What else could Pacquiao's side have done to persuade Floyd to agree already?

    Arum is a liar. This is the same Arum that killed the first fight over 14 days not being offered, then admitting it was offered, then STILL killing the fight. To this day you idiots have not taken Arum and Pac to task for the first fight. Now you STILL want to believe Arum when he says, "We agreed to everything."?

    The man is a proven LIAR.

    You mean given no one knows whats in the contract?

    How about invite Mayweather to the negotiating table for 1 thing and not set deadlines on your terms?

    Jeff mayweather said pac still hasn't agreed to random testing with no cut off date. Pac wants the old 14 day offer he turned down in march. Floyd said before he fought mosley that pac will never get that offer again. It's testing right up to the fight if USADA wish. Pac and arum refused which is why there is nothing to say on behalf of mayweather's camp.

    Mayweather made this quite clear before and after mosley, now everyone acting like they are deaf.

    But Mayweather was part of the negotiations? :huh They negotiated through HBO with Al Haymond who reports directly to Floyd...
    As for the deadline, they needed some kind of time table. It's was pretty gimmicky to be honest, but it's not like they can idly wait for Floyd to say something when they want to fight this Nov.

    This BS showed that it wasn't even a real deadline. It was just another attempt of Bob Arum to get media pressure on Mayweather to sign whatever lopsided crap Arum wanted.

    Then the sucka acts as though "now" he will start looking at other fights when guys like Margarito have been passing up meaningful fights since May!

    Arum = Evil

    FMJ said something last time you roach. Guess what? Arum lied, said he didn't say it, scheduled another Rot Stank fight with Clottey, then admitted he did say it, but STILL had the Rot Stank fight.

    Arum has an agenda already and it always ends with FMJ shouldering the blame and two fighters giving up +20% of their purses for Arum to get 40% of the fight proceeds.

    What?... how exactly are you refuting what I said?... and how exactly does that prove Arum is lying about what he said tonight?
    Don't quote me unless you intend to respond to what I said instead of making up **** in your head.

    You have been on here constantly with your shiny new account blaming Mayweather for this and NOW you ask if Mayweather was part of negotiations? Shows you pretty much had your mind made up by... Making crap up in YOUR head.

    What I said about the last negotiations specifically applies here. Bob Arum knows what he plans to do. He just needs to manipulate people like you to shift blame away from his fighter and on to Mayweather.

    He did it last time with the 14 day cut off that wasn't offered, but was. He did it this time with the cut off date that wasn't really a cut off date. You ate it up both times.

    Shiny new account? Go look the the Join date fool. Just because I don't post often doesn't mean dick ****. I have a life and a job....
    Go find a post where I blamed Mayweather for anything... please go ahead.
    You quote my reply yet go off an some unrelated tangent.
    Learn to read or don't talk because you make yourself out to be a child.

    Didn't Mayweather say at the beggining 'how can they be negotiating with me when I'm on vacation?' - I think you'll find he did. Why wasn't Floyd's manager Ellerbe invited?

    We probably won't know the truth until the other side speaks, but my assumption is that the negotiations went:

    Arum -> HBO -> Haymon -> Mayweather + whoever...
