How about you be more polite so i won't have to report you? -
First off, why does Lem keep saying the fight fell apart TWICE due to the Olympic Style drug testing? It only fell apart once because of that, the second negotiations either didn't place or nobody responded. Either way, Lem is incorrect...
And, regarding the rest of the article, as much as I would like to believe Arum is just saying this to piss off GBP, I really think he believes the fight could me made with Don. Plus, I think Bob really wants to make the fight too. People say he doesn't want his pride pupil to lose, so he is avoiding tough challenges. But think about it, Pacquiao had 2.9 million PPVs buys with Cotto, Clottey and Margarito. If Pacquiao vs. Floyd Jr was made, that would probably be close if not exceeding that 2.9 number. You run only one promotion instead of three and you make the same amount of money in one night that otherwise took almost a year and a half for the time needed to get in 3 fights. And if the fight is close or has a controversial conclusion, then you can make another one and you get another 3.0 million PPVs. Bob is alot of things (sleezeball, scumbag, etc.) but one thing we all know about him is he loves money, and Pacquiao vs. Mayweather has dollar signs all over it...Comment

You say that however we don't even know the terms of the second negotiations because according to Floyd Jr and Al Haymon, they never happened. Therefore, to say the way the only fight will happen is OSDT doesn't fly here. Team Floyd either never responded or they weren't even talking/negotiating. Either way it that implies that if nothing happened, they obviously didn't talk about OSDT and if that is the case, then how can that be the root cause!Originally posted by drool View PostComment

The total contradiction from Team Pacquiao since 2009 is why most believe the fight is being held up by none other than.Originally posted by ronniejunior View Post
Manny Pacquiao cannot speak for himself and lets all the rumors from his camp fly creating even more controversy to an already controversial topic.
So NOW the fight can be made IF Floyd gets with Don King???
What happen to random drug testing???
I'm expecting the follow up:
News Flash: Arum Claims He Never Made Any Statements About Floyd Getting With Don King
Arum is now claiming it's total bull**** and he never said something so preposterous.Comment

Bob loved floyd and he loved oscar. The dude is like that crazy ex-girlfriend who shows up at your engagement party and wants to talk things over......get over it already.
How does anyone realistically think he was willing to make a floyd manny fight with golden boy when he wont even say their name...."now with the experience that I had with the company that mayweather would be dealing with"
The only dealings should be bob with a box of tissues talking things over with a shrink. He is truly scorned.
Anyone know the status of floyd's gbp deal. Is he signed for a certain number of fights or a time period?
Mosley had to leave, if marquez leaves he's next and now this........very apparent who is at fault right nowComment

Floyd Jr has no deal with GBP! Although he has used them for his last few fights, it's always on a fight by fight basis. So Floyd basically can go to whatever promoter he wants which is why Arum keeps pushing Floyd to fight for Don King. Personally, I hope that is the case. Then we can really see if Arum has been bull****ting us this whole time or if he really means it. It's the only way we will know for sure...Originally posted by Buffalo View PostComment
