This is what Bob Arum really said

You must be new to the sport. Manny is fighting in April and that is a fact. If you think Arum is going to attempt to make this Mayweather fight you are sadly mistaken.

The date is set and it will be in Vegas. Will be Bradley. Roach knows it, Arum and Manny know it as well.

 

Well here is the thing you fail to realize. Arum refused to even answer the phone last time. Even went through the media joking and laughing asking, "why is Shaefer calling me?" The list goes on.

Then you all are fooled into thinking he will try to make the fight but he already stated April 12th. Had meeting with Khabib's management and he will be on that undercard.

Roach even stated Manny will be back April 12th. Floyd is fighting in May which is the biggest night in boxing. If Floyd wasn't Manny would be.

 

hasnt it been proven many times that arum has pacquaios future opponents already lined up?

 

It's been proven many many times that Floyd the fighter himself is afraid for his health when being face to fight PAC.

 

If Floyd is scared then why didi he agree to fight in 09 when you all say Pac was at his best? Manny walked to fight Clottey.

Scared fighters don't agree to fight and Manny walked away. Or should I say Arum?

 

its not even about floyd, its arum that doesnt seem to want the fight at all.
garcia on an interview stated that pac vs rios was set for april 30 of last year, if pacquiao ddint get kod.

we knew margarito, mosley, marquez, bradley were all next...?

 

floyd was just ****in' around. he wasn't going to go through with it according to haymon's associate and p will manager george peterson.

 

I'm pretty sure the date is a non-issue, considering the amount of money involved. If Floyd went on public and said, "yea I would fight Pac next", do you really think Arum could get away with, we already booked April date at this point?

Team Pac has avoid Floyd in the past, just as Floyd has avoided Pac in the past, in this instance though, I'm not saying Floyd has avoided Pac just yet as there is plenty of time for him to respond and he may just be posturing, but the onus is on him to reply with something to indicate he would actually fight Pac. So far, his, and his camps replies have all been negative. Certainly if Floyd called Pac out now and they started ignoring the issue and even said "Floyd who?" it wouldn't even be an argument whos ducking who.

 

I don't know why you guys bother with this Pac excuses, Floyd roadblock/ducking crap. Everything we hear from either party means squat until Golden Boy and Toprank put their differences aside. Why aren't people saying Mattysse/Garcia (GB), Rios/Provodnikov (TR) are ducking each other, because they are all considered to be at the top of the 140 division and they are not fighting each other either, nor will they be fighting each other any time soon.

As of right now boxing fans should be more concerned with the gulf between the two TV and Promotional sides instead of bickering with each other, because we are missing out so much more than just Pac and Floyd now.

 

how many excuses do you have, just pick one. your month excuse got knocked down, now you're resorting to undercard fighters? making yourself look like a damn fool homie.

 

Oh we get, it's Arum fault that Floyd health come first.

 

This is the same Arum who said Manny couldn't fight in May bc Manny needed more time for a cut to heal and you all defended it. The same Arum who said Manny would take that date for Marquez bc Floyd was going to jail. Then when Floyd got it pushed back he said May was too soon and it will be June.

You all defended that as well. If Floyd said back in Sept that he would return in April, Arum would have Manny fighting MAY 3rd and you all would be defending that **** too.
