I have a couple of comments for some of you people out there... or should I say some of you morons out there... Now as we all know friday was the supposed "dead line" for the floyd mayweather - manny pacquiao fight, but I have one question to ask you. Are YOU sipping the Arum Kool - Aid? Basically What I'm asking is do you truly believe what Arum is saying? This guy is notoriously known as one of the biggest lying, con-artist, spin doctors we have in the sport of boxing. What is sad to me is that people believe him when its convenient. When it supports their fighters arum is telling 100% truth, and when he isn't arum is full of ****. Everyone needs to pick a side of the fence and its obvious what side that should be. This dude is a jokester and should not be taken seriously.... Obviously the negotiation process was bull****.
You know, I never thought of it that way. I also pegged arum a great and wise, charitable human being! Thanks... Mayweather is the victim here.
Arum just said that yesterday was the deadline where Pacquiao would start negotiating with other fighters.
you probabaly believe floyd sr then? he advised his son not fight pacquiao. floyd just honored his father's advice.
yea, arum is a lying pos who will probably die with a penny in his mouth. i still would trust him a lot more than a woman beating son of a crack dealer.
This is not even an issue concerning Arum. Mayweather has already made it public he doesn't want to face Pacquiao in 2010... That's the issue !
Anybody with any Real intellect knows that Arum is just milking his cash cow till Floyd decides to fight and KO Pac. Theres ****ing truckloads of money to be made on Pac. Arum not being born yesterday knows this. The way things have played out really just put Floyd back in his throne so to speak. As now were waiting on Floyd. Floyd knows this and he also knows the longer we and everybody wait the more people will buy his fights. In the meantime Pac will fight 1 or 2 guys everyone knows he can beat. Another thing, it really hasnt been hard to tell that Arum really doesnt want Floyd yet. The important reason has been stated.
*****s want everybody to blame Arum instead. Ideally, blaming Pac is better but blaming Arum will do because everybody is blaming Mayweather.
the only problem here was if floyd really wants to fight and accepts the challenge. arum had just finished with pac-clottey and he thinks pac-floyd is for all the marbles now. arum is also risking pac here in a fight against cotto and margo. why not cash-in now and get the biggest money in pac-floyd? it was by far a floyd decision alone that have moth-balled the fight. arum played his card well though. his in a win-win situation.
The whole boxing world knows Arum is a POS. It also takes a POS person to become one of the greatest boxing promoters of all time. I'm sure you have watched many of Bob Arum's fights that he has promoted for 4 decades. The POS can put fights together like no other. The fact that he can't seem to get Floyd to fight makes me wonder (and the whole world for that matter) on who the true POS really is in these negotiations: the promoter? or the boxer that has gone into hiding?
