    I'm still laughing at how people think that 50/50 and 14 day cut-offs (as well as extreme weight penalties when Manny has come overweight before,ring size and gloves in Manny's favour,etc) were an unfair deal for Manny previously,but now it is a good one....kinda odd-or ******.

    For all we know,GBP are honouring the gag order because they are unsure if negotiations are finished,or if Floyd will accept the terms.Bob Arum's media talk is a way of him getting out of further negotiations if Floyd doesn't like this contract and wants to negotiate further.It sounds like Arum sent a "take it or leave it" offer as opposed to a negotiation.
    Time will tell for certain.

        What fights did Manny come in over weight? And as far as I know, a 24 ft Ring would serve Mayweather more than Pacquiao who likes to fight in close quarters anyway, and aren't 8oz gloves the standard in Vegas? Correct me if I'm wrong

            Could be a lot of things. I'm on the boat (no pun intended) that TR and GBP are trying to make the fight happen, not sabotage it on purpose.

                  You're correct. It is 10oz standard.

                    dude, no one is trying to sabotage on floyds behalf

                    floyd wants the liongate share and no cut off dates. and has proven hes in the position to make said demands.

                    team pac arent in that position.

                    if anything, TR is tryign to sabotage the fight if they are asking for 50/50 and 14 days

                      He was over the weight in the Torrecampo fight.I believe he was stripped of his belt as well.

                      In Nevada it used to be 10 oz gloves,unless 8 oz were mutually agreed upon...

                      The ring size was to be a 20 ft ring...
