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

[jas]

The deadline they gave Floyd hasn't passed yet. Why is Arum badmouthing him when negotiations are still going on?

Because he badly wants the fight

He even asked the fans to bombard Floyd's social media

If Bob is blocking the fight then Floyd or his team need to come out and give details.

if manny has signed to fight bob should show this contract..b/c showtime says its invisible..

[GRUSTLER]

Of course it's Mayweather. He's been afraid to fight Pacquiao for years, it might be deleterious to his health... Like it or not he has admitted to being scared Pacquiao would hurt him and hasn't changed his stance since, only the words have changed but the lips keep flapping the same ol' same ol'. When he has to talk rationally about it he starts to tear up and go into tantrum mode which leads to a non Pacquiao reason...

The Arum excuse... is the last refuge of the fool that would screw up his own last paydays. People see the shifting dodge that Floyd has been trying to pull now for what it is.

Floyd has always been afraid? Like in 2009 when Pacquiao turned down the fight?

wise up bru..bashing floyd hasnt worked for 6 years..talkin like this is a great way to continue to contradict yourself..bob has done that over and over again..he did in this qoute "we signed everything...we agreed to everything"
had had to put in agree bc it hit him at that moment that no contract has been presented..

at the faithful that take this guy's word. Getting played like a fiddle. But, carry on.

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.

i see your part of the 10% of ppl on this board that actually come here thinking outside the box...great poing

[Balloonknot]

Is this guy really credible or are yall that naive this guy Bob Arum is whats wrong with boxing.

[tiliheels]

For those saying its arum the one to blame check your tiny brains. Do u think he can play games with the top honchos of sho/hbo? And if that coward mayweather has another demand which is to get rid of arum, why doesn't he tell all boxers to get rid of their promotional bosses. Top rank is co promoting this not MP. Idiota. If you're a kid, and you're scared of something you will do all the excuses just to avoid that thing. Keep running you quack quack

did he not just play games with hbo by making them put a FNF's fighter on PPV? didnt he play so many games with HBO that haymon stopped trying to make fights with him so they kicked haymon off the network?? now hbo airs far less fights a year b/c he lied about haymon guys not sending his guys contracts..

Arum says "we've agreed to everything." Espinoza (Showtime) says "agreed to what, there is no contract yet." Koncz says "Manny agreed to a contract in principle." Ariza and Mr. Gacal (Manny's lawyer) says Koncz is an Arum flunkie who does not have Manny's best interest in mind. The best part of this negotiation (hopefully) is that in the end, HBO, Showtime, and CBS executives will tell us what happened, and we don't have to listen to the same cast of characters. Until then, I'll place my bet that Arum is the obstacle, and my opinion is based on history. "Scared of needles," Arum! "Cuts not healed," Arum! "Outdoor stadiums," Arum! Lost Oscar, Floyd, Cotto and Rigo: Arum! Mikey Garcia and Chavez Jr. legal disputes: Arum! "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it."
