Comments Thread For: HBO on Mayweather-Pacquiao: We Stand Ready To Go!

[stovepipe]

But why bother responding if everything is good on their end? Particularly in the new climate that has been fostered in the last week or so.
And if it where on the fighter now to agree to terms, why would they even potentially mess up what seems to be the most progressive talks in years?

This is such a poor question I cannot believe it is being asked in good faith. The obvious answer, as stated, is that they are not going to allow themselves to be set up as the fall guy. They want the fight. Pac wants the fight. Arum wants the fight. What is the issue? What is the specific issue that is the hold up? Why don't Espinoza or Floyd tell us that? Notice how in the past Floyd always had something specific to hang his hat on? And he would repeat it over and over and over. Take da tests! New cut off date! Fifty five fourty five! Sixty fourty! Put it on showtime! Fight at MGM! Fight May second! Floyd has no specific thing to scream out there, no specific issue to scream over and over to try and pretend there is an issue. So now it has become very very very vague. EVERYONE involved should say they are ready to go and they have no issues, if that is the case. If everyone says that than what is the hold up? Oh everyone is not saying that. Lets see, who is saying that? Pac, Arum and HBO. Who is not saying that? Showtime, Espinoza, Floyd. Floyd is out of SPECIFIC BS excuses so now he wants everyone to keep quiet and keep everything vague so the truth does not come to light, and ironically, THAT is going to be there flimsy excuse.....oh you guys talked to the press too much!

Did Arum recently say those things to ESPN? If yes, then either this is all an elaborate promo for fight...or he is deadset on sabotaging negotiations. Those comments, at this time, are appalling.

I just want to see the best fighters, the exciting fighters, and the fighters willing to fight, no matter where they are from. You think HBO hates American fighters? No. Your brain cannot be that microscopic. Must be a troll post

You realize Arum, Koncz, and Pacquiao have been caught lying and Koncz already admitted to lying and thrown Arum under the bus? HBO's statement itself is full of holes. Its one thing to speak out but if youre not being truthful whats the point.

How'd that work out for you?

[stovepipe]

it almost seems like arum and hbo are staying at the table just long enough to where floyd will get blamed even if the true fault is that of hbo. i dont trust anything arum says tho surprised anyone else does either to be honest manny fan or not

Even you don't believe what you are writing....please.

[stovepipe]

Of course you agreed with the angry FIomo, one FIomo defending another kind of like you do with Floyd no matter what... You FIomos still defend that $40 mil offer... enough said there...

I posted a point in response to FIomos trying to change the subject... FIomos reported me and a FIomo moderator banned me for "annoyance"...

What are the issues that still need to be worked out? FIomos can't answer that

Yes they still defend the fourty million offer. The fact that it was ever made and the fact that it was defended and the (lack of) logic they use to defend it, is laughable.

[stovepipe]

Here's the reaction of everyone in the world who wants to see the fight when we get positive news about the fight:



When Floyd and FIomos see positive news about making the fight is out in the news:

They get mad... "Stop lying, the fight terms ain't agreed to"

When Ariza says fight isn't happening:

Floyd: Thanks for setting the record straight

Anytime anyone says Floyd needs to fight Pacquiao for his legacy or anything positive about making the fight, Floyd gets angry about that...

Why would someone get angry about the fight happening UNLESS they don't want the fight to happen?

this is true

Did Arum recently say those things to ESPN? If yes, then either this is all an elaborate promo for fight...or he is deadset on sabotaging negotiations. Those comments, at this time, are appalling.

And why do you think Arum would sabotage the fight?


Btw I loled on the elaborate promo

[stovepipe]

Its plausible but I wouldnt believe it coming from Arum's mouth. He's already been caught in multiple lies during these latest negotiations.

On Friday he said everything was fine and dandy and should be done by Sunday, now he's saying there's still some issues.

I can bat down this nonsense so easily. Your post is misdirection. What he means is HE felt everything was fine. Then he DISCOVERS that the other side apparently STILL HAS issues.

That does not make him a liar, not that I think Arum is always telling the truth but I do believe he wants the fight to happen.
