If we close a deal, then mtg was productive : You said "it remains to be seen whether it was productive"what did you mean?

I especially lol'ed atPac's comment about Floyd Jr.:
"Mabait naman siya" ("He was pleasant/polite").

I know a couple years back Freddy said that Pacquiao really disliked mayweather, and that for the first time they would have to work on pacquiao keeping his head cool. Do you think he still holds that grudge?

its just an act...watch he speaks like a scholar behind closed doors

The Jim Lampley thing is just something that Dan Rafael assumed was an issue. No one has specifically confirm that Floyd is having problems with Lampley being involved. This is why i dislike, Dan. I don't think Koncz told him anything in specific details about what issues Floyd had with HBO. He just gave his own biased opinion about what he thinks the issues were about and some fans will accept what he said as the truth even though he admitted he just guessed that's what the issues were about.

Yep


The past couple of weeks lance>>>>>>>>fat dan

I think he may hold ill feelings over past, racist trash talk:

In the phone interview...
What he said in Tagalog can be translated to English as
"there are no more reasons to hold up the fight", but can
also (if you wish) be translated as "he(?) has run out of
reasons to avoid the fight".

He could have been less ambiguous in his choice of words,
but perhaps he chose not to be.

Very very interesting.... In your opinion would this win be even bigger than the win over Oscar in the Philippians?!

Yep. The level of true journalism and professionalism between the two is night and day. Lance only reports what he's told from legit sources who have knowledge of what's going on. Dan reports what he's told as well, but he has a tendency to jump to conclusions and make ****s up or maybe someone is greasing his palm to do so. I guess he knows which side his bread is buttered.
