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

[Robbie Barrett]

There is time but the remaining issues can be ironed out within hours if Floyd wanted to if you read the article I linked. It gives Arum the sense he is stalling and doesn't really want the fight. If this is all a front, pac still has to find the plan B and negotiate for that fight and there may not be much time for that.

Arum has had plan B lined up since before Algieri.

I feel Jr. never wanted to sign the fight. It's all been to hype him up for his May fight. Just to make people remember he exists if you will.

He's done this every year just about. Act like he's up to negotiate and then blow off the negotiations where Pac goes his way and Jr. goes his.

It's only been worse this year because of how much closer than ever it seemed to be. I still don't think Jr. has any plans outside of avoiding Pac and finishing off his Showtime contract.

Has Pacquiao signed anything or did I miss that?

Its easy Bob just make sure the draft is right in the first place instead of telling the world you agreed to everything which is not the case other wise the first draft you send back would be right .

Too funny, 40 years in the business and your offering advice to him.

They've agreed in principle to demands put forth by Floyd.

But you're to simple to understand the relevance of that.

Same goes for Mayweather's Plan B. He is hell bent on fighting May 2nd and it will be at least a couple weeks before Arum-Pacquiao do walk away if it does come to that. If it does, it leaves Mayweather a short window to negotiate with Cotto for a May 2nd fight that would be a huge loss financially for Showtime.

Like I said the contract is more complicated than any that has ever been put together and its going to take a bit of time to go through. To say it would take "10 minutes" or hours to put together is just plain ******.

He said Pac has NO history of lying. My point was there IS a history. He is a liar. History doesn't disappear coz you came clean. That's why it's called 'history.'

Cheers.

Well, thats that then. Floyd shouldn't be made to fight a liar

What does this post have to do with boxing?

Where do Arum, Pac and Koncz mention 'in principle'? Do I need to read between the lines? Didn't see any lines to read. Show me one source where they say in principle. Just one.
