By Jason Kim: According to Michael Marley of Examiner.com, he believes that the mega fight between WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. is getting made. Marley believes that after seeing Arum and noticing his smile and smirk. Marley says he’s watched Arum for 40 years and knows him really well. He feels that judging by how happy Arum has been lately that the fight is likely close to being made. Marley says that Pacquiao will be flying into New York next Wednesday and he thinks that the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight will be pretty much finalized by that point.
It says a lot about Marley’s intuition to be able to read Arum so well, because Marley is seeing all this based on Arum’s smirk and smile. There’s a gag rule that Arum put on himself for discussing the negotiations with the media, but Marley thinks Arum already gave it away with how happy he is. Marley is guessing that the fight will be announced by mid June in a press conference and thinks that the purse split will be 50-50 based on how happy Arum is looking. I
f this was any other writer, I wouldn’t believe him, but Marley has been around for a long time and is well familiar with Arum, and his non verbal communication. Some people are like a book, you can read them even when they’re not talking. Marley feels that Arum is like this.
