Comments Thread For: HBO's New Prez Not Sweating Mayweather-Pacquiao Fight

[mushahadeen]

EXACTLY! If the two fighters/camps cant agree on something, maybe do something d#ckhead! Cant you be proud if in your resume, you made the biggest fight of the century happened?! What a crap Pres of HBO!

You can expect a crapload more boring ass features (d!ckheads call then "vignettes") talking about how poor Victor Ortiz used to be or Robert Guerrero's wife was sick.

Just so this jerk can go to his next interview and say "look at how i increased women viewership with my fresh bold conceptssssss i'm so creativeeeeee".

Floyd needs to stop with the stunts though.

Like showing his trunks saying he had them prepared for Pacquiao

or calling the guy on the phone with no intention of a serious offer.

Dude, just tell your fans you got no intention, they all think you would have beaten Pac anyway.

The Floyd fans passionately rallied around Floyd with his early 2012 twitter stunt, then he stabbed them in the back the last minute. I dont like *****s, but they should atleast be treated better than that.

The least Floyd could do is respect the people who were hugging on his nuts for the past 3 years

Meanwhile Pacman is a saint, fighting the best out there. Margarito for Margarito's 154lb strap.

Mosley coming off of his career definging win & Marquez at his most comfortable weight. Not only did he beat all three, he beat them half to death, especially Marquez. With compu box & slow motion proveing the severity of the beating, right??

LLS great reply but I just can't do it man the ignore button is such a great tool Bush. I had to use it makes reading the threads much better.

I will never agree with that line of thinking. Nobody should stall what will make them money based on what someone else is doing. You always take what is the biggest available money fight to you at the time if it makes sense and deal with whatever later. What you are talking about is how not to get paid. What sense does it make putting your career on hold for a possible fight when you can have a for sure fight? Line your ducks up and if that opportunity presensts itself great if it doesn't then you not tripping cause you getting money anyway. Don't ever sit on the sidelines looking at another person's pockets when you can get in the game do what you have to do.

I hear what your saying but think you misunderstood me. What im saying is that the biggest fight out there for them money wise is Floyd or Pac & as long as they still don't have opponents they do have a realistic chance of getting that big pay day. We know Floyd & Pac aren't fighting next so both their opponents are going to come from the same shortlist & those fighters aren't signing up to fight each other until Floyd & Pac are locked into other fights. I think we'll see Floyd-Cotto & Pac-Bradley personally next. They will have their ducks lined up but their 1st choice is gonna be Pac or Floyd then if they don't come off they go to the next opponent.

I got what you were saying I just don't agree with that line of thinking. Yes fighting PBF or Manny would be those guys biggest payday but at the sametime you are not garaunteed that payday so I wouldn't wait on those guys. I would rather make money while that is all being sorted out. Those guys are available right now so I see waiting a little. What I was really getting at is that I would never throw off my fighter's schedule waiting around for those guys when you don't know if you will be the one to get that call. Also both PBF and Manny are using those guys against each other to low ball all of them. Cause they can always say you the b-side take this amont and if you don't I will just go on to the next and just because its your biggest payday doesn't mean you are getting what you are worth.
But I always got what you were saying.

dealing with one diva is already very hard...what more with 2?

I hear that. What fights would you like to see next knowing Pac-Floyd isn't happening? Pac-Bradley sounds ok can't see another Marquez fight. Floyd-Cotto at LMW too or Cotto-Alvarez if that doesn't come off then let Peterson-Khan fight again cos they've got unfinished business. I'm English but don't like Khan's attitude & thought it was embarrassing the way he's gone on but he still deserves a rematch & the 1st fight was good I'd like to see them go at it again but part of us thinks Peterson should make Khan wait for the way he's gone on & fight Marquez

Until Floyd understands that this is a 50/50 fight, it will never be made....

I think Bradley vs Manny is a good fight. I would have preferred Martinez pay Macklin step aside money and try to get that fight with PBF. I am really not happy about PBF vs Cotto but it seems like that is what we are getting. PBF really doesn't have options outside of Manny and Martinez where I would be chomping at the bit to see the fight. I think Peterson vs Marquez is decent fight.

I didn't like the way Khan went about things either I actually hated it. I would make him wait just because of that and besides that if I was Peterson I wouldn't trust the judging in an immediate rematch with Khan. Khan vs Ortiz would be good since Berto is out with an injury. They should make that fight. If Ward can comfortably make 164 I would like to see Ward vs Martinez at 164. I am actually looking forward to Froch vs Bute if they can make that happen. Good fights in boxing its just promoters actually need to promote.

Thats the ONLY obstacle?
