De La Hoya says Mayweather-Pacquiao contracts are close to being finalized

[Jim Tom]

I was watching an interview with Univision a few days ago and at the end of the interview they asked him about that fight. Contracts are close to being finalized according to him. He said that negotiations have been rough but that Mayweather and Pacquiao have realized that his fight needs to happen. Said that he cant talk further about negotiations but that they are really close.

Pacquiao's negotiations are meant to take away any strength from the opponent but Mayweather is a tough customer who will outclass Manny in the ring

If this gets signed, that's it, I'm going to Vegas.

We should organize a BS Vegas meet up for all of us going :wank:

fight was extremely close to happening before, almost finalized. then came OSDT.


Somebody's gonna find a way to f**k this up. I won't believe a thing until the bell rings to start Rd. 1

don't forget how unwilling bob arum was on making the fight though.

i clearly remember him threatening to end negotiations every week.

this is good news believe me

[Jim Tom]

Arum knows he doesnt have long to milk Pacquiao,he might as well feed him to Mayweather get a bag full of money then let Manny go if he wants to continue this congressman stuff.Arum is pretty rough,his fighters are treated like the inventories they are.I guess he will be trying hard to get Miguel Cotto back in the ring with Margarito too.

[johnm is...]

If this gets signed, that's it, I'm going to Vegas.

We should organize a BS Vegas meet up for all of us going :wank:

I would definitely be down for this.

Minus the wank, of course.

Lets just wait and see, negotiations are better off being silent... they usually go well when quiet.
