Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Still Targeting Mayweather, Wants Him in 2010

I was thinking that the March 13th date might have been a sham to build hype for a later date. But they certainly picked a couple of the toughest guys they could find fopr a tuneup if that's the case

Not sure how this would happen later in 2010. Floyd will still demand a 14 day cut-off and if Pac accepts it will be an admission that they are the ones who killed the fight in March (which they clearly did).

Also if floyd and shane get it on in May their numbers will likely kill Clottey v Pac PPV's and Floyd will be asking for 55 or even 60% in the next round of negotiations on that basis. I doubt Manny will agree to a split that is not neutral or in his favour.......both of these guys love $$$$$$.

I see where your coming from with that. But pac's last fight did quite a bit better than floyd's and had a lot more hype and buzz in vegas than floyd's return which got pushed back months so it could be during the mexican holiday. I agree floyd mosley should do more ppv than pac clottey but pac's fight is going to be a pretty big event at cowboy's stadium and has the potential to have twice the fans at the actual fight of floyd mosley. Pac has also got a whole country supporting him and a much larger fan base than floyd who really doesn't have that big of a fan base. 50/50 is what it has to be or it won't happen and they will both be missing out on 40m plus. and floyd mosley has to happen.

I really do believe so.... I Think Arum was saying how the hell we going to pull such a World wide event in such a short period of time... Think about the whole World wants to see this... This the type of event where you need to have a World tour.... They only had 2 press tour scheduled for this event? That is not enough... This type of event you have to do a press tour in Cali, Nevada, Texas, New York, Europe...

And, Also Freddie Roach said he need it more time to prepare for Floyd if you remember. He said he need it like 10-12 weeks instead of the usual 8 weeks...

So I think they threw out the 8mil hoping the Floyd blink first it didn't happen... Then when Floyd threw out drug testing they were cool with it... But, then I think they realized it was just too soon. So then they changed there mind and said no we want a cutoff date... But, I just think they miscalculated on how bad Pac would look... I think Schafer also didn't want the fight to happen so early... I think that is why they went to the media first to get Arum to lose his nerve. And, they succeeded... And, that is how everything just blew up.

This people are smart businessman, they going to do whatever it takes to get more money... They don't give a fuck what us fans believe... All they care about is there pocket. And, now look at all the hype they got with all this. So if Floyd and Pac win later this year easy 3mil PPV buys. Easily...

But, what did surprise me with all this is how they are ******** right... Both, Pac and Floyd are not in easy fights...

very nice analysis...

Thats fine and dandy. But the FACT remains in order to fight Mayweather Pac has to take OST.

Pac agreed but Floyd wants him to be blood drained hours before the fight.

[superchile]

BLOOD DRAINED, from a teaspoon of blood? WHATDA****?

Except that they didn't see the cancellation of Berto-Mosley fight. I think they might have had planned on an easier opponent for PBF so the eventual meet-up later in the year is guaranteed. I'm confident MP can win over Clottey. Mosley on the other hand has a greater likelihood of upsetting PBF. I'm a little pessimistic the fight will Mosley will push through.

Wrong! You can't accused someone without any proof to back up what you said more so if these are came from a family full of criminal records and have no credibility. Pac will not bow down to their ridiculous demand because it's never been done in pro boxing but Pac will do it eventually not because for these ex-convict drug user/dealer, xlyocaine user/car park shooter, female boxer batterer and many more but for his fans. This is his biggest purse so is Floyd but Floyd needs this money more because of his financial problems, to support his flashy lifestyle and throwing money like nothing at the strip clubs than Pac giving his money to the poor people and needy children.
