You have to look at it both ways. Floyd has tried to reach out to Manny on several occasions (calling him, and even try to meet with him recently when they were both in LA). Arum wanted to build the stadium, was against the testing, wanted to fight at Cowboy stadium, doesn't want to fight on May 2 even though he has twice in the past against non Mexican opponents. He ask for a gag order but it is only his side talking, and when they do talk they say Floyd is holding up the fight but won't say why or what was agreed to.Tell us specifically how Arum is stopping the fight from happening.
From the outside looking in, it seems that Bob was the one who sought out Moonves to get the ball rolling. He didn't go to the assistant to the assistant, he went to the big boss, went over everyone's head. He met with him constantly to hammer out a deal and got Les together with the head of HBO so they could iron out the details of the co-promotion/distribution. He is also on record that he has acquiesced to every one of Floyd's demands, even the ones he was against initially.
The split, the date, the site, the drug testing protocol, the gloves, even down to who comes in the ring last/is announced as champion/gets billing in the promotion.
That sounds like someone who is preventing the fight from happening?
If Manny promoted himself like Oscar, or Cotto they would have fought twice already. The reason he needs the Floyd fight is because Manny's PPV are way down and he never has any good opponents to fight.
Floyd has consistently said that Manny is not the problem (If the 2 actually met and sat at a table you would see this, but Manny is not a boss and that is why he hung up when Floyd called him the last time, why not call him yourself Manny?)
They don't want to negotiate in the media so the fans know all of the facts and can determine what is fair but will use it to put out all of this misinformation, and add road blocks to the fight.
What is the point in a deadline for the fight of the century. You obviously have not agreed on everything or a contract would be written already. Have all parties sat at a table at the same time (promoters, managers, networks, etc.)?
These are the questions that should be asked by the fans of both fighters but you idiots want to keep saying the one side is ducking the other with now evidence of what is happening. Does anyone even know if the split was agreed to or how much it is.Comment

Floyd doesn't have haters, when you talk ****, are arrogant, and a douchebag you don't have haters you can't use that because he is a hater himself and so are his fans.
Pacquiao has real haters, haters only apply to people who are either humble work hard and mind their own business and very friendly but are successful.
You can't claim haters when you are a hater yourself.Comment

You're a sheep anything Floyd says you believe lol. I follow Floyd I respect the man as a fighter I've stated he's the best defensive fighter we've seen since Whitaker and I'm not a moron that says Pacquiao would knock him out in a few rounds or Pacquiao would beat Hearns, Duran, Robinson, Hagler. Come on it's obvious Floyd's being a pus can your man not take the insults from the people lolComment
