    He knows that if he does Osama bin Ladin will take the oppoturnity when every one is distracted to send suicide bombers to the WBC headquarters.

    Fear. His logic about not getting enough money falls apart when you take into consideration that Pacquiao was the biggest payday he could have got. Floyd just continued raising the bar each time, he never wanted the fight to happen.

    OOOooo...I really think Floyd should take one for the team in this case.

    My post is what I believe to be Floyd's rationale for not acknowledging tonight's deadline, which I completely understand.

    I personally would love to see him cave in and sign though.

    Yep. Floyd is in the driver's seat, not Arum. That said, no blood testing, no fight.

    Let's just lure both Pacquiao and FLoyd in downtown vegas and have them go at it. **** all these "oh because Floyd is the one with the leverage because he's his own boss... **** arum he's not the man floyd is" bull****.

    I'm tired of hearing that. If that's the case then what's the point of waiting for this fight. Both fighters are on top and neither one of them tops the other. To say that one fighter is the boss in the negotiation has no common sense.

    He has never ever wanted this fight, and never ever had any intention of signing it. Everything that has happened has been the careful plan of Floyds Jr + Sr and Uncle Roger to make it look like Floyd wants the fight, and to make it look like there are genuine obstacles preventing it, but in reality they saw what Pacquiao did to Hatton and Cotto, and they fear his power and relentlessness. They know the risk is too great. They would prefer to duck the fight, try to use the media to pin the blame on Arum and/or Roach and/or Pacquiao, and keep protecting the zero fighting crusty old names.

    If Floyd doesn't sign, it's because he refused to allow himself to be strong armed by Bob Arum. "Sign the contract or else"...what makes anyone think FMJ will respond to that? He won't! Not saying it's right or wrong, but, I'm pretty sure thats how Floyd feels.

    How long should arum wait for floyd?

    The date and venue have to be set and the marketing campaign has to go in full swing.

    It's probably because Arum has mob influences and he threatened Floyd not to talk so that he can further protect his puppet Pacquiao and keep raking in the cash from his own fighters.
