This dude Koncz is a riot. Follow-up to the conversation last night:
T: Michael, it's Ben.
MK: Hey Ben, how you doing?
BT: I'm doing good. How about yourself?
MK: I saw your story (laughing). Your source is not very good.
BT: Really? So you're dis*****g the fact that Floyd Mayweather said something to the effect of "stop lying" and "lies are being told"?
MK: No, I'm not dis*****g that. I'm dis*****g the comment that I was stuttering and said I'm only repeating what Arum told us to repeat. I never said that.
BT: Well the stuttering part was just my sources interpretation of how you reacted to a comment. But you're saying that you never told Floyd, "Bob Arum told us these things"?
MK: No. But anyway, Manny told me don't worry about it. I'm not responding to that story.
And then later:
BT: Can you clear up some of the confusion regarding statements that were made suggesting that some type of contract was signed?
MK: For right now, Ben, with all due respect, I would like to reserve that for a day or two. Give me a day or two to talk to Manny. I told Floyd I would address that issue, but I prefer to wait for a day or two. I think for right now, the fact that we truly believe Floyd is sincere in wanting to make this fight happen. It's evident by his actions last night and I have no reason to doubt that. That's my opinion at this point in time, that he is sincere and that he wants the fight to happen. There were some concerns about the broadcasting. I promised Floyd that I would get on the phone this morning and work those out and put our foot down on certain issues. I've been told that those are resolved. I'm going to confirm that here in a few more minutes. We will address that other issue, but I think that's good for another interview a couple days down the road.
