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

[ThePrince]

Arum: 'If you want to get the fight done for May 2nd, let's work out the deal ASAP. Some of the so-called issues can be hashed out in 10 minutes'

Floyd: 'Aruba, Jamaica oooo I wanna take ya. Bermuda, Ba*****, come on pretty mama. Key Largo, Montego. Baby why don't we go...'

Flowmos- 'Arum don't want the fight'.

Garcia won't take that fight after being out for over a year haven't fought at 140 yet doesn't know how body can adjust to weight and pretty sure manny will want him at 144 because manny going down to 140 for no belt will be pointless can't sell that fight plus Garcia still in discussion with top rank to finally get a tune up fight after most of case was tossed out by judge manny options are limited and more then likely will be Vargas anyone you mention either has a fight coming up or won't risk that big of leap besides khan but he with haymon Provo/Matthysse won't be rdy for a big turn around in time once that fight finalized Garcia will need a tune up against a tomato can that just leaves Vargas as best opponent available I don't see khan fight being made if pac vs floyd fight fail cause arum going try and rip haymon in media and haymon can sell khan gullible butt on getting floyd fight

Robert Garcia already said Mikey would take the fight and I do see it selling, two high profile guys. The more you listen to the Garcias, the more you realise they are about the money, that's why Mikey wanted to go to Haymon in first place.

It won't be Vargas, you can park that idea.

144 is still a welterweight fight. I'm also tired of that trend of fighters and fighting weight for a welterweight champion. You would be too if you were being objective.

I'm a Matthysse fan before I'm a Pacquiao fan, I want the fight at 140 and I want Lucas to win. Pac-Algieri should have been at 140 too but 144 isn't the end of the world. It's a tremendous all action match-up.

I'm not someone who hates catchweights, I didn't complain after May-Canelo at 152, I think Floyd would have beaten him at 155 at that point in Canelo's career anyway.

But ultimately, Pac, Floyd, Canelo and now Cotto too their own records a disservice with catchweights because fans judge them for it and that's fair enough.

he doesnt want to fight manny, period. does that count as a roadblock? because at this point i think floyd is basically saying i dont want it.

This is why we are in the year 2015 and the fight wasn't made yet. Floyd always has a roadblock ready.

I think what is happening is Manny's side has agreed. So Floyd is throwing everything possible at them to see what sticks. It's just crazy.

Even that meeting at the Miami Heat game. I'm sure that Floyd put some crazy pressure on Manny/Koncz that if they don't agree, Floyd would pull the plug. Since Manny wants it more than Floyd, Manny didn't care and agreed to Floyd's BS.

Yea I agree with gracias speaking on manny fight but I just don't see them putting him in there for his first fight in over a year and haven't fought above 140 yet ppv numbers will be trash and would likey have to stage that over in China

What contract, bob?

[MRCHOKEaMF]

Yes it's my speculation that that's the fight he wants all along and that his talks for Pac are a front....thats why he's moving at a snails place with Pac. Wouldn't surprise me at all if he's in deeper negotiations with Cotto than Pac.

Not a bad move, cause he knows Cotto will leave arum again and make the fight, and not have to put up with Arum trying to negotiate in the media. All the Arum "not wanting to make the fight" comes from Pac's side except for floyd saying it. When people who work with pac* (roach, ariza, and pac's personal attorney) say its bob I'm gonna go with that, cause they are on pac's side of things and are saying its BOB. He's trying to negotiate thru the media, why dont he just bow out and let Pac get the money he needs to stay out of jail and live comfortably. But bob prefers for manny to continue to be in debt to him. And if Manny really wants the fight bad enough, he could just do what oscar, floyd, and cotto did, and get paid.

In All Honesty...Arum Need To Step The *** Back! Stop Trying to sabotage things and let talks continue. Don't set no deadline or any of that crap. Let them continue to work things out! He is the only one throwing out negative comments and trying to ruin everything by making comments like this through the media TYPICAL BOB ARUM! Stop trying to rush things and let negotiations takes it process!

Arum like I've always posted on this forum he could careless if the fight happens or not because he makes more off of Pacquiao fighting others than he will off of Manny Fighting Mayweather so he seems like the only One that is trying to rush things and set deadlines and throw a wrench in this thing

Still plenty of damn time between now and May! This fight don't even need a Press Tour, it has been selling itself for the last 5-6 Years!

Both Sides and Both networks need to stop playing with the People Emotions and get this **** done already. Tired of talking about it!

Manny doesn't have the right people in his corner to break off from arum like Oscar and floyd had so you can't expect him to leave his comfort zone which I can understand on his part
