I actually remember someone on hear saying months ago (maybe even as far back as late last year) that Arum was setting this fight up but at the time I laughed at the notion of it. A lot of people are asking why Mayweather didn't accept but have the details of this contract Manny signed been made public yet?
You know it is funny how they say "Floyd should have said something..." when Arum is out in the streets lying. Now why don't they say "Manny should have taken the tests..." if Mayweather's dad is saying he took PED's? No matter how many lies they catch Manny and Arum in they will never put the blame on those two cheats.
Nope and they never will be. I was saying it from day one. These negotiations went eerily similar to the last negotiations where Pac fans to this day can't explain why Pac/Arum dropped out of negotiations. As soon as Margarito turned down a fight with Martinez it was obvious what was happening. To top it off Arum has now reached his tentacles into the 154 division. Cotto beat Foreman. Now he holds two belts there. It is sickening.
Ok...Here is another futile attempt to help you idiots realize what Arum is doing. In fact, here is a Thread I created on 7-15-2010 that broke-it-down about his intentions: http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=240149 We'll start with a series of Questions, and I will type REAL SLOW so the Pacquiao/Roach fans can keep up. 1) Pacquiao was just recently elected to Congress in his Homeland...right? 2) Now with that being said...He will probably only fight for another year or two...Right? 3) Now, how many fights would that be...2-4 more fights. I am think 3 more...Sounds about right Pacquiao Fans? 4) Bob Arum has had two Elite-Level Future hall of Fame fighters "Break" from Top Rank citing reasons that Arum doesn't work for his fighters best interest (De La Hoya and Mayweather)...RIGHT? 5) Pacquiao is Bob Arum's Cash Cow right? A serious win streak against fighters that doesn't have his speed or Ability...Right? 6) There is Video of Roach listing the reason why he chose "certain" fighters to match against Pacquiao while also admitting that HE REFUSED TO FIGHT A CERTAIN FIGHTER BECAUSE HE POSED TOO MUCH OF A CHALLENGE AND RISK FOR PACQUIAO....AND HE WAS 38 YEARS OLD....RIGHT? 7) Why would Arum and Roach risk putting Pacquiao into the ring with a fighter with the potential to beat him knowing he will retire into politics within the coming years....Right? 8) Everyone is asking why is Mayweather SO QUIET...RIGHT? Well isn't Pacquiao just as QUIET when 5 of the Top-Shelf, Elite-Level Fighters in the Sport have All called out Pacquiao (Alexander, Bradley, Berto,, Williams and Marquez). All of these fighters are available in November and NONE OF THEM ARE REQUESTING ADDITIONAL DRUG TESTING....RIGHT? 9) Why would Arum risk the win streak of his Best Fighter in Top-Rank now...Right? When we all know that Arum wants to SQUEEZE every dollar he can out of Pacquiao before he retires. Think about it. 50,000 people to see Pacquiao fight an African Statue with a low work-rate and no sense of urgency...Knowing he was trailing on the scorecards Clottey threw a combined 26 punches in the last 2 rounds...REALLY???? 10) So here is what Arum is going to do...And he is going to sell it as if it was his ONLY OPTION, Instead of just KEEPIN' IT REAL!!! Margarito in November. Cotto has made himself relevant again. And Arum will Match Cotto against someone like Angulo or that other 154lbs Belt holder that is completely GARGABGE Sergyi Dzinruk. And when Cotto wins these fights...Arum will say: "Damn, I just made a ton of Money in Mexico capitolizing on the Large population of Mexican Fight Fans...why not Capitalize on the on the Boricua Fight fan in Puerto Rico or Madison Square Garden in a rematch against Miguel Cotto. 11) And All this will happen before beginning any REAL NEGOTIATIONS with Mayweather. WRITE DOWN...IN INK!!! Any and everyone can this **** coming!!!! Mayweather vs Pacquiao will not happen until 2011 after Pacquiao beats Margarito, Cotto or even another None Defensive Punching Bag...Just to Fatten his Pockets. 12) Now for the record...I have no problem with Arum doing this. It just troubles me that he has to lie about another fighter to hide his intentions...and on top of that, The ESB Idiot Club, all jumps on board as if what Arum is saying is: THE REAL UNADULTERATED TRUTH. And it's quite sad that none of the Pacquiao fans cannot see through this ****!!! And want to turn every thread/issue/topic into some angry, pissed-off Mayweather Bashing Agenda based on HATRED. Another Great Quote from Dr. Cornel West: "The sign of Immaturity is when you allow your emotions to dictate your actions and/or responses".
and the joyboys could not address this. all they have was arum is a lier forgetting that floyd himself had told us fans that he is not thinking of boxing (pacquiao) right now and he was on vacation.
Seriously, atsch why did you have to post this, Floyd was already scared enough after seeing Pac take care of Cotto and Hatton, now with this clip we will never see that ****ing fight, Thanks :-(
you still won't answer the point. if arum's offer, public challenge, was fake from the very start all floyd has to do was accept it publicly and expose arum as a lier. what floyd did was tell us fans and **** on us all that he doesn't want to fight pacquiao cause he is on vacation. makes you think if he really wants to fight pacquiao in the first place. it is more clearer now that floyd has some reservations in fighting pac and sees pac as too much risk/threat.
So DLH saying a deal was close was Bs, Oscar was helping Uncle Bob was he? . Its to late to spin this Crackhead Jr was called a coward on national TV.
While you conveniently omit the fact that GBP said ODLH made a mistake. :roll: *******s are like school girls in love. No matter how bad a situation they are too blind to see the truth.
What part of the "Im taking a couple of years from boxing " dont you *****s ***s understand?How is that Arum or anyone else's fault?you clowns can twist things whichever direction you want but the reason this fight isnt happening is cause fraud doesnt want to.
No Jr is doing what he always does .He refuses to fight people that are at there peak. Post a sign outside everywhere he stays Challenge Yourself you creepy little turd""
Again, why would he? Why should he? He said everything that needed to be said after the Mosley fight in the ring and at the post fight press conference. USADA drug testing or no fight. That is pretty clear and concrete. The rest of the terms don't even matter. Now the REAL question is why are you Pac fans not asking Arum to specify the EXACT terms Pac agreed to? Is Pac willing to do USADA drug testing? Why aren't YOU asking?
Take the test for what ?your idol has already said hes taking a couple of years off from boxing.what is amazing is the way you ***s keep defending that coward.
