Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Getting Impatient: Mayweather is a Chicken

Arum makes no sense. He was just telling the Daily News that he spoke to Haymon and the was pretty confident tge fight would happen. I honestly think he just likes messing with Floyd.

This. I just caught the article today. He's messing with Floyd. Trust that there is bad blood still between the two. Funny Floyd has barely said a word doing the negotiations, nor hbo or showtime. The only one wooing and howling is Arum. I understand the need for the fight, but the constant media trolling on his part has got to stop.

So Pacquiao winning belts in 8 divisions means nothing? Ok.

Pacquiao was the real champion in 4 weight classes, same as Floyd.

They also print everything that come out of Floyd mouth. The only difference is they have to scrap it the next day because Floyd go on record stating that he never said that.

Floyd's mouth is barely open. He's going to keep saying "Like I said before.." because he already said it before.

Bob Arum keeps coming up with outlandish crap every chance he gets and he knows the media is going to back him up. It's amazing how well Toprank won the PR/media battle.

since pacquiao is just trolling, mayweather should call his bluff like kovalev. say ok lets fight then watch pacquiao nah nvm.

Bob just be rambling, i don't think he knows what the **** he's talking about.. He needs to retire, enjoy life let the new generation of promoters do there thing.

Poor Floyd. He's being ridiculed now by most of the boxing world. If he really hates Arum, then take the fight and punish the Pacman, then he'll get his revenge. Problem is, looks like he does not believe he can beat. Manny

Thats the plan you idiot , just let this thing run its course lots of very high profile business men are working to make the fight , let it run its course the real answer will come out soon enough !

Reloaded's Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde approach to the Manny vs Floyd negotiations:
"Manny, agree already. You are the B-side. What's taking you so long!!! I can't stand waiting for Manny to agree. Hurry up!!!"

Now that we are waiting for Floyd .....The cool, calm and collective Reloaded is here!

Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum is getting impatient. He says everyone is waiting for Floyd Mayweather Jr. to sign a contract for a May 2 fight with Manny Pacquiao. Arum claims there is a contract that was sent for Mayweather's signature.

But Showtime Sports head Stephen Espinoza denied the existence of a contract on Twitter, although he did say all parties were working hard to make the fight a reality but they were very far away from finalizing a deal.

Bob Arum is a lying pile of fecal matter. He is the one responsible for the
hold up. He can't stomach Floyd making way way more money than him.
He is raping Manny and I know Manny is sorry he signed with such a scumbag.

I'm a student of boxing history and a fan of both of these young men's accomplishments inside of the ring. So I have absolutely no bias. However those of you who are Floyd Jr. apologist no matter what really need to give it a rest. It's become clear as a summer's sunny day that the risk of fighting Manny at this point is NOT worth the reward to him. Hopefully that'll change in the very near future...

What is going on exactly? I don't get it. Ever since it hit the news that negotiations started, all I have seen is Arum running his mouth in the media about how Floyd doesn't want the fight. Floyd doesn't want the fight but is in negotiations with you?

I'd put the blame on Floyd in a heartbeat, if it's warranted. But none of us know what is the issue behind the scenes. I have a strong feeling it is Floyd this time, but i'd like to confirm that.
