Bunch of LIARS!

I cannot fathom why some fans still feel the urge to open their mouths at this point. It's as if they want to expose themselves to more ridicule or something. The best thing to do right now is just shut up and wait for more revealing news to emerge before speaking your thoughts because honestly, this whole mess may not be clear as day, but most points popping out makes the Mayweather team more suspect at this point. I'm with Sekondzout on this, I prefer to just shut it and analyze later when all facts are out. A lot of people made ownage posts in some other threads and are still probably doing it here. It's not funny anymore, it's pathetic.

Well, good for you.

Some people would say that is one of two things.... either being unable to form an opinion, or having no balls..... but I agree with you, remaining neutral and observing, can sometimes be a much better option.

But it's kinda hard to sit through pages of childish "coward" comments, from little kids who would most likely piss themsleves if they ever got into a real fight.

Especially when you connect the dots and realise that in boxing whenever any dodgy/bizarre **** occurs, and Bob Arum (coincidentally) just happens to be right in the middle of it - yet again..... then he is up to something.

And apparently David Mayo from the Grand Rapids Press seems to agree with me. Here, I'll post this again, because it appears that you may have missed it......

We still have no official word on the next Manny Pacquiao fight. The window of exclusivity for negotiating with Floyd Mayweather went bye-bye last Friday and now Top Rank has moved on to other potential opponents. It's clear Team Mayweather doesn't want to fight this year, but now some media members are saying the same thing about Top Rank's Bob Arum, and that he never wanted the fight this year either. David Mayo of the Grand Rapids Press says Arum never negotiated in good faith:

Arum relayed through HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg the terms he would find acceptable for making the fight. You can bet they were favorable terms for Pacquiao, which is to say terms Mayweather very well might find onerous. They probably included a 50-50 split in money, or something close to it. Arum steadfastly refused to specify that. Second, Greenburg relayed those terms to the Mayweather camp, which never responded to them. Arum might as well have called me to relay the terms. I have all the same phone numbers and could’ve had the same conversations -- or lack thereof.

Mayo says that's not a negotiation as Arum calling it:

My 30-year-old Webster’s New World Dictionary -- the one that one of my dogs tore the cover off of years ago -- defines negotiate as “to confer, bargain, or discuss with a view to reaching a settlement.” Arum got a lot of mileage with the media in saying Manny Pacquiao had agreed to terms. Sending a message through an intermediary who isn’t empowered to respond or counteroffer doesn’t qualify. And that Greenburg converses often with the Mayweather camp means absolutely nothing.

He says Arum's always wanted a Pacquiao-Antonio Margarito or Pacquiao-Miguel Cotto fight:

Failing that, what Arum planned all along was to have two of his own fighters face each other on Nov. 13 -- Pacquiao against either Miguel Cotto or Antonio Margarito -- which seems the near-certain resolution now. That keeps all the money in house, gets another probable win for Pacquiao, and keeps him from being exposed to Mayweather for a few more months, if at all.

Mayo said Mayweather adviser Leonard Ellerbe predicted this is exactly what would go down back at the start of the year.
