    I'm over this ****!!!!!! Just move on to plan B and make fights that can be made. At this point I'm good with Pac vs Khan.

    Floyd is waiting til the last minute where Pac has no choice but to move on, and than blame him for pulling out. It's a calculated move, Floyd doesn't want this fight.

    Like I've been saying for 6 yrs this fight is not happening! Floyd hates Bob so much, he doesn't want Arum making any money off him. This is a Floyd Arum issue and it always will be!!!

        since when does Arum not blame Floyd?

        Hbo and Showtime say it's each others fault.
        Bob : It's Floyds fault.


        Koncz comes out and says it's the Networks fault
        Bob : It's Floyds fault.

        Bob is just really smart at playing the media, he knows the media doesn't want to hear "floyd haters" that it's NOT Floyd's fault.
        So he gives them what he wants, by also strengthening Pacquiao's image and his.

Neither fighter has lost there cool nor patience besides Arum and he's not even stepping in the square ring. I love it, it is the agony fans felt in the first rounds of negotiations years ago (random testing) ahh let's not forget Lopez/Gamboa the mega fight that should of, would of, could of happened had he not kept stewing it to a vapor dry. Shame Shame Shame.
          I suspect he's the only person who doesn't want the fight.

              It's called finding an angle. He's essentially saying "If you want to negotiate, move from the may 2nd date."

                I think a lot of people are feeling this way. Khan vs Pacquiao Is an Interesting match.

                At this point If Mayweather/Pacquiao gets made,that's great. If not, so be It. It's time that a decision be made so that each man can start preparing for there next opponent.

                  and truth be told it doesn't benefit him much.

                  Pacquiao may take a additional lost, and he knows that his cash cow Pac was severely damaged in PPV drawing by loss to Bradley and Marquez.

                  A loss to Mayweather might completely put a end to the cash cow of his company. I would be surprised if Manny is a ppv fighter at all.

                    He doesn't have to strengthen Pacquiao's Image.

                    Floyd himself said that none of this Is Pacquiao's fault.

                      Especially when the guy who destroys your cash cow is the man you hate.
