Floyd Mayweather hints he will face Manny Pacquiao!

Floyd is probably hinting at fighting Matt Hatton in the UK....

Make it happen.........

If the Mayweathers really issued an apology statement, I think it would make negotiations much easier. It would make Arum accept a 55/45 split, and quiet the critics about him ducking Manny. It would also get Manny's camp to drop the lawsuit. Also, I think it would show class and respect for the sport. I think they feel that the best way to sell the fight is with negative publicity. The same ol 24/7 show villain-type deal. But showing class and respect would earn them a bigger fanbase and quiet the critics. Make it happen! I agree it would make things easier, But at the same time I think what makes this fight so big is the dislike between the fighters and the two sets of fans. Floyd has said some things (nothing compared to Floyd Sr and Roger) about Pacquiao but Pacquiao and Roach and Arum have also had alot about Floyd. So it goes both ways. I dont think Pacquiao's lawsuit was ever going to get him anywhere anyway. Pacquiao said "He damaged by credibility by requesting the drug testing and now people are wondering if all my success if from taking drugs". But he damaged his own credibility by refusing the testing, Im sick of saying this but had he just agreed to it to begin with. Nobody would have suspected him of anything. Having said that, I'm not too bothered about this anymore and hope they just find a way to make the fight happen for the fans.

Undefeated American boxer and Yahoo Sports' pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather, Jr (41-0) gave the biggest hint yet that a super-fight with Filipino boxer and Ring Magazine's pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao (51-3-2) will be made in November of this year. Together with rapper 50 Cent, Mayweather disclosed a rap album compilation project that he is working on together with the New York-based rapper, in a recent interview with MTV News. 50 Cent stated that the hip hop album will be released later this year, around the same timeframe of the biggest fight in boxing history. With that statement, Mayweather chimed in, affirming that the end of the year bout would indeed be the biggest fight in the history of the sport. The two suggested that by promoting the album around the same timeframe of the superfight, that the massive publicity from boxing would help increase hype - and sales - of the hip hop compilation. Neither 50 Cent nor Floyd Mayweather would provide any additional details about the album. The boxer's comment regarding "the biggest fight in the history of the sport" prompted 50 Cent to joke that the two would make so much money they would have to bring in trucks in order to load piles of cash. Based on Mayweather's comments, we view the following regarding the highly anticipated bout (these are opinions): 1. That both camps intend to make the Mayweather-Pacquiao showdown happen this year. 2. Both camps are waiting for an opportune time to make the fight announcement, perhaps sometime after July and before the end of August. Juan Manuel Marquez (50-5-1) is set to fight Juan Diaz (35-3) on July 31st, and the NFL season kicks off around the end of August. An August announcement would give Pacquiao time to take a break from his congressional duties in the Philippines, and give both camps enough time to make promotional tours around the U.S. 3. Any prior disagreements on principle have been patched up, or close to becoming patched up, such as the issue surrounding blood testing and Pacquiao's lawsuit against Mayweather's camp and Golden Boy Promotions. At the post-fight conference after the Mayweather vs Shane Mosley fight last May 1st, Mayweather stated that he has nothing bad to say about Manny Pacquiao, and that his family never had any bad intentions against the Filipino. This softened stance may indicate that for the sake of making the showdown happen, Mayweather may - just perhaps - issue an apologetic statement in exchange for the dropping of the lawsuits. http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-37982-International-Sports-Examiner~y2010m6d18-Floyd-Mayweather-hints-he-will-fight-Manny-Pacquiao Thanks for the thread but is there a video of this somewhere? I would like to see a video if it exists... Excuse my ignorance. The video is in the link :fing02:

Floyd has been hinting for a long time, BUT! He also hinted Martinez after topping the elderly Mosley. But when it comes down to it, what happens? Exactly!

The examiner isn't a real reliable source. Won't believe it until an OFFICIAL statement is made.
