Can't wait for this fight.. Pac speed is still faster than Maidana even at this point. And Pac will throw combos. Floyd will try to time and counterpunch .. haven't been this excited for May in a long time..
That interviewer asked him some tough questions. Wish there was more follow-up but I love the candor. You can see where Espinoza is being diplomatic and where he's being candid.
Chris Mannix is a hardcore boxing fan, which makes him being a sports journalist covering boxing that much better.
wow that is really annoying! Imagine Peterson losing to Mattysse at 141 & Garcia at 143 but still champ at 140 lol. This fight is no longer that important without the belts on the line.
Exactly, this fight is late, but given this being a haymon fight...I'll take it...just no more TBA's
Its funny how the fight might finally be happening and all you guys are doing is arguing and hating on eachother .
Whoever wins will win smh its boxing, stop with the p@ctard and fl0wm0 shxt its annoying AF this is boxing , have some respect for each fighter

Stop arguing with eachother like btchy gossip girls lmao
Couldn't agree with you more. Tired of the bickering and excuses if one loses. Enjoy this EVENT for what it's worth. We may not see an anticipated fight like this again for a very long time.
Hell yeah..It's happening. Floyd and Pac both should both announce it on Twitter and Instagram. Social media touches the world faster than TV these days. Screw a football game.. boxing events like this are 100 times greater in anticipation than a superbowl.
According to Bob Arum
In Dan's report , Carl Morretti confirmed it. He's the future of top rank and by all accounts he's on the up and up.
If somehow floyd gets out of this fight.. what then? Huge huge gut punch to us fans.
Wonder what they will call the fight if it gets made, gotta be something better than 'The One'. The trailers and build up will be amaaazing.
Now or Never?
Or
IT'S TIME?
Quillin vs Jacobs vs Jermain Taylor for eternity. Only those three will ever hold the TRUE Lineal Al Haymon Belt!
Yep this is why I hope that this whole scenario isn't true. Yes boxing needs stronger universal rules, but with this one stop shop thing is a joke.
We'll see how it will all play out soon...
Read the interview earlier today and thought the same thing.
When the interviewer actual knows the sport and isn't afraid to ask the questions, you can really get some great info.
I honestly feel that journalist like Chris are a rare breed these days. He covers other sports like a true professional as he does boxing. Reading some of these solely boxing writers who seem to have come straight from a blog, just don't measure. Like they don't pay the dues to be a part of a real journalist. Instead they make.friends in the industry and bash on everyone outside of that. Just a mean girls club masquerading as writers demanding thier.press passes.
Sorry, need to hear both sides. Moretti has a boss and his nickname is liar.
Just sad, instead of us just being excited, we are all waiting for the chair to be kicked out from under us...
Would have to be lampley, Bernstein no doubt. Then I would add Malignaggi and Kellerman as the corner reporters... They can have a say during the breaks.
I doubt it. Once the bell rings, it's business as usual.
Reason I ask that was listening to players interviews about the superbowl even if experiencing before came.out slow.. took a few minutes to get back into the swing. I hope this would not lead to a fast ko..
Damn, so the whole HBO/SHO standstill on the split PPV and rebroadcast negotiation has been agreed to for sometime? I was under the impression that it was the reason why Floyd couldn't agree publicly.
If this is true and either Floyd or Al are holding this thing up, wow.. sad. Even over a hundred million to them isn't enough?
they need to drop robbie he is poor, agree with you on beeb. what happened to vic and james, vic keeps it real
I like Robbie,he just gets no respect. Think James and Vic are busy putting in their work.
I enjoy the fight doctor, wood, qb, maniac , king Jay, etc
Tough decision, let wilder fight Fury or go.for the cash grab in Wlad. **** I'm pretty sure Vitali would come out of.retirement to get a shot at Deontay.
Off topic but did any of you get followed by a snitch nes Twitter account about a month ago? They had paperwork with nes government name indicating he was moving drugs and in turn snitched on everyone. Was weird.
He never moved back he was always living in that town home with his mom, he did a lot of demo and fight break downs.
He was like 40 years old and trying to audition for American Idol 5 or 7 years ago, someone had to tell him the age limit was 30.
Wow....speechless
Lol, poor Rob. I thought he was a teenager when I first heard him that still needed to go through puberty. Then he corrected a caller he thought the same thing and said he's been watching boxing since the 60's. He calls in on the Steve Kim show every week.
The man loves boxing...
It's never good to display these personal family issues via social media. Unfortunately millions fall into this trap. All I can say is I wish the Mosley's nothing, but the best. I know Shane has a new Lady( she's BAD as hell too), but Kinda has children with him. Don't let the public see these outburst
Jin is shady, sad that the laws have given her the opportunity to take as much as she's been granted. In the long run she'll pay.
They both were at fault last.night.. Nes seemed piss from the beginning once Joe came.on. maybe because he was late to the show. Nes started the name calling,from then it just escalated.
They both make the show entertaining,and I liked them both going at it..they have passion for the sport..
I went out and watched the maidana 2 fight at a bar,but I did order the prior one. Just as I did both Pac fights. Every time I say I won't I have, just a junkie.. however this time I won't. I'll make plans for a babysitter and the wife and I will go drinking or catch a flick..
Being free to control your own destiny is a pretty good position to be in. Pretty sure that Timothy Bradley is a pretty terrible example to hold up.
Sign the contract with a company, take the in-house fights, have your promoter openly trash you following the biggest victory of your career, have the media turn on you, get a massive payday to fight leftovers, and be left with no real other big fights to consider going forward.
Bradley fought Diego Chaves in a nothing fight, and, at best, is looking at another nothing fight against the Rios/Alvarado 3 winner (likely for the WBO title if Pacquiao moves down), before looking at just rematches or going from a feather-fisted welterweight to being a feather-fisted 154.
how is that smart?
He's gonna get a shot against either Cotto or Canelo too.
I think Beebs is a spoiled brat type, I remember his old channel and he said he was 42 and he still lived in his mothers basement he was doing boxing videos shirtless lol demonstrating how to break down fights.
He comes off spoiled or babied he probably argued with his parents a lot as a kid and threw tantrums.
He prolonged a useless argument and it all started over Nes text message?
But Beebs saying that Nes barely started watching boxing was messed up. They had callers on the line and Nes was trying to get them on and had to mute Beeb and beeb probably Bit his phone and slammed his mic when he got blocked by Nes lol, Beeb probably had one of these tantrums.
Lol you serious? Taking off shirt to demonstrate??!
On.the real though, in the last few years I've seen many people moving back with their parents. I don't judge since I've been blessed owning my own house and raising a.family
