What else could Pacquiao's side have done to persuade Floyd to agree already?

    You know what, I came at you because of the interaction we had earlier.

    It was YOU who keeps saying Mayweather needs to say something, but you openly agree that they agreed to not say anything. Kind of confusing?

    Maybe you aren't ripping Mayweather. Maybe I am caught up in ripping anyone who might be ripping him. For that? I apologize.

    No man. Mayweather not talking when he can is a fact. I never gave a reason why he wasn't talking. Never even said he was ducking, the but facts are what they are. He is free to talk now and tonight. In fact he was free to talk as soon as Arum made the challenge weeks ago but he didn't. Those are the facts.

    Huh? The reason he isn't talking is that is what they agreed to right and or he wasn't negotiating?

    Last time I checked he was on vacation. He even said, "How can we be negotiating when I am on vacation?" Things like this are easily found on google. That is the last "official" word I heard from anyone in the Mayweather camp.

    But you have "the facts"?

    Do you realize that they are no longer negotiating? Once a final contract is sent negotiations are over. They were waiting on Floyd to answer. He has to speak up to reply. Even if he's on vacation, plenty of people to talk for him. How hard is that to understand?

    You heard that from? Arum. Who said they started negotiating? Arum. Who said they were not talking? Arum. Who set a deadline? Arum. So now the deadline has come and gone and guess what? It wasn't really a deadline it was a negotiation tactic orchestrated by? Arum. You see a theme here?

    Like I told you yesterday, we don't even know if they every really negotiated let alone if the contract Arum presented was even sign worthy.

    -- USADA testing
    -- +50%

    We all know that is what Mayweather wants. Fortunately/Unfortunately the Clottey debacle and the Mosley fight gave him the leverage to demand it.

    Are you that dense? How does any of what you stated prevents Floyd from speaking? Even if Arum lied about everything... how hard would it be for Floyd or his team to come out and say that Arum is full of ****? That wouldn't violate any gag orders.
    If you were Floyd and the media's on your ass about this fight, but you know that Arum is lying, wouldn't speak up?
    No one knows why Floyd isn't speaking right now, but it sure as hell has nothing to do with a gag order.

    Am I that dense? Are you? What is there for him to speak on? If Arum is in the press playing a manipulation game why the hell would he interrupt his vacation to weigh in on this BS? Especially given the climate that ESPN has in always calling him a coward then asking him to talk?

    If I was FMJ? I would shut up and let this crap boil. I would let Arum set up that horrible Pac matchup. Then I would make a statement and post all of the documents online showing the BS terms Arum offered.

    This is EXACTLY what happened last time. Mayweather was silent before only saying, "If he wants to fight me all he has to do is ask." He then agreed to damn near everything. Then he was silent again until the arbitration was over and FINALLY said, "I want to kick Pacquiao's punk ass."

    You see a pattern?

    First of all that's not what you argued. You keep insisting that Floyd's not speaking because of an agreement. This is BS.
    Secondly Floyd is being called out now by Arum. Given a deadline. Everyone in boxing waiting for an answer. How hard would it be to even have a press release stating to the effect of "Floyd Mayweather gets pushed around by no one. Arum can suck my dick". This is unprecedented.

    No. There are a multitude of reasons why FMJ may not be speaking. You just seem to refuse to accept any of them. Why? I have no idea.

    -- Gag agreement - Arum said it
    -- Crappy contract - Speculation, but 100% positive +50% and USADA isn't offered
    -- On vacation - Last official word out of the Mayweather camp.
    -- ESPN are a-holes - They call him a coward and wonder why nobody is talking to them?

    You are just starving for info so... Blame Mayweather. Look I want to know as bad as anyone else, but these negotiations are eerily similar to the last negotiations. Arum has an agenda to put his fighters together and do so at Mayweather's expense.

    Remember, 14 days was offered, Arum lied and said it wasn't, then admitted it was, but he had Pac fight Clottey anyway. That time too Mayweather said NOTHING. It took the arbitrator and negotiations to be completely called off by Arum to get Mayweather to speak. Remember?
