Is it safe to say now that team Pacquiao has been ducking Mayweather?

    I would not say Pac did it but Arum hell yeah, Arum loves to take money of Pacquiao so he doesnt want to lose his cash cow.
     

  3. Arum is a big big part of team Pacquiao. He's the puppet master.

    I dont like how floyds long vacation and admitting just saying what his fans want to hear gets overlooked so much, I get that he has courage now after jmm 3 and wants it, as for team pac its pretty obvious arum never wanted it, I hope it still happens next. If it doesnt happen in 2012 arum shoulders a huge part of the blame for me.

    If Arum been preventing it all this time, he is the main blame. I give Pac some of that blame to because he is the star. He should use his star power and take a stand against Arum.

    It's all very confusing. 10 people could come up with 10 different reasons the fight hasn't happened, and they'd all have valid points. Personally, I think it's (or was) a mixture of FMJ's uneasiness at losing his 0 and Arum having no desire to do business with Mayweather.

    It's been safe to say it from the beginning. Just funny how most ppl r now willing to blame Arum AND Mayweather but not pacquiao. This filipino is being regarded way too close to a god-like-status. It's his fault As MUCH, IF NOT MORE, than Arum!!! I mean, I never saw Arum putting a gun to his head when being interviewed and refusing blood tests!?!?!

    Team Pacquiao is the blame hands down. Floyd went into negotiations for the fight with one request and stuck with that one request up until now. Yes you *******s can talk about vacations if you want but Team Pacquiao never agreed to that one demand during that time. Facts! Floyd even went into mediation when Team Pacquiao didn't want to and Team Pacquiao even lied about the **** as well and the judge had to come out and and tell the truth about Arum's lies. Manny needs to stop being a freaking idiot and get the **** done. Stop the my promoter ****.

    so for you the blame is only on arum and some are for pacquiao. how about floyd's demands of testing, taking long vacations and losing his urge and fighting GBP in-house fights only for the last 5 years?

    Can you show me where Team Pacquiao agreed to that one demand while Floyd was on vacation? The testing demand was not an attempt at dodging the fight you idiot. Floyd even compromised on it. Also, Team Pacquiao originally agreed to that "testing demand" and later backed off of it and wanted the cut offs. :hi:

    idiot, i'm saying that the extra test demand is one of the main reason why floyd is reluctant to take this fight. delahoya, hatton, cotto, margarito, mosley and marquez had no problem fighting pacquiao with the standard NSAC test.

    also when the negotiations are going well, floyd took a vacation and lost his urge. does arum nor pacquiao control floyd's vacations?

    lastly, does arum nor pacquiao control which opponents floyd chooses? for the past 5 years, floyd has been fighting GBP in-house fights exclusively. can you explain why?

    Arum, yes. Team Pac as a whole, not necessarily. The Schaeffar comment regarding that members of Team Pac have been going behind Arum's back to get the fight done, suggests otherwise.

    I still don't think either fighter/team (and ego of same) has helped the situation.
