Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao Talks Complete: Floyd's Nod Needed

[Carpe Diem]

I know when I first logged onto this site the people who paid attention to my posts viewed me as a Floyd Mayweather hater and it was true up to a degree. I couldn't really find a reason to respect the guy because he was constantly making excuses of why fights with top boxers shouldn't happen.

That all changed the night he dominated Shane Mosley. Say what you want about Mosley's age, but he just demolished Margarito and was ranked #1 at 147. This along with the fact that Floyd **** on the sanctioning bodies earned a lot of points in my book and overcoming that rocky moment against Mosley in the second round and showing the heart he did.

Up until now, it's a fact Pacquiao was on the wrong side of the spectrum when it came to the blood tests. But that wasn't the main thing about Pacquiao that rubbed me the wrong way. He really did and still does strike me as a money grubbing fighter always trying to bend the layout to his favor and not going by the textbook like when he kept making these guys drain weight to fight him and hopscothing through divisions without fighting prime fighters.

Aside from all that though, I can't side with Floyd if this fight doesn't happen now and the ball is definitely in his court now.

I'm also not a Pacquiao hater even though his flaws when it comes to not fighting certain guys bother me. I'm actually a fan of the dude because he always fights like a warrior and I realize he has to answer to Arum and go along with the flow because he's not the match maker.

I totally agree.

**** all the precentage splits!!!

Floyd brings PPV, Pacquiao brings the asian high rollers which matters to Vegas and will they fork out for unprecetented site fee just for asian ballers to make everyone happy.

It's even.

Promotors happy. Vegas happy.

50/50 split.

14 day cut off. whatever.

Get it done.

This time is Real!

Well I guess there is not much to say, but Floyd...signed the Fuc&*ng contract, and let's get this show on the road, I don't know who will win at this point and what are the stipulations in the drug test, but Pacquiao is calling Floyd bluff. I want to see how Pacquiao performs with the drug testing so he can shut my mouth, and I want to see Floyd get hit in the mouth, I don't care who wins I want to see BLOOD!

Did Emanuel Pacquaio already sign?

so if Pacquiao is actually convinced that giving blood close to the fight won't weaken him....then the OST isn't actually a handicap that Floyd can use against him.

so no mental edge whatsoever = Floyd won't sign. I'm sure an agreement of 50/50 purse split will be enough to get a 7-10 day cutoff, with blood/urine given on fight night in the locker room after the fight.

I really wanna see this, and think it can go either way...but I'm still pessimistic.

come on floyd accept the fight so that i could start making bets with the *****s here. lol

The talks CAN'T be complete yet.

sounds like its a done deal. maybe the "joke" coach wasn't joking when he said pac would call mayweather's bluff, and agree to all of his demands....

[righthook10]

What does he need to agree to?

I'm sure his 14 day cut-off period for the blood testing was agreed to. The money issues should be right, seeing as Golden Boy agreed to them.

All that's left is his approval and signature.

It sounds that way, but I'm not convinced. The talks CAN'T be done yet, if Floyd still has to "ok" the proposal. See where I'm coming from?

So you believe that Manny has agreed and signed?
