Let's say in ~15 years ESPN does a 30 for 30 on Pacquiao and Mayweather...

[fighter1234]

ESPN will have a hard time making Mayweather look like he wanted the fight, because when all is said and done Pacquiao eventually agreed to Mayweather's demands, and the fight still hasn't happened.

You can't agree to contractual demands that were written 3-4 years prior. Times change, he should've agreed to them in 2009. Period.

An interrview with the mediator would be awesome. Didnt he out Arum for lying?

[A For Honest]

Does Pacquiao and co. regret not accepting testing when it was initially asked?

Did Floyd really want to fight or did he only ask for the test because he truly felt Manny was using and that when found guilty, that would give him probable cause to never fight him, as the satisfaction of exposing him would be enough?

What if Manny wasn't using and pass the tests? Would Floyd have fought him?

^That point drives me crazy; yeah he agreed a while later after things changed. I would like to know what was discussed the 2nd go round which was the last time I realistically thought the fight was going to happen after that I gave up hope.

A televised sit down with the two of them would be very interesting, seeing as how they've never actually met each other in person.

Times haven't changed that much, Pacquiao is still the second biggest draw in boxing, and most of the fans still want to see the fight.

As far as live gate numbers and PPV buys they have changed drastically; they was neck and neck when the 1st negoitated; Manny got bamboozled into taking the Clottey fight with did 700k while Floyd went on to fight Shane which did 1.4 mil that alone changed how it was going to be from there on out it was no more 50-50 after that.

I can fill you in on that:
.Mayweather is sentenced to Jail in May 2012
.Pacquiao calls out Mayweather for a fight in May
.Mayweather's sentenced is pushed back to June, calls out Pacquiao for May 5
.Arum says Pacquiao can't fight in May due to a cut that will need over 6 months to heal + an imaginary stadium that needs to be built.

Those would be great questions and revelations. I would also like to know if Floyd would've kept negotiating like how Ariza said with the whole $40 million thing or if that was his only offer when Pacquiao said "50-50" and got off the phone when Floyd didn't agree.

In 15yrs both will be cherrypicking fights but on ESPN
