Comments Thread For: Arum Will Go All Out To Make Mayweather-Pacquiao

[Fetta]

Arum is too old to be able to keep fooling young strong minded boxing fans....nothing he says concerning that fight has ever been relevant...his lying ass never wanted to make the fight...Floyd is losing interest in the sport so I guess now it's a 50-50 fight....but it's always been a 90-10 fight in favor of Floyd imo

Haha!

This is NSB!

Anyway football started so....

[IMDAZED]

You are all ******s thinking Arum is the stumbling block....



This man has been in the game for 3 decades or more idk Arum organized superfights like Marvin Hagler vs. Roberto Durán and Hagler vs. Thomas Hearns....

But somehow he's this massive stumbling block...

How the **** can you ask a guy to leave his promoter for the biggest fight of his career?!? This is sheer lunacy!!!

But then again we are dealing with ballwashing Flo****s who would chomp down a fresh turd if Floyd requested them to...

You're right. It is lunacy. And that's because you are looking at it from the most warped view imaginable.

He's not saying "Bob Arum needs to leave" as a condition to making this fight. He's saying that this fight can only happen without Bob Arum because Bob Arum has no interest in making it. Jesus, and you guys say Mayweather can't read. What good is reading if you don't comprehend anything? How about you leave your troll act alone for once and actually talk sense? Bob Arum has been the single biggest roadblock to this fight happening. It's a sad day for fans when you get excited because, after five years, he promises to pick up the phone if someone calls. If that's the best he can do then what else do you need to know about his will to make the fight?

Isn't it amazing how this history has been forgotten or ignored? This didn't even talk about the outdoor stadium. I can't understand how Mayweather is expected to bow to Arum. Remember when Arum publicly called for a boycott of Mayweather vs. Maidana I? Then he had the nerve to set up Pac vs. Algeri after those comments. He (Arum) has to go!

All valid points but don't forget that both sides have had their share of things that would prevent the fight from happening. I personally think Floyd's side have brought up more hurdles but who cares at this point. Let's make the fight. It is a new day.

40 mil w/ 35% upside is a great offer after last night.

That was a great offer period .....especially when you consider Pac was knocked COLD by a common opponent.


Manny's Market share was laying on the canvas right next to him.

People have to understand that..especially Manny's people.

You might be right, but he has also been the one initiating the negotiations. The same can't be said for Pac's and his team. Arum says he wants the fight now and he is going to "wait for the phone to ring"? Does that make sense? Is that what you do when you want to make a fight, or do you start making calls to get it done?

And he's STILL lying. This was just written last week:

A high-ranking HBO official told me this week that the supposed talks were more Arum fantasy than reality.

Still, Arum insisted that they are making headway.

"These are not the caliber of people telling me stuff to massage me on something that isn't true," Arum said. "If I am told the other side is interested and involved and it comes from a source I can rely on, I can rely in it. I'm emboldened this time the fight will happen because I have been informed Floyd will also take the fight. But I don't want to say anything that f---- it up."

Informed by who?

There's also an old saying: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." In the case of this fight, maybe it should be: "Fool me 25 times, shame on you. Fool me 50 times, shame on me," because it was just about a week ago when Arum totally contradicted himself by saying, "Floyd is reluctant to fight Manny Pacquiao, period. If people don't see that by now, they are never going to see it."

Year's ago Arum uttered his most famous quote to a reporter, and, for better or worse, it has stuck to him like glue: "Yesterday I was lying, but today I'm telling the truth."

Arum has been a bit of a roadblock I confess.

But Floyd clearly doesn't want the fight.

Is that the best you can do? Come on, open your eyes a little more, it's OK. The truth won't hurt you, fella.

Regardless of whatever troll excuse you made for every Mayweather offer, he made them. From 50-50 on down. Arum has been the biggest stumbling block because he doesn't want the fight to happen. Well, not unless he runs the show. And that's not going to happen. If you really wanted the fight to happen, we'd start mass rioting on boards to call out both parties on their bull****. Yet somehow, in troll land, making offers is ducking and denying them is wanting the fight. Reality will roll on, my friend. You might wanna join the party.

[AllBoxingAD]

So Arum will go all out to make the fight happen... by waiting for a call?

Really?

And Pac fans are ok with this kind of "effort"?

See thats how I know it wont get done. Arum is telling us he wont lift a finger. But it goes in ya'll brain and you reconstruct it as Arum doing everything he can to get it done.

If he doesn't want the fight, why was if offered 3x already. Why would u not hold the person who had declined the fight 3x responsible, rather than the one that has offered it? There can be no other answer other than fanboyism.
