showtime... I thought it was good when arum with very specific wording signed of on their end.. The interview even did a follow up question and arum answered directly. I'm a little concerned that Floyd's side went radio silent.....

[jbpanama]

Yeah, because just about everyone knows Floyd used roids.

Ha ha ha...They do call him Lance Roidweather....Right???

@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.

Going to post this again because this guy from the la times was the one who broke the news on the 4th that both sides were getting close

[zzat]

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?

In your own space that's fine - YOU ARE RIGHT.

I just remember not too long ago De la Hoya said Canelo had agreed to everything for the Cotto fight. We now know that was not as agreed with Team Cotto.

We could have the same situation here

While there at it they should put bob arum vs al haymon on the undercard. I would love to see old man arum beat haymon senseless for trying to ruin the sport. Thank god Adrien broker probably wont be on the undercard since hes fighting in march. I would love to see all top Rank fighters vs al haymon fighters on the undercard. They could start with Terance Crawford vs Danny Garcia. Kill two birds with one stone Manny becomes welterweight king and Crawford becomes light welter king all in the same night. If anyone thinks top Rank doesn't have the best talent overall you are blind.
