    This is sad. Bradley is a "nobody" among elite boxers. Mayweather is desperate to get Manny on the slide and he may just achieve it by the time the fight happens (if it does). If only Mayweather/Pacquiao could have happened a year ago...

      How the hell is mayweather desperate to get manny on the slide? Manny is a few years younger. The anointed p4p king shouldn't slide. Mayweather hasn't yet. Foolish statement.

        I'm sick of all this soap opera. Both parties are to blame for this debacle. I love both fighters and just want to watch them fight. The pound for pound rating was created to determine who the best fighters are that could never fight each other due to weight differences and now we have the 2 best p4p fighters in the world who happen to fight around the same weight & era & us as fans are being denied this fight by a load of ****. They'll both make a ton of money, more than they've ever made but screw all that. They owe it to us the fans who have followed these fighters for years, to make the fight. They owe it to the sport of boxing that they've put so much into & dedicated their lives to & that has made them rich & famous, to make this fight. Both fighters should want this fight for their legacy, to truly say they are the best & they are acting like a bunch of infants. This fight should have been made 2 years ago & time is running out. I hope this fight does happen but honestly don't think it will now & no matter what they've done in their careers, which is spectacular, we'll always remember that the 2 best never fought each other. How long will it be before we have 2 multiple world champions fighting at the same weight? It could be decades or even never. Make the fight! Who is with me?

          Not sure if mentioned but if the document Floyd just showed is true, Pac is pricing himself out of this fight...by a lot. The excuses from Arum basically go like this...

          Floyd is going to jail in jan, Pac can fight JMM on the 5th

          Floyd sentence delayed. Pac cannot fight on the 5th, Cut too bad.

          Manny says cut is fine, Arum says stadium cannot be built.

          Arum offers Floyd to fight the Saturday before his jail, in a stadium that at this point doesn't exist, when Pac gas basically said he could fight the 5th, while Floyd has a coveted boxing date AND venue that Arum had been aware of since last year.

          Arum wants Floyd on the 9th of June, while in jail (This is nota joke and is hilarious)

          Arum and Roach want Floyd right after jail.

          Pac offers to take the less of two shares, Floyd CALLS Pac personally..now want 50/50.

          Arum doesn't know who to call to make negotiations (lmfao)


          ....It's pretty funny. But it's funny because it's true. And please, Pac sliding? No, the pac you'll see against Floyd will have just been the same Pac from before. Pac ISN'T sliding, and as a fan I can comfortably say he was never as good as Roach and Arum make it out to be. Pac is all of a sudden sliding? What, was he sliding the first Morales loss? The first two JMM fights? The third one where Marquez seemed to outsmart him? He's the same fighter from then, just buffer. An he's younger than Floyd lol. That's almost an Arum'esque excuse.

            Someone please ask Arum, why is it that Floyd can call Michael Konez and speak to Manny directly but no one in Manny's team including Arum can call Floyd?

            Maybe loosing to Floyd will hurt Pacquiao's chance at ever becoming president of the Philippines.
