How can he sign a contract if negotiating is still happening?What about the non-disclosure? He tears the lies apart over and over.

People behind the scenes at both HBO and Showtime are saying Bob is in the way, history says Bob is in the way. Even Mannys manager says Bob is in the way. Produce the damn contract, that's easy enough.
I haven't been following this stuff very close so I could have missed a headline hear and there, but I never saw one that said Pacquiao signed a contract with the Venetian. I saw one that said Pacquiao signed a two year extension deal woth $75 million and another one that top rank signed a deal for Zou and the Murata from Japan but nothing that would indicate a deal with a Venue for certain fighters. When you thing about it, it make no sence for a promotional company to sign a contract with a venue to have exclusive site rights to a fighter. I doubt if it is true, that Top Rank has a contract with the Venetian in Macu, it would be exclusive to Pacquiao fights.

Taking a look a the video, a lot of stuff that Ariza says just does'nt make much sence. From what I could gather, it sounded like Ariza is saying there was no contract for Pacquiao to sign and it's all BS.

I said I'll believe there is a fight when the venue is set and it's offical. So far I've been seeing that the venue is set, Mayweater confirms they are in negeoiations. Then as part of the rumor mill and appearances Pacquiao has signed on to Mayweather demands and is just waiting for Mayweather to confirm. Other than that, I've just seen the rumor mill anfer rumor mill. One speculation is Mayweater is waiting for the Superbowl to announce the fight.
