Comments Thread For: Arum, HBO Sports Prez Talk Mayweather-Pacquiao Latest

[kej718]

Hirschman makes it sound like HBO's getting the short end of the stick. Like "fine, I guess we have to do this." At least their working hard to make it happen anyway.

Technically they don't even need to be involved. Manny is not signed to HBO his promoter is. Floyd is signed to Showtime (remember 1 of Floyds demands earlier on was the fight should be on Showtime).

The problem is the rebroadcast of the fight. Last time (Lewis-Tyson), the winners network got it. Showtime offered HBO the same deal but they don't want it.


So they are not really doing everything in their power to make the fight.


What other issue could it be aren't the networks getting the same split?

They should just do it on CBS, and do a joint card on free TV after that.

Funny how everyones calling Floyd a liar in the previous article yet didnt Bob and Koncz both, say the broadcasting issues were resolved last week during the private meeting? And didnt HBO already say earlier their good to go, but these issues are resolved as of today? With 2 more issues to work out lol........love Bob and his inconsistencies, Mayweathers the only semi consistent one

Kontz said he called arum and they had solved the issues, arum has said that floyds side keeps making new demands everytime bob and co. Agree to a demand, mayweathers side keeps making up a new one. Mayweather is such a liar, he set up that meeting to make it look like he's interested when he really doesn't have anything to do with negotiations. Arum and moonbes and hershman and their lawyers work on everything.

Fuck I can't believe people still give media coverage to this senile old man. He contradicts himself every time he speaks into a microphone and lies when he has a camera in front of his damn face. Why would anyone believe anything he says anymore. Shit even if it fits my agenda I don't believe anything this dude says.

the devil said that there's alot of devil in the details.

Arum told AP the networks made deal for #MayweatherPacquiao. 1 network told me just now "not true." Waiting to hear back from the other.

They will ignore that. If it doesn't fit their narrative it doesn't count to them.

3rd network source just said there's no Showtime/HBO deal yet on #MayweatherPacquiao despite Arum's comments to AP. "Nothing has changed."

I respectfully disagree, I guarantee these "new" demands are the same demands Floyd has been asking for. Plus all I was saying is there are Multiple conflicting reports coming out of Top Rank and HBOs side, really no inconsistencies with Floyd and Showtime, I mean I dont like Espinoza as much as the next guy but he has called Bob out on his BS multiple times during these negotiations.

I mean HBO said they werent an impediment days ago, but are still negotiating these network issues today?
