[Prime 407]

If Mayweather would have manned up already, we wouldn't have to keep having this converstation.

Keep telling yourself that, but under original negotiations, Floyd was willing to accept 2 weeks, when Manny wouldn't budge on 21 days. I'm betting that Floyd will stop Manny...my questions is why won't he sign. Ask yourself this - had HBO gotten an interview last Saturday with Floyd, and Floyd stated that he would absolutely take a December date with Pacquiao, would the fight not happen because of a proposed Margarito fight that isn't even signed yet? And by the way, why isn't that Top Rank only fight not signed???

Is that same deal Pac said no on which was ok by you back then ,,,, maybe Floyd didnt have the all the information he has now about a known cut off day being a bad idea , Floyd likes the fact that if Manny doesnt know what day he will be tested or not , he is then highly unlikely to risk throwing his career away , effectively proving to Floyd that Manny is clean , ITS VERY SIMPLE FLOYD THINKS PAC IS USING PEDS , HE WANTS PAC TO PROVE HE IS CLEAN BY TAKING FULL OST ,,, PAC SAID NO MAKING PAC LOOK LIKE HE IS HIDING SOMTHING .

The money they will work out and Floyd will get a little more , its the testing stopping the fight , Floyd wants no cut off , Manny wants notice of when testing is finished , one gets a clean fight the other gets a possible cheat ,, work it out bud .

Don't you actually have an opinion or just agree that 14 days is unacceptable? In your opinion, do you agree that boxers in general should be subjected to blood test on the day of the fight?

There is a danger for you nuthuggers. 18 days cut-off for Floyd will no longer be acceptable next time he fights whoever.

FYI, Pac is agreeable to a no cut-off in a radio interview long before agreeing to this 14 days cut-off.

So strange of Arum to entertain the possibility of this fight when, according to him, Floyd is scared of Manny. So much so that he ducked two fights, or something weird like that. Yet May 2011 is possible if he hires King? Is this the same Arum who walked away cursing in January and put some clock up on the website more recently? But the fight is now possible in May? Pacquiao fans...THINK!

Floyd finally admitted he is not interested in the fight. Which means he was just pretending he wanted the fight the first time.

Haha... the old man Arum was so naive he was scouting for a venue. He found Jerry Jones' Cowboy Stadium. LOL. Turns out that Floyd was looking for an excuse to weasel his way out of the fight. Poor Arum.

Damn Pac team they should have called all Floyd's bluffs right at the start. Floyd would have been forced to agree to the fight or admit he is really not interested. LOL.

If this was really the case (and not a grade-school scenario in your head), this thread wouldn't exist.

I could just imagine Arum's naivete when he was scouting for a venue. The old man was actually sure the fight will happen. Haha... You will recall that there was no response from GBP and Floyd. It was very strange. LOL.

Dream match?

$100 M and almost a year hype is really a dream fight for ALMOST all the boxing fans, except I think of 1 person who is not thinking of boxing for now. Until when are you (boxing fans) going to dream this fight?

[jbpanama]

I don't remember anyone ever saying that the fight will "NEVER HAPPEN" it is just not happening in 2010

I think it does get done in March or May 2011, even if Mayweather has to do a 1 fight deal with Don King to get it done

nobody worried about these haters, the same guys Bitching will be the first guys watching

True, I'll watch, but BOY has established
an M.O. of PUNKING OUT against Pac, and
this HABIT will be HARD to BREAK!!!!

Floyd Jr. is currently facing problem like this news item:

http://sports.yahoo.com/box/news;_yl...mayweathersued

LAS VEGAS (AP)—Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is being sued for unpaid rent and breach of contract after his promotions company was evicted from a Las Vegas office.
Mayweather lawyer Jeff Morse on Thursday downplayed the July 27 eviction of Mayweather Promotions LLC from what he said was a substandard building.
He said the company was going to move anyway, and has reopened. He declined to say where.
Attorney Ross Goodman says Mayweather owed almost $63,000 in outstanding rent, and never notified the landlord of any property problems.
Mayweather earned more than $20 million in May from his fight in Las Vegas against “Sugar” Shane Mosley.
A court date hasn’t been set in the civil lawsuit filed against Mayweather in Clark County District Court by landlord TDF Investments LLC.
