Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: No Urgency on Mayweather Side, It's Terrible!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Weeks of negotiations are frustrating Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum, the promoter of WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao. Arum is trying to close a deal for a fight between his man and WBC/WBA champion Floyd Mayweather Jr.

As far as the agreed upon terms, Arum admits there are unresolved issues between the fighters and the networks. Mayweather has an exclusive contract with CBS/Showtime and Pacquiao fights under Time Warner/HBO. The networks are also negotiating on their end with problems related to the broadcast terms and which of them will obtain the lucrative rights to the delayed broadcast.

Its easy Bob just make sure the draft is right in the first place instead of telling the world you agreed to everything which is not the case other wise the first draft you send back would be right .

[texasboi15]

After the Mayweather/Pacquiao saga plays out do Floyd and Bob tell each other good riddens or does the fight pave the way for Mayweather and Top Rank to do business in the future?

Why did you cut off the last part of Arum's quote? That was a pretty important point:

“If you want to drag this out a little longer then move the fight to later in May ?May 30 is a good date ?or go in June. We agreed to go on May 2 because that is the date Mayweather is hung up on, but if we’re going to go on May 2 we need to get this done."

If you're going to steal someone else's work, at least do it right.

STFU Bob! We all know you and your team are ducking and dodging this fight while trying to slander Floyd. You're a greedy POS that's done more harm than good for the sport.
