Maine Events giving Floyd a deadline

Gatti, Harris, Cotto, Tszyu, they're all going down to Mayweather

It will happen and Gatti is going down. Also cotto would not kill Floyd, lets see how he does against chop chop first. He would be taking a huge jump up in competition to fight him.

Man they must still be in pretty good shape since neither one of them had much of a fight these last 2 week. If Mainevents is so worried about floyd's legal problems why not make the fight for next month since they both probably put on some weight, plus I don't think it takes 5 months to get in shape since you just had a fight last week, then we would know if they are scared of floyd or if they really give a crap about his personal life.

ve already made a thread about this Oh really I didn't know

i dont think gatti is scared of mayweather. there are other fights out there that gatti can take without having to wait for mayweather. its like he said he is going fill the seats not mayweather. That Gatti can fill the seats stuff is bull shit. He never filled the seats until the last couple of years and why is that? because he has every fight on the board walk in his home town. If he went out West or down South he wouldnt fill the seats

Main Events Gives Floyd Mayweather Deadline Of End Of This Week 02/02/05- Main Events, the New Jersey promotional company representing Gatti, has set an end-of-week deadline for Mayweather to resolve the legal problem or scuttle the proposed June 11 pay-per-view fight, according to Mayweather's promoter Bob Arum. Jury selection is scheduled Feb. 25 at Grand Rapids District Court. Talks will cease if Mayweather follows that schedule, according to Carl Moretti, Main Events' vice president of boxing operations. "Our time frame is dictated by what they do," Moretti said. "But if we just knew what they had planned and what their schedule is, if we knew when they were going to enter a plea, or if we knew they weren't going to enter a plea, that would help a lot." Moretti said negotiations absolutely could not extend beyond next week, given the advance promotion time necessary for a pay-per-view telecast. But Arum said Main Events attorney Pat English set the deadline at this week. "As far as Main Events is concerned, Mayweather caused this by missing his trial in December," Arum said. "Their position is they'll start looking at other fighters for June 11 if Mayweather isn't available by the end of the week. "My position is different. If the legal situation is cleared up by the beginning of March, we're OK. But I don't represent their fighter and I understand their position." -www.rabbitpunchboxing.com Ive already made a thread about this

Mayweather in a casket? that might be going to extremes. I think it would be a good fight. :cool: "You play basketball, you play hockey, you play football, you play baseball -- you don't play boxing. This ain't no game."- James Toney i just thought that this was a SICK ass quote from toney

If you want Mayweather in a casket :cool:, and it will happen too, this is why Cotto is facing Chop Chop. Mayweather in a casket? that might be going to extremes. I think it would be a good fight. :cool:

Tszyu will demolish Gatti.

Champ-Tszyu 1-Gatti 2-Harris 3-Mayweather 4-Mitchel 5-Cotto 6-Hatton 7-Corley 8-Ndou 9-Leija 10-Urkal The only clear cut victory for Gatti in this list is the guy he just fought...he is running out of opponents he can beat. I think Corley, Ndou and Urkal all could beat Gatti...they would be close fights but I give them a good shot. Everyone else on this list would kick Gatti's ass. I love Arturo but he is not a great fighter and never was...he is an exciting fighter, maybe the most exciting I have ever seen. This deadline shit is wierd, does main events want to start the fight promotion tommorrow? If PBF is out then who is his next opponent? Ill bet you it is no one in the top 6 or 7...Ndou maybe a guy they would look at but then again too me that fight would be a u pickem. Chances are Gatti's next opponent is not even ranked by the ring...it is smart business to be careful with Gatti for as long as you like...he can sell out at will and he can't beat a top guy...why risk it? My money is on Gatti fighting a couple of fringe contenders in the coming year.

fuk that...let's see Gatti-Cotto! Nah, how about Cotto-Mayweather? :cool:

man i dont know that is one person that probably makes gatti think twice about a fight. if he did fight harris that would be a big fight too so it doesnt really matter. i would like to see gatti zoo. but i dont know if that fight would be made this soon.

If this fight doesn't happen do you think we will see Gatti dodge Tzsyu and take on Harris?

true but i dont think that he is scared enough to make up an excuse to not fight mayweather. he can fight someone else and still get paid and then mayweather's legal issues will be over. gatti doesnt come off to me like a guy that is scared of anyone. he might want to stay active and get paid. i would think that

i dont think gatti is scared of mayweather. there are other fights out there that gatti can take without having to wait for mayweather. its like he said he is going fill the seats not mayweather. Gatti might be scared because he relizes that he is going up against a better overall boxer.

I think they would definately postpone the deadline for a big PPV fight.

I wonder if this deadline is really legitimate though because sometimes theses deadlines are phony and they extend them.

Looks like a way to get out of the fight to me. Gatti's people are running scared.
