Actually they have used up so much energy to get the march fight i say go ahead with it. And have the rematch later this year in septmenber maybe.

How would that be possible if Koncz, Pacquiao's business adviser, blasted the deal.

Could the fight be of maybe because they realized March was too soon to make it happen? And, maybe decided to fight during the fall? Could that be a possibility?

Too soon? This fight has gotten more plublicity than any fight ever. They can fight tomorrow and break all records. Us fans are on standby waiting for the contracts to be signed. If so just say we will fight in may and both fighters will do warm up fights. Theres no need to fake negotiations just to put it off until the fall.

Exactly. So why would Richard say that. All of this stuff is confusing me. I got a headache because of this.

What would he have to hide though? If you think he is juicing then fine lets say he is. If it is all about the money then he did not have juice for this fight and just fight clean right?

People keep saying he has something to hide but then why not just go into this fight clean if he really is dirty?

He doesnt want to lose??? Everyone at the top is afraid to lose.

Well it doesn't matter now if Pacquiao vs Clottey is true. Who will Mayweather fight is now the million dollar question?

Sounds like the fight is off until later this year. I think negotiations were rushed and thats why Arum played the bad guy demanding 30 days (roach and pac are both on record saying they'll do a few days) to delay things.

Time to move on, isn't an issue of anybody ducking, its just a rushed negtiation and a rushed fight. Expect Pac to fight a top 5 jrWW/WW and PBF to go after Hatton or Paulie then they'll meet before the end of the year.

Give these guys credit, 8 weeks is not enough for either fighter to put up a game plan and make changes for either fighter, nor is 2 1/2 months enough time to promote this fight to the magnatude they want it to be.

Bob will rush to get Clottey to sign that contract. Once Manny signs then no more Mayweather talk. Would have got what he always wanted. No fight.
