It's all a bit of a charade. I keep asking why Floyd would have his team negotiate for a month if he wasn't going to sign. Why would Top Rank organise a midnight press conference to tell the world there is no fight.
You don't negotiate a $40m fight for a month and then back out. You don't call up the boxing press to tell them, at midnight Friday night, that the biggest fight in boxing is dead, and to come back next year... er but in the mean time we've got this guy who got busted loading his gloves, and another fellow who got knocked out last November. Doesn't work like that.
To me it looks like it's all part of the hype machine to promote May-vs-Pac. If there is no May-Pacquiao fight on November 14, yet all this bullshit with deadlines, clocks and press conferences is going ahead anyhow, a lot of people are going to look pretty stupid.
On the balance of probabilities, I'm tipping a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight this year.
ANyone got a stream for the live presser??
This feels like the LeBron decision day :boxing: :luvbed:
