"You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink".

Floyd would never be ringside at another Pacquiao fight. The boos would make him cry in front of everyone.

@TS
They already did sometime last year I think. But Floyd chose his "vacation" (until MP made a fight against JMM).

HBO can't risk pissing off floyd or Bob Arum.

so they can gently nudge-- but they can't force ****.

Ross Greenburg tried his best and said that he didn't know why floyd pulled out.

Floyd's camp said the negotiations never happened. But Greenburg said they did and Arum said that Floyd was delusional.

HBO could make the fight if they told floyd straight up, we won't be televising any of ur future fights unless its against Pacquiao. Floyd doesn't have the balls to fight on showtime like Pac did.

All they got to do is corner the fighters into making it, do a live interview with Floyd and Pacquiao after Pac-Marquez 3, invite Floyd ringside.. do whatever.

They can definitely do a lot more than they are currently doing, are they just trying to make it so we have 3 big PPVs a year instead of 1 massive one? They really need to up their game.

HBO does not want to make this fight until each are ready to hang up the gloves. When one of them loses then then their drawing power is gone, and HBO will then lose one of their cash cows. I think both fighters want the fight, but money hungry big wigs are keeping the fight from us.

To add, Erik Morales isn't too keen on lending Floyd one of his balls.

Floyd might have to sell it to pay the IRS and Terrible will want it back at some point.
