    i promise you this guy is doing his best to sabotage the fight....i don't know why no one else sees it... the only person talking to the media instead of in a negotiation room.....if bob wasn't a part of this, the fight woulda been happened 6 years ago......i've never been more positive of nothing in my time as a fan of the sport
    lol so it has nothing to do with anyone but arum again?

    pattern of behavior.....

    no one else is running to the media complaining about how difficult the fight is to make but bob....

    lol this is what i'm saying,
    hes complaining to the media about the fight being difficult to make so that means hes not trying to make the fight?
    what?
    this is the same ? as when the showtime rep said theres no tv deal yet so pacman couldnt have signed anything
    or when hbo said they aren't holding anything up
    its negotiating through the media, its done all the time, it doesn't sabotage the fight.
    whether or not the ? gets made at this point is hanging on a tv deal. the fighters settled their differences already.

    it sounds like he's justifying not pursuing the fight in the eyes of the ? who already hates floyd to begin with.....

    he would rather prefer a fight where there's not as many hands in the ? .......old people be stuck in their ways.......

    in arum's own words....

    "I don't want to, because if I did that fight, I would be working for such a small percentage, it's not worth it," he said.

    granted that was 9 years ago.. but ever since i saw that, i never doubted his motivation in fights......pattern of behavior

    lol so now all of the sudden floyd gives a ? about public opinion? him being in the negative has made him a millionaire. and if hes that ? sensative that arum making him look scared in the media would make him call off the fight hes a ? .
    we all know thats not the case though so why act like its relevant to the negotiations

    Bruh it's about Arum complaining to the public instead of just working behind the scenes

    He's swaying the media and the casuals so it's easier for him to not make the fight

    Make no mistake, he would rather not have this fight happen

    hes complaining to the media because the fight is still undone.
    remember floyd is in the position of power, all arum can do is complain about the demands.
    we don't know the ? and the last anyone close to floyds side spoke on it they said it was the networks holding ? up.
    floyd and manny met wit koncz and the reports out of that were it went well

    arum is swaying the media for the seemingly inevitable breakdown in negotiations. its his job as a promoter to save face for his fighter.
    none of anything he has said has been deal breaking or to not make the fight.
    all the ? is doing is covering his ass for if things breakdown

    That is an extreme stance to take on Broner. Broner right now vs Berto at his peak I would pick Broner to beat him.

    For ? who been paying attention, not only are issues unresolved between the networks, there are still issues unresolved between the fighters. So much for Pacquiao agreeing to all of Mayweathers terms. Lol

    I heard on the Dan LeBatard show yesterday that Arum isn't really what's holding things up now. It's the tv deals. HBO and Showtime are having a hard time coming to an agreement on how to handle it, and contractual obligations make it so they have to get that done before anything can happen.
