u should care about this and u should get involved also mr prez....u will make a very significant amout of money in it...

[IMDAZED]

That's the right approach. Not like there's anything he can do about it, really.

[Bushbaby]

That's a very good attitude. But also HBO stepped up once & the fans cried. HBO needs to not put their marketing push behind any bull***** fight. Just like they did for Pacman-Mosley. Canelo-Floyd is another example. Those are 2 horrible matchups.

If they're not gonna fight, give them a short list of worthy opponents. Martinez should be highest for either fighter. Cotto & Bradley, but not much else.

He needs to have bigger vision...I mean, these fighters are just sapping $ from HBO by fighting others.

they arent sapping anything. thats stupidity. they make hbo plenty of money because casuals pay to see them fight. that doesnt sap money. tat makes money. floyd and manny will probably always have a place at hbo i some capacity if they wanted it, just like dlh before the,

Boxing will live on whether they fight or not. **** all that money talk bullshi.t. What they are doing is preparing for a life without them fighting and everyone else should follow suit. Its not happening and Mayweather did everything much better than Manny. Case closed.

Its not only been dragged on far too long & should have happened already, its also holding up the boxing line up for all the top fighters in & around WW because they're all waiting to see if, sorry when, this fight doesn't get made, whether theyll get a shot at either fighter. Cotto, Bradley, Marquez, Peterson, Khan, Alvarez are just a few affected directly or indirectly on which match up could be made next. Thsi is just frustrating us fans

Yeah yeah whatever. It would benefit him if they don't fight each other yet. They will have 2-3 huge ppv this year.

You dudes talking about not promoting Floyd and manny fights when in reality those fights make money so yall can get epic mis matches like Gamboa and rios and a action pack fight like Hopkins and Dawson.

Floyd needs to stop with the stunts though.

Like showing his trunks saying he had them prepared for Pacquiao

or calling the guy on the phone with no intention of a serious offer.

Dude, just tell your fans you got no intention, they all think you would have beaten Pac anyway.

The Floyd fans passionately rallied around Floyd with his early 2012 twitter stunt, then he stabbed them in the back the last minute. I dont like *****s, but they should atleast be treated better than that.

The least Floyd could do is respect the people who were hugging on his nuts for the past 3 years
