Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao: HBO, Showtime Deal Not Done

[Evol]

It'll be pretty funny if floyd, manny and knocz is actually negotiating, just them 3 and on the low and arum has no clue as to what is going on so he's making up stories to make him feel relevant. #stoplyingbob

Koncz seems positive lately when asked about this fight so maybe they are talking behind the scene.

Arum isn't a liar

I hope the fighters can wear the gloves they personally prefer.

Arum isn't a liar

History says otherwise:

For all of Arum's success, though, he has offended some along the way.

In a 1979 bout, Arum was so outraged by a judge's score he repeatedly yelled "Fix!" in the Puerto Rico ring, prompting a lawsuit by the judge and an out-of-court settlement. In the 1990s, Arum paid a boxing manager who intended to use the cash to bribe a boxing official to help sanction a title fight. And in 2004, the FBI also raided Arum's office because a convicted murderer-informant alleged fight fixing by Top Rank after Arum retained him as a fighter. No indictments were filed.

Arum is also celebrated for saying in 1981: "Yesterday, I was lying. Today, I'm telling the truth."

Bob Arum is coming across as senile right now. "Contracts done waiting for Floyd" "Networks agreed" "Floyd only one stopping it"

Arum doesn't want the fight. Pacquiao and Koncz do...Arum doesn't. He hates that Floyd got away, became the biggest star in boxing, and he can't stomach it.

this is it. it always has been. i've been telling people this for the last 4 years. and im not a floyd fan.

can someone just hire a sniper to take him out before pac and floyd get to old?

Do Arum and HBO promote Bradley and Marquez? This forum has really gone down the drain.

Yes arum promotes Bradley and Marquez uses him when he feels the need to he a free agent

[Robbie Barrett]

Arum keeps making these Pac fans look like fools.

[Heavyfist]

****** idiots. " Arum said dis doe... Arums said dat doe..."

Why are you sniveling Floyd imps keep on ignoring that the HBO President JUST said, the Network negotiations are over, that the only obstacle is Floyd Pac?

Incredible how delusional you are that you will keep ignoring this, and keep saying, " But Arum a liar doe..."

Floyd is the biggest scum and biggest liar there is. If you are going to look at Arum, then Floyd is 100X the piece of shlt of Arum.

Just filed story to http://latimes.com/sports on latest @FloydMayweather @MannyPacquiao update. TV official tells me broadcast deal not final.

Not done, but Thursday talks paused with James Brown as host, Jim Lampley doing play-by-play, Al Bernstein as lead ****yst.

Lance Pugmire @latimespugmire · 7m 7 minutes ago
The talks broke with Jim Gray and Max Kellerman assigned to fighter interviews. Again, not final, but the plan as of now...

Lance Pugmire @latimespugmire · 6m 6 minutes ago
As one individual in the broadcast said, "There's not a fight yet, is there?"
