Manny v Floyd is "Bullshit" and not gonna happen says Ariza (Video)

[Beanflicker]

Ariza makes a lot of good points, Bob Arum is a known cheat and liar and he should be asked to prove every statement he makes.

Hasn't Arum got some Mega $$$ deal in place in China, i reckon he might want to take it there as part of his side of the bargain.

Floyd as we all know is never fighting outside of Vegas

i dont understand why bob arum would not want this to happen

A loss agsinst Mayweather would have a much worse effect than that KO by JMM or getting robbed against Bradley; he's still Pacquiao.

With Mayweather, it's his nemesis we're talking about and perhaps Arum doesn't want the fight to happen for that reason: it would burst what's left of the bubble, meaning less money for Arum in future fights, giving Floyd even more star-power, etc.

Pride.

He hates floyd with a passion.

He couldn't live with floyd beating his golden goose.

No offense to manny, he is a great fighter but bob arum is a c@nt.

[ruthless rocco]

Arum would have to open his accounting to the scrutiny of others. He can't afford to let the world and especially his fighters know how he screws them over.

The guy who runs CBS (which owns Showtime) is according to press reports handling the Floyd side of the negotiations, or at least overseeing them. Arum is handling the Manny side. Moonves, the CBS guy supposedly got involved because he thinks there's too muchleeway for Floyd to dodge the fight due to Espinoza's (Showtime boxing boss) close relationship with Haymon. Moonves has apparently told Espinoza that if he doesn't get the fight made he's fired and has told Haymon if the fight doesn't get made then Showtime does no more business with him other than the two Floyd fights they have contractually agreed to.

I'm hoping that this is accurate but I'm not holding my breath anymore. With Alvarez Cotto falling through it's looking like Floyd-Cotto, Manny-maybe Khan. If that does happen I hope Haymon does get blown out by Showtime and both Showtime and HBO hold the line against him till he implodes.
