Showtime体育执行副总裁兼总经理斯蒂芬·埃斯皮诺萨今天表示,有关梅威瑟与帕奎奥的谈判还在进行中,但并没有任何合同被起草。
在过去的一周里,阿鲁姆-帕奎奥-康齐分别告诉媒体,各方已经同意条款,帕奎奥已经签字,就等着梅威瑟签字了。阿鲁姆甚至告诉媒体;该做的我们都做了,我们已经签署了一切,梅威瑟的人也同意了,网络已经同意,我们同意所有的条款。就差梅威瑟尚未签约。
然而在今天凌晨,埃斯皮诺萨在Twitter上反驳了这三个男人。当被粉丝问到为什么梅威瑟尚未签署,埃斯皮诺萨说;签署什么?现在根本就没有起草合同,谈判仍在进行中。阿鲁姆这是昨天有人在撒谎,今天,有人说的是实话。
According to Showtime Sports Executive Vice President and General Manager Stephen Espinoza, discussions are still ongoing and no contracts have been drafted for the long-awaited mega-fight between undefeated pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather and 8-division world champion Manny Pacquiao. The news comes on the heels of statements made by both Bob Arum and Michael Koncz suggesting that all parties have agreed to terms, Pacquiao has already signed a contract, and they're just waiting on Mayweather to sign his end of the deal.
For the past week, Arum, Koncz and Pacquiao have informed anyone and everyone within earshot that they have agreed to all terms and "signed off" on their end of the deal. YouTube videos seem to be popping up daily showing Koncz, Arum and Pacquiao all sending the same message: sign the contract! In one interview, Koncz suggested that "in principle, there is a contract signed by Manny." In another interview, Arum went so far as to say, "We're all done. We've signed everything. We've agreed on all the terms. As far as we know, we've been told by the highest authority that Mayweather's people have agreed, the networks have agreed, but like they say, you can't do a play about Hamlet without Hamlet, and Hamlet, meaning Mayweather, has not yet signed on."
In the early hours of the morning, however, Espinoza took to Twitter to refute the claims made by all three men. When asked point blank by one of his followers why Mayweather has yet to sign, Espinoza replied, "Signing what? No contract has been drafted yet." As others began sharing some of the YouTube videos with him, Espinoza added, "What the hell is everyone signing???" He also explained that negotiations were still ongoing, contradicting statements made by Arum suggesting that everything is done. It seems as though yesterday, someone was lying and today, someone is telling the truth. Check out some of Espinoza's tweets below:
Signing what? No contract has been drafted yet. "@foxynumerouno: Did Manny agree to Floyds terms? If yes, why isn't Floyd signing?"

Yes, we're still trying to make the fight. "@andrew88fields: Don't play their game. Just please tell us are negotiations still ongoing?"

You can sign a contract in principle? Must have missed that day of law school. "@HoopJab: Manny has signed the contract in principle - Koncz
