It’s really hard to come up with an opinion on this when TR only releases facts they want to release. We don’t know what was offered to Mayweather or what Manny conceded. From what it looks like to me it’s almost like a celebration for them, count down to the announcement of Manny fighting someone I personally have no interest in seeing him fight. I wish there was a countdown clock for ol’ Bob.

Boy Stop……….I been laughing at that $hit. They have it like Floyd is really looking or even knows about that thing.

im guessing he will wait at least 3 days after, before he says anything..
and people swear floyd is the one playing games.. bob is pretty smart though..
to the ones that dont follow the business end of the game they dont understand how bob is playing em..
bob would RATHER manny fight within his stable so he gets promo money from both fighters..
this situation is all funny yes… but us fans are the punchline
then we will hear what pac actually agreed to.. then we will here the spin from team arum…
i dont think i can keep arguing common sense w bullsh*t… its getting ridiculous already..
i almost banged my forehead into the keyboard yesterday trying to un "tard" these guys but its not possible..

Team Manny is Team fake hoax.
Team Manny probably offered Money a 14 day cut off and a 50/50 money split.
Then Team Manny told the public that they gave Money everything that Money asked for.
The PPV king is calling the shots. He has no time to waste with a fake JUICER.

I think this proves that Manny is willing to fight Mayweather for sure, it’s Mayweather playing hard to get. Like who cares if Arum is only after the Money, isn’t Mayweather too? The bigger point here is that people want to see this fight happen! I know I do.

I think it proves that Arum’s ego is bigger than Floyd’s and Manny’s combined. I can’t speak Floyd , but if I didn’t have to, I wouldn’t work for a guy like Arum. I mean, don’t get me wrong, Floyd’s no saint but at least he gets in the ring and does his business like a man. Arum. King and the rest like them manipulate others and have a parasitic existence, it’s unclean, kinda makes your flesh crawl when you think about the influence promoters have. Either they sign and fight each other or they don’t, the stupidity of time limit or an ultimatum is pure ego and has no place in the process, it’s offensive,, shameful even. Bob’s ego may have cost the boxing community the Pacquiao/Mayweather fight. I have always said Don and Bob were vampires, and vampires have ego’s, this proves it, Arum will never be the vampire that Don King was, and the fact that Bob will always be second pleases me.

I actually thinks its funny, but in reality and regardless of what ever any contract stipulates. Floyd should just come out and say YA or NAY… Okay, so if Floyd says no then he’ll be labeled a coward and yada yada yada, so what.. The beef of the argument should be "Are these guys going to fight or not"… Arum giving a deadline IMO is just trying to get some wheels in motion becuase no one like idle fights, and on the other hand MAYBE Floyd is building the suspence.. I dont know, and NOBODY KNOWs.
To me, it seems almost funny. To Floyd I think he trhinks this is disrespectful. This entire negotiation was supposed to be under a gag order and things like this violate that. Obviously there is something about the negotiation Floyd isn’t happy with or he would have signed…this is like Arum’s way of saying "Jump now, Boy!" And I have a feeling Floyd won’t respond to that. This is the same way Manny wouldn’t respond to taking Olympic Style drug tests.
Watching PTI and Around the Horn on ESPN today, tells me the media will believe Pacquiao and Arum (who they love). Hopefully, the people (who gave Floyd an ESPY for fighter of the year) will not buy into the writers’ bias.
