:wow:



But Arum's insistence on public comments are clearly an impediment to reaching a deal. That is one point that people on both sides of the aisles in these talks agree about. Top Rank president Todd duBoef is irate at Arum, his step-father, but has essentially thrown his hands up in the air and said he can't control Arum.

Even Pacquiao's team has gotten upset at Arum's willingness to go on the record with comments that often don't add up.

Why not Al and Roy for commentary?

I'm cool with Lampley as the host if they want to go that route...My concern with him doing play-by-play is a repeat of Pacquiao vs JMM 3 where his over the top stanning mislead the fans...

I honestly feel it should be put up to a fan vote since they're asking us to pay $100 for this PPV...

Jim Lampley has to do the play by play. He's better than Mauro Ranallo, even with his biases. And that's no shot at Mauro. I think he's good, especially given that he's an MMA guy. But Lampley has a ton of experience and gives insight Mauro just can't.

I think Al Bernstein will keep him honest and disagree where he needs to. Same goes for Paulie, Roy, or Ward if they're the third analyst.

from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
The only nikka still on Bobs side is @black_arum :88:
Im not on anyone's side.. at least Bob is accessible to the press/media, at least we're getting something from him for the Bob Arum haters to call bullshyt on.. What has Floyd given us?? A tweet?? Not too long ago he was lying about negotiations even taking place.. Nobody calls him out on that.. there supposed to be deep in negotiations and Floyd is giving you a picture of him sleeping in a hammock on some island somewhere:what: A picture of him sitting down with Pac telling you to buy his app:what:Why is he even meeing with Pacquiao?? I thought Pacquiao wasn't a boss, I thought he was just a pawn.. Why isn't he meeting face to face with Bob Arum or Deboef?? We STILL dont even know what the holdups are.. Floyd claims there's no contract, nobody's asking why there isn't one.. Nobodys askin Haymon shyt because he wont allow himself to be interviewed.. you can call me BlackArum all you want when all im saying is be patient until the facts come forward instead of taking FatDan tweeting about "sources" or Espinosa denying anything Bob says, and yall nikkas running with it

My friend chat wrap

_Bob did make Pac sign a contract to fight Floyd. His guess is the contract involves Arum and HBO. Pac signed it without consulting anybody. He said what Arum did was illegal but hey Pac is not complaining, :heh:
Pac-May meeting was set up by Pac manager ands FLoyd who met with FLoyd earlier. Pac is not smart enough to understand that Koncz was Arum's spy on a mission to know what Floyd wanted to say to Manny, also to keep Manny on track.

Haymon is also clueless as to what's going on. Arum not telling everybody the same story. He said Arum told him they spoke to FLoyd camp and waiting to announce but he does not know why different stories are reported.

Canelo wanna fight Lara again or JCC Jr on a catchweight. Nothing set in stone yet. JCC wanna fight Froch, B Hop or GGG. He said Arum holds no grudge over JCC leaving. May havew something up his sleeve :heh:
Ward still has a chance of fighting this year, but Jigga will have to gamble and take a financial loss.Ward signed with Jay instead of Haymon due to his job with HBO. HBO stalling because they really want Lampley in there ( I guess so that he can stan and mislead the casuals, which will guarantee a rematch most likely, imo)

SHowtime is giving in demands after demands. He said he talked to Arum last week and Arum swore the fight is made already. It's just drama and petty demands.

This guy is Arum's friend and cool with Haymon but I can tell he's been fukked by Arum :laff:

@Big Boss @Newzz

@SuikodenII I ll PM you with your answers.

According to m y guy he talked to them except Arum. Arum is not that available to Floyd. He said Pac was shook of FLoyd after that meeting. Pac came out so quiet and deceived. He believes Floyd put Pac on some game about his finances. He guarantees if the fight does not happen, Pac will see Arum in court. :mjpls:


Pac did not give KOncz any details of the meeting because he was with Koncz when Pac told them he gotta go to bed, right after their meeting
