Comments Thread For: Arum: If King Gets Mayweather, Pacquiao Deal in The Bag

[dj5thward]

How can Floyd's fans be so blind? It's like having a giant elephant in the room, and no one will notice it. This fight isn't happening simply because of Floyd and no one else. Arum has nothing to do with it. If Floyd really want a fight with Manny, then he should do what Mosley did, and what JMM is rumored of trying to do to get a Manny fight.

Why would the best BOXER and BIGGEST DRAW in boxing make concession with a fighter that cannot speak for himself? And to use your point "If Manny really wants to fight Floyd then he should do what Mosley did and what JMM is rumored of trying to do" and kick Arum to the curb.

he never said he doesnt want to deal with goldenboy. he said its hard to negotiate with them. that means both sides are at fault.

Come on man. Golden Boy would be down to make a deal with Arum at the drop of a dime. The only person that is hard to deal with is Arum. Anyone who tries to say other is most definitely delusional. Golden Boy tried to neogtiate a deal for Mosley to fight Pac the first time in 09 and it didn't happen. As soon as Shane left GB, he got the fight. JMM has been trying to get a 3rd fight with Pac since their 2nd match and no luck. Now that it is documented and a fact that JMM is leaving GBP, Arum is willing to set up that fight? What is wrong with you guys? No one is attacking Arum or Manny. The facts are right there. Golden Boy has always been willing to work with Arum not the other way around.

Ok, if that is the case. who said this then?

"But not to do this fight would slow down the momentum of boxing."

Well...... He was drunk at the time when he made that statement.

Yeah...... right.

So basically Arum is putting road blocks on a deal because he doesnt want to deal with GBP.. Got it.

The fight can be make in a split second if Floyd decide to co-promote with Don King. The Drug testing isn't an issue anymore since Manny has already agreed to it. All that is left for Floyd is to Co-promote with King, and rapidly sign the contract days after the Mosley fight so JMM won't get the chance to beat him to it first.

EXACTLY! Atleast you got it. I can't believe some of these posters on here getting mad for basically saying what Arum is saying he is doing? It's ridiculous.

lol No he hasn't. Team Mayweather is pulling teeth to get even a week cutoff date still.

and lets keep it clear for every single mayweather fan out there...its your boy thats holding this fight up. Not bob, not manny, not roger, not floyd sr, its floyd jr period. Stop free basing crack please.

did arum just not basically tell you who the hold up was??? Its arum not wanting to share that fight dough with gbp (oscar/schaefer)..

Hence he and donk king could get it done in an hour????

do you honestly think floyd is gonna drop testing because king is involved???

hell no!!!!

So its basically arums fault this is what everyone has been saying since the beginning..
You are defending this liar/crook??? Lol
you really are drunken lol

remember the countdown clock and all that ****???

how it was floyd that was afraid??

Well now he's saying that its basically golden boy, but i guarantee golden boy wasnt asking for too much, arum doesnt want his cash cow to get whooped just yet.

Just as arum is trying to whoo fighters from their respective promoters to simply fight pacquiao, once mayweather beats him, he wont be able to use that as leverage.

he has a personal vendetta against delahoya.

Plain and simple.
