All of you non boxing tramps will blame Mayweather Jr. for everything. Blame him on March 13th for beating the **** out of that over rated fighter that is on roids okay

Im a big fan of floyd but Pacquaio being overrated. LMAO.

Marquez, barrera, Morrales, Cotto wins are called proving your self against the toughest opponent. Tell me one active fighter that has better resume than Manny.

Also the whole roids thing. Pacquaio is not draining 15-20 pounds anymore and developed his right hand while keeping his speed. Also add that pacquaio always have big calves and fist which are two of the ingredients of a great puncher. **** the only fighter who stays in the gym as much as pacquaio is floyd. **** if people think pacquaio is on roids, then i guess Dwight Howard and lebron james are on roids too.

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer pulled out of a planned trip with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum and HBO Sports Ross Greenburg to Dallas to meet with Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to discuss his bid to stage the super fight between pound-for-pound king Manny Pacquiao and former No.1 Floyd Mayweather Jr at the $1.2 billion state-of-the-art Dallas Stadium.

Sounds to me like a side deal. The Cowboys stadium has more seating, a roof to protect against inclimate weather, and a SUPER GIGANTIC overhead display so that even the nose bleeds can get their money's worth by being able to watch the fighters instead of ants in the ring. Jones has loads of cash and would pay through the nose to get that fight. I see some shady stuff happening in this fight involving GBP and HBO, after all Pac is going to be involved in politics while Floyd may continue fighting. I said it here first, shadyness will be involved with this fight, possibly more of a kickback for HBO and GBP for holding the fight at MGM. Split decision win for Floyd on a VERY CONTROVERSIAL decision

May I ask a question:

When Jones pays a huge amount for the fight, how does Jerry make a profit?
How does JJ make his money back?

That does not explain why Pac is doing more damage to 140/147'ers than he was doing to 126/130ers. Especially if you say that Pac was bigger than his opponents at 130.

Lebron and Dwight? We've seen their performance since they were 12 years old. It has been consistent.

easy work and big payday for floyd the real p4p king money mayweather jr. easy work and big payday.

easy work? you sure about that? ...

he'll have a difficult time trying to beat pacquiao, Pac is not Hatton...remember that .

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

If I was in Mayweathers position I would not want to fight anywhere in Texas. This fight is also for history, so you have to factor in how important it is. Manny is running for office after this. Say he wins on a bad decision then decides to take office and retire from boxing for good. Floyd seemingly has only one chance at it.

NYU Alum,

What do you make of Staples Center/AEG's $20 million offer the day after this news breaks? You must know AEG is part owner of GBP so doesn't that seem su****ious to you? How about the draft contract that GBP sent that asserts that they will decide the venue?

When Schaefer turned down Dallas he didn't say it was because of economic reasons, he said it was because they didn't have enough time to have the fight in an outdoor stadium in March. What do you make of that? Schaefer is not saying that Dallas is a problem economically, you are the only one who is saying that.

If you work for Golden Boy can you tell me the details of Floyd's contract? I think it's safe to assume they had some big options on him when they allowed him to fight Oscar but I can't imagine it would be for more than 3 fights. If that's the case is a Pacquiao fight the last fight in his contract with GBP or has he signed an extension?

[MindBat]

All this bickering is probably just for some more exposure. With only 3 months until the fight i'm sure there will be 'spats' nearly everyday until them fighters get in that (in what floyd says in EVERY interview) 'square circle'!!!

And in the coming weeks we'll likely be reading that The Pac-May fight is in jeopardy of being called off or One of them suffered an injury in training so the fight will have to take place in September.

The more noise and controversy it generates the bigger it'll get.
