    None. There's nothing either of them can do until Pac's contract is up. When that happens, if Pac signs with TR again, then that would be the final nail in the coffin.

      With that logic, if we're taking Floyd's own words, he's his own promoter and doesn't want to work with Bob Arum. So if you're going to acknowledge one thing, acknowledge the rest.

        Both May and Pac seem fine with not fighting each other and neither seem in a rush to make this fight. due to Pacs recent Monetary issues and his lack of PPV draw you would imagine he probably needs this fight more.

        Shane Moseley really wanted the floyd fight so much so he entered the ring after the JMM fight to stir up so hype and intrest, i believe the fight would not of happened if Shane didnt do that. after maragarito he was avoided for 12 months, Pacqiuao had a chance to fight him, am while im sure he would of done, his camp/promotors refused to make the fight even with an 80/20 split in pacs favour. Until floyd eventually fought him Shane was being avoided despite how vocal he was about wanting to fight everyone!

        my question is this, if Pac really, really wants this fight should he drop his nice guy persona and enter the ring after floyds next fight to stir up some intrest? frankly i think the may vs pac buzz has died down a lot. infact i think there is more competitive and bigger fights out for floyd, maybe less so for pacqiuao.

        Like Floyd said he is the man all roads lead through Gloyx

        like with Ali vs Liston, Leornard vs Haggler and with Shane vs Floyd, sometimes to create a fight the challenger/ underdog has to do a lot of work to make it happen, so is it floyd or mannys responsibility to make it happen??.

        In my opinion its Pacs, he is less of a draw, is lower P4P and arguably needs this fight more.
        Like Floyd says all roads lead through Floyd he has the highest PPv numbers. Floyd can make any fight happen if he wants. No matter the promoter or network. If Floyd really wanted it Golden Boy and HBO/Show time would be on board.

          Floyd Mayweather Jr. is fighting Amir Khan next. Showtime will hype the fight. ****** fans will watch the fight. Floyd will win by a unanimous decision and on to the next easy fight. Rinse and repeat.

          Floyd doesn't care about the fans. Move on.

              It's not about testing. It's not about Arum.
              It's not about money. It's about balls. Lack of balls.
              Ducks need to stop polluting this sport.
              They should just retire for good.

                The TV networks control everything. They will decide if this happens or not.

                  im not a big bob arum fan, pac is bigger than top rank he should leave and make this fight happen? im still annoyed at arum ruining the bantamweight tournament by failing to have Mares v Donaire. It seems that arum is happy to have his fighters fight less competitive fights and fight other top rank opponents so whoever wins, he does.

                  to be fair to floyd he would IMO make any fight he never dodged anyone on the way up. the fight would be made if Arum would let Mayweather promote the fight, that i believe is the main stumbling block

                    It takes 2 to make a fight that's all Ima say on this.

                      Who was PAC's promoter in 09? I'm new so I don't know.
