Anyone have any predictions as to when it will end, or what will have to happen to it in order to end? Personally, I think once Manny and Floyd are both retired is when the cold war will end. What do you guys think?

When will the Cold War end?

yup...when both PAC and Floyd retire and they're scrambling to make fights...eventually they'll have to work with each other again

Haymon and Scaheffer are starting their own group, and TR fighters will continue to be TR fighters even when Arum leaves. More money to split that way.
If Pac/Floyd can't build bridges, then no fight can. Unless of course, there's some random fight that takes place sometime in the future between both promtions, and the fire gets lit from there, but I doubt it. Mares/Donaire was the best chance of that happening.

For now, each side has trump cards in Pac and Floyd.

there's gonna come a point that making a cross promotional fight would equal just a wee bit more money than an in-house fight...that's when the 'thawing' begins
then 10 years later when both are working freely with each other again, they'll look back at how bad they ****ed up the megafight everyone wanted

I know right. They'll both be kicking themselves in the ass.

When the status quo changes.
It could change in any number of ways including but not limited to, a new star emerges, a third promotional group gains some power, HBO decides to talk to GBP again, Showtime decides to talk to Top Rank, a couple important guys unexpectedly fall off the face of the Earth for one side, or things turn south for one side financially.
I don't think either side thinks they are losing and even if they do think that they certainly aren't in the throw in the towel mode at the moment.
