Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs Malignaggi; Pacquiao-Foreman: Our Future?

[jkaisen41]

They met, and met, and met. The camps for Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. met for nine hours on Tuesday before mediator Daniel Weinstein at his office in Santa Monica, California. As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, Top Rank's Bob Arum and Todd deBoef set a meeting before Weinstein with Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions. Their legals teams were there, and so was Mayweather's adviser Al Haymon. [Click Here To Read More]

Happy new year to both and a big fat FU to the both of you as well...

paulie becoming the most sought after opponent now....
he is riding front seat the wagon of both manny and floyd....
manny won't fyt him....
floyd?.... i won't be surprised!

manny has lots of options......
tim bradley, yuri and even jmm who will do away with tests for the ryt price.
best is for pac to wait mosley-berto.
floyd doesn't care about that match!!

Floyd is only back for the money.

Malignaggi is an easy payday for him,and a good sparring session,no risks.
I can't blame him.

Bottom line,Manny step up(not in competition but in weight),Floyd doesn't as usual.

I would prefer to see Floyd vs Foreman than Floyd vs lightass Malignaggi.

as Floyd fan i would hate to see Maywather-Malignaggi that just seems like it would be the most boring fight in boxing history next to Haye-Valuev

[Lorily]

"Mayweather vs. Malignaggi will be a pure boxing match with two quick, defensive minded boxers. Tough to see a knockout here. It can play out in two ways. Twelve rounds of trash-talking with quick action or a boring twelve round chess match with two guys looking for openings."

Did they forgot Malignaggi is a clown who get ruined by Hatton.The guy is irrelevent at 147.
Malignaggi "so called pure boxer" isn't that good,he's slick but he sucks.He ****** against N'Goudjo and n'dou.

At least Foreman hold a title and is a big 154 fighter.
Foreman would beat Malignaggi easy.

Ya, I agree. If the May/Mal fight happens it will be funny as hell because FMJ will insult Mal. and he will get all butt hurt because FMJ is his idol. Then Paulie will start talking **** and contradicting himself as he always does. It would be a straight HBO feature at best, no PPV event by any means but I doubt that would ever happen, Floyd is all about the PPV. But FMJ has the March 13th date and needs to fight someone... too soon for Mosely/Berto winner.
Pac vs Foreman is a slippery slope for Pac IMO. If he beats Foreman at 154 (more than likely at 170 come fight night) and doesnt take scrutinizing blood tests before and after, it will only make the Mayweather camp talk louder. However, if he takes the tests and comes up clean and loses (which I don't believe Pac would lose but anything can happen in boxing) then FMJ camp will say "see, he can't beat a bigger man without using."
A no win situation for either fighter promotionally. I hope the promoters see this (=open their eyes/shut their mouths) and make the fight happen with FMJ and Pac. Although I seriously doubt it will happen until the end of the year, it will still hapen. In that case I would like to see either fighter fight Bradley. Or FMJ vs Bradley, and Pac vs Foreman. The latter would only be good if both sides agree on blood testing terms that are reasonable (i.e. 30 days before, 7-5 days before and immediately after). Roach will agree to that as he stated very early on in negotiations that he would let Manny do one no later than 5 days before. For those who say that is not true, go back and check the articles for 12/26. It was Arum who declined at that point because of his "pride".

do you ever get off pacs nuts?

you want to sub, i know!!

for floyd?....i just tell it the way it is.....my opinion!!

[TboneNYC09]

I cant wait to see what manny's team demands of Foreman in this fight.Another catch weight for that mans title.If Manny doesn't ask for a catch weight,then thats a real slap in the face of the fighters Manny has fought in the past few years.Manny's team "Oh,Manny could barely make 147lbs"LOL yeh OK!.Keep backing this **** Pacfans.Open your eyes and be a boxing fan,not a bias fan.

MGM belongs to GBP... They have a business arrangement. Remember that Arum wanted to have a meeting with Jerry Jones to host the fight in Dallas? But, Schafer blew it off didn't go. That is because Schafer wanted the fight at the MGM since they have an agreement. That was why Bob Arum was pissed about it...

And, from what I read was a that potential Pac-Foreman fight might happen on March 20. So I think Top Rank will go to March 20.

Now who will get HBO PPV? That I don't know... I do know Ross Greenburg has a really good relationship with GBP and Al Haymon. And, Top Rank can always do an independent PPV. They are not scare of that. They have done it before. They question is would they do a PPV show back-to-back? Would that be smart? The sales would suffer from both sides....

you are ryt on mgm and gbp...as well on those dates.
but i doubt if hbo will take floyd-paulie bout.
and if hbo does....top rank will make manny-yuri a ppv and compare hits with floyd.
who do you think will get higher buys??

[Sykkline]

Everybody should boycott both of these fights! Fcuk pac for being a scared *****! Pac needs to shut his mouth take the blood tests and get his ass handed to him!
