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

[junior gong]

If that was true, Bob wouldn't be in the media day in and day out trying to control the narrative. Floyd this, Floyd that. Same arum bs, different year.

Jesus, you're incurable. All you can do is whine about Arum, you cant even bring yourself to admit that floyd is looking like a huge phag right now. You got one side saying they desperately want the fight and the other just coming out with a bunch of derp and saying there is no contract, manny isnt his own boss and on and on. Do you not realise that even half of floyd's fans are even saying he's acting like a **** right now? What a bumsniff!

Last resort of Disingenuous Double-Digit IQ-Owning Floyd Halfwits = Let Floyd shoulder the blame with someone else.

Arum too doe.

f@ck arum and pacquiao bunch of p@ssies.

Lol Are you being sarcastic? You must be referring to your boyfriend Floyd oops I meant girlfriend.

Two person to be blame in this are Bob and Floyd. Not that Pac is absolved of any blame, but his child-like attitude can be forgiven as naivety. Floyd and Arum are two greedy bastards who believe they can take money to their grave.

If i were to bet my life, this hold up is still over money. They can use networks as excuses all they want, but the clue is in Mayweather hinting at Pac's low PPV sales when asked about the ongoing negotiation. Another thing is that Arum seems to be agreeing to old offers made in previous negotiations. That's 60/40 split seems to be what Arum is willing to settle on or pushing for 55/45, but i doubt with greed and an ego big as Floyd's, Floyd will want it the split that close. I see Floyd wanting 65/35 or pushing for 70/30. I remember Pac team once was very interested in Pac's pull at the table and mirrored that split in favor of Pac, when they thought Pac was on top. It is here in this article below.

This spell bad news for us fans, because we are going against greed and ego until anything we have seen in the boxingscene world before. Arum and Floyd are the same mofos. Floyd reminds of that King Dwarf in "The five armies". Dude see all that money and all of sudden doesn't want to share, and Arum hears about all that money and want as much as possible. Wish someone could tell them there is enough to go around and, if they earned it, they can make more in the rubber match.

No you got it all wrong. Yes Floyd and arum is greedy, but Floyd is pricing himself out when he knows damn well he can't get a fight purse of over 100million plus without Pac.

Floyd is pricing himself out coz he don't want none of that if his '0' is threatened. It's ducksville that you forgot to mention.

Yes, people were concerned that Manny would be making it tough to negotiate yet Manny/Arum were OK with 50/50 and it was Floyd who put out the roadblocks and accusations in 2009. Nothing has changed!

They must get paid to write what they write here.

[WalkerSmith1921]

In what ways Is Arum to blame? What has he done since negotiations begun to sabotage this fight?

I had to take care of business and just came to see this. I will give you the most important way; and that is: He needs to stop running his mouth about Floyd signing a contract when Manny never signed one.

Floyd is waiting on the networks (showtime, HBO) to agree before anything can proceed any further.

“Arum has been saying a lot of inaccuracies,” Espinzoa told the Los Angeles Times in a telephone interview Saturday.

“Here’s where we are: There is no contract awaiting Floyd’s signature, and Bob Arum knows that. Floyd has represented to [CBS/Showtime Chairman] Leslie Moonves, to [his manager] Al Haymon and to me personally that he wants to make the fight, and we are making very good progress. But there are no contracts. There are open issues between Showtime and HBO that are being resolved.

“No one is waiting on Floyd, and for Bob Arum to say otherwise is a misrepresentation of the facts.



Seems the bottom line is that Arum is lying out of his ass, not to mention he always starts talking like this when he is trying to promote Manny, who just happens to have a movie coming out.
Anybody who takes Manny and Arum at their word is completely blind to reality.

Lol Mayweather is looking so bad, i read that he was at the Clippers game n the crowd was hollering !!!fight Pacquiao!!!

I have yet to hear word from Team Mayweather that they have agreed on a 60/40 purse split or any of the terms or conditions that has been laid out by Bob Arum on this fight. At least to me, this sounds like a ploy and spin control coming out of Top Rank's camp in a attempt to pressure Floyd in agreeing to their terms, by negotiating through the press and to discredit him in the process while turning the public opinion against him.

This, I'm pretty sure it went something like:
Mayweather sends offer for split (something like 70/30)
Arum sends counter offer of 60/40
Arum begins to pressure Floyd by telling the media that they've agreed to terms and now "only Floyd is holding up the fight".
