In a series of tweets, Golden Boy Promotions President Oscar dela Hoya bashes his former promoter Bob Arum as not wanting the Pacquiao vs Mayweather fight to happen.
This is his final message on his twitter account Sunday night,
Bob Arum is going to the Philippines today to meet with Manny Pacquiao and present four possible opponents – WBA junior middleweight beltholder Miguel Cotto, WBA/WBO lightweight titleholder Juan Manuel Marquez, IBF/WBA junior welterweight beltwinner Lamont Peterson and WBO division welterweight champion Tim Bradley.

After Las Vegas County judge Melissa Saragosa allowed Floyd Mayweather, Jr’s incarceration to be postponed until June 1, boxing fans were elated because Pacquiao vs Mayweather might finally happen.
Not so fast according to Uncle Bob (Arum) as he pointed out various excused, imagined or not for the fight not to happen.

Here’s are Mayweather’s other tweets:
Breaking news Bob Arum is saying no Mayweather fight because they will loose 20 million on gate.and Paquiao said he gave in on 2 demands… Blood test and smaller share of purse. [link]
people who don’t want to aknowledge that arum is trying to take boxing down with him are just plain ignorant. [link]
Back when I had a promoter I would say who I wanted to fight. [link]
That last tweet might be a subtle jab at Pacquiao.
Although Ring Magazine’s current number pound for pound boxer has said that he wants Mayweather to be his next opponent, it’s not going to happen if he takes a seat back to Arum and not demand the fight against Mayweather.
