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

[IMDAZED]

I think it's just a battle of wills. Neither side is willing to concede until they feel they necessarily have to. This is,mostly about the network issues and how money will be split amongst the various psrties. HBO doesn't have the upper hand and they don't like that. Floyd and SHO know they are holding the chips and they are willing to sit it out until they get what they want. A lot of blame to go around here but that's negotiations. There's still a good bit of reason to believe a deal is possible though. Both sides remain committed for now

Yup -- seems that way to me too.

oh yea...you're the Super Bowl champion

Yes and it was a great game this year, so.....

[HeGotPacProblem]

Do you have any idea on what he is taxed on that income by the US gov't? I would say no, so please dude no more speculating on your part like the cotto/Floyd BS you floated earlier.

let's just hope for the fight.

What bs? That's his plan B is it not? Im not his accountamt counting his dollars nor am I one to care what another person makes but it's common sense that he's fighting in Macau because of tax issues.

Or because Arum got a sweet deal (for himself) with them.

[The Big Dunn]

Yeah. I don't buy it. Let's see what happens here. In the meantime, I would hope we've learned to ignore Arum's hissy fits.

Dazed that was basically the article I read on Inquistr I was telling you about. Mak is right. think about it like this.

HBO blocks fight. Forces Floyd/cotto2 which does well but still loses money for Sho. The exercise the out and then HBO makes a 2 fight deal for Floyd- Manny and (if he wins) GGG.
HBO gets the biggest fight ever and kills their #1 rival, who won't recover from losing Floyd.

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but man that would be a ****ing coup for HBO.

He is fighting in Macau because he will not get ****d on taxes like he will in the US...simple...who cares why he needs the money or what he does with it? I don't get this fascination with his money...none of your business...and plan b is not Macau....it will be Dubai or Wembley, or else no Khan

Was answering Dunn...plan B for Floyd is Cotto. He was calling that bs.

It's a theory. One I don't buy. At all.

um he didnt pay his taxes, so how is he getting ****d? He will in prison if he doesnt pay.

Seems like a great Plan B, he fights Cotto and becomes LINEAL ww, jr ww, and Middleweight Champion at the same time and retires undefeated. TBE
