2day shows how biased alot of manny fans are

[2501]

He could always fight Floyd at 154 and then Foreman afterwards...

But I couldn't give a ****, this fight would NEVER happen at 154...Floyd's camp is probably sitting back laughin at this offer if they actually made it...

Still doesn't make sense as Floyd fights at WW. Why would Floyd want the fight at 154 if he's only had one fight at that weight and didnt even weigh that?

Yeah, I really doubt it. 147 with the WBO title it is.

154 is a lie



"According to Bob Arum, the main things have been agreed to," Pacquiao's trainer, Freddie Roach, said in an exclusive telephone interview this morning from England, where he is training Amir Khan to defend his light-welterweight title Saturday night.

A source close to the negotiations says the most likely venues for the fight are Las Vegas or Cowboys Stadium. The purse — which could generate $150 million in pay-per-view revenue — will be split 50-50 between the fighters, according to the source, who adds that there will be a 147-pound weight limit.

"One hundred and forty seven is ok with us," said Roach, "but we're still working on some of the other stuff like the gloves. I'm sure (Mayweather) wants 10-ounce gloves. We want eight ounces. But Bob told me he'll take care of all that."

On Tuesday, Arum left Las Vegas to the Philippines to present Pacquiao with prospective terms from Mayweather's camp and Golden Boy, Oscar De La Hoya's company, which is acting as his promoter. They did not meet until Thursday afternoon. When the meeting was concluded, Pacquiao called his trainer for approval.




The timing also makes sense given Pacquiao's ambitions. He plans to run for the Philippine Congress on May 10. A March date would give him time to campaign.

Boxing fans have been looking forward to a super fight between Pacquiao and the undefeated Mayweather after the Filipino champion defeated Miguel Cotto last month.

The March 13 date is just four months after the Cotto fight — a shorter period of time than the six months after Pacquiao defeated Ricky Hatton. But Pacquiao advisor Michael Koncz said it will be enough time for Pacquiao to get back in shape.

"Nobody knows his body better than Manny," he said. "If Manny feels that that's plenty of time to rest and recover, then you know, he has to do what he feels is right."

He said Pacquiao "cannot train for more than seven weeks."

Representatives of the Superdome in New Orleans and the new Dallas Cowboys' stadium have expressed interest in hosting the fight, as has the MGM Grand hotel-casino in Las Vegas, where the fighters have fought their biggest fights. There is also a proposal for a 30,000-seat temporary stadium on the Las Vegas Strip across from the Wynn resort.

Oddsmakers are already taking bets on the fight, with most making Mayweather a slight favorite.

IN Las vegas any fight above 140 has to be fought with a 10 ounces glove so Roach is BS again.

i thought it was 154 and up

[Levcon8686]

im starting to think they just drop these differant stories daily to entertain us

Without a doubt.

The more controversial the stories, the more hits this forum gets. ****ting on Floyd is a major pastime for alot of 'boxing fans' , so any negative relation to Floyd feeds alot of peoples hate humps. Notice how the stories with the most views are ones that leave an opening to slate Floyd.

I'm gonna wait and see what they agree to in the end, rather than speculate in the meantime. I think Floyd loses credibility if it's at 154, but I'd be very surprised if it is.

Wasn't Pac-Cotto in Vegas and with 8 ouncers?

[Sweet Pea 50]

The facts are Floyd wants it at 154 with 20oz gloves and Manny wants it in 3 years.
