Top Rank CEO Bob Arum says that all of the terms and conditions for the fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather have already been sorted out.



Arum confirmed that everything was on track to ESNEWS: "The latest is…everything is agreed to.

"We've been negotiating this for four weeks, more than four weeks. We’ve finally reached an agreement on all points.

"The lawyers are circulating documents, and everybody is acting very, very positive about the fight happening, with the exception of Mr. Mayweather, who has his own agenda.”

According to Arum, Mayweather has been the one stalling negotiations by not signing the contract.

"Don't you understand, to have a fight happen you need two fighters," he continued.

"Now I know we got one fighter and that's Manny Pacquiao. The other guy, I'm not sure of…because I really have always had doubts whether he would fight Pacquiao.

"Mayweather is one of the greatest defensive fighters of all time, [but] he has trouble with a fast southpaw who can punch," Arum added.

Arum urged the public to use the internet, to convince Mayweather to fight.

"I think that they should bombard the internet send Twitters and Instagram, whatever they have to do, [and say] Floyd sign the damn contract," he said.

The date being touted for the super fight is May 2.

Bob Arum is a liar

What he really means is that everything between him and Koncz has been agreed to and what they've agreed to is to f**k up the negotiations, blame Mayweather, manipulate the media, then fight Jessie Vargas. So yeah they agreed to everything there. Great job as always, guys. Go for the gold.

do you really think Arum would name drop Moonves and Plepler if there wasn't some truth to what he was saying?

come on dude, take off the blinders.

either the fight is already signed and this is just propaganda to build the fight up

or

arum is telling the truth and Floyd is trying to move the goal posts

[travestyny]

We've agreed to all of Floyd's demands...but Floyd doesn't agree with Floyd's demands.


lol. This is beyond bizarre.

[George Orwell]

How can Floyd not agree with his own demands? He's the one that relayed them to his lawyers, who serve as his agents. They sent the contracts over to Pac's people, who then agreed to them.

So whats the hold up?

[George Orwell]

Floyd is BIZARRE, so bizarre behavior is to be expected. You arent dealing with a normal, rational human being.

Me with the blinders? Everyone in the business of boxing who speaks English as their first language knows the first rule of fight club is Bob Arum is lying. The only time Bob Arum isn't lying is when he says he's lying and that's the Arum paradox.
