Been a few years since I been here and I see that people still don't talk about the actual sport of boxing or what happens inside the ring during the actual fight.....
Same old kardashian-esque rumors and speculations that have absolutely nothing to do with the science of pugilism.
SMH.
i guess if u look at it like that but all they are doing is reporting what arum is saying i mean do u think they would just suck ass to mayweather? thats not how it works except on boxing sites
There is just nothing of benefit for CBS to approve of that news story even if they are Arum quotes. That would be like the Democratic party talking about president Obama by using Republican talking points. It makes no sense and is just bad publicity.
My original post offered a question for discussion. I asked if CBS has accepted the fight isn't happening, or are they increasing the pressure. Of course, people would much rather spend their time ignoring the question so they can talk trash instead. But that's expected.
Extra sales push? This isn't a PPV card where he is given a percentage of sales and he is guaranteed a certain purse regardless of attendance.
I didn't say PPV. I meant ticket sales in general. Here in Los Angeles, there are radio stations that are giving away tickets to the first person who calls at a certain time. It's obviously a way to promote Amir Khan as the DJ's barley mention Devon. The winners of the tickets don't even sound very excited when they win.
It's probably one of the reasons why Khan needs to name drop Manny every single interview. He should be name dropping Mayweather only.
actually probably not we would have looked and said this is bs it seems all the childish threads and screen names are manny fans/floyd haters am i wrong?
You not appreciating that CBS himself is using negative promotion for Floyd is not a good reason to call this a childish thread.
I happen to find it interesting that the company Floyd works for has jumped on the media bandwagon that is ostracizing Mayweather for ducking.
This is also the fight in which Manny claimed he was weakened by the bloodtest the night before, which its funny cause if you listen to his post fight interview, Manny doesn't mention anything about feeling weak. Infact manny said he felt strong and perfect for the weight and that the only reason he lost(more like schooled and clowned) was because of the gloves he was forced to wear. He even went as far as saying he would have knocked Morales out if he had worn his gloves:lol1:
Yes. The interviews he did for television after the fight where he does say he believes them taking blood from him was really just an imposter hired by Leonard Ellerbe for a short film that own awards on the student film circuit

"I do what they tell me at @CBSSports." (http://twitter.com/evanhilbert)
what a boss. you're a moron.
Oh.. you mean to tell me that wasn't Les Moonves who posted the blog? Oh boy, what a shocker
About as much money as it would cost to get Mayweather to get in the ring with Pacquiao.... so basically I will continue to watch boxing because you can give me all all the money in the world but if I have to walk with a limp, you can have it all back.
It does CBS absolutely no good whatsoever to report this kind of news. There's no point for him to post this on his website.
The "news" here is that it's actually Mayweather's own boss who is reporting on his blog page what we already know.
If anybody can tell me how this benefits CBS in anyway, I would like to know.
Duh!!! It's so obvious that Chris Algieri would demolish Maidana with one hand tied behind his back.
Maidana has already been defeated by Floyd Mayweather and everybody knows that once a guy loses to Floyd, it is impossible for that fighter who lost to Floyd to ever be able to win a boxing match ever again for all eternity.
another day in the p@c tard fl 0m 0 wars.....

It is the only war that has ever made any sense.
that's your twitter account isnt it. nerd.
Yes. That's me. CBS tells me what to do, and I obey.
CBS told me to report on our web page that our investment is ducking the super fight. When they say jump, I ask how high.
Just cause Floyd is signed to showtime doesn't mean cbs sports has to suck up to him. Dumb thread
You and I both know that if I rearranged the names from Floyd to Manny and CBS to HBO or one of their subsidiary operations you would think it was the most brilliant thread since sliced bread.
Floyd Mayweather using Mexican fighting dates to help sell his PPVs the same way he always drops Pacquiao's name to help him sell PPVs against Victor Ortiz
Manny just countered Floyd's interview with a new list if demands.
1. Top Rank will have exclusive promotional rights.
2. HBO will be the sole broadcaster
3. Mayweather only gets paid for the first 970,000 PPV buys. This is baed on his last Maidana fight. All PPV buys after that exist only because of Manny so all PPV buys after 970,000 go to Manny.
4. The above 3 pretty much how ridiculous and insincere Mayweather's demands are regarding the fight.
No this is just dumb lol. CBS is just quoting arum. So you think cbs shouldn't mention the PAC Floyd fight unless it's in a negative way towards PAC?
Like I said. You of all people would be clicking your heels with joy and delight if the names and networks were reversed.
You're just as much a Floyd fan as I am a Pacquiao fan. I simply cannot accept that you are being objective in anyway whatsoever.
It's funny how a guy that has fought both of them, JMM, seems to have zero respect for Pac and full respect for Floyd.
Why would that be?
JMM has never pursued a rematch with Floyd, yet stalked and harassed Pac for years to give him a rematch.
Why would that be?
JMM has fought Pac about 5 times now but wants no part of Mayweather.
But I'll let the NSB Forum genius' continue to do what they do. I am very entertained.
What I find funny too is that JMM has zero respect for Pac but Floyd has way too much respect for Pac that it has manifested itself into straight up fear.
yin and yang
At this point, anybody who has to ask why Floyd gets mentioned in every Manny post and vice versa might not be able to grasp the Yin Yang concept.
