I am not going to believe anything until there is a sign contract until then there is nothing to get excited about, especially if it is Bob Arum talking about it.
Here is what Arum had to say.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has told BoxingScene.com/Manila Standard/Viva Sports that talks with the camp of Floyd Mayweather Jr about a megabuck showdown with eight division world champion and “Fighter of the Decade” Manny Pacquiao are ongoing but whether a fight will ultimately happen – nobody really knows.
In an overseas telephone conversation Arum said – “the talks are slow but at least there is movement.”
When asked whether the negotiations, as mentioned by Pacquiao’s longtime adviser Michael Koncz, was going back and forth on the issue of the fighters purses and the pay-per-view split, Arum replied “its always about money.”
Pacquiao is going to have to give up a whole lot to make this fight happen, don’t hold your breath.
