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

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.

I'd love to see Floyd-Martinez take place at MW. Khan-Ortiz is a good fight to be made don't think Khan would want any part of that at the moment. I agree with the scoring for Peterson-Khan especially if it happened in Vegas. There's been so much controversy over the scoring of the 1st fight I think it would work in Khan's favour. Too much has been taken away from that fight by Khan & his team. alot of people forget that it was a great fight that was close & could have gone either way. Khan has never really given Peterson credit for his performance. Think Ward could be too big for martinez personally. He was awesome against Froch. My heart wanted Froch to pull off the win but my head always said Ward. Got to love Froch's fighting spirit & willingness to take anyone on. Froch-Bute could be a fantastic fight I hope it happens. You a team Floyd or team Pac or you like me? I'm just a huge fan of both & just want to see them in the ring together. To be honest I think Floyd wins all day

Boxing will live on whether they fight or not. **** all that money talk bullshi.t. What they are doing is preparing for a life without them fighting and everyone else should follow suit. Its not happening and Mayweather did everything much better than Manny. Case closed.

Boxing will live with or without that fight. In all honesty, I don't think its that good of a fight. There are so many fights that could be made that are better the May vs Pac. I'm over it and have been for a while. Fans will be disappointed if the fight ever happens. There has been so much hype surrounding this fight, it won't live up to it.

Fans wanna see the ****ing fight. This is evidenced by the fact that 95% of boxing conversation (on messageboards, blogs, espn, MSM) centers around this fight.

HBO Prez ought to justify his multi-million dollar salary by working day and night, 25/8 to make this fight happen. Nobody cares about his dumb-ass "fresh ideas". He should work on make this fight otherwise he should just STFU.

I liked it when he worked at Showtime the guy is going to do a good job at HBO.

It's not that both are avoiding each other, It's very clear that Floyd is the one avoiding Pac by his ridiculous demands which prize himself out of the fight

Both are to blame in my opinion. I love both fighters but this soap opera is just ridiculous. I dont think Floyd has an reason to avoid Pac. I love Pac & would love to see him win should they fight but think Floyd would win a wide UD

I went to Ward vs Froch and loved it! I am a big PBF fan but can admit that he has some faults at his feet for the fight not being made. Both sides have so much BS with them that it is crazy for people to act like only one side is to blame for the fight not being made. I am for sure a boxing fan but I will be rooting for PBF if the fight ever gets made which I am truly doubting at this time.
