Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: There is One Guy To Blame - Floyd Mayweather!

[AgainstTheRopes]

Bob says everyone is in board but Floyd. If Bob was lying about that, why don't anybody come out and say he's full of ****?????

Mayweather said they're still in negotiations and not as far along as Arum is saying. Espinoza of Showtime has said that they are far from done.

Thats if you believe Arum that all demands have been met and the only keeping this from happening is Mayweather's approval, which is ridiculous to assume at face value.

Why would that be ridiculous? It would just be business as usual for Floyd. Les Moonves is about to learn the same lesson former HBO president Ross Greenburg learned back in 2010:

Greenburg insists the fight was close to being made twice for this year. “Both times, the fight was very close to being made,” Greenburg told Satterfield. “And, the second time around, you know, all that I can say is that you would have to ask Floyd Mayweather why the fight wasn’t made. To this day, I really don’t know why Floyd decided that he didn’t want the fight any more in the fall.”

“To this day, I don’t know why he wanted to take some more time off,” said Greenburg. “Only Floyd has that answer. I certainly don’t have that answer. But, you know, it was very close. It was so, so, close. I think that it was so close that I don’t think that it’s going to take much to make the fight the third time around.”

But it would be 'ridiculous' for Floyd to continue doing what he's been doing for years?

OK.

Arum has been saying to the media for the last two weeks that Pacquaio has agreed to all terms, but refuses to tell us what those terms are or who he negotiated those terms with. Floyd Mayweather and Espinoza says they haven't agreed to all terms and there is no contract, in principle or otherwise.

Some is obviously lying and for the first and only time, I would bet on Arum in this case.

This post will either be ignored or discredited in some way. Good post.

Agreed to terms?

So floyd has supposedly agreed?

Verbal commitment is good as a contract.

So why is he not signing it if he has agreed?

Still it all boils down to Floyd manning up. The spot light is him facing the music.

Let's say there is no contract, but verbal commitment with all parties. To stamp is to call the media and say we have a fight. Simple.

cause theres no contract yet moron.. i dont get why you guys are still crying and slobbering over arums every word.. why not wait until something is official

[MisanthropicNY]

Floyd did say that but 100000000 threads aren't made from Floyd's quotes like they are from Manny and Arum quotes. Plus there are ongoing negotiations so we shouldn't be hearing from anyone yet. It's all a smokescreen imo. They should both retire holding hands if they don't fight.

Ariza: "Floyd is fighting on May 2nd, but he won't be fighting Manny Pacquiao"

Floyd: "Thanks for setting the record straight, Alex"

[latinbrawler316]

No one will answer that.

Coz that's a checkmate.

Arum loves super fights. He's done it for years..

Yep and Flo.mos I am not a Arum supporter I've said he's a snake like all promoters but he has made big fights with other snakes like King in the past but you never hear a fighter complain about a promoter all of a sudden like Floyd lol. If Arum is preventing the fight why would he spend all this time getting lawyers and sh.it his reps and Floyd's reps agreeing on terms, meeting with Moonves?? Flo.mos are in denial lol

[David1976]

It doesn't matter how objective I try to be but it looks like a Floyd is bottling it.

All it takes is for Floyd to say we have a fight even if its being drafted. I verbal commitment between parties is binding you moron.

All it takes is to say to the world it's about done time to hype this super fight, but what do we get moron is This..

Floyd telling ariza confirming to tell it straight that arum is his escape goat.

Floyd telling manny he is not his own boss.

Only a dumbo won't get it that this coward doesn't want anything to do facing Pac. Scared much.. Haha
