In a long distance conversation with BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard/Viva Sports, Arum said “according to everybody it seems we are moving towards a fight” although he cautioned “you never know.”

I guarantee in that private meeting Floyd advised Pac to drop Arum as soon as possible.

This all sounds good but you have to take anything Arum says with a grain of salt.

In the article he states that HBO/SHO negotiations were done two weeks ago. But only 5 days ago, Stephen Espinoza tweeted that the talks between HBO/SHO were only 62% done.

38 meters "@Rcpenta1977: @StephenEspinoza so where is hbo and showtime in regards to negotiations? how much of the 100 meter dash is left?"

Wow!! It's insane how things change. 3 days ago many analysts put that fight happening may 2nd at less than 10%, now we are 2-3 days away from an announcement. Unbelievably awesome.
