Comments Thread For: Ellerbe: Fight Not in Jeopardy, Bob Arum is Just Upset

[Nomadic]

I could care less who gets the tickets, pay per view is fine by me. So let's fight.

Not that I totally agree with Arum (everyone knows he can be over the top ALLOT), but it's clear something has been happening behind scene for tickets to just now be getting released. Many people were anticipating ticket sales to start weeks ago. Its put a strain in travel plans for us out of town travelers who are hoping to secure legit tickets (fight or closed circuit) before finalizing travel. Glad to hear Ellerbe finally report that MGM has tickets in hand now.

Floyd better not start with the diva ***** and cause us the fight.

what n the hell r u talking about? this article has nothing to do with floyd

[stephenmc]

Arum acting like a spoiled little child, jesus did he think he wasnt getting tickets or somthing hahaha o fckin die already

[torosboxing75]

The guy hasn't got his tickets with 3 weeks remaining. Is that normal?

[Build That Wall]

This fight probably wouldn't happen if Arum had any control or dictation of any aspect in this fight.

"They have no contract. Nothing" Frankly for Arum to be popping off like this, at this stage in the fight, just goes to show you what a 2 faced piece of **** he really is. Im fully aware that the same can be said about certain memebers of the Mayweather camp, but Id at least hope that this kind of talk would have been settled already.

Bob is gonna outlive every current promoter and drive us boxing fans nuts until we're 6 ft under.

This actually might be good for us fans. Some interesting tweets:

The disaster that is Mayweather Promotions/Haymon handling of May 2 is the greatest development for boxing fans this year

No Deal with cable/satellite providers.... Greater leverage for the providers as day gets closer

No ticket deal... More sponsors and whales get impatient and withdraw their commitments

Ultimately it all leads to.... Fight still happening(win for fans). Less revenue for the stick up artists behind it (win for fans)

all of u idiots blaming floyd or his team have clearly not read the article. has nothing to do with them. its arum and mgm. stop reaching n start reading. too much to ask? i guess so.

Arum and Ellerbe both have valid points... Arum has a right to have a contract by now for tickets and everything involved with the casino. It's obvious Floyd and company were dragging their feet, in many articles they did the same thing during negotiations. However, Ellerbe is right in saying that Arum runs crying to the media when he doesn't get his way because he isn't the lead promoter for a huge fight and he probably is sweating it.

All that being said Arum got what he wanted, Ellerbe sent the contract over after this story broke on Yahoo last night.
