one lil man that hood **** are afraid to fight with.

I didn't feel like reading over 32 pages of this ****. But what Manny has done in the sport of boxing. He deserves the right to fight Floyd. What makes Ortiz. Cotto. Alvarez. Guerrero much more deserving? Heck Bradley even deserves a shot over khan. Its plain to see that tmt is ducking Manny and Bradley. Khan doesn't have the cRedentials like Pac and Bradley do. Stop the ducking and give the fans what they want see. Best vs the best!

Manny has lost a lot of mojo. Can't see him taking $10-$20m to make the fight happen and can't see Arum showing recent PPV #'s to justify Manny making more than that.

[Sugar Adam Ali]

So how do they realistically make the fight happen?

It can happen

tito was don king on showtime, oscar was bob arum and HBO

same thing with lennox and tyson,,,


This fight makes too much money for it not to happen,, Floyd waited out manny much like SRL did to hagler
Floyd cant wait around any longer because manny was already lost and been iced,,,

Ideally floyd would fight khan and garcia in 2014, while manny fights bradley and jmm and beats both for redemption,,

then may 2015 you make floyd-manny just like they did with lennox-tyson

I think the purse split should be 60/40 floyd unless manny ko's jmm and bradley and really has his hype back, then make it 55/45 for floyd

I also believe that floyd can opt out of showtime contract at anytime, so if need be he would just opt out, and go back to HBO for the manny fight..


The thing to remember is that floyd is all out of ppv caliber opponents, he has no more oscar, hatton, cotto, shane, canelo,,, Manny is the only one that could bring blockbuster type sales, fighting khan, garcia, bradley, wont make anywhere near the type of money that manny-floyd does


This fight can happen and it will happen in 2015 or sooner,,, Too much $$$$

Tito joined HBO before that fight happened.

And Lewis-Tyson was a **** show. Don't see a similar model taking place.

Too much money at stake,,, It will happen and it will still break records and everyone involved will make great sums of money,,,


Money rules the world, and it will be the primary reason this fight gets made

[hitking]

True. Its no different from GGG v floyd. they know the obstacles but would ather say scared, duck, blah blah blah.

There is going to have to be some give. I hope floyd makes a bettr offer. I hope manny doesn't refuse again. Then get this thing made.

To me it boils down to who wants it more. Right now, Floyd is in the driver's seat at the moment. So Pac is likely gonna have to be the one to play ball. And the first thing that's gonna have to happen is that Arum isn't gonna be involved in this promotion. So Pac is gonna either on his own negotiate a one fight release from his TR contract. Or, go to Showtime, GBP, and Floyd and have them buy him out. If he's not wiling to do that. This entire subject is moot because the fight isn't gonna happen with Arum being apart of it.

We said that four years ago. Only way it happens is if Manny goes to Showtime. BTW, he's fought there before.

It's not just pinoys bro. Everybody is saying Floyd's scared from pinoys, pr's, mex, europeans, etc.....

OK, first of all I'm legitimately tired of all the "Floyd's scared", "Manny won't take the test", "Arun's blocking the fight" bull****. its ******. Its childish. And its old. I'm seriously trying to see what solutions fight fans have to all of the promotional and network roadblocks that are in the way.

Now, you say Arum and Pac have shown interest. Of course, one can easily counter that by saying they've shown false interest in the past while already having Pac's next fight lined up. And the same can be said this time because they announced a fight date that makes it impossible to fight Floyd next. But I don't care about that. Assuming both sides are interested. How do they work through all the promotional and network drama?

Bro Floyd goes to Showtime and tell him to make the ****ing fight! Simple. He's damn near calling all the shots over there with Haymon. If he wants it done, it can get done. The date of April is just in case that they can't get Floyd. And it gets thrown out of the window for a fight with Floyd.
