Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather - The Only Impediment in a Deal

[SlySlickSmooth]

It doesn't matter what the hardcores "know" as long as Arum and Pacquiao keep spouting this off it only makes Mayweather look bad.


Casuals have zero idea about most of the problems that go behind matchmaking, hell I watched the Broner/Taylor fight with my friend's dad who is a casual, "I watched Tyson yknow!", type of guy.

Even he thinks Mayweather is ducking Pacquiao and he doesn't even follow the sport.

I agree. It does not matter what the hardcores know. It is the casuals who are responsible for the majority of the money that makes boxers rich and the casual should be taken the most seriously and treated with the most respect as they are the boxing customers responsible for keeping boxing alive and preventing it from becoming a specialized niche sport like surfing

What else is a casual to think its all that is projected into the media , most fans are sheep , I mean you got to be right into the entire time-line of events to know the truth , for instance Arums BS countdown timer was nothing more than a publicity stunt , Floyd wasnt even around at the time he was on vacation sailing a boat with his family , Arum knew it and Arum had already promised Margarito the fight a Mth earlier , the only way to know that is to listen to a sole interview with Margarito where he says it .

Following the time line and dates of who said what is very revealing .

I like Manny coming out from under Arums skirt and calling out Floyd directly , this is what was needed all along , I hope Manny himself makes as much noise as possible , and for Arum he should shut his lying mouth and let Manny push for the fight , fighter addressing fighter is great , Arum should take a hike because its him that Floyd hates and its Arum that Floyd does not want to make a dime of his back .

When exactly did Bob Arum become an impediment to making the fight for Floyd?

I was under the impression the only reason he wouldn't fight Pacquiao was because of the test...

When did that change?

Did Arum also tell Floyd to tell the kid with cancer to say he was going on vacation when his wish was for Floyd to fight Manny?

Yeah, it's hilarious. I mean casuals like most pro/ex-pro fighters all think this. What utter noobs.

Nuthuggers can't see the forest for the trees. Mayweather has a Bob Arum problem now. Before that it was a money problem. Before that it was an unprecedented drug testing problem which was tacked on to defamatory accusations that TMT have paid out for in court.

There's always something stopping Mayweather wanting the fight. These are not words coming from Arum or Manny. These are the words coming out of Floyd's mouth. Sure, now we hear TMT invited that slimeball Koncz over for a chat and now Ariza accuses him of being a slimeball. Like Ariza has ever done anything but sh** stir any time he's been involved in anything - this is a guy that sucker kicked a guy with Parkinsons - and now he comments, apparently his word is gospel and the nuthuggers are out in force to spout how much Mayweather has tried to make the fight.

Yeah, the guy that has tried to make the fight is the guy that always has a problem with it... *rolls eyes* you suckers.

Ask my promoter .

I wish we could just hear from someone neutral, maybe someone with a top position within Showtime/HBO saying who is really holding it up.

At the moment either camp is pointing the finger at each other, what would be great is if HBO/showtime gave Mayweather/Pacquiao an ultimatum saying make the fight or don't fight at all - never going to happen but would be awesome.

Is building a new stadium no longer an impediment?

[Nightfall]

There are issues. Arum is the main one with his lies ans sabotage agenda. Your old ass is absolutely not going to be involved in the negotiations. And there is a money issue. Mayweather has said that over his dead body will pacquiao get $40 million. Its off the table. He should have taken it then.
