Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[Carpe Diem]

This whole thing is pure comedy. First the fighters were fine with all the terms, now we're hearing there's bit of disagreement about some of the terms. Arum is blabbing about his usual "Let's blame Floyd" PR bullshˇt tactic and would like to see the fight happens on his own terms with the date of his choosing even though the guys who'll do the actual fighting in the ring have no problems with the date and the fight will sell itself with or without Arum's help. The fact that Arum is not in total control is what's bugging him the most about the fight. The old POS usually gets his way one way or another, but he's having a hard time doing it with all of the bigger parties that are involved in negotiations.

I should've never let my guard down and fall for their tricks again, but they fooled us again or maybe they're just playing the delay game to try to surprise us. Everyone thought it would happen around Super Bowl weekend and it did not. TMZ also sort of ruined the surprise, so maybe being the egomaniac that Floyd is, he'll probably try to make the announcement when we're least expecting it and not let anyone ruin the surprise. I'm still 10% hopeful it'll happen, but if it doesn't happen, they're both going to get major backlash from every angle.

Look at marquez face...imagine if it went 12 rounds. I'm glad pac went down on 6, coz even i'm a pacfan, i got marquez close 2nd coz of his fighting style and spirit. his counterpunch is an art.

Boxing started with only 2 fighters willing to fight...and now it evolves to something that needs everything to make a fight and the boxing commission is not doing anything about it. i understand there's promoter and coverage, but now there influence to the fight is overblown, incorporating politics and childish egos. A certain commission should mandate standardization; standard gloves, standard split, standard coverage, etc... and NO.1 should fight NO.2 if they have not fought before, if a team won't follow... then LEAVE BOXING!!! NO ONE SHOULD STAND BETWEEN FIGHTERS WILLING TO FIGHT! if that's the case here in pacmay

Remember when Arum said HBO/SHO agreed to terms two weeks ago? Do you need me to link you to the article?

Or you can just trust Arum's lies blindly.

I don't remember him saying that, he said that Pac agreed to terms.

you can also assume (it's all gossip to us) that one of the fighters changed terms.

why so high?

once again boxing is the butt of all jokes

[Aristocrat]

LOL I've been mentally prepared for this fight to fall through. Everyone else should do the same. Mayweather Cotto 2 baby!!! yeah!!!!

[Pigeons]

Why can't we get the fight that we all want? Why have we had to wait for 6 years without any reward? Why can't these "businessmen" figure out how to split $200M between them? Why are we always left with more questions than answers?

This is getting retarted. We as boxing fans, are getting robbed. Some are even getting robbed blind!

***8220;We***8217;re all done,***8221; Arum told Fight Hub TV and others while in Colorado this week. ***8220;We***8217;ve signed everything, agreed on all the terms. As far as we know, we***8217;ve been told by the highest authority that Mayweather***8217;s people have agreed, that the networks have agreed.
