I don't know the legal ramifications of the gag order. It seems that Arum was more than happy to break it if their was one. Was their a gag order? I thought their was one. Was it agreed to by both parties. Was it voluntary or imposed by an outside party? Did it cover serious negotiations or any talk between the parties? There is a lot of what did or did not happen that we don't know.
Yeup. Ellerbe or Floyd could have easily used that as the excuse. But they had no excuse. Just "there were no negotiations." What a crock of ****. Took them a while to come up with that one.
Completely agree, sorry PBF its clear that you want nothing to do w/ pac. I was always pretty 50/50 in terms of not really pulling for either guy but its clear you want nothing to do w/ this fight. To much of a risk for your precious 0. Sad day for the sport when its held hostage by 1 giant ego.
If you cats could chill for a second, have you considered that maybe a public statement isn't being made because someone in the middle is fabricating their role. That maybe there weren't serious talks occuring but that one the parties in the middle were too prideful to say so. Maybe "I thought" I could get something done, but I wasn't recieved and taken as serious as I thought I would be. Just a thought.
Yep cuz if he didn't, we all know it would have been a reason from the beginning for the fight not happening.
Nothing legal about the 'gag order'. It was voluntary to try and make this happen at the request of HBO.
Not very likely at all. These are people that are used to getting things done. They have proven track records. Remember Oscar's statement? Sorry, this is nonsensical.
Sounds like Greenburg did all he can and did it correctly IF Arum and Haymon got to the point of having a contract to offer Floyd.
who knows...read the article, and it basically offers nothing new, that we didn't know and i'm not saying he would lose his job, but basically, no fight = no comment...no reason for him to risk his neck, or risk future deals, by getting in the middle of a mess
If anyone, its Haymon who sold a bill of goods he couldn't deliver and that ultimately falls on Mayweather.
One of the parties in the middle, meaning Greenburg, Schaefer AND dela Hoya? While you're earnestly making up all these maybe's to cover someone's ass, why don't you include Haymon as well in the "parties in the middle"? :nut
