    ESPN Hot Button: Mayweather vs Pacquiao (Article)

    Both Jason Langendorf and Kieran Mulvaney tell why the fight will or won't ever happen. Interesting read.

    I dont wanna see this fight either. I'm not going to beg 2 spoiled b**** to DO THEIR JOBS.

    and yet here we are, we have fans begging 2 So called #1 P4P fighters to fight each other.

    Please take the fans 80m dollars and do your job!

    Can you believe that? Hey Joe, Heres $40,000 go drive your forklift.

    Nah man, I aint driving that forklift!

    But its your job Joe, nah man, I dont want that $40,000 to do my job!

    What has Boxing become where we have to beg 2 fighters to take 40m each just to do their jobs and fight each other?

    Manny doesnt care about his legacy/has no respect for Boxing and doesnt care who he fights.

    Floyd is using excuses either because he's scared or brainwashed by someone.

    Tyson wanted to pay $40,000 to fight a Gorilla.

    If you told Julio Cesar Chavez that he has 2 choices in opponents, one who is PED free and one who is on Roids he would fight the guy on PEDS just to prove to the world that he is the best fighter on earth and it doesnt matter who they put infront of him.

    and alot of the real ATG would have the same viewpoint, they wouldve rather took the fight with the "cheater" just so they can prove how great they are.

    Its obvious to everyone that Manny and Floyd dont wanna fight each other, no matter how much we beg them to, the fight will never happen.

        I'm honestly coming to terms with the fact that the two won't fight one another. And honestly I'd rather them not fight at all then for them to fight in 2014 when they're both old and over the hill and the fight disappoints. Just let Mayweather fight Ortiz, Khan, and any Golden Boy fighter, let Pac fight Marquez, Rios, any Top Rank fighter cause I'm tired of waiting for this **** to go down. There are plenty of other fights we can look forward to that don't involve their Prima Donna asses.

            As fans, we can push for this fight by not buying either Floyd's nor Manny's PPVs until they fight each other.

            As long as these guys can do one million plus vs no-hopers, they will continue to do so.

            No PPV buys until they fight each other.

                i think it will be an epic battle the world deserves to see and if *** head promoters could finally let there cash cow fight it will happen. this drug testing should be done so there are no excuses from the two fighters. lets hope floyd does what he says and arum puts his pride aside and lets pacman do what he wants. this constant threads on this event is gettin old quick . if it dont happen soon i think not only the public but the hardcore fans will not give a *** .

                    very good points.............

                    during pac marg fight there was noise about marg taking in something that warrants roach protest....this was highlighted by the fight commentators.....

                    pac just ignore it and went thru the fight......
