Comments Thread For: Bob Arum Gives Update on Mayweather vs. Pacquiao

[AgainstTheRopes]

He never said HBO and ShowTime had made a deal, he only said hes agreed to all of mayweathers terms and nobody has refuted that. Hes waiting on Floyd to say he agrees to the same terms and draw up a contract and sign it and send it to arum. Why is that so hard to understand. Arum has been the only one constantly updating the media on the status of everything.

lol

I cant believe Arum has his own legion of suckups on here.

Arum did say HBO-Showtime have agreed to most major points and that Mayweather, and Mayweather alone, is the hold up.

Id rather get no info than false/biased info any day

Mayweathers silence speaks volumes. Arum and pacquiao have been saying for weeks they have agrees to the terms and are waiting on a contract from Floyd. Floyd has made one interview with a hip hop radio station, because he knew any boxing site would have grilled him about why he hasn't signed off. One interview in two weeks and he didn't even refute when arum said he's agreed to all the terms. Mayweather is trying to back out #sign the contract

Sign the contract that is in the middle of being negotiated?

remaining silent is always better than telling a lie. unless your girl asks you if you are cheating on her. then in that case, go ahead and lie


arum said that their was a gag order in effect until the fight was made or not made. yet everyday its a new arum article.

i don't wanna hear **** about deadlines, and plan b's and c's from either side.

all i wanna hear is that the fight is set for may 2nd or the fight isn't happening.

and when do you ever hear from haymon about anything? NEVER

Haymon doesn't do interviews so he doesn't have to answer why he's been screwing up boxing with all of his tactics. Peter quillen vacating his belt, Danny Garcia fighting rod salka, Adonis Stevenson ducking all the top light heavyweights, so on and so forth. Arum and pacquiao and kontz has been totally transparent the whole time and are the only ones from either side who have given any good information. Arum is the one who started negotiations with les moonves, and pacquiao did the foot locker commercial before mayweather said he would fight pacquiao. Without arum this fight wouldn't even be a possibility right now so I tend to believe arum and his media updates rather than a totally silent Floyd mayweather who always has millions if excuses over the years. Look on YouTube, there's literally hours and hours of footage of mayweather giving hundreds of different reasons why he doesn't want to fight pacquiao. His health was a main reason, pacquiao has a boss WA another, I'm a rich coward and so on. We are tired of excuses and we want Floyd to say yes #sign the contract

He is waiting on Floyd to agree to the terms Floyd set?

He's adding more stipulations as we speak.

This fight is not going to happen. They both can make far more money with a less risky opponent or 2. It just does not make financial sense. PPV buys will only be around 1.5mil cost will be 79.99. There are not that many casual fans out there.

well your business sense is completely wrong so hopefully you are also wrong about the fight not happening.

What most Floyd fans dont get is that there no such thing as a risky opponent for Manny as he has already lost 5 times. Manny's career and legacy is not dependent on staying undefeated and dodging riskier opponents.

floyd wants manny for his 50th win.

manny and bob arum are more than happy to oblige floyd and keep feeding manny rios, algieri type level opponents while both camps use the possibility of both fighting as a way to stay relevant and gain money.

No. Lets be honest both guys have been able to use each other's names to build interest for their other fights. Pac is heralded, despite the Marquez KO, to be the best bet to upset Mayweather and that's been a big part of his lure. If he loses it could be the end of him as a ppv attraction.

Bigpoppapump has officially become the worst poster on this site! If arum says he dreamed that the fight happened, BPP will create a thread for it.

And you'll cosign Arum in each thread.
