Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com on Tuesday that he wasn’t signing the contract that he received a draft of on April 15 because it wasn’t what he agreed to when the MGM, Mayweather Promotions and he signed the term sheet a couple months ago.
“We agreed that we would all be signatories on the final contract and then they sent us a draft of the agreement and it excluded us,” said Arum, who promotes Pacquiao.
Not being a signatory to the contract means that Top Rank wouldn’t have control of decisions during the fight, including in-arena production, video content and music.
