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

[Flash13]

1. A gag order is a gag order. He's been talking from the get-go even if he took a few days off so obviously there wasn't one. So forget that.

2. Greenberg was very careful to say that HE, not Bob, had been negotiating with one member of each party. That's umm, what networks do. There were no negotiations between parties and Arum, who had started out saying that HE was in touch with GBP, admitted at the end he never reached out to them.

I dont want to get into this discussion about 2010 seriously. He was in talks with greenberg with mayweathers people it didn't matter who specifically.... anyways would cbs really approve this article???!

Floyd fans don't want the fight to happen, they are happy with Floyd being undefeated even if he fights a few duds...

Floyd fans are the only fans who actually get excited when Floyd adds conditions in fights... Floyd fans actually said the $40 mil was a great offer... funny how Floyd is offering more now that Pac has been KOed and not #1 lb for lb any longer...

He wasn't in talk with Mayweather's people. He was in talks with HBO about a fight. I mean no matter how you slice it, that's what it was. The networks talk to promoters all the time about possible fights. They didn't even believe they could get people to buy that, which is why he probably confessed all that at a 3am press conference. At least you're no longer trying to pretend there was some "gag order" on this current "negotiation."

What did I tell you? Bull**** with all of this, till I saw an official anouncement I wouldn't believe a word.

I knew it, the fight is not gonna happen, not that I really care, I rather watch Mayweather vs Khan.

No i still believe while negotiations were ongoing like jan 4th - till now i believe arum was asked not to speak about it. I could find multiple articles from those dates with the quotes from arum saying, "i cant talk about it".

It's not just boxing media reporting this now it's national media! Arum saying that they have agreed to "mayweathers terms" means they have accepted the counter offer from the counter offer that they sent......in other words all we are waiting for is floyd to come out and sign the contract but one thing I don't like about all this is floyd doesn't respond well to pressure! He hates being told what to do and he does things the way he wants or the way al haymon wants.

Don't tell me it's just a coincidence that manny is coming to la for a few days then jetting to London then judging the ms universe competition. He's putting his name out there again for national and international media to start building up this fight. Anyone want to bet that after ms universe they have the press conference to announce the fight.

How about on Jan. 3? Were they negotiating then? Come on. You're just making up dates now lol. We're all dying for this fight to happen. But excuse me if I don't blink when Bob ****ing Arum opens his mouth.

I don't believe a mother****ing thing arum says.

If it says arum on the title, it's automatic bull****

Agreed and one thing I want to add to what I said about floyd. As much as he hates being told what to do he also can't stand someone getting the spotlight over him his ego is too big for all that so he may drag this out to drum up more news and then come out and say come and get it and take the spotlight back from manny.
