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

[Thickback]

This feels like a set up.

Oh yeah he can. He has before. Im just gonna sit back and wait to see what the other side says and hope, just hope, Arum isn't BS'ng.

That they have completed negotiations? There obviously was a gag order until negotiations had been settled. You think its a coincidence that Bob has started to open his big effing mouth?

Oh and to add negotiations were completed in late 2010 until floyd walked, ask greenberg about that.

I this a contract drawn up by both sides or is this an Amir Khan-style one side contract?

Arum makes no sense... if you agreed to everything then why wouldn't Floyd sign? I guarantee that in a few days..we'll get the truth and the truth is there are still some conditions that Floyd has made that haven't been met... number 1 being purse split...

If Floyd says no Reyes Gloves... then Floyd will be shredded for the rest of his life...

If Floyd doesn't accept 60-40 and wants like 66-34..I think the public will crucify him...

If Floyd says no Top Rank joint-promotion, then you can expect the same type of backlash against Floyd...

Floyd needs a legit excuse not to fight Manny... the blood-testing was a legit reason...but that's the only legit excuse he's ever had...

Floyd fears for his life....

TBH...Arum doesn't want the fight and Koncz is Arum's employee pretty much violating the M. Ali... Manny is the only one who really, really wants the fight along with Showtime...

The rest of the players... HBO, Floyd, Haymon, Arum, Koncz... none think this fight needs to happen although they would like it to happen for the money.... except maybe Arum who only makes money on Manny's cut...

1. Arum has been talking non-stop for months now so you're off.

2. It's funny you mention 2010. I remember Arum saying he was in touch with GBP and Ellerbe. Both said that was false. When questioned at his 3am presser, he admitted he never reached out to them.

Oh Robert Arum please be true!

Arum has agreed with everything "floyd's representatives" have brought to the table. So hopefully that solves the confusion. IDK who they are (Moonves obviously, maybe haymon??) but that's that.

You're wrong about Arum tho, i dont like him one bit. But history has shown when it is time to bury the hatchet and make super fights he has always done it.

After reading the Arum interview, sounds like Arum is already setting the sabotage for the fight...

I'm assuming Arum-Koncz made a counter-offer to Floyd and that's what they mean by "we agreed to everything"...
