    1. I'm not getting my hopes up.
    2. I'm not so sure a "Superbout" between these two would be anymore exciting that a lot of Floyd's more recent fights where he fights ultra conservative...Manny too.
    3. I used to think it was just Floyd who was a money grubber, but over the last year or two, starting with PacMan's selection of Mosley as an Opponent, that he's more appropriately "money" Pacquiao.
    4. Oh, and PacMan's lackluster performance against JMM last month after 3 years...still only capable of basically a draw. Calls into question whether he's really gotten all that better.

    The time for this fight was 2 years ago.

    As a sidenote, do you think they'd try to pull some $79.95 PPV b.s. on this one or what?

    Would love to see Pacman fight Adrien Broner frankly, or Nonito, you name it. I think his bigger competition is at the lower weight classes.

      He's forcing arum's hand in making sure the fight gets made, Which is the number one thing for boxing fan, Marley can write whatever he feels like writing as long as its in with helping pushing the fight, But Nah all he does is help arum out of making the fight...Two different people..so if ben thompson is bias then i would take that all day.

        Secondly, now people are complaining about him revealing the investors when just yesterday they were claiming he was making the whole thing up? But now that the investors themselves have gone on record that negotiations are indeed taking place (including confirming the Koncz-Floyd meeting was more than just a photo op and autograph signing), it's still bull****? Did Arum pay these guys off to continue the lie with him?

        But nvm all that... stop lying, Arum! And I guess now Rucker, if that's your real name. You're probably made up like the rest of the story... be gone, demon!

        Have not seen one post complaining about him revealing the investors in this thread. Some laughing about who they are.

        But anyway, get it done however.

          that's a bunch of bull.. fighthype is just being a bunch of grumpy haters. not sure why..
          the stuff they've been releasing as of late has been a lot of garbage. not sure what they're trying to get at with it.

                Yes it would have been an easier fight for Mayweather 2 years ago , after Mayweather destroyed Marquez easily .

                    yeah, might be Marley doing that for Arum but Ben also doing that for Floyd. Ben also helps Floyd either pushing the fight or floyd out of the fight...

                      lol and how do you know all of that? you pass on your opinions like it's a fact. and it seems like you're assuming all thompson's articles are accurate. get real...if marley is under arum's payroll the same could be true with thompson getting money from floyd.
