    Or the "2nd negotiation"? Why was the venue and adding investors not issues of this magnitude the first time? Was he not serious in making the fight this past few yrs so he never really needed to bring this stuff up(but is serious now since he is being pressured by everyone since its now viewed as him being the one holding up the fight)? Was he serious before(first negotiations) which is why it wasn't a problem, but now is playing games?

    If it was Mayweather holding up the fight this whole time why has it been Arum the one looking to change **** from the original contract(From Wada to Venue, to having sole promotional rights) that was only killed by drug testing which supposedly isn't an issue anymore. If drug testing was the only thing killing the fight then as soon as that was agreed to then everything else should have fell into place from the work don't the first negotiation other then rescheduling the date.

    My main question through all of this is why is this stuff so important now but Arum didn't feel it was as important the first time?

    Arum, Floyd and other promoters are a walking contradictory. i guess you need to do that to be effective.

    That don't make any sense at this point. They are both available and are having a hard time making the fight at this moment. How does paying JMM step aside money make the fight if Arum wants all this new stuff?

    Very good point that will not get answered with logic...To this day, I'm having a hard time understanding why people cant see through Bob's lies...The man here has ****ed up some good potential match-ups with his greed...The quicker this senile **** gets out of boxing the better.

    People can say that Floyd has finally found his urge, but that still doesnt erase how Bob has lied and trying to shift the blame when in essence its him thats been holding up the fight since day one!:patsch

    I cant stand Arum!:-(

    There really is no need for a 2nd negotiation or 3rd negotiation. They worked everything out other then drug testing. There was nothing left to negotiate only agree to full random testing or after the Clottey and Mosley fights. .

    They made it seem like they agreed to testing and Mayweather ran away scared to vacation and they were just waiting on him. Then all of a sudden Arum wants to change around the original contract.

    What are you talking about? Here is the truth. Arum and Floyd Sr didn't want the fight during the first round of negotiations, proven by how Arum was the first one bitching about the venue in the first time around. Check it out
