    It's common knowledge when looked at from a reality based standpoint. Most of the people who say silly things like Floyd's deathly afraid of Pacquiao are delusional Pacquiao fans [who Jim Lampley described as 'irrational'], Mayweather haters, or people who take Bob Arum's lying ass on his word. Given the success of the 1st round of negotiations [clearly there was some form of success if the fight was announced], it's common knowledge that the terms and conditions can be made to the liking of both parties. The only issue was the drug testing. Common sense says that if there is enough time to come to terms, and every term is agreed upon, then a fight will take place. With that said, it appears to many that Bob Arum has kept Manny busy enough to have absolutely no time for any serious negotiations to take place. Meaning that he was hiding Manny in plain sight by keeping him busy. Like stated, thos will be the longest time in between opponents since the whole fight build up began. Ppl now see the light.

    Getting some good responses now thanks.

    I'm definetly a bigger fan of Manny than floyd. And I sit on the fence for the 1st negotiations falling through, because I see both sides of the argument, and Think Ego's got involved.

    I even agree with the fact that Maybe Bob Arum doesn't want the fight too.

    However, I don't agree that floyd has been wanting this fight for 2 years, and Manny has been ducking him. It's just not true.

    If he wanted the fight he would have opened negotiations with Manny any time in the last 2 years.

    Yes I agree with the argument that bob arum and manny never did either. But *****s are suddenly saying as if Manny been ducking him for 2 years.

    Show me one time where floyd has been available for a fight when Manny has been searching for an opponont in the last 2 years. The only times they have both been free, Floyd has said he was on Vacation.

    Noone can prove that Arum neccesarilly wanted the fight either, and there is a very good possible that he didn't and he just made it seem like he did.

    However I do know that 100%, Floyd has not been interested in fighting Manny untill he saw te Marquez Fight.

    A *******'s wet dream.

    Arum doesn't want Manny in the same time zone as Floyd.

    That is my impression as well. And I find it a bit repulsive. I dont have any problem to believe *****s saying Bob Arum been an obstacle, I just dont trust Floyd.

    Nope. Hours after Pac beat Cotto, Mayweather gave GBP the go signal to begin negotiations with Pac and his team. Its on an article here somewhere I believe.

    Exactly. Anyone here who thinks Mayweather became interested in the Pacquiao fight only after the Marquez rubbermatch is delusional.

    What did we see in the last Pacquiao Marquez fight that was any different than what we saw in the previous two matches?

    *******s need to take their heads out of their asses...

    Am i a ***** if i answer?

    i don't think even the most hardened Mayweather fan would blame pac for the fight not happening, mostly Bob Arum

    but to answer your question the amount of **** Roach and his team have come out with in the last 3 years its hard to look anywhere else to put the blame.

    Roach prior to 1st negoiations said testing was a non issue and then they pull out of the fight stating the testing. then the im afraid of needles nonsense and then finally now even Ariza says its Arums fault the fight ain't happening.

    If Pac is willing to stand by while Arum, a contracted entity, fuggs up what would be the highest grossing fight in boxing history, then he (Pac) deserves the majority of the blame.

    Pac is no innocent bystander in this, he's actually EMPOWERING Arum to pimp him. This is his career, legacy, and finances at stake.

    .

    At the end of the day Pac SHOULD be a boss he makes the final decisions and people are working for HIM not the other way around.. He will make THEM money he is the cash cow..

    Too bad he is just so passive and displays no interest in fighting Floyd,he has not been calling him out etc.. I think he wants the fight but I feel he is unsure.

    "I could see why Manny wouldn't want the fight now"

    "Manny isn't afraid to lose. He'll be happy Floyd has opened up negotiations again."

    :huh
