    Fl0mos still dumb as ****. It's convenient to point the finger at Bob, but look at the track record, dummy

    Being signed to Haymon or otherwise not to Arum doesn't just make fights happen - did we ever get P.Williams-Floyd? Bob Arum actually gave us fights between other promoters - Chavez-Martinez for example, but Haymon won't give us Stevnson-Kovalev. We got Donaire-Rigo, but won't get Santa Cruz-Rigo. Arum wanted to make Floyd-Margarito, Floyd/Haymon DID NOT. But of course let's ignore the facts and just point a convenient finger at the other guy. Yeah, and the 40 mill offer was a good attempt at making the fight happen

    Ariza has no weight to his words per Fl0ms so why even quote him? he's implying there are no negotiations, but Floyd just said they have been negotiating. C'mon now, at least Team Pac is on the same page with the **** they're saying. This is ridiculous, just plain sad.

No shenanigans like talking about a gag order while sneering and complaining to reporters. We've already seen this movie.
      Why you keep talking about the distant past

          No one on either side can be believed. I think Pac is honest but he's also dumb and extremely gullible. That's why he can't be believed.

          I want Les Moonves to come out and say what's going on.

            Let's talk about the present. They're negotiating and we know nothing further.

              Let's not act like Arum hasn't stopped fights from happening in the past too. Arum is no saint.

              And Pacquaio's team aren't all on the same page. Koncz has contradicted Pacquaio, as has Arum.

                I dont know what could bend him over backwards since the 3 mentioned issues allegedly has been solved. Can you speculate on that?

                  The Floydboys and Floyd love to blame Arum for this fight not happening but they never say what it is that Bob has done or is doing to sabotage this fight. They hear Floyd say that it cant happen with Arum there and they just follow and mimic him like parrots.

                  Again....Pac and Arum have come out and say that they have agreed to the terms Floyd put forth. If true then what's the problem? If not true then why doesn't Floyd just come out and say exactly what he offered and if they did indeed accept or not. Instead all we've been hearing from Floyd is that Manny isn't his own boss and he doesn't have the power to accept any offers. So did he accept or didn't he Floyd?

                    Given what they have said in the past few days, in your opinion, who wants the fight more?

                    Multiple choice question:

                    Option a ) pacquaio

                    B) mayweather

                      Yeah, man! That Ether, man! So much Ether!

                      Ether's defintion in the Oxford Dictionary;

                      - A pleasant-smelling colourless volatile liquid that is highly flammable. It is used as an anaesthetic and as a solvent or intermediate in industrial processes.

                      - Word Nas used as the title to his diss track for Jay-Z

                      - Most overused and unnecessarily used word on BoxingScene.
