    Who did greenberg and co. Negotiate with from maywaethers camp?

    I find this funny in this article that an anonymous informant made this
    statement...

    “There were a lot of warning signs on Pacquiao,” says one person who followed the negotiations, “but HBO missed them because the guys there don’t have their ear to the ground. By the time they woke up to the problem, it was too late. And there’s an arrogance. It’s like, ‘We’re HBO. We can buy what we want. We’re too big to fail.’ But when they can’t get what they want by throwing money at people, they have no idea how to deal with the situation. Look how helpless they were when they tried to make Mayweather-Pacquiao.

    Was Floyd telling the truth?? Because Who has HBO (ROSS GREENBRUG) revealed they talked with from Floyds camp?? Here we have someone w ARUM and co. admitting that HBO DID A PISS POOR JOB in the Mayweather / Pacquiao negotiaition....

    Now if HBO is doing everything it can to secure a manny/floyd, fight, then why are people in the industry saying they are not???

    This is also another point deduction against ARUM AS WELL. HE STATED HBO WAS IN THE NEGOTIATIONS, BUT WITH WHO? AND WAS IT THE SAME TERMS THAT ARUM PROPOSED EARLIER?
    We all know about the COUNTDOWN lock, but was it a countdown clock to take our old terms?? Mayweather and co never came out and said what these terms were, could this be an indication that they never even received them?


    You can find the article here...



    Now this is funny because while I have watched behind the scenes at everyone saying that FLOYD WAS A LIAR ETC.... HERE WE HAVE SOMEONE IN COHOOTS WITH ARUM SAYING HBO WAS "HELPLESS" WHEN TRYING TO NEGOTIATE MANNY/FLOYDS FIGHT...

    This is a logical thread so please dont come with the bashing and crazy talk...




    LETS GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS...

    At this point, we don't know all the details. There's been a back and forth 'He said/She said', but nothing really conclusive.

    Maybe they're still working to get the fight made behind the scenes. Or not.

      good article. It seems like it was a lot of shucking and jiving and smiling and stabbbing going on behind the scenes. It reminds me of an episode of Boardwalk Empire ro something. And at the end of the day, if boxing can get more exposure then it's all good.

      However, this article was written by Thomas hauser. He is a known Top rank flunky. So i don't know if we can really trust his non bias insight.

        I think when Greenburg spoke on the 'negotiations/no negotiations' thing he said he spoke to Al Haymon, something about Haymon saying he had everything under control but never actually responded with an answer, I may be wrong though.

          Like I've said before, there were no second negotiations. Bob Arum contacted Ross with an offer, Ross contacted Al to relay the message.
          Al already knew Floyds stand on the cutoff thing (No cut offs), so what is there to talk about if you're not gonna do the "No cut off" deal?

          Arum Talked to Ross, Ross Talked to Al. The negotiations had already taken place the first time, 2nd time was Arum, Ross and Al Talking about cut offs......

          When Bob made the statement "We're not gonna negotiate thru the media this time", what did ol uncle Bob go and do?
          He started killing the fight by negotiating thru the media, then murdered the fight by putting up that BS clock.

                no wonder negotiations failed... I doubt greenberg can understand uncle wifebeater's stream of unintelligible rants.
