Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[Pigeons]

I don't think people realize how sensitive the nature of these talks are. I hope this doesn't blow up in everyone's face.

he did too, you can see at another point in the round where Floyd checks his left glove, Maidana might've had a go then too.

Anyway:

I would have bit the pos too....he was clearly rubbing his glove over Maidana mouth which is blatantly illegal so he paid for it...but Floyd acting like abig puss is like an nba flop....poor *****.

Since I am only hesring negative comments from floyd\showtime camp, I say **** them....tell everyone what the issues are and put pressure on the entity that is holding it up....this thing falls through! we are gonna get a year of hearing the real story ...****ing unbelievable....

That was about as emphatic as it could be, and it confirmed what numerous sources have told Yahoo Sports.There are substantial issues to be resolved between both Showtime, which has Mayweather under contract, and HBO, which has an exclusive deal with Pacquiao. One source said an impasse in those talks is HBO's insistence on being able to show the replay of the pay-per-view. When the networks worked out a deal in 2002 to broadcast the Mike Tyson-Lennox Lewis fight, they agreed to give the replay to the network of the fighter who won. Lewis stopped Tyson and so HBO showed the replay.

But accourding to a source with knowledge of the situation, that issue has yet to be resolved for a potential Pacquiao-Mayweather fight.

There also remain issues on the promotional end of the deal, though it is not entirely clear what those issues are exactly.

But much work remains to be done, according to persons involved in the talks on both sides, and*the earliest at best an announcement could come would be late in the coming week.More likely, if the fight is made, talks will spill over into the middle of the following week.

Many of the terms have been agreed upon, including a split feed of the bout in which both Showtime and HBO talent would be involved. The fight is being targeted for May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas.

Kind of running out of time for May if Floyd is going on tour. Fighters usually do a 12 week camp don't they?
