    Im sure Manny and Arum want the fight at this point in time , Ive said all along when they are finished milking Manny they will take a Mayweather fight .

    The point Im trying to figure out is , if the lawyers are exchanging papers , if Moonves is stating he will secure Floyd , if the networks are still hashing out a deal , the big question is WHY are they doing it .

    Why would they be going to all this trouble if Floyd was not onboard , it makes no sense at all , I personally think Floyd wont sign a contract until everything else is locked down including the networks , I think Floyd will sign last , but he will sign and the fight will be on , these Arum interviews with a guy that asks what is allowed to be asked is just propaganda , Id like to hear somebody other than Arum who is not connected to Top Rank say yes Bob is telling the truth , right now Bob is the only one saying it .
    Arum has been firm in his statements. Floyd has not and just generalized that it's Arum's fault again. Arum sounds very confident here that he is in the right and did everything possible. Floyd didn't say anything concrete probably because he can't. Arum agreed to everything!

    I hope its just about the Networks but like I heard and you pointed out as well, Floyd is also getting his nose into the Network's deal. So Floyd can back out using any excuse.

            There is another hilarious tweet on Espinoza twitter. There are reports going around in Australia that Mayweather is showing up there to discuss a fight against Mundine...

            Someone is lying and I kind of figured since Koncz was all hush hush about it in the fighthype interview, not really saying anything at all. I feel bad for Pac. I feel bad for boxing fans we have to go through all of this crap.

                They should start doing like Briggs:

                "Lets go champ, sign the contract. Wherever you go, I go. Sign the contract!"

                    Floyd has been firm in his account for 5 yrs , dont mean sht , at the moment Floyd hasnt made a exclusive interview the only word was on a very light and fluffy chat show , not anywhere has Floyd said anything other than he wants this fight so I dont get what your on about , Floyd has never been public during a negotiation while Arum is a media whore .

                    As Ive said , why would the Network head honchos be grinding out a deal if Floyd is not on board , why is Moonves stating to Roach he has Mayweather , if Moonves didnt have Floyd why is he meeting with HBOs Ceo to get a deal .

                    The only one involved with any part of the negotiation saying Floyd is not on is Arum .

                    How long did we listen to Oscar with Canelo , we have agreed to everything we are ready our side is done , Cotto comes out and says BS they agreed to everything the money still was being negotiated , promoters talk BS .
