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

[bigjavi973]

I'll give just one example. In early 2012, Manny was going to be ready to fight in May. Then Floyd was granted an extension so he could fight in May as well. Bob took Manny to see his step son in law to get the cut (we assume) from the Nov 2011 JMM fight examined. Son in law says Manny can't get back to training until April so he can't fight until June at earliest.

using your son in law in general is a conflict of interest. why wasn't manny taken to the son in law before Bob declared Manny could fight in May 2012? why so long the wait to go see the dr-jmm fight 11/12/11-visit to step son in law -January 2012.

Jeff Roth-step son dr-is a plastic surgeon. what did manny's regular dr say? why didn't any physician that reviewed manny in the 2 months after the fight deem him to need plastic surgery?

So this "speculation" you have is what ya tards call proof???

IF they start negotiating in Nov then ok cause itll be after PAc fight and Arum will know who to call hopefully. I have no issue with that....if it happens

But Mayweather and fantards like you don't want Arum involved. Why? He is Manny Pacquiao's promoter. How can he not be involved?

[bigjavi973]

Dont forget the lawsuit after failed negotiations that team Pac didnt want to take tests. Dont forget Arum saying "**** floyd we dont need him". So yes Arum was always a problem

oh you mean the lawsuit the mayweathers settled and then later apologized publicly saying that they didnt have any intention of saying he was using peds or accusing him of such? Oh yea that lawsuit.

I asked a question and you responded with a series of questions. That's not answering.

Whether Arum is just talking **** to the media or not is irrelevant. Let's say they start negotiating this fight in November, in what way is Bob Arum an obstacle? He is Manny Pacquaio's promoter so he has to be involved in the fight.

Because he has openly avoided doing anything to make this fight but then goes on after the fact to rip on Floyd every chance he gets.

He was running his mouth about how bad they wanted to fight Floyd but couldn't because he was going to jail. Floyd go a stay on his sentence and not even 24 full hours later Arum refused to even mention Floyd as a possible opponent.


Before Manny fought marquez for the third time he was again going on and on about how Floyd was who they wanted and they wanted to negotiate, only to turn around and say he was flying to the phillipines to talk have Manny choose from a list of opponents and Floyds name was nowhere to be found.

It's obvious you are avoiding all of the articles and links that have been posted showing Arums smoke and mirrors. The fact you had to ask says that much.

So this "speculation" you have is what ya tards call proof???

Over 6 months for a small cut to heal, Pac cant fight in May unless its JMM, fight must be in June if its Floyd who would be in jail, and not sure if Floyd will be license to fight were just a few of the excuses at this same time from Arum himself.

And yes the Dr who said this will take tha long was Arum son-in-law

It's 2014. I'm asking what Arum is doing to prevent the fight now.

And 2012? You mean when Floyd offered that ridiculous 40m flat fee? He phoned Michael Konzcz and dealt directly with Pacquiao so it didn't really matter what the hell Arum was saying to the media. It was moot because Floyd had no intentions of making the fight himself with that offer.

You didn't ask about right now (unless I missed it). As for right now, he is doing stuff like acting like there is a huge deal completed and the only thing waiting is Floyd to sign off. this is about a week after him saying he couldn't see a Floyd and many fight happening, which was after he went on for 2 weeks about the fight.

The $40 mil offer was well after Jan 2012. I didn't mention that offer. If you were only asking about now, as you said, why are you bringing that up when I didn't mention it?

[bigjavi973]

stop spreading false information, Mayweather countered with that cutoff because manny refused for olympic testing up until and after the fight. It was a counter offer. His "idea" was for testing throughout and just after the promotion. If you will read no PPV revenue is BS, read. Thats actually not true, and Ariza admitted it yesterday, and the fact that your name calling zaps your credibility. Grow up.

look up my post in page 20 where I provided in post 197... You believe ariza??? hahahahahahha wasn't ya floyd fans ****ting on him? oh wait hes with TMT now so he must be good right? ***in pathetic laughable dumbasses.

[bigjavi973]

No the ball is still in Pac court. Floyd doesnt call you, you call him. Dont agree but thats the way it is in business life not just the boxing circle. Little dog calls big dog for business

But doubt that happens cause Arum doesnt know who to call.

Im just a fan behind a computer screen but even i know who to call

So I guess money is more important to you than legacy. Dearly noted.

But Mayweather and fantards like you don't want Arum involved. Why? He is Manny Pacquiao's promoter. How can he not be involved?

He doesn't have to be involved at all and this has happened before. He accepts a fee to step aside and let someone handle all the promotion, it doesn't happen all the time but it has been done several times before. As a matter of fact Arum himself just tried to do the same thing with Chavez jr. and his manager who Arum didn't want to deal with so he tried to pay him to step aside so he can deal directly with Chavez and his father.

That whole second paragraph is pure speculation on your part, and you making excuses for one side because for some reason you think an offer that is more than all but maybe 3 people ever made in a fight splitting whatever revenue is a terrible starting point.

What has Arum actually done, other than talk to the media which is a terrible way of getting something actually done in business. Arum can sabotage the fight through inaction so he doesn't need to do anything, expand your horizons.
