Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[IMDAZED]

I give him credit for that. A couple weeks ago he was talking all about how the fight wont happen despite everyone having an agreement (including the networks) because Mayweather doesn't want the fight. Turned out Mayweather wanted the fight and the networks are still aren't in agreement.

What were Arum's intentions when fed the media nothing but lies and now his kept his mouth shut for the most part after Mayweather called him out on it?

All I'm saying is blindly supporting Arum and buying his constant lies is silly. Just like blindly buying whatever Mayweather says.

Stephen Espinoza: A lot of the stuff that has come out from Arum is baffling to us. I can only guess as to what his motives may be. Maybe he thinks that this is creating some public pressure on Floyd to get the deal done, but the irony of the whole thing is no one needs to pressure Floyd. Floyd has wanted this all along. If people saw the terms that have been negotiated, it's clear Floyd wants to make a deal. He doesn't need this PR campaign to convince him that he needs to make the deal. He wants to do it for himself, for the fans, for the sport of boxing, and no one needs to pressure him into making that fight. Then you start to wonder if someone is consistently mischaracterizing the negotiations and trying to demean the other side, is that person really trying to make a deal? Someone who's trying to make a deal doesn't go out and publicly misrepresent what's going on with the negotiations. It's a complete mystery to us.

All of this misinformation and mischaracterization certainly doesn't help. I think up to this point, we're sort of gritting our teeth and trying to keep focused on our goal, and that continues to be our goal, but at a certain point, you can only take so much of the misstatements before you have to speak out and set the record straight.

"Arum is trash talking our hero and our hero might get offended and cancel the fight so who is really trying to make the fight"

Pathetic fl0mos

Smh

There's nothing to lie about

The fight is happening

We don't know what's going on behind the scenes

Arum probably viewed the delay as Floyd having second thoughts about the fight and felt going on a media rampage will pressure Floyd

Arum wants the fight

Per as per usual fl0mos love feeling victimised. Love playing the victim role

A pathetic fan base

Once again proving my point and showing complete support for Bob Arum. I gave credit to Arum for initiating the talks and bringing us upto this point. However theyve been running nothing but a media smear campaign the last couple weeks to make Mayweather look bad. Again if Mayweather doesn't meet Manny in Miami, Manny's camp would have walked away because of their bogus month-end deadline that was made on the premise of lies.

He's making pacquaio looking good by making Floyd look bad

As a promoter he's meant to try and make his fighter look good

Manny has been winning the PR battle hands down

You crying about a rival promoter talking trash. Go watch ballet

On the right track.

Now that a deal is closing in Arum's talking about moving it to June instead. He's full of it and some people are finally seeing it maybe you will soon too.

Such garbage. Everyone knows Floyd does not do anything in boxing unless he is the benefactor. For the fans and the sport? Lmao. Espinoza is even worse than arum.
