Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[AgainstTheRopes]

Both camps are at the point of no return. If Mayweather wants to fight so badly on May 2nd that he walks away with a deal with Pacquiao that wouldnt happen for another week at least. At that point it would be next to impossible to get another opponent, do the promotion, and have a full training camp by May 2nd.

hopefully just bad intel by Smith- He also said last week that if a deal wasn't struck by sunday (2/15) there would be no fight

Arum ruining the fight....

[Pigeons]

On Obese Dan's chat someone asked him if he felt the need to apologize for reporting falsehoods like "Pacquiao has signed the contract" 2 weeks ago.

Dan said "No, I reported what the Pacquiao side told me". What a fucking pawn. This obese bastard gets used in Top Rank's media smear campaign against Mayweather and he doesn't care.

A true Pactard. Obese POS.

@KevinI Stephen A Smith mentioned that there still may be a lingering dispute over which date the fight would be held. (https://twitter.com/NorCalBoxingFan/...473157632?s=17)

Not really Pac vs Floyd question

Has Pacquiao really had that much trouble fighting traditional boxers? Is it just me or are the guys that really gave him trouble (Marquez, Morales) did so by countering during exchanges? These guys didn't stick and move, they didn't dance behind a jab or pot-shot, they timed Pac coming in and made him pay for being aggressive.

I dunno, it just seems the guys that took the textbook boxer approach either flat out got beat (Barrerra, Ledwaba) or did it just to survive (Mosley, Bradley).

IMO, due to his aggressiveness and unorthodox style, you have to fight Pac to beat him, not box.

LMAO

I can see it already.

Flodmos saying "Whats wrong with May 2 doe?"

*******s saying "What wrong with better promotion doe"

This fight hardly needs promotion. That's what makes it so effin amazing.

If Floyd announces anything other than Pacquiao at this point, the backlash would tremendous and he has to know that. This thing is done and Floyd is gonna make us wait till his birthday again.

I remember last month when he heard strong chatter that Mayweather-Cotto was happening

So the date is agreed on?

So the date is agreed on?

Iole actually covers this sport day in and day out along with the MMA. Stephen A seems to be going info from 2-3 weeks ago. He's wrong.

It's agreed on. If the Pacquiao camp pulls NOW with that excuse.... Manny may as well retire.
