    I think the steroid stuff was cooked up in some HBO meeting between Haymon, the Mayweathers and HBO though.
    The thing is its not keeping us excited its making me for one (a big Floyd fan) and many others extremely pissed off, i don't want to keep hearing about this bull **** day after day, Pacroid this gayweather that..

      You people don't really believe this **** about the fight being off do you?

      Wake up folks, its called PR.
      This fight is happening, maybe not in March because there's not enough time, but its happening in 2010.

      Don't believe the hype. The promoters and HBO are just playing tricks on you.
      To be fair you could be right, its so close to March 13th that I guess its plausable that they've planned to do this to postpone the fight until later in the year... who knows we will have to wait and see.

        As Boxing fans, we should have respect for both fighters, be objective and not just pro-Pacquiao or pro-Floyd. We are Boxing fans we should want the biggest fights to happen instead of just backing people for the sake of it, whether hes representing your country or not.

          The epitome of Floyds career at 140 and up.

          You guys should be ashamed of yourselves.

          You've all been saying the same **** since 05.

          "just give him time".
          "we just have to wait".
          "it will happen, be patient".

          Kid, at a certain point, you just have to realize the tooth fairy isn't real.

            That **** only happens in the movies. In real life, people always go for the money.

            The fight is not off.

              Your online persona is to discredit Mayweather. You never talk about ANY other fighter. Sad.

                    good post.

                    but pac agreed to the mediated proposal by the retire judge.. hell even schaefer and haymon agreed to it. the only person who didn't wanna sign it was floyd even tho his promoter and advisor begged him to sign it.

                    only explanation: floyd is ducking.

                      That doesn't mean I don't think the fight won't happen, but I do not in any way shape or form.. think this is a "stunt".

                      Arum hates Floyd, theres no and ifs or buts or maybes about that... and why would Pacqiuao want steroid allegations pointed at him for PR? Talk about the WRONG kind of attention... there's no way in hell Pac or ARUM, want to be looked at like steroid users for the sake of "PR".
                      agreed....
