    They both should be working to get the biggest fight since Tyson Lewis made. They both want us chattering about it as long as possible.

    I'm reckoning the fight gets made before that countdown clock runs out and this has all been hype. Once the fight is over and they talk after the results we'll see whether there are beefs between the fighters or not.

    I bet Manny retires after this and then comes out of retirement one more time when he has Arum off his back.

      Look why they happened though. And look what happened throughout the negotiations. Hatton-Pac died for a while. DLH-Pac died for more than a while because Pacquiao wanted a bigger split than Mayweather got. Cotto got ****d by WBO and Arum to defend his belt at 145 or get stripped.


      All Pac fights look like they are about to die.


      Mayweather fights. He took the way less split against DLH, fought at 154, fought 8oz gloves no problem. Agreed to 50-50 with Hatton and no split for Mayweather from the UK PPV. No problem. Fought Mosley at 147, negotiations got done right away 60-40 for Mayweather no problem. Took the lesser split against Gatti, no problem. There's never been a problem with anyone else negotiating with Mayweather.

      Funny all of a sudden now Mayweather is having problems making a fight with who?...Bob Arum/Manny Pacquiao.

      It's not rocket science Mak.

        Like I said before, I could never really have a discussion with you because we could never agree on a premise too have a discussion.

        What is so crazy is you scream and shout for fairness in Margarito's situation.
        and clam he is not getting a fair shake because he was judge based on subjective evidence.
        But you refuse to give it out in Mayweather favor... when he is judge based on subjective evidence.

        Why asked for fairness when you dont even practice it..!
        you should just hate everything, and keep 100% hate all the time.

        Im done.
        this said by the biggest basehead on the website, floyd can do no bad if it was up to you, lol, nyahahahahahaha

              Hopefully Squirt is right and the fight is already signed.

                you forgot to mention why hasnt floyd ever fought williams margarito, cotto, clotteyetc. who cares about a gatti fight baldomir bruseles fight, pac at least will fight true welters, floyd retires, fights marquez, the big show and postpones fights by getting to heavy and wont agree to nothing with pac.



                i began to give floyd the proper respect he deserved after shane, i was one of few, now hes back at refusing to fight

                      I wish you would come up with a negotiation between Mayweather and another fighter, that looked like it wasn't going to happen.

                      Somebody HAD to bend for Pacquiao for those three fights I mentioned to happen.

                      If Mayweather was the one being hard to deal with, i'd have no problem admitting it. I always call Floyd out on his wrongs. But Floyd is not the one with the history of bitching in negotiations, Pacquiao however is another story.
