Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather is Plan A, Pacquiao is Ready To Go

[rckdees]

bob arum's scumbag..... nobody's listening to that forked tongue cretin no matter how many of his personal fluffers he has writing these threads.

And how can you prove that only one representative contacted Arum. How does anyone know anything that GBP, Top Rank, or anyone says is true??? ANYTHING is possible and both sides can be distorting the truth....if anyone believe one article over the other and thinks it is Gospel, is purely naive.

Ill tell you what... one reason why i think that part is true is GBP wouldnt be linking retired federal Judge Weinstein name to it if it wasnt. They would maybe just say they tried to contact him but couldnt, but they wouldnt be adding the judge name to it.

Also, we know for a fact, from Arum's own mouth, that he wanted to go with Pac-JMM IV. So he confirmed that part of the article.

Bob is full of **** again...what happened to those investors that were supposedly going to front the cash to both Manny and Floyd? Arum and Manny are wanting to get Cotto at 147....

Mayweather demands May 5th, Arum Demands late May.

Neither are gonna budge, we'll wait until November, only for Arum to find some way to say "Wait until May 2013"

You tell'em Bobby, Mayweather is plan A!!!

"The truth of the matter is that we received this afternoon an email from retired federal judge Daniel Weinstein, who has informed us that Top Rank is pursuing a rematch with Marquez and, therefore, is not interested in immediate talks for a possible Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. This is obviously as clear as it can be that they have no intentions of making a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight. "

"Judge Weinstein is respected by both parties and mediated issues between Top Rank and Golden Boy before, so the plan was to see if he could help facilitate such a fight. Floyd's team really wanted to get this fight done," Schaefer said. "If you just sit down with Arum, he can at any time have one of his fits, one of his 'fuck you' attacks, and the likelihood that he would have a 'fuck you' attack in front of a retired judge seemed less likely than if Arum and me would be alone in a room."

The fight has gotta happen

How do you have a sitdown like this and not ask a follow up question like "Would you contact Al Haymon since Mayweather has gone on record and said to contact him?"

The way I see - both sides are using the media more than ever. No way two huge boxing establishments can't speak on the phone or in person and have to use the media unless this is more to build the fight. It is all a game to build the game.

Just hurry up and announce who Manny will fight next you old geezer.

Being old, and a geezer, are not crimes, so why rub it in. Don't you think that an old man hates being old, and looked down on for it, and wishes he were still young, like you perhaps.

But always remember that in due course, you will become that "old geezer".

Arum is the greatest promoter in the history of boxing, and has made more money for his fighters than any 3-4 other promoters together. You don't see his fighters living in the streets, or looking for handouts. If they fall on bad times, he helps them out quietly, and we only hear about it by chance, or long afterwards. That's the way true charity is given, quietly without ostentation, not showing the name of the family being supported.
