Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs Pacquiao Close To a Done Deal?

Floyd won't take a fight unless he knows he has a real real good shot of winning. This is why I think he agreed to march. Floyd will be like a larger version of Marquez when he fights PAC. I will be rooting for pac but betting on Floyd.

Those paintings are pretty good, not amateur by any means. Just one thing, in the second of the pictures, the full front guy, looks more like Carmen Basilio, definitely nothing like Cotto.

told yall, floyd is ready, he will beat manny.. manny and his team dont want it

The reason Manny wants the fight in early March is obviously because of the election. It would be perfect timing if he wins the fight and carry a momentum for his election. I don't think he needs it, but he did lose his last election in his own hometown. Please let this be true and hopefully Manny agrees with whatever they presented to Arum. Knowing Arum how he adores his cash cow, whatever the deal is i'm sure Arum is quite positive and happy that Manny will be happy with it and accept the deal.

What do you mean by Arum "adores his cash cow"....?? Arum has been in the business for over 40 years, and has promoted the biggest and best fights and fighters. He probably has nearly as much money as the U.S. Government. He doesn't need Manny P. Manny P needs him. And it was the very same for Mayweather and Oscar, until they got on their feet.

I worry that Pac will have too much on his plate, possibly one of the biggest WW fights ever and he'll be in the process of trying to get a political career/campaign off the ground whilst training? Doesn't seem ideal.

If he spends the time concentrating on training for the fight, and WINS....that's his free ticket to be elected. If he loses, apart from having an excuse, very likely the sympathy vote will also get him elected.

In the meantime, I've read somewhere, that the seat he expects to run for, will be uncontested. So.............what situation could be better??

Cool should be a good fight.

Someting is off here. Hopkins-Jones is also scheduled for March 13. HBO is planning on having a 24/7 for that fight, aren't they? Well, what about Pac-May if it's also on March 13? Two 24/7's at the same time? Ich don't think so. One of these fights will NOT be on March 13.

Good news..........

[Mr. Chago]

No surprise at all.

To anyone with their eyes open on the whole picture (and not solely on one's testicles), the fight's been in the making for awhile.

Agree, they even were checking the Cowboys Stadium before the Cotto fight...I just hope this was already a done deal and not rumors that go either way...

I don't believe it - Matweathers nutts finally dropped. Today he becomes a man.

Don't hate on Mayweather because your man Cotto got his @ $ $ kicked. Cotto is damaged goods. So long PPV! Hello Friday Night Fights!

Your avatar would be more accurate if you had a pic of Pacquaio and a syringe as opposed to Mayweather. Mayweather has been called many things but steroid user isn't one of them. Pacquaio can't say the same.
