some terms of the pac-floyd fight

boxing news quoted bob arum that manny agreeded to blood and urine testing all the way up to the day of the fight..now for folks who gave a guilty verdit to pac on peds can shut there ignorant non democratic mouth..there was no arguement against a 50-50 split which is fair.thoses were 2 points of negotiations that the pac team agreeded upon..there is no dispute from anyone saying thats false information at all..floyd changed his 14 day cutoff period from the last negotiations to the testing up to any including the day of the fight...pac said fine ok lets fight..i agree...now whos TRYING to make this fight happen and whos not..

From what I have heard (one sided), Pac appears to have been trying to make the fight alot more than Floyd.
I'm not going to be anymore critical of Floyd than I have been already(pretty critical), until I hear both sides of the story.

I have a feeling that Manny's side will make more logical sense and I will throw Floyd's worthless ass onto the fire pretty soon.

lol..i agree captain.bring on pac -berto...please.

I really really really hate Arum right now.

Quit with the "guys can't sell tickets". Clottey couldn't give away a damn ticket.

Berto and PW are two guys that I'd like to see Pac fight. Just say you will only have Manny fight in house (unless it is Mayweather). That would be the truth.

Arum said he never spoke directly to the Mayweather camp during negotiations, but said he believed he and Mayweather adviser Al Haymon settled on an agreement during the talks that went entirely through Ross Greenburg, the president of HBO Sports, which would have produced and distributed the fight on pay-per-view.

"That's based on my conversations with Ross Greenburg," Arum said. "I have never talked to anybody on the Mayweather side. Ross represented to me certain things that he had discussed with Al Haymon on behalf of Floyd Mayweather."





So there really never were any negotiations since Arum never spoke to the Mayweather camp at all.

nonsence...mediators involved with the money like hbo disgussed terms.all are settled upon by folks representing the fighters.the terms were sent to pac via arum and he gave the ok..floyds represenatives said ok and brought the thing to floyd with a statement manny has said yes..thats negotiations..to chalk up a few months of serious talks and finaly agreement on points is negotiations.arum relays his thoughts to the mediator..its not needed to talk to floyds folks directly cause arum wanted to reduce the bad blood between everyone..

No matter what went on Floyd's credibility has now taken a huge blow.

ali i agree...noo credabilty is left..just excuses..arum for once gave floyd a dignified out.he should of said case closed.

Here are the terms of the Pac - MW fight. Manny wanted to fight. Floyd didn't. Time for boxing to move on.

Arum is giving Floyd an out (Roger's situation) as he wants to keep open the possibility of a fight in the first half of next year.

I hope that Pac doesn't fight cotto again. Cotto has fought alot of good fighters and taken alot of shots over the last 4-5 years. I wouldn't want him to take a real beating at the hands of Pac again.

...very good frank .to the point and true.

if pac and cotto fought again im not going to discount the fact that cotto can win that fight..especialy if he attacks pacs body..cotto will be a solid 153-54 pac perhaps 146..pac will be the big favorite but im not closing cotto out as having no chance..both fighters bruise very easy is a factor...cause cotto got destroyed the first fight lets not discount him after all louis got destroyed by schmeling ali by norton and patterson by ingo..
how many of us thought pac was taking on to much fighting cotto the first time.i think cotto will do well for a while..i dont think he will win but ill give him a respectable chance..one punch or a good combo does wonders to turn things into a upset..
