Comments Thread For: Arum on Mayweather-Pacquiao Meeting, Says Deal Looms

[jas]

its finally happening!

[handwraps]

No lampley and no all access or 24/7.... I think HBO was holding out, and then pac called arum, and arum fixed it.

Lampley doesnt like Floyd, and paulie doesnt like Pacquiao. They should both sit this one out. We need objective people calling the fight. It would be too big for anyones bull**** messing it up.

If it doesn't have Max K then I'm not buying it.

A fight of this magnitude absolutely has to be announced by Michael Buffer, as for the rest of the particulars i dont give a damn! Im stoked!!

the spin cycle is not off..wat happened last night pissed arum off...i see 3 more arum lies before the fight is not done...

whether you like bob arum or not he has been the top promoter or near the top for the last 50 or so years. He has been involved in some of the biggest fights ever, pays his fighters very well, and gets them good fights. He is the only reason this fight is even possibly taking place right now. If he didn't step to les moonves about the fight, mayweather would be off somewhere quacking about his health or looking in a mirror telling himself hes a boss. Arum has been the one person throughout this process who has kept fans abreast of everything that has been going on. He said the networks worked out the issues 2 weeks ago. How is that lying? Floyd said there was something he didn't like about the networks supposedly, maybe that was a new issue or something who knows. You guys love to latch on to every word bob arum says and then you can find ways to say hes lying. Hes done everything he said he was going to do. I still haven't saw one thing that hes been caught lying about. He said Floyd should sign the contract and you guys said hes a liar because theres no contract. Well duh because floyds lawyers need to make one and they need to sign it. Floyd was the one who was holding this thing up the whole time, bob arum didn't lie about anything. Bob arum is truly the past present and future of boxing. Now lets see what lame duck excuse Floyd has to run from this fight now. Hopefully he mans up but I still have a feeling hes going to back out because hes always been scared. #war arum # sign the contract.

Can anyone tell me exactly what issues were ironed out in the secret meeting? Couldn't have been anything contractual wise because proper Pacquiao representation was not present.

Why do I get the feeling the meeting was just to let Floyd vent his animosity and frustrations about..whatever the fck lol and for the sake of the fight Pacquiao jus fcking kept his mouth closed and humbly took it lol for us!

And thats exactly how the photos look!

I'm sure Manny just pick up bits and pieces on what Floyd was saying to him, plus he can't speak English as fast as Floyd speaks so he just stood there and tried to filter out or figure out what Floyd was saying. You can tell the difference when he's speaking his language, he talks fast, but when it's English, he's choosing or trying to come up with words.

No one else should announce it. Michael Buffer and his signature, LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLEEEE.

Why not? It'll bring more drama. We have two great fighters inside the ring fighting, and we have Jim and Paulina arguing. They might steal the show if their arguments turn to pushing and shoving.
