HOLD ON! Fight is NOT DEAD!

[Jo94403]

Fight is not dead! Both sides are still hoping to find a compromise to get this fight saved. Despite the current lawsuit.



"Schaefer did say that he remains hopeful that despite the suit and despite the vitriol between the sides that a deal can be salvaged and the fight still be held as planned. He said he has turned negotiations on Mayweather’s side over to Bruce Binkow, Golden Boy’s chief marketing officer. Top Rank president Todd duBoef is negotiating with Binkow on behalf of Pacquiao.

“I want to exhaust any and all possibilities to get the fight done. Everything I have is going into finding a way to make this fight and getting a compromise that is acceptable to all parties.”
Richard Schaefer, chief executive officer of Golden Boy Promotions

“I still hope that somehow a compromise can be found and that this fight can be saved,” Schaefer said. “I fully realize that this fight not happening is not only a big blow for the fight but it has much bigger, much more serious ramifications. I don’t even want to think about what’s next for Floyd, what this, what that.

“I want to exhaust any and all possibilities to get the fight done. Everything I have is going into finding a way to make this fight and getting a compromise that is acceptable to all parties.”

But Arum said he’s still agreeable to a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight if Mayweather’s side will agree to all the testing be administered by the Nevada commission.

“All they have to do is to agree that the testing and everything else in this fight is under the jurisdiction of the Nevada State Athletic Commission and we will have a deal,” Arum said. “Kizer is the regulator in charge of this fight and Manny would comply with any request he made, as he always has.”

If new year go by and they don't have the fight signed. Then they are not fighting in March. They will fight in September.

this fight ain't happening.

schaefer and arum aren't even negotiating anymore. the fact that they've handed it off to other people means the talks aren't going anywhere.

floyd was looking for a way out of the fight from the jump.

You keep saying "they'll fight is September" but what if Roiduiao wins his race? it won't happen, so imo it's either March or never, i don't know anyone who wants to wait a whole damn 9 months for this fight anyway, the buzz will be completely gone by then.

Schaeffer is gonna try to shaft Pacquiao regardless.

Why wouldn't it happen in September even if he wins his election?

the fight is ruined.

if pac wins *****s will say "so what, pac is using PEDs."

if pac loses *****s will say "see, pac didn't have his PEDs."

instead of talking about a great fight all that will be discussed is whether pac is using PEDs or not. *****s and Team Mayweather have ruined a great fight. thanks jerks.

and don't tell me the blood test will settle it for you *******s. *****s will say "Pac is on some untraceable ****."

the fight is ruined. RUINED!

[Syf]

I still think the fight will happen.



They are just trying to milk the most out of the market as they possibly can. And despite the victories of Numero Uno and Firepower, the market is still on life support and too many people forget that. So they are doing all of this....


But the fight will happen

I thought if Roiduiao wins he'll have to answer to his *******s? or is he just gonna get on with boxing? anyway regardless of that the fight's buzz will be gone by september like i said.

They hand of to neutral people to salvage negotiation without emotion , is way of professional business man push hard to make deal , is plain to see Team Mayweather try every road to make deal , if no want fight why Floyd keep try , Manny is said leave many time already not Floyd , where you look for your focus because you look wrong place , when brain fill hate you see only hate .
