    When do you all think we will get an announcement?

    For the May Pac fight? I know ppl have been throwing around a possible March date and that is right around the corner. I think we will get one mid to late Dec. Thoughts?

    I doubt Floyd wants to fight him after what we just saw last night

      Everyone thought the negotations would take a long time and maybe even prevent the fight but now Im starting to think that it will be quick as both guys want the fight, Pac seems to want a quick date if not March, and I think both guys are starting to realize that despite what they wanted or what they thought, the purse is going to be split 50/50 and thats the only way either guy is taking the fight. No way Floyd is taking less and no way that Pac is taking less so that might actually allow things to happened quickly

        Nothing personal Webb (you are one of the more level headed Floyd fans on the site, hell on the net in general), but I will not talk about this fight until it is made.

        I don't expect to here anything any time soon.

        IMHO, Floyd will do everything is his power not to get this fight done. Floyd fights for money remember? If the money aint right (meaning Floyd getting 70% of it) , there is no fight.

        I will be shocked if this fight is made. Floyd has not been known for giving the people what they want, this will be no different.

          Its too much money for both of them. Its shouldnt be that hard...wishful thinking but I hope it isnt long and drawn out.

              Thanks for the kind words my friend. However, there is just too much at stake and too much money out there for EVERYONE to make. I know this fight will get. Greenberg was told by Richard from GBP that he will be calling Arum to discuss the fight. Thats what is needed and im confident that it will get made but I feel where you coming from.

                If it happens it will take a long time for negotiations i believe. You'd think both guys would be killing for this to be their next fight.

                    I heard that too. I hope you are right. This the fight the needs to happen. You are right, there is to much at stake, it should be a no-brainer, but I fear th..........Nevermind, I hope this fight gets made.
