Pacquiao & Floyd Agree to Fight – Signatures Only Thing Needed on Finalized Contract!

Again, bull**** until it is officially announced by both party in a press conference.

“Bad” Brad Berkwitt is the worst writer, I will believe this if it came from respected media like espn, boxingscene etc but not on ringsidereport.

This is a manufactured story. It is a lie. Dont' believe it. There is NO WAY HBO would entertain a major fight at the end of November. It would either have to be the Saturday before Thanksgiving or the Saturday after Thanksgiving for it to be at the end of November. That would be the two worst weekends of the year to host a fight with the exception of the time around Christmas. This is a lie made up by a dufus trying to get attention for his website.

i dont believe it, i need proof, how would this guy have this info before Pac or May made it public?? Regardless Id take this as an early Christmas present. (Id buy and watch this on Christmas morning if I had too!!)

I'll believe it when Reeno/Pump announce it as a "comments thread for".

Does anybody remember the countless articles for Pacquiao-Delahoya and Pacquiao-Hatton, before the fights got signed?

For Delahoya-Pacquiao, millions of articles came out about a dispute in the money split. Pacquiao wanted something like 5% more and Delahoya started considering, Sergio "The latin fake" Mora as an opponent. Eventually they squashed everything and the fight got signed.


For Hatton-Pacquiao, Manny didn't want to agree to a 50-50 split and Hatton threatened to walk, and start looking for other opponents. 10 or 20 Articles later, they agreed on a 55-45 split in Manny's favor.

They're obviously trying to ****-tease this thing to the limit. Like in politics, there are some behind the curtains things that we know nothing about. Politicians arguing on camera while hugging and laughing backstage. For these fight, they have brought out the woodwork, the most passionate fanboys for both fighters arguing against each other. The fight was never gonna happen in March anyway, wasn't enough time to promote this thing and now all the controversy has made it even bigger. It's like the leadup to the Lewis-Tyson fight, they knew it was long awaited and Tyson's press-conf antics almost got the fight cancelled, but as a result made it bigger. After he got his ass whooped, he admitted that he did that for promotional purposes and it worked.

If this is true, which I seriously doubt, I will be extremely happy! Both my favorite fighters getting it on!

“The long anticipated fight between Manny Pacquiao, 51-3-2, 38 KO’s and Floyd Mayweather, JR., 41-0, 25 KO’s is a done deal with only signatures needed on the printed contract” said a very reliable inside source close to Team Mayweather who has just contacted RSR. This inside source went on to say, “Floyd is very happy that both sides could work out issues that he always felt could be talked out.” Floyd is anticipating on making well over 50 million dollars with Manny making almost the same. Tentative dates being kicked around for an HBO PPV is the middle to end of November 2010 and if this does happen there is no doubt that this fight will be the biggest grossing in history.

In recent articles, both Promoters Oscar De La Hoya and Bob Arum have thrown tidbits out that the fight was very close to being made which back up RSR’s source as well. Arum, recently has been putting fights on in Stadium Venues with great success and the boxing public is craving for this fight to also be in a stadium which without any doubt will be sold out in hours!
