Dan Rafael on Stephen Smith radio show.

[Carpe Diem]

Sellout journalist.

[Joe Beamish]

Rafael points out that Floyd IS finally paying attention to the details of the contract, where he wasn't before. And he wants to change them. So...we now know that the terms have NOT really been agreed to, and Rafael believes (his word) the fight won't get made this year.

Last week I really kinda thought it would happen, if not 5/2, then soon. But the pattern has fully re-emerged and now I really doubt it.

What dan is saying backs up arums early comments all along.

They agree and sign of on the conditions sent by floyds team, only for floyds team to find another sticking point that pacs team needs to agree to again and again. It's basically a moving target. Floyd has shown that he will pull anything including the bs glove gate he pulled on maidan at the last hours leading up to the fight

So arum was right in assuming terms were agreed to

[VERDUGO]

-- Rafael doesn't believe the fight will happen in 2015.
-- Ultimately it comes down to Floyd.
-- If the fight doesn't happen, it will be because of Floyd's "my way or the highway" ego. Not because he's "ducking", but because he's so particular about every detail. His ego needs to be preened over and over again, and if it's not...he won't fight.

That is ducking a fight...

So dan rafael clarifies the whole "sign the contract" issue... and it sounds exactly like one of those "pact^ds" said it was... they agree on prinicple then they sign a physical contracts... of course... floyd fans will defend floyd no matter what

[Aristocrat]

*** May 2nd if the fight needs more negotiating then make it happen for June or July.

Arum.tried to be slick like he does with his fighters contracts and tbe wasnt having it

Arum is so much of a snake he had Chavez Jr sign an.extension and.told him it was visa paperwork

[Carpe Diem]

I agree with the part where he says Floyd is an egotistical control freak, but if this fight doesn't happen, it won't be just Floyd's fault. Dan is quick to call out Floyd's side, but will hesitate to call out Pac's side for their blatant public deception. ****ing sellout.

Lol, you are reaching. Pacs team agrees to terms floyds team sent only for floyds team to find a new sticking point to their own terms.....

There's a reason Floyd and Espinoza is vocal about negotiations but vague on the actual hold up...
