Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: No Urgency on Mayweather Side, It's Terrible!

[joseph5620]

You have Koncz saying that this fight doesn't need to do a lot of promotional tours and the can will sell itself, then you have Arum saying there isn't much time to promote a fight that will itself with little to no promoting and is trying to act like he's in control when everyone knows he has no leverage to dictate the terms. He just can't stand the fact that for the first time in many years, his side is the B-side.

He's resorting to his usual PR tactic bull**** and probably has every intention to not let the fight happen. Pacquiao's camp is an unorganized mess. Koncz said they'd take the Floyd's camp approach and not negotiate through the media, but Arum has different agendas. Say what you want about Floyd's camp, but at least they stick to one statement and are on the same page.

As soon as Arum started talking about needing additional promotion and dates I kne he didn't want this fight.


This is no different than that stadium BS. Only an idiot would believe this fight needs additional promotion.

Why does no one blame showtime? I don't mean floyd, showtime the network.

“We’re all done,” Arum told Fight Hub TV and others while in Colorado this week. “We’ve signed everything, agreed on all the terms. As far as we know, we’ve been told by the highest authority that Mayweather’s people have agreed, that the networks have agreed.

Thanks, still didn't see that they've signed the contract already.

Yeah, in principle.

WTF is wrong with you? You made this up in your head and then ran with it. You have nothing to support this yet you have the audacity to actually offer it as a serious post.

Some of you guys exist solely to **** up this site.

Calm down. It's speculation....not everything said here is factual. When there's little to no info from Floyd's side that's all you can do.

Give me some solid proof Arum is blocking this. Why is he meeting with Moonves?

There's no one at Top Rank left for Pac to fight.

I'm not going to show you anything because you're obviously either delusional or blind if you can't see through Arum's agenda.



Did you forget about Jesse Vargas already?

Arum was in fact the one who actually said Pacquiao was afraid of needles the first go-round.

You haven't caught on to the fact that Bob likes to keep his fights IN HOUSE? That way he controls EVERYTHING.

It has nothing to do with his ethnicity, and everything to do with the way he does business.

Pacquiao fought JOSHUA CLOTTEY FFS. You think that fight would of happened if Clottey was with a different promoter.

lulz

Clottey was a solid opponent. And this fight is bigger than anything in boxing history so I don't buy it, he'll still make more from this than any in house fight.

[Vasyl’s dad]

They always said it was agreed in principle.

You're thinking in black and white too much.

They were basically saying "we agreed (in principle) now if you agree let's sign it and get this thing done"

We get it. But people here take everything so literal. "But he said tthere's a contract, HE SAID THERES A CONTRACT!!!" When you realize most people are just simple and ******, their ignorance is easier to deal with. Ive said it from the jump, its never gonna happen because 1 guy. And that 1 guy isn't the one who has put on countless classic fights.

seriously, clottey was in the top 5 and plenty of people argued that he beat cotto

How do you sign something in principle?
