They're doing a good job with promoting the fight

exactly. but im glad they keep promoting it! the more buzz, the better.....but hopefully they don't overhype it to the point where anything that happens on march 13 will just be a disappointment.

Seems like they are promoting the fight keeping it on the front page as much as possible, just look at this forum about 1k people viewing on a Tuesday night. It's really unheard of all the time I've been here. Yahoo front page Espn talking about venue/drug testing These fukking promoters are just milking it for all it's worth.

yeah it is for promotional purposes. if you remember, pac already agreed to olympic testing. what's being argued, i believe, is the amount, and how soon before the fight. yes it's for both fighters, but pac is more active and requires more stamina. mayweather has excellent stamina as well, but his output isn't that high and he doesn't solely depend on that. so i guess you can say he's more versatile, but come on. think about it. pac's whole style is based out his workrate. mayweather is trying to take that away.

I'd like to think this a promotional ploy, but don't they have to make the fight official soon? The press conference is in two weeks.

It's their strategy to hype this mega fight. Manny is too polite to trash stalk with Floyd, and hype the fans, so they came up with this story. Excellent strategy

the fight will happen...but I must admit it is pretty fun seeing how the pactards are reacting though.

Kinda of agree, Richard Schaefer has not said much this whole time then all of sudden comes out today, also Mayweather has not said a word the whole time about negotiations, but does today in a group statement with Schaefer.
