    How could Floyd fight the same day as Pacquiao?

    Or was that just some bull**** I seen on here...no way in hell is there gonna be a doubleheader IMO...

    Floyd is an HBO fighter...how could him and Pac fight the same night???

    I doubt they would do a 2 site telecast and have Floyd fight basically an undercard bout...


    Anyone?

    I don't think HBO has agreed to put either fight on.


    Top Rank, from what I understand will be pushing forward with their promotion whether or not HBO backs them or not. They are no strangers to putting their own PPV events on.

        True but HBO is gonna want the #1 P4P man on there broadcast...they accepted Cotto-Clottey, a Clottey-Pac fight is somewhat appealing I guess...

            It would be seriously ****** to have both these fights on the same day. I hope one of their camps wises up and changes their date.

              I think HBO has a lot already invested with GBP, so I wouldn't be surprised if that was the event that they ended up broadcasting on PPV.

              Plus, I don't think that will damage their relationship with Arum or Top Rank being that Arum has stated that they wouldn't have a problem putting the PPV on without HBO.

                If I'm HBO...

                Mayweather vs scrub (unless he fought Paul Williams...not happening IMO)

                Pacquiao vs Clottey (top fighter at WW)

                That's not a hard decision...tell Floyd and GBP to pick another date with there bull**** fight...

                  I doubt Floyd will fight on the same night, especially if they were both PPV.
