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

[odogg8121]

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.

its called drugs, that's what i figure, because after this week if you're still blaming Floyd you're just dumb...

As far as pacquiao and arum were concerned, all the terms had already been agreed to. After realizing he couldn't back out, mayweather needed to find a way to do some damage control which is why he showed up at the game with the phillipines sweater on and said oh by the way there's still some issues left. Arum has been the one who tried putting this deal together, hence why he's the one who went straight to les moonves. You guys should be thanking arum for Making this fight happen. Without arum this wouldn't even be happening right now. Now lets see what excuse mayweather can come up with to duck out this time

Floyd's new demands: NO Lampley and NO 24/7

Everytime a roadblock is removed, Floyd finds a way to place another roadblock back on the road...

Now Floyd is placing demands on HBO... can't wait for the next FIomo spin...

HBO is keeping the fight from happening d'ohhhhhhh

It's called negotiation, not dictation, meaning there are two sides in any deal, even more than two in this particular one and they all want their terms met.

Blaming Arum for a dispute over All Access and the HBO commentary team is myopic especially since Arum is the one who is reported to have sorted it after Koncz contacted him the next morning.

Moreover, it's Arum who has put the wheels in motion for the entire negotiation in first place by going above Espinoza to the head of CBS Les Moonves.

I'm no fan of Arum's but based on what has been reported trying to blame him for the latest delay is wide of the mark.

You dont get it do you? It is rumored that this has been a part of Mayweathers terms all along, which would mean that all parties involved including Arum knew that this is what he wanted, why did it take a face to face meeting and a morning call to Arum to get it done. Why has Arum been lying about negotiation? Lying is not negotiating.

My take is Pac was being lied too, after meeting with Mayweather Pac put Arum under pressure to give Mayweather 2 very simple requests. No Jim Lampley and no 24/7 or All Access, those are 2 very simple request.

It is no coincidence that Arum is no longer saying we have agreed to everything we are just waiting for Floyd to sign a contract.

Arum is now saying the fight looks close we are drawing up papers.

Very different.

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!"

This^^^

Exactly!!


But seems like Floyd is now having second thought

Who gives a crap if they nnou ce it at the superbowl or not. Did you guys even read the article? Mayweather still hasn't even agreed yet. We all have to wait on him to grow a pair of balls first and then we can start caring about the other stuff #sign the contract #fightpacquiao
