Comments Thread For: Arum on Mayweather-Pacquiao: A lot of Issues To Solve

[ChicoEscuelaNYC]

It's like the twilight zone the way bob arum never gets taken to task for contradicting himself from day to day.

[peplz]

Its a lie that mayweather gave these excuses at various times when asked about fighting pac:
1- steroid testing
2- I'm on vacation
3- can't agree on purse split
4- he must sign wit Mayweather promotions
5- he got bradley and JMM problems
6- pac is desperate and that's dangerous, and I can fight 2 fights. it's about working smarter, not harder
7- I won't work with Arum

I'm probably forgetting a few. Lmao

You really want to do this? You're totally spinning and changing the subject, but I will humor you.
Steroid testing was Pacquiao's excuse to not take the fight and walk away from negotiations.

Mayweather went on vacation after trying to negotiate the fight with Pacquiao and failing.

Can't agree on purse split is just a lie that you made up.

Mayweather made a rhetorical statement about Pacquiao needing to sign with Mayweather promotions because Bob Arum was making all of Pacquiao's opponents leave their promoters to make a fight with Pacquiao. (Mosley, Marquez and Bradley)

Pacquiao had just taken two losses in 3 fights and Mayweather never fights opponents that are coming off of losses. His name is Floyd not Manny. Lol.

"Pacquiao is desperate and that's dangerous" is another quote that you fabricated.

Bob Arum has been trying to keep the fight from happening since 2009. So when he says he won't work with Arum its for that reason.

Do you have anymore tales to spin? Lol.

Arum is full of crap...Floyd is not the hold up he keeps throwing up bs and it's stalling fight ... F your money making possibilities ...thus fight could be announced may first and sell out May 2nd and who cares keep it in Vegas ...stop the excuses

the issue isn't selling the tickets, it's getting as many pay per view buys as possible. Also he didn't say he wouldn't do the fight on May 2nd, he just said that he would prefer to do it in June. That's not a road block, that's his opinion

[peplz]

Sooo Floyd Never said Manny needed to fight under Mayweather Promotions, take a flat fee of 40 mill no pay per view, leave his promoter, get vengeance on Marquez, vet etc? Not saying it's all Floyd fault but there been bs terms on both sides that have held this fight up.

Like I already said, Mayweather made a rhetorical statement about Pacquiao needing to fight on Mayweather promotions because Arum had been making Pacquiao's recent opponents leave their promoters and sign with Top Rank to fight Pacquiao. And as we all know Arum has been trying to block the fight from happening since 09'. Saying that Mayweather calling and offering Pacquiao 40 million of his own personal money to fight is somehow him not wanting the fight is the epitome of tale spin. 40 million is the highest guaranteed purse in the history of the sport. As far as the PPV deal goes, Pacquiao just hung up the phone and didn't even try to negotiate or counter his offer. So he couldnt have wanted to fight that much. And Mayweather never fights anyone that is coming off of a loss. So why would you expect him to try to make a fight with Pacquiao after he was brutally ko'd the way he was against Marquez. He still hasn't avenged that loss yet they are trying to make the fight. So what is your point?

if this is true seriously what did he get out of telling floyd to sign he contract i mean seriously guys think about it what does he get out it wont help in negotiations i just wonder what this old man is thinking sometimes

Lmfao!!!
1- May raised steroid testing that had NEVER been done bf EVER . Pac should've agreed, BUT, may made a roadblock to a fight, s roadblock that had never been raised in the history on the sport.
2- I know he went on vacation, but he was on vacation for over a yr, whenever pacs name was mentioned. Lol
3 - purse split is a lie. Lol. May offered a flat fee! And then said he made manny a legit offer. Purse split was a HUGE issue
4 - rhetorical statement. Ok... sure
5- manny whipped bradley, and the statement was made after pac beat Rios so he wasn't coming off a loss, just another excuse
6- whatever the exact words were mayweather admitted to being a coward...a rich coward. Interview wit Costas, Google it.
7 saying u won't make the fight bc of Arum, is another impediment, no matter how ud like to spin it

[cybertiledude]

Arum:
The contract is with Floyd, he needs to sign it.
We are close to getting a deal done.
Mayweather is running scared and wants to fight Cotto.
Manny and Floyd meeting was great, it looks like we will finalise soon.
A lot of issues still need to be solved.


Would Konz grow a pair and tell this fat 4by2 (limey slang) to shut the **** up and put a muzzle on him. His tune changes faster the the wind.

No stadiums thus tune Arum?

Exactly what I wanted to say! Bob Arum is a slimy piece of $h!t!!

[rasdun]

basically, whenever Mayweather was asked about fighting Pacquiao, his response was not, let's get it on or I want that fight. There was always a reason or excuse as to why it couldn't happen. Anyone that doesn't blame both sides really has no clue as to what happened over the past 5 years

[Cinci Champ]

why does Arum have any issue with Cinco De Mayo week for the fight?

Manny fought Mosley and Hatton during the week of Cinco De Mayo..

depending on the article he gives a different answer before it was to honor mexicans now its to give more time to promote the fight lol u cant make this **** up and yet if the fight dont happen all blame will go to floyd it really is remarkable

[Koran]

He really does go by his catchphrase



Yesterday I was lying, today I'm telling the truth

Yeah!!

Yesterday: sign the contract floyd....we agreed to everything.

Today: theres still issues to resolve.
