Why not? Its not like we gain something as fans if they don't fight. It was reported a while back that floyd hired a soutpaw sparring partner. Now this that pacquiao is looking for a sparring partner, even tho "I heard"... and then that instagram thing of pacquiao saying "spending time with family before training for "the fight". Why would he say specifically, "the fight"? Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I still think the fight is going to happen this may.

Sorry, mate. I don't doubt the validity of the report of Pac hiring a sparring partner...It is just the validity of someone posting a "breaking news" video where the breaking news is that they "heard"...a report we all heard a week or so ago...that's all....still hopeful the fight happens as well...

Hearing that things are looking very good for Mayweather-Pacquiao, as of this moment. Those involved are optimistic #boxing

Mayweather wants to fight May 2nd no matter what. Its starting to cut close and needs to get done within the next 10 days. Then spend a few days on a press tour- they mentioned only a couple cities- and film commercials and other promotional stuff. Should take them to the end of the month and have a full 8 week camp.

Absolutely nothing new added to the conversation in that article other than his opinion.

Good read. Although he titles it Mayweather is the biggest obstacle to the fight, he ends with saying Mayweather is really just making everyone wait until he decides he wants to announce the fight.

It's as if Iole went to one of NSB's threads and synthesized the debates and then wrote this article.
