    Funny thing is everybody knows Arum is a liar yet most people quote him and treats it like its the Gospel truth as long as it fits their agenda.

    Seriously ESB?

    I see no reason to listen to Bob Arum in the first place. Yet alone quote him to make others look bad or push your agenda.

    Arum needs to STFU. Both he and Floyd are looking to sabotage the fight

    Floyd - needs to accept 50-50

    Arum - needs to stfu

    Pacquiao - needs to tell Arum to stfu

    Void's demands are simply excuses for not fighting Pac. Pretty soon Void will demand that he get paid to beat up women!

    So the date is STILL an issue.

    I thought date and venue (May 5 at MGM) was agreed.

    I bet if Floyd agreed to 50%, and Pac and Arum agreed to May 5 and MGM, the testing would then become another issue.

    Fight's not going to happen.

    No, this is Arum trash talking Floyd and BGP trying to tell the world they aren't worthy of promoting this because they don't know how to do it properly and maximize profits off of it. He has grander plans and would make this fight bring boxing back to its glory days. He is free to do so because Floyd will not go to 50/50 so he won't be called on it.

    As I said last week, May 5th was never agreed to, I'm glad Arum cleared that up...
