Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[MrRolltide91]

I dont really buy it. I doubt anyone is focused on the undercard and if they were it wouldnt be Rosado who probably doesn't even consider merit to be on the undercard.

Maybe they wouldn't have any money left for the undercard fighters

I guess we could get a J'Leon Love vs Rosado rematch since Floyd usually wants one of his guys on the undercard and that was a pretty good scrap the first time.

The same guy also said he just checked with his 'sources' and that it will be announced during the superbowl. But yeah, not good enough to get excited over.

The undercard will be bad if the event happens, who cares anyway.

Relax about this is there contract, isnt there a Manny-Floyd contract. There***39;s a deal memo. IF pts agreed to then it goes to full contract.

So is there TECHNICALLY a Floyd-Manny contract? No. Is there paperwork going back/forth between sides trying to finalize it? ABSOLUTELY yes.

Deal memo basically pt by pt of major stuff. IF they agree the lawyers put it in all official lingo w/ all details in a longform agreement.

and by the time all that's done, it'll be March and both have found other fights


for such a megafight, seems like they're slow playing this a bit too much

I think they would be able to go ahead with announcing the fight even if the final contract itself hasnt been signed yet.

Sounds like a done deal.

Yeah it definitely does doesn't it? WOW i would be more than shocked if this gets announced. I will be popping bottles as they say.

And how long this supposed to take?

Idk, but Dan makes it sound like they are right there. I wonder if they are creating this smokescreen so Floyd can still announce it on his twitter.

This is like the NFL/NBA/NHL talks to avert a strike just before the deadline…then the strike happens…fans vow to never watch a game again…then next opening day…stadiums packed!

The little man is but a pawn to be toyed with!
