Mayweather-Pacquiao under "Fair Terms"

[Scratch2win28]

AGREED... If Floyd wanted the fight he would of looked at the contract and said hold up, I dont want this or sure lets make it happen..

But FLOYD DONT WANT THE FIGHT regardless of a 14, 7, no-cutoff..

How in the hell do you know what Floyd said when he seen the contract? Floyd hasnt said anything since day 1.

man, i dont wanna be talkin about this 'should have been' fight for the next 20 years

We'll get over it in about 10 years but every now and then a thread will pop up asking who would win, kinda like the Lewis-Bowe threads lol.

I know the topic has been done to death but I want a general consensus on this board. And I'd like to know what we all think before we hear what happens next. For now, let's stick to the facts. We know that a proposal has been sent to Team Mayweather, possibly with all the terms Floyd wanted, according to Arum. Also, according to Arum, GBP has signed off on the proposal. In February, Mayweather stated that subsequent negotiations would have to include full testing. In May, Pacquiao stated that he would fight under the 14-day cutoff period Mayweather had previously offered. Forget whether Arum has really sent over a testing proposal that both parties have agreed upon...what does NSB believe is a fair? Is it:

Full Testing
Mayweather has stated he would fight under those circumstances only. May be a bluff, may not. His case was made in May (that's a lot of May's) when he defeated the division's other serious threat, with both parties subject to full testing. The 1.4m PPV buys stamped his claim as the sport's biggest moneymaker. He has been agreeable to all other terms and, with his bargaining position, perhaps deserves to have his wish granted? Or no?

Seven Day Cutoff
A compromise between their two positions now. Surely, both parties would have no issue with this? If you feel they might, what are they?

14 Day Cutoff
While this position is dated, it is one Floyd posed before to Pacquiao. Ok, I'll be honest here...I was looking for a solid reason to write why this option was valid and I couldn't find one. I'm not joking :/. If there is a solid poster on this board who chooses this option, please state why. After that first sentence, I was genuinely stumped.

Decision time is Friday. It may come sooner. What sayeth NSB?

I like 60% to the winner with full testing.

i still remember Bowe and that assh0le Newman during the presser where they threw the WBC(?) belt in the trash...as a Lennox hater at the time, it was a hard pill to swallow to know that our (US) champ was a chicken****

I loved Lennox. Never was a big fan of Bowe cuz I liked Evander. And I became a fan of Lennox after he flattened Ruddock. It's good he didn't fight Bowe at that time because an in-shape Bowe would've beat him. But the version from 96-98? Lennox would've did him in.

I dont, no one knows.. the contracts probably still sitting at UPS or FedEX waiting or someone for Mayweathers Team to pick up for all we know..

Bottom line is this.. If Floyd wanted the fight, he would of looked at the so called contract that Arum proposed and either countered the proposal or signed the damn thing..

But he hasnt done either...

i never appreciated Lennox until after he retired


i remember the destruction of Razor Ruddock...that was a showtime fight..i was stunned that a guy that went 19 rounds with Tyson got worked in 1 round


if there were message boards back then, i would have been the first to say that Tyson ruined him

Looks like we are going to have another Rjj/Hopkins II moment on our hands, the "60-40" I kick yo ass moment. I hope we don't have to wait years before we see this fight which would have made it irrelevant by then.
