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

[Hype job]

The framework for the contract is agreed upon...not the actual contract....semantics is paramount for lawyers.

They know this.

But will act like they don't.

This is why Manny deserves some of the blames too even though it was always Floyd and Arum that couldn't get along. The only reason Arum has any say is because Manny let him. If Manny had the same business relationship that Cotto has with Arum, then the fight would've happened years ago. Manny said he's fine with tge May 2nd date, but the old POS is still trying to request another date even though both fighters are fine with the May date, but it's not even about the date, it always boils down to ego, power, and money.

Arum just wants to feel like he's in control, but maybe he should get the memo that Floyd isn't one of his in-house fighters and need to accept that the only reason he's relevant and can pull some power plays in the negotiations is because Manny is too naive for his own good.

Doesn't work that simple when you have the other side that's negotiating half assed.

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.

Lol exactly, they jump on things said in jest and constantly reference these quotes that support their agenda.

They are spin doctors who pretend not to be able to read between the lines.

Fellas, why is it that you can be literal whenever Floyd says anything but it's a problem when posters treat Bob the same way?

We';ve agreed to all the negotiation points and terms. Manny has signed off on it Koncz said

If that's not playing to the media, I dont know what is.

Yeah, in principle.

'Signing off on it' another way of saying the proposed stipulations and requirements have been agreed upon by Manny and that they're ready to agree and sign the official contract.

damn, got heeeeem

[BoxingIsGreat]

Hype job you're right

Arum is trying to get the fight signed asap

He's not used to leaving little time for promotion

He's rarely if ever done it

Well, this is not his choice, he has none if he really wants this fight. He's being dictated to and controled in this case. He's admitted himself that they are the B-side, and are being treated as such. He's not in control at all. That's what's really eating Arum inside and out.

He sounds like a little stood up girl! Enjoy the waiting, Bob, but the fight is happening. I'm optimistic about this.

And, I never believed the 60/40 thing, not for a second. I always thought 70/30 was too generous to Pac at this point. Maybe that's the hold-up.

Really? Arum is the lawyer who graduated cum laude from Harvard.

[SolonGee]

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 .

Floyd havn't made the contract yet. A-side send list of terms and conditions to B-side. Obviously NOT the official contract. B-side let A-side knows they agree. Then A-side must make the contract with Floyd's signature and sent to B-side to sign. That's why Pacquiao keep saying they're waiting for Floyd for the signed contract.

[Fetta]

Some of you are just being played by Arum but dont seem to mind or even know it

If the framework is "agreed" upon then why are they pretending Floyd needs to do something?
