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

[FrankieClutch]

HBO has a partnership with ESPN so if they produce the documentary it would be slanted one way.

If any objective, independent entity produced a documentary on the lack of this fight happeneing, it would most surely place equal blame on both fighters, unless they uncovered evidence that squarely placed blame on one camp.

I for one want to now if the email that Atlas and Tim Smith swear they saw was in fact true. I would also love it if they had a recording of the $40 mil, no ppv offer conversation.

That might be true. I would love for some kind of documentary to come out some years down the road; an unbiased one of course.

I don't think Arum cared about a stadium. He didn't want the fight.

the biggest fights nowadays are almost always in vegas casinos, not large stadiums.

Because even with less in attendance, they can still outbid larger stadiums. They make so much $$$ from the "high-rollers" and degenerate gamblers.

Now for the biggest money fight ever, Arum decides he wants something different?

Wow, that is enlightening. I literally had no idea that would be the case. Uncle Bob was ****ing up smh

[FrankieClutch]

and of course, this thread became like the 800 other threads about the negotiations with the same people saying the same **** for the past 4 years

Yeah, that's not what I wanted but it happened anyway smh

Floyd offered $40m PERIOD! No back end and no PPV $ that's why Pac turned it down.

[straightleft]

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.

Floyd has no right to demand against 8 divisions champ and Fighter of the Decade Pacquiao by that time when his only best wins were against Oscar, Hatton, Mosley and Cotto while we know pretty much Pac made them like a bum against him. Oh I almost forgot. Pac has Nike, HP, Hennessy, etc.. while your boy was selling a cheap lottery soda.

Countless peps would say Floyd wanted none of Packy even Floyd own dad. It would be the first time in history that a fighter would say his health come first. AquaMan laughed so had he drowned the next day.

Floyd walked away from both negotiations after Pacquiao made a counteroffer

First one was OSDT. Pacquiao countered with a 2 week before the fight limit and a post fight drug test. Floyd walked away

2nd one was $40 million with no PPV. This is a huge slap in the face and team Pacquiao countered with $50 million guaranteed and 55% of the PPV to the winner and 45% to the loser. Floyd walked away

And if Floyd wouldn't even allow himself to be in the Fight Night games, I don't think he'll let himself be on 30 for 30.

The real way to do this would be a fan made video like a documentary. Would you really want to watch a video about this with Fat Dan and Teddy Atlas doing interviews? No way

Do you realize how ****** you sound? Both sides of a fight have demands, that's the way negotiating works. And you're basing Pac's negotiating power on his endorsement with Hennessy...ok got ya

If you want to be a successful pact4rd, at least get basic facts right. Pacquiao did not agree to the 14 day window proposed by Floyd to meet the 30 day window Pacquiao demanded half way. Source for the ridiculous $50m guarentee negotiation? Or was that from one of Pac's numerous "counter offers to Floyd" to the media - and ironically always said during the promotional period of one of his already scheduled fights.

Pacquiao says he would now be willing to take a blood test 14 days ahead of any fight with his American rival. This was after the fact. Not during negotiations.
