    Thanks for posting. About to read it now. This one should be more generous to Pacquiao

    I'm still reading it, but damn. Who was Bob Arum negotiating with on Floyd's behalf because Ellerbe and Floyd stated 3 time, once before negotiations and twice during it that he wasn't fighting again in 2010

    another thing I thought was interesting
    [url]http://www.mb.com.ph/node/264553/pacquiao[/url]

    “The only guys involved in the talks are Manny, (promoter) Bob Arum, and myself,” said Mike Koncz

    So I guess when Koncz says that Manny only agreed to a 7 day cutoff, then that's more credible than we though

    I hope Pac loves chocolate as much as Hatton does

    Will there be a part 3, because theres some missing context in this timeline, such as ESPN straight up calling Floyd out for not negotiating, followed by an unnerving silence by team floyd, and the infamous urge video

    I've pointed that **** out MULTIPLE times yet these Pac fans still claim he doesn't negotiate for Manny. I pointed out a DIFFERENT interview so that's two stating he's part of negotiations... And he said they only agreed to 7 days.. But let them tell it he's not involved. :roll:

    was delahoya caught lying when he said the negotiation was close and then retracting it after floyd announces his vacation?

    also greenburg versus schaefer and ellerbe, who do you think is more credible and telling the truth?

    You know I can completely understand Arum setting a date where if the fight doesn't happen by then, he has to move on to other things to maintain the date he had scheduled.

    BUT A COUNTDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I mean really. That had to be one of the dumbest publicity stunts to ever happen in boxing. And then to have a midnight conference call right after. It's like the guy was desperate to not allow any blame what so ever to fall on him.

    Is it so hard to tell the press, "we couldn't come to an agreement, so we're moving on." I knew it was full of **** by the way he tap danced around the drug testing question.

    Around the June 2nd mark they talk about Floyd stating he's probably taking the rest of the year off and not thinking about boxing. That what you looking for?

    Yes! They had a damn countdown for Floyd to agree, yet nowhere in there it states they've agreed to full testing without cutoff... So how/why the hell do you have a countdown if we're waiting on YOU to agree to something?!

    But I'm unreasonable when I say they should contact Floyd's people if they decided to agree to testing without cutoff. :patsch

    Schaefer said not too long after Oscar's statement that he didn't know what he was talking about
