    First off, I like both fighters. I'm sure PAC wants to fight and I know Floyd wants to fight. You can clearly see its not about blood tests, ducking, or lays off. Arum is clearly preventing the fight from happening and milking PAC because if he loses (just trying to put it nice by using the word "if") he knows his cash flow is at hault. PAC would likely retire. Even the judge wants to see the fight by allowing Floyd time to prepare for May 5th gives. Are you now convinced that its Arum? If not what are your reasons why its still not in negotiations?

    I love watching Pacquiao. He's one of my absolute favorites, but to answer your question...yes, I believe the problem now is Bob Arum. It's beyond frustrating. Screw him. Hopefully Pacquiao demands the fight and expresses serious interest. Arum is supposed to work for Pacquiao, not the other way around.

    Arum knows there is a really good chance that Pac will lose to Mayweather. Thats a problem for Arum on two levels. 1) he detests floyd, and Oscar and it would mean in his mind losing to both of them. 2) it would most likely push Pac into retirement and onto his career after boxing which Im sure he is having a tough time doing both. Meaning that Arums' cash cow and really only elite level earner on his roster would be gone. If Pac truthly wants the fight with Floyd, which I have a doubts about, then Arum could be using it like a carrot dangled in front of a racehorse, to keep him fighting and earning fairly easy huge paydays.

    What can you say about Floyd's demand he said to Koncz?

    If Arum is the only party to blame here?

    Killing you?

    Floyd won't even negotiate unless the lawsuit is dropped.

    What fight are we talking about?

    Mayweather picks May 5th, Arum says Pac's cut wont be healed by May.


    Mayweather sentenced to jail January 6th for 90 days, thus ruining his May 5th date, Arum says Pac will be ready in May, thats where we are looking for his next fight.

    Mayweather gets jail postponed, Arum says Pac is now again not ready. Magically.

    I hate when you get these Pacqauio fans that refuse to let Manny take any accountability for whats going on within his own inner circle. Bob Arum is the reason for this, Micheal Konz is the reason for that, Freddy Roach is the reason for this....at the end of the day Manny Pacquaio chooses these people.

    I refuse to sit here and believe that Bob Arum has complete control over Manny Pacqauio, of course he has an influence, but Manny is nothing short of the 1st or 2nd most profitable athlete in the sport.

    If Manny truly wanted to fight Floyd he'd be able to do it, I'm not buying this whole blame Bob Arum nonsense because its a complete fallacy.

    He would have done that if he really wanted to fight Floyd. I don't believe he does.

    While im not sure that its the case on this one, Arum has a history of doing things outside a fighters knowledge, and in his own self interest. Case in point is when he sued Margo to stop the williams fight, or when he rejected a fight between Floyd and Cotto without ever seeing if Cotto wanted the fight, he did the same thing with Pavlik with a fight that HBO wanted with Andrade.

    With that being said I find it hard to believe that Manny is totally in the blind and hasnt a clue whats going on. Roach too is really still, with is rarely the case.
