    I Called It and Pac Fans Agreed

    Ive been saying recently that if Arum wants 30 and Floyd wants it the whole way then they should both compromise and meet in the middle at 2 weeks. I said that there is no way you can say that 2 weeks would affect Pac in any way. No way possible it weakends him and mentally it wouldnt even be on his mind by time the fight got there. Even the Pac fans have to admit 2 weeks is fair. They said it was when I was saying it. Last night when everyone said Pac's team proposed 24 and that Floyds team said NO to it all and werent even trying to negotiate, and then I said the 14 days thing, they all said it was cool. They said it was cool but Floyd wont bend from him wanting up all the way until the day of the fight.

    I even went against alot of Floyd fans and said that I can understand Pac saying NO but you cant understand 14 days. Thats pretty much meeting everyone down the middle. Then not only do you turn it down but you start spouting off all crazy like Arum was doing last night? It just seems weird and strange. Floyd is killing him right now, e****ally with the mediator stuff on top of it

    14 is a damn good offer considering the fact that I wouldn't have gave Pacquiao no cut off date.

      I would take 14 days too.

      On the other hand Floyd started this whole mess with the random testing in the first place, Pac even agreeing to them at all in itself is a compromise.

      Both sides are faulty here, BOTH SIDES.

        Pac might agree to a 14 day if it is true that PBF offered it. But how long a training camp have they got now. 6 weeks or so now. Theyd need a week to recover from this garbage they call negotiatiing.

          They both still plan on fighting in March, and the Press conferences was suppose to be this week, so there is still time...

            "14 days compromise" - we haven't heard of it until now. Maybe Floyd doesn't want to lose the guaranteed over 20M$ deal after all. Let see what team Pac has to say.

              They still have plenty of time. If they sign to do and do the quick 1 or 2 tour dates then they can still get there 8 weeks in. If they can move it back to March 20th like theyve been saying then that gives them the extra time they may want

                They should quickly get this fight out of the way. Hopefully there next fight, or rematch they can have longer to think about and it wont be rushed.
                I am assuming these two will not only have one fight.
                So i say just sign and get this one out of the way, then we can get ready for the next one.

                  True, and thats why I have always said that I understand it on both sides and I wouldnt blame either if the fight doesnt come off but in Floyd's defence now, the Pac camp knew from day 1 what Floyd's team wanted and they said it was no problem. Then out the blue everything changed. Then Pac's team said that he's ok with it but just not a day or 2 before the fight. Then Roach said give him 3-5 days and theyre fine. then the next thing it jumped all the way to 30. I dont think Floyd's camp likes 14 days at all. I know they didnt want that and you know thats true also. They want the whole thing so they can make sure but they are compromising big time. I thought they still would start low if they caved, like at 3 days or 5 days or maybe 7 but they went all the way to 14. Thats definatly fair. Again, Pac doesnt have to do it and I probably still wont rip him but I would come from the Center and lean a little to Floyd's side if it didnt come off because I think 14 days, taking the 10mil penalty, fighting with the 8oz gloves, going 50/50 immediatly, and making it at 147 shows that Floyd was willing to make this fight happened all the way

                    All that **** is Pac's fault. He should say **** that Election and run the next time around. That ****in election date has screwed all this **** up. March is too early and September or later is too late
