Good move Bob. Anyone but Floyd.

Yep. Floyd made himself irrelevant.

[QUOTE=richardt;12595295]

why does floyd need to indicate his plans? QUOTE]WHY NOT??? People are trying to blame Arum for trying to line up a Rios/Alvarado fight as a POSSIBILITY yet Floyd has not indicated his plans. Not a damn thing wrong with clarification by Mayweather what he plans to do.

richardt come on man. People are mad because this is a repetitive pattern. Last time Bob was supposedly moving toward floyd/manny, only Margarito spilled the beans he was promised the manny fight in February.

As for floyds plans, the outcomes of cotto/trout and manny/jmm directly impact those plans. why would anyone in floyd's position announce plans prior to this?

how manny can make a plan for April 20th before the outcome of the JMM fight is decided? This year alone we've seen fights go up in smoke because fighters made plans too early and lost. ALso, like this year, manny could get cut or Bob could be building a mega stadium (haha).

Isn't there too much uncertainty right now, assuming they involve cotto or manny, to make plans?

Yep. Floyd made himself irrelevant.

yet you post about him 12-15 times a day.

Do you need links showing how many times Pac has indicated that he wants to fight Floyd??? Did you NOT see where Floyd called Pac and offered him less money???? Did you NOT know Pac is willing to accept less???

Did Manny have a fight lined up already when he said these things? Has Manny said something only to then FlipFlop when it was time to sign?

Regarding OST
Team Pac: "Anytime, anywhere"....then later when it was time to sign, I need 24days...

Regarding Split:
Team Pac: I would take less....then later at May 5th oppurtinity..Oh Manny deserves 50/50 and we need a new stadium, oh and Manny's cut needs healing....

[The Big Dunn]

Since when did the Boxing Biz work that way????????? Guess you never heard of fights being discussed for a fighter who has one scheduled? Did Pac Sign to fight the winner of Rios/Alvarado? NO! Are they even negotating? NO! So what the *** is your damage??!!

you don't know what is going on. ANd , with all due respect, given that what we know about Bob making fights, its completely plausible that Rios has been told win and you get Manny. this is EXACTLY what Margarito said Bob told him in February then bob spent may and June posting that countdown clock on TR's website.

At some point dude you can't just keep acting like manny and bob haven't done this in the past. If you want to blame floyd or don't like floyd fine. But at least be honest about how Bob conducts his business. its how he's been so successful.

Yep. Floyd made himself irrelevant.

Yet outsells Pac on every paper view and is Ranked higher!!! Floyd is sure irrelevant bwhahahah....

[Kilrain]

Slimy Bob up to his old tricks again... Seriously, are they ever going to legitimately try and make the Mayweather fight? I know Floyd is totally unreasonable in negotiations, but come on, at least try and work it out. Arum seems to have been saying "Next year it's possible" for the last 3 years. Alvarado and Rios are not in the same league as Manny - they aren't in the same league as Tim Bradley, even.

Floyd is supposed to announce his next fight. What the hell happened?

Pac has a fight in December. It's Floyd's turn to pick his separate fight. Then if Floyd wants Pac, he can talk about it after their respective fights are over.

Maynever needs to go through another war just like Pac will on December.

or he could wait until the cotto/trout and manny/jmm fights are over and decide. when you make $40 mil in one night you can afford to fight less frequently. why does that bother you?

Truth is EVERY fighter wishes they could earn enough so they do not have to fight so frequently.

[Imatroll]

What's wrong with PAC fighting the rios/Alvarado winner? That fight would be explosive, make it happen

[maguirre]

Clowns in this site are unbelievable. They can't make up their minds. What has happened to the "Pacquiao is done" talks? That he's slowing down; he's no longer in his prime; he's no longer in the top P4P? What happened to all that?

Pac is back to being a monster again and can take on Klitschko.
