Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[AgainstTheRopes]

I don't know dude. I hoped he used the interview last night to say something like-" go to shots in an hour or Tuesday". Something definitive. They keep saying it's almost done or close. All that really means is contract isn't signed, it's just a nice way of saying it.

I get Floyd is trying to get more downloads, which means more in his pockets. I get the media is keeping with the updates to keep people checking their Twitter accounts.

Just announce it already. You can't really milk any more out of this.

You can't announce it if It isn't finished as he and some other places are saying.

It needs to be done this week. Floyd needs to come through for his fans.

You watched the "Manny" documentary i take it.

From a poor kid living in the mountains in a 3rd world country to fighter of the decade and considerer widely to be the best of this generation, manny sure came a long way.

Hell, he even learned a second language. Although barely.

Glad you floyd fans can appreciate pac being the inspirational figure that he is

I think if the contract is agreed to, just announce already. It's just tiring that everyone involved lies or gives half truths every time they speak to the press.

You literally can't believe anything you read.

I really hope Pac waits him out....Pac, unlike Floyd, is only contracted to HBO for ppvs for a period of time if he fights during that period...Floyd is contract for a specific number of fights with Showtime so he is obligated to make fights and is under contract, i.e. NOT his own boss at this time. Pac can wait around until Showtime forces Floyd to make the fight or make another fight at which time everyone on the Pac side will be vindicated...Pac has no urgency to make another fight anytime soon...

widely=you and a few Pac fans on NSB. Can we use a term that better describes that group.

But yeah, his journey is odds defying and deserves respect.

Ok.. let me rephrase.

"Considered widely as the best of this generation although floyd fans disagree.."

Happy?

What? Mayweather is aging too, fact is he is 2 years older than Pacquiao... and it's true that once you age you start to slow down and lose your athleticism, it ain't rocket scientist to know that.

So you're saying Pacquiao is over the hill cause hes aged and slow down while Mayweather hasn't (and he's older than Pacquiao by two years?)

You dumb as **** mate. You must be a Filipino or a Hispanic Pact*rd fan.

both being older would benefit floyd more. Pac uses constant moving in and out while throwing a bunch of punches while floyd sits there on his philly shell twisting left and right dodging punches. Stylistic wise, it would benefit floyd more.

feels a lot like haymon/mayweather are just trying to drag this out until top rank etc is forced to walk away ...

That is probably right. If Top Rank is confident that Pacquiao can win, they should back off and let it happen on Mayweathers terms. They know once Pacquiao loses to Mayweather, Mayweather haters who buy his ppv will be like On to the next one, They want to milk as much as they can out of Pacquiao. They only have 2 choices. Mayweather vs Pacquiao, and Marquez vs Pacquiao 5. There is a better chance of seeing Mayweather vs Pacquiao because Marquez closed the chapter with the vicious Right Hand. A perfect way to close that chapter. Why would Marquez make a 5th fight, people might forget that KO if he were to lose to Manny. He does not want to risk that. Manny and his team need to accept Mayweathers terms. If they are confident Manny can beat him, they should just agree.

Floyd is older
