Actual specific details about the network agreements they made last night. Sounds promising but at the end Espinoza mentioned whether they could come to an agreement- which I dont know what he meant. Is there still some other issues?

Well they aren't going to come out and say its everything is wrapped up in some small article. Floyd will want to announce it on his twitter, or some announcement super bowl related. I'm not saying there aren't any open issues, but stephen wouldn't admit it even if there weren't.

can you guys imagine; after all this..they finally get the two fighters to agree..and it's the networks that **** it up?

Man, if the reason why this fight doesn't happen is because of Jim f'ng Lampley, that would be the most infuriating and most hilarious thing at the same time.

Skip Bayless, Arum, Pac Boy, Check_hooks would still blame Floyd. Lol

GMA News TV (Philippines) just finished a telephone interview with Pac,
after Mayweather went to the hotel Pac was staying at.

Pac said there are no issues of contention left to hold up the fight, but
refused to answer the newscaster's question re a May 2(?) fight date.

I think they're planning a very special announcement of some kind.... Can't wait.

Excited for this fight! Get it done! And put Khan-Bradley on the undercard!

The Jim Lampley thing is just something that Dan Rafael assumed was an issue. No one has specifically confirm that Floyd is having problems with Lampley being involved. This is why i dislike, Dan. I don't think Koncz told him anything in specific details about what issues Floyd had with HBO. He just gave his own biased opinion about what he thinks the issues were about and some fans will accept what he said as the truth even though he admitted he just guessed that's what the issues were about.

No, not at all. I said this before in a thread three months ago, i'd pay 200.
