    April 12th he'll face Bradley or Cotto. I'm fine with either one. Maybe if he wins then he gets Mayweather the next year. The issue is not the network. Manny fought Mosley on Showtime -- did people forget that?? But I don't see Arum wanting to do business with GBP. Plus, Manny isn't negotiating from a position of strength. I strongly suspect most of his last few PPV's have flopped and that's why Arum blocks HBO from releasing #'s then concocts his own. Are they willing to give all that to Floyd/GBP? Doubt it.

        I agree. I honestly do not see how this fight gets made. Too many variables and people wanting their "share" of all the money it would generate. Even if they do agree on weight, ring size, glove size, location, drug testing, the money split will continue to be the stopping point at this time. I do not think either side will ever agree on a good split.

He had a hard time vs zab (a southpaw). Pac will be Floyds worst nightmare. He is 2x of zab. Only reason why the fight hasnt happen. Floyds scared you fkin idiot.
          scared of what you amateur. are you high bytch?!

              I hope that floyd fans will stop condoning that floyd need not fight pac anymore because on paper he is better, we already know this. Please let us not floyd escape this fight, we want to see this as fans, hardcore or not. WE DO NOT WANT THE FIRST SUPERFIGHT OF OUR GENERATION TO EXIST JUST ON OUR MIND. DO NOT BE CONTENTED WITH THIS. We need to see this not virtually but in reality. Stop downgrading pac and push mayweather to fight the man, Because no matter what we say, NO BOXER TODAY IS BETTER TO MATCH FLOYD THAN PAC; EVEN THIS 80% VERSION OF PAC IS BETTER THAN ANYONE AVAILABLE. We as fans has been deceived and waited long enough, let's be vigilant and push this; corner them to fight once and for all!
              This sums up all the boxing fans who really love boxing. Well said.

                So why would HBO even entertain the idea of signing an exclusive contract with Arum if Arum's contractually obligated superstar could fight on a competitor's network whenever he wanted to?

                HBO would essentially have nothing to really gain bu signing any kind of a deal with Arum, they would have signed Manny to the deal, not Arum.

                  Pretty sure Pacquiao-Bradley II will be happening in April.

                  I still expect to see Mayweather-Garcia in May.

                    If somehow the fight gets made, I don't want hear no bs excuses from either fans about Floyd or Manny not being the same fighter a few years back BS...I'm already seeing post about how Manny has slowed down crap...trying to down play that azz whipping. I've seen Pacquiao fans saying all this **** about Floyd ducking Manny and how he needs to grow some ball ect. If the fight gets made you just gonna have to EAT THEM ***** WORDS...Let the Best Man Win!

                      Simple really, just tell your boy to man up! And stopl being a Chicken or a duck or whatever kind of bird with wings he want to be. As what people already know. If I guy wins the guy gets bragging rights. Duh???

                      You flowmos haven't figured that out yet? It's about beating the best out there and come out on top not in fantasy land but in real life.

                      So lets rally your flowmo nation and tell then its for all the glory and all marbles. Winner take all. That's what makes a superfight to find who is better. The ring will tell it.

                      So stop with your whining and constant roadblocks let's make this happen.
