    Heard it from the mans mouth. Even though Arum says hes not going to discuss boxing, he is in fact going to the Phillipines to get Mannys agreement to terms. As I said, its going to take Pac and Roach to force the fight, looks like they want it, hopefully Arum doesnt screw it up again.

    The blood test will go to 14 days thats ok for both sides and both fighters will be tested right after the fight. I dont think Roach and Arum are on the same page though and thats the only caveat. Arum will have other intentions when he gets there, believe that.

    Big tampon gotta be removed...roach gotta stop speaking for his willing fighter

    Simple tests that seem simple are simple in making the fight happen...arum needs to shut his hole too

    It ain't manny scared...it's his ***** handlers..and what they will make etc etc...they gonna face floyd..
    Not a freeze dried opponent..they need to relax...and jump on this opponent they feel has lost his legs

    Nobody runnin...no retreat..no surrender..


    Boxing fans rejoice

    You think Floyd will still go for 14 days and 50/50?

    No I think he will make things difficult just to be a dick especially if the numbers come in very strong.

    50/50 is hard to gauge under these circumstances.

    There will be 3 promotional companies involved in the fight; Top Rank, GBP and Mayweather Promotions.

    I can see Top Rank and Mayweather promotions getting 50/50 with GBP getting a cut for facilitating everything.

    Therefore, Mayweather would probably be guaranteed upwards of 35 million for the fight and Manny around 25. Both would get a PPV chunk over 1.5MM or something along those lines

    No... probably not the 50 50 over the 14 days... he got their camp thinkin twice about any of that mess

    Mayweather is going to embarass manny.... I will still respect the cat at the end of the day..

    I'll put my blood on it...whenever..wherever ...no big deal for me

    Arum just has to be patient and swallow a little pride for the good of the sport. The guys got one foot in the grave, so he should show a little pride and be a part of one of the biggest fights in boxing history instead of worrying about money and power. People like him get harder to negotiate with as they get older. Look at Don King, the guy has basically blackballed himself out of boxing. If Arum didnt have Pac, him and Don King would be playing checkers together at the retirement home.
