Comments Thread For: Arum: Mayweather-Pacquiao Miami Meeting Helped A lot

[St. Johns Gent]

I'm still one of the "I'll believe it when I see it" fans. Remember, we've been living this soap opera since 2009

If this weekend passes and it's not announced, forget about it.

if this weekend passes and it's not announced i'm gonna have blue balls for a few days next week

Arum is hardly to blame about whether there was an All Access or 24/7, these massive issues Floyd apparently is reported to have had.

Ok, so lets look at this. Arum said the networks were in agreement for 2 weeks, Pac already agreed to all terms and they're waiting for Mayweather to sign a contract.

After the Miami meeting, Arum admits there is not contract and in fact he said the papers were and are still being drawn up, and he also said the networks were "now" in agreement.

It seems that all of Mayweathers terms were never met, and HBO for what ever reason was reluctant to acquiesce to 2 simple "rumored" terms, no Lampley and no All Access or 24/7. We already knew about the delay rights issue.

So since the Miami meeting which was initiated by Mayweather, Arum has stopped lying, the networks are now in agreement and papers are being drawn up, yet you still find a way to say Mayweather is the problem.

SMDH.

AHA !!!!!!! Floyd MANGS : Please STOP with Pac NOT being his OWN BOSS!

The dang BALL is still in JR's COURT !

Somehow I do believe the fight will be made.

I am tickled to KNOW that face to face, Pac didn't didn't allow JR to feel as though he has the upper hand.

The EDGE GOES TO DA PACMAN !!!!!!!!!

I think the whole basketball thing was staged by both sides. I think there is some sort of an agreement by both sides and all the rest of this is for show. I didn't think so before, but it is starting to look that maybe they are going to announce it at the Super Bowl.

that's what i think as well.

they would be missing a golden opportunity to not announce it either tomorrow or a couple of hours before the superbowl start.

if i was moonves,

id pull some strings to announce the fight during halftime before or after katy perry performs right before the game starts. have both guys come in for a public face off.

Certain fans just continue to blame Bob for all this. He's a piece of **** but in this case, it's been floyd acting like a bozo all along.

So why is arum taking credit for a meeting he wasnt present for?

Manny shouldefinitely split from arum. He cut down 5 years of negotiation in 2 hours max.

Contract

Arum is just covering his "ass", cause previously he was BADMOUTHING Floyd saying Pacquiao had ALREADY signed the CONTRACT and Floyd was SCARED to sign!

[trainhard_187]

Seeing Manny in real life probably gave Floyd a boost of confidence.
After watching this humble little dude, smiling frequently, and then talking in his high pitched broken English voice, Floyd was probably thinking to himself,
"Man, what was I so worried about - this dude is small and wimpy. I'm going to knock this little rice eating MOFO out!"

Hope Floyd does come in over confident. Like they say Pac is on smiles and fun til he turns that switch on.

Has to happen!!!

This fight has to happen at this point fans are too much in demand PPV's are Declining they cant possibly excite us to buy PPV's for any other fight!!

we are not interested in any other fight there is no one else out there for any of these fighters that are gonna do over a million PPV's

they staged themselves to be seen in public!! if it was not staged then I belive pacquaio made it happen cuz many pac had his advisor with him!!


they will announce the fight during at or after the super bowl!!!



get ready fight fans its finally gonna happen!!!

[AgainstTheRopes]

i dont care at this point who is to blame for the lack of communication between the two camps where they couldn't resolve issues like this network deal. Its just mind blowing to me that when just about everyone had given up on the fight and it was just days away from the "deadline" that these guys met by complete luck at a Miami heat game and now it appears as though the fight is done.
