Just because Floyd hasn't, doesn't mean Manny hasnt. Floyd is looking for a way out again. And you and every other Floyd Stan will eat it up and regurgitate it daily.

Please stop it with the small minded BS. It way more complicated then "Floyd dose not want to fight". You got a **** ton of money and every one trying to get the best results for them self's. On top of that all these guys have burned each other for big money in the past, so nobody want to play nice.
This fight is damn near impossible to make and no one person is going to be the blame if it falls through so cut it out with that low level let's find a scapegoat type of thinking.

Thats ****ed up on HBO's part. We finally get Arum, Knocz and Manny to act like adults, sit down, shut the **** up and start talking and HBO pulls this ****. HBO STFU so this fight can happen! They are purposefully trying to crash this fight. I just wish i knew why.

The more pressure hbo/top rank puts on ShowTime and mayweather the better. Being pressured is not an excuse to avoid this fight. The fans will be outraged, and HBO is simply letting it be known they want the fight, and mayweather and his team should be doing the same because where it stands now, mayweather really doesn't even seem interested in the fight at all, and Espinoza is trying to do damage control because he cant convince duckweather to fight pacquiao. It was really clear to me after cotto dragged out the canelo negotiations and priced himself out that Floyd wanted to fight cotto. It was even more clear when Espinoza said recently that cotto and khan were also both really good options. That was even before arum and co. Were talking about plan b. Mayweather said right before pacquiao algieri that he would rather fight two bums than to fight Manny pacquiao.

"The two principles need to come to terms"....hmmm...so Espinoza is a lying piece of **** and there is not even an agreement between Manny and Floyd on terms yet.....Its not the network, is what this sounds like to me...HBO now , as predicted, seeing this thing fall apart they are not going to take the blame and are striking back before the blame game goes into full defcon 3

lol how do we know that? they don't say anything about an agreement with showtime and Espinoza hasn't lied he said there are still issues.

At this point I dont believe what anyone says.

Arum has been telling everyone that everything has been agreed to (including the networks which clearly isnt the case) and is just awaiting Mayweather to sign it off. Koncz, Pacquiao, and Mayweather spoke last week and based on what Koncz told everyone the only issue Mayweather had was over the commentators and the behind the scenes 24-7 All-Access. Koncz then said he talk with Arum who assured him that's been settled (once again clearly not the case).

They didn't say anything to hurt the fight. All they're saying is that they too want to make the fight happen and that they and Showtime just need to work out an agreement. How anyone read anything else other than that is beyond me. And I doubt Mayweather, Pacquiao & co. are gonna catch feelings over this.

Have you not been keeping up with the news the past few days. Floyd has specifically requested that the negotiations be kept out of the public.
Every in the last few days has been doing so.
Now all of a sudden HBO wants to open there mouths. I am not even going to pretend to know what all is happening with negotiations but safe to assume that they are not complete as a fight has not been announced. Until it is announced every one needs to follows Koncs new found wisdom and shut the **** up.
Letting out this short sentence just opens the door for all these edgy businessmen to now go down the same rabbit whole when been in for the last five years of the HE said SHE said bull****.
Instead of wasted time putting out short statements that really don't say anything other then 'It's not my fault' they should all just be quiet and get the work done.

Yeah I agree but it's only fair that HBO say their piece too since everyone else has. Plus, they didn't spill any piece about negotiations. If they're going to say something, this is what I would like to hear: we're not blocking the fight, both parties need to come to an agreement. And that's what they did. No harm, no foul.

HBO didnt just come out of the blue. Several writers have speculated whether or not HBO wants the fight now or to wait a year when they dont have to deal with Showtime. Its clearly a response to that.

Uggh you again. You have no real arguments and you are too young to try to converse with in any real manner. You are not out to debate, talk, or learn you out to get a reaction and that it. Here is my finally reaction. All that bull***** you posted is pretty much the same **** that has been tried over and over again. <--- You see this guy... yea that's what has been happening for the past 5 years. So how but they stop practicing insanity and you stop cheering them on for ****ing their head against the wall so they can try something new that just might work.
