Looks Like The Boxing Fan Getting Tricked Again - Pacquiao vs Floyd Will Never Happen

How are boxing fans getting fooled AGAIN? The fight isn't ever going to happen. Once TR and GBP figured they could play us for suckers and namedropping Mayweather and Pacquiao every other week, it's worked like a charm and have kept the collective divisions at each other's throats arguing over the fight. Win-Win for them against In-House opposition. Even without the snakes making fools out of fans, there are too many reasons the fight won't happen. - Mayweather and Manny are already rich. - Rival Networks - Arum has ties with HBO/HBO Blacklisted GBP - Promoter Beef (Delahoya/Mayweather won't be putting money in Arum's pockets any time soon) - They are even bigger divas then back in 2009. Even after Pacquiao struggled with Marquez he was still demanding 50/50, and Mayweather all of the PPV haha I hate to be the dark cloud here but can we please just stop? Is this actually fun for people in here?

Floyd vs Manny is the trick... They are going to tell us Manny still has it... Manny is still dangerous... Manny can end it with one punch... Manny can still give Floyd problems. He can't. I love Manny. Legacy wise, he is far greater than Floyd could ever dream of being, but the dude is a 35 year old fighter who has made a career out of relying on his physical gifts. How old were all the other fighter that relied on their physical gifts when they got old? Roy Jones was 33-34 Pernell Whitaker 33 Roberto Duran 32 Ray Leonard 32 Marvin Hagler 32 Julio Cesar Chavez 32-33 Pacquiao has been on the slide since he was ~32... I don't think its a coincidence.

I agree people keep clamoring for a fight thats not going to happen; I'm over it if it happens fine I will be there. Honestly both sides have a less of reason to take the fight now than before. You really think Arum wants to give into every Mayweather demand; or Floyd to give Manny more of a cut than he has to give anybody else. Both sides take 50% of the blame.

That's true. The only thing that sucks though Holywarrior that both sides have so many people defending them that they don't need to even need to do anything. Let the fanboys speak for the guilty parties You know it's bad when fanboys start to laugh at a fighter's financial problems. WTF I thought this was a boxing forum.

Golden boy fan boys vs Top Rank fanboys Schaefer fan boys vs Arum fan boys Showtime fan boys vs HBO fan boys Mayweather fan boys vs Pacquiao fan boys IRS fan boys vs Phillipines IRS fan boys WTF is this crap?? The way the posters and fans defend all the above is what makes 70% of the threads on here. I hope Mayweather and Pacquiao finally fight by 2014 if not then it's more of this fan boy drama What makes fanboy drama in 2014 any different than fanboy drama now or years before? Both sides are to blame

HBO ratings have been soaring high. HBO is still the King. They have the money. Many GBP fighters are on a long vacation right now. I rarely see Bernstein and Co. now. haha... Who is Floyd's next fight again? :D Showtime is having headache where to come up with truckloads of money to fund Floyd fights. haha... That's what they got themselves into. :lol1: Show me a link where Showtime lost money. Too bad it's Showtime putting on the 2 biggest cards at the end of the year huh :wave:

What does FOTY fights have to do with being broke? HBO has more bum fighters like Rios and Alvarado HBO ratings have been soaring high. HBO is still the King. They have the money.

HBO has been giving fans weekly FOTY fights. I can't even remember SHO's last fight. Are they broke or what? Where are they? They spend too much money on Floyd's PPV fights without making a profit. What does FOTY fights have to do with being broke? HBO has more bum fighters like Rios and Alvarado

Thank you. These people don't know what the hell they're talking about. It scares me to think about how long people in here have been watching boxing for. I bet a lot in here don't even have HBO/SHowtime

They're amateurs compared to HBO/Arum. SHO/GBP spend too much money on promotion, undercards, not to mention Floyd. That's why HBO let Mayweather go without so much fuss.

Youre not serious? They just broke the gate record in Vegas. Showtime is fine. It's not like they are a high budget channel either. Most of the cheap guys in here don't even have it.

Showtime/GBP are running out of options for Floyd. They're clearly not making any money from his fights. They're too expensive to make. Who is he going to fight to attract the number of fans they need just to recoup their investment? Remember, fans watch to see him lose. You just can't throw anybody there with him. Showtime/GBP are in a dilemma right now. Youre not serious? They just broke the gate record in Vegas. Showtime is fine. It's not like they are a high budget channel either.
