Comments Thread For: Arum: No Hard Deadline on Mayweather-Pacquiao Talks

[peplz]

"the brand of gloves" where one of the list of things that were stated in the article.

Okay buddy. Whatever you say. You're not about to pull me into this nonsense.

[johnm is...]

I don't understand the huge deal being made by the Networks about who shows the delayed broadcast. They're both going to make so much money it isn't going to matter. The folks at HBO apparently don't think that Manny is going to win. Big deal. Showtime should just bend on this one and allow it to be shown jointly. Or HBO should quit being fucking babies and let Showtime show it. I don't care either way, I just think it's a ridiculous thing to argue about.

Good list! Now, please tell us who made these infamous comments about the Mayweather fight:


1. Pacquaio is afraid of needles.
2. Pacquaio is concerned about being weakened by the blood tests.
3. Pacquaio's eye won't heal in time for a May 2012 fight. But his eye will heal in time if he can fight Marquez on that date.
4. I'm not interested in negotiating a Mayweather fight because I am working on a fourth fight between Pacquaio and Marquez.
5. I won't negotiate in the media.
6. I need to build a temporary stadium. It won't be ready until June 2012.
7. I don't know who to talk to in Mayweather's camp to negotiate a fight.
8. I am talking to investors about the fight.
9. We have agreed to all of Maywether's terms. We are still negotiating.
10. Only Mexicans should fight on May 2. Fighting on that day is disrespectful to Mexicans.
11. Floyd is holding up negotiations.

No doubt! That's why I always say both are to blame!

This fight will probably be Mayweather's easiest fight of his career. Pacquiao will not be able land a punch. It will look just like when Marquez fought mayweather. Pacquiao will look so slow against a quick fighter like Mayweather. Imo I think kahn would embarrass Pacquaio also but not quite as easy as Mayweather would.

Networks already agreed

Writers are wrongly reporting there's an issue...with no source and no quotes.

When he said that he feels that having blood drawn weakens him. We know that was a lie because now he gets blood drawn. When he said that he agreed to the testing after he had walked away from negotiations and wasn't even in negotiations anymore. When he said that he did not know why the fight did not happen when it was him who walked away from negotiations. When he told Mayweather to "sign the contract" when he knew there was no contract to sign. When he said that he thinks Mayweather is afraid to fight him when it was him who turned down the fight. Those are all bold faced lies and he knew they were lies when he told them

These r all really untrue
How is saying he thought taking ood weakening him is s lie. That's true, even Roach said,pac attributed his Morales loss to it.
How is him saying he thinks mayweather is afraid, a lie. Thats what he thinks.
And he didn't turn the fight down- they couldn't agree on steroid testing - testing request that had NEVER been made bf in history of boxing.
how is it a lie to say sign the contract. Its more than likely arum lied to him about the contract.
lol. Bad examples

Another blanket statement without a single fact to back it up. I love Pacquiao fans with how reliable you guys are on helping me prove my point about you. The pure predictability is beautiful to behold.

I can see that you are here just to stir the ****. but here are a few for you.



















Every link contains some form of lie. So quit being an azzhole and pretending that the guy Is not a liar.

This will be far from mayweather easiest fight lol I need some of what your smoking I think mayweather will win but it won't be no whitewash like Marquez fight was far from it 7-5 8-4 at best

Obviously floyd doesn't agree with you or this fight would've been made long ago. Regardless, floyd had trouble wit MAIDANA! U think pacs southpaw stance, speed and combo punching won't make it a tough fight.
U can have an opinion, but to say it would be the easiest fight of his career is quite laughable.
Regardless, seems it's not happening anyway
