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

[jjsmyth87]

How did arum lie? He clearly said there were two issues remaining that need to be solved before a deal is made. How does this article contradict anything? Arum said there's still outstanding issues and now HBO and ShowTime say there's outstanding issues, now all.of a sudden arum is lying?

It is very clear to everybody how scared Miss Flor Mayweather Jr. is when it comes to meeting the Pacman in the ring. Manny Pacquiao already agreed to every demands that Miss Flor Mayweather Jr. insisted....then what other things are needed. HBO made an announcement that they are all set for the fight. So it is very clear that the Mayweather camp is preventing the fight to happen. Please no more lying...make the fight happen. The boxing world will lost its interest in the sport if this fight will not take place.

Why didn't you read the thread title?

Did you not read article or just doing a troll job?

We're talking about one of the biggest fights in history here (yea I know they're both past their primes, but still)

Just because Guerrero and Maidana was announced the last couple weeks of February doesn't mean that one the biggest fights in history is going to be.

Forget Cinco de Mayo Weekend, it's not happening. It's Mexican Independence Weekend or 2016 if ever.

You know how much press tours and all access and 24/7s cost? Why spend money where it's not needed? Just announce the fight and it will promote itself. Advertisements will be all over facebook, twitter, social media, worldstar, posters in bars, espn, commentators in other sports will mention it, magazines, newspapers, and word of mouth. So you're wrong...the biggest fight in history needs the least amount of promotion. Unless they wanted to get the stragglers, I guess they can put a commercial on PBS kids so my 5 year old nephew can get a job and buy the PPV.

holy crap they actually are allowed to make articles that prove arum a liar on these sites lol

It is just amazing to see that even with all the proof ppl here are still saying that Arum is not the problem. The believe what they want to believe and discard the facts that contradicts their agenda.

[jjsmyth87]

Can anyone explain how arum lied? He said there were 2 open issues to resolve and Espinoza said there are more than 2. Who gives a crap? Mayweather is obviously trying to back out and wants to use arum as a scapegoat. Let me ask you this, is bob arum saying the fight is almost done really a good excuse to deny the boxing world this fight again? No, obviously that would just be a lame duck excuse to avoid the fight. Who cares what bob arum says really, quit trying to use him as q scapegoat. Hes optimistic about the fight getting made so what? #sign the contract #fight pacquiao

Well Arum saying so much for the past month for Floyd to sign the contract because he was holding the fight and it wasn't true. That could be said on every negotiation they ever had. He is a proven liar over and over, and a greedy one at that.

But this time you see Pac has distance himself a bit and has been personally actively involved in the negotiation process

How did arum lie? He said there were 2 open issues to resolve, and Espinoza said there were more than 2. So what? This is an obvious campaign to make arum look like a bad guy and duck the fight again. Who cares if arum says there are only 2 issues to resolve. Seriously who gives a crap except you duckweather fans who would rather not see your idol take a beat down like so many other legends at the hands of the pacman. Why does it matter if arum and Espinoza disagree on the number of issues there are left to resolve? Give me one good reason that mayweather should back out because of that. Lmao you guys are a joke. Mayweather could come out tomorrow and say "arum lied about how close the fight was so were going to fight cotto on may 2nd" and you guys would be like yeah screw arum!!!! Pathetic, seriously pathetic
