The article is "BOB ARUM DIGS HIS HEELS IN; CLAIMS IT'S STILL A "SLOW DANCE" TO RESOLVE MAYWEATHER VS. PACQUIAO ISSUES"

Yeah I just saw that. Sigh...I'm getting excited again.

When your best win of your career is Corrales it is weak...in context with the boxer of Floyd's caliber.

corrales was undefeated and a ko artist....but compared to a guy that gets ko'd as often as *pac, it means nothing

You think the winner of that fight is a good fight for Manny?

lol Matthysse-Pacquiao is a fking great fight, don't act like you wouldn't be tuning in. Provo maybe less so but if he beats Lucas people will buy in.

Assuming Matts wins, yes I do, so long as its after and not instead of Floyd/Manny. Matts, was being groomed for a shot at Floyd. He just lost to Danny. He beats Provo and I can see him getting the Manny fight.

He's not a HOFer.

Third straight junior welterweight in a row. If Mayweather did this he would get slammed by you and others and rightfully so.

Mattthysse is totally unproven at 147. Pacquiao needs to start fighting top welterweights or move down.

It's not a great fight at all.

That would be a **** fight. Provo isn't any barometer to be used. If Pacquiao doesn't fight Floyd I'd like to see him fight a bonafide welter contender. A good one.

Easily do-able especially with millions on the table. Golovkin fought Rosado in January, Ishida in March, Macklin in June. Mikey Garcia wants the Pacquiao fight too, he has plenty of options. He doesn't need the Floyd fight.

But but y'all said Floyd needs PAC, so now PAC doesn't need Floyd ooohhh

I really wouldn't pay for that fight. Just like I didn't pay for Floyd vs Maidana II. Just not worth the money.

We can strongly agree to disagree because for the level and pedestal that Manny is placed on that is not a great fight for him.

From FightHype:

FightHype has been advised that contrary to some reports, a deal between the two networks is actually close to being reached, and from what we've been led to believe, there's virtually no issues left to be resolved between the two fighters, which is what Arum himself first told us three weeks ago when he boldly proclaimed, "we've agreed to everything, period!"

I suppose that's a good sign for those of us who actually want the fight

Seriously, what the eff, man?

Arum is lying. He's trying to say that Mayweather's side is doing nothing to make Floyd's side look bad.
