Dan you've critisized Floyd for handpicking opponents but never Pacquiao... Pacquiao chose Diaz over Casamayor... Cotto over Mosley... and now recently considered Yuri over Martinez and Malinaggi over Bradley... Why the double standard? Dan, our entire forum is waiting for you to respond to this, meanwhile you are discussing laundry.

That ******* doesnt wanna answer any real questions... I also asked him about Bob Arums hatred for Floyd being a factor in the negotiations of the fight and he is to scared to answer that as well... He just wants to answer quick "yes" or "no" questions and talk about dumb bull****...

I've gotten through on ESPN chats before. Don't keep posting the same questions over and over. It clogs up the queue, it makes the ESPN guys mad and you end up getting blocked.

There are a lot of people chatting at the same time and the queue goes by pretty quickly. The writers who chat basically just pick the best question they see on their screen. It has nothing to do with being scared of answering questions.

"OK, Freaks, we have breaking news.

That was Vinny Scolpino, Josh Clottey's manager. He told me he and Bob talked money in the last hour or two and they have agreed on their end of the fight. He said Clottey was ecstatic and will be returning to the US from Ghana on Monday. Nothing signed yet, not official but their side is in."
