Pretty certain that the fight will be made this coming week and announced by next weekend, around the same kinda time that floyd announces his may fights anyway.

I dont even think Floyd has a backup plan, well i havnt heard anything in the press whereas Paquaios team have mentoned Vargas and Khan

What does this mean?... "They (i.e. the fighters) also agreed on ... the gloves"?
... I'll reiterate: in case Pac agreed to use the Mickey Mouse foam padded gloves instead of his usual Cleto Reyes, then I'll not wake up early in the morning for the "live show" and, instead, I'll take a good sleep and watch the recorded fight on the YouTube, in the afternoon EET.

I do speak on my behalf only -- don't turn me into a "collective character"...

(I used to be a long time regular Floyd's fan until the "gloves gate"... In addition to this: I'm among the very few here who didn't have Bradley losing the first fight...)

The other day HBO said the principle sources are the ones that can make this a done deal. Floyd fans of course said that there are 4 principles but I read it and it clearly meant to say that it was Floyd and Manny since HBO said it has done what they can from their side and the below confirms this.

This quote stated here is consistent with the other days announcement by HBO that its now up to Floyd and Manny to come to an agreement. Remember that Floyd has been said to be putting his nose in the Networks deal as well. So until Floyd gives his final seal of approval, the networks can't really say that it is completely a done deal even though between them, it may be academic at this point and can call it a done deal.

Floyd can still want something else from the Networks deal plus he can come back with new demands for Manny.

"HBO Sports President Ken hershman says his network has done everything possible to make the fight happen and now it was up to the principles, Mayweather and Pacquiao, to reach a FULL agreement."

He carries up to 100 grand in cash with him. ******ity for sure, but makes 6 bodyguards a necessity.

******ity and Floyd Mayweather are not mutually exclusive concepts.

dude, I know you are one of the most notorious pac fringe fans on NSB. you have to stop it. Everyone is pointing toward ARum's actions being an impediment to the fight.

We know you want desperately for it to be Floyd's fault this fight hasn't happened. At some point, with literally every unbiased media report indicating arum is lying about things and doing so derails the fight, it's time posters like you just accept the truth you've been denying for far too long.

Even a lot of the rest of the diehard pac fans like yourself are acknowledging the truth. Only you and a few truly irrational ones are holding on.

How about you join the rest of us.

Sorry but you are going by sources which the other day you Floyd fans said "who are these anonomous sources" and laughed. Now you are contradicting yourselves.

Not just Arum but HBO officially stated the same.

Nobody is saying that the Networks is a done deal even though they may have agreed on all the major points. There is a reason for that. Floyd can always come back and put another demand. You are smart enough to realize that and that is what HBO and Arum are saying!!!
