I don't know why some would act suprised, all indications pointed to this to begin with. There are no indications that point to negotiations taking place, there are no details that can be substantiated, the behavior of those involved on both sides is so out of the "norm" that it's pretty obvious this was the case.
The thing here is that Arum can't be trusted. He issues a gag order for both camps.From then on every article began with "Bob Arum said".
There was nothing to say man. The media knew everything I just said because everything I know is from the media. The question is this... How many times do you keep repeating yourself and the media runs to Arum, takes his version of events, somehow skews reality to change your position, and then the media comes back to you for you to... REPEAT YOURSELF before you say, "You know what? F it. I told you what I told you. Don't ask me again."
Team PAC: We're trying to reach Team Floyd through HBO to make the fight... Team Floyd: No negotiations took place... I rather side with the team who's trying their best to negotiate and make the fight... Simple as that...
dude, you are not saying **** and then you act like everyone is suppose to say " ooh, it was pacs fault all along", just because you throw in a couple of emoticons.
Yeah. Pac was once again ducking drug tests. Arum was once again setting up a Rot Stank only Boxing Entertainment match. Of all people you should be the most afraid. They already paid Clottey off to take a dive. Arum may be setting the stage for Margarito to be the latest victim on the Pacquiao International KO Express.
You are right. I didn't say it. It is all over the Internet for anyone to read! Why are you getting butt hurt when the truth is collected and shoved down your throat? Why?
im not the one spending my summer defending some chicken **** on a boxing forum. now thats butt hurt.
both fighters are at faultt here floyd should hae come ot and said what up before the deadline but answer this did you watch the mayweather mosley fight if yes then remeeber when lamley says that do you want to fight pacman floyd says do the adequate drug testing up until the day before and we got a fight the thing is this is the first thing that team arum would have to tackle. without thjat being tackled there wud b no fight, so it just tells you that they never even went to the basic drugs testing
The bottom line is there is no blame to append, there weren't any negotiations, there was obviously some wishful thinking and some dissappointment but I don't really understand where all the backlash is coming from. The fight will happen, but it won't happen without negotiations from both parties involved. I guess part of it stems from the fact it doesn't fit your agenda or whatever, but the fact remains that there weren't negotiations to begin with, hence no one is to blame for negotiations that didn't happen to fall through.
I'm repeating this again. Fans want this fight. I fully support the team who's trying their best to make the fight rather than the team who doesn't want to negotiate.
