Shiette the other 1 forum I am on is called neogaf they started a campaign that made one of the biggest companies in the world change their policies because people went ballistic.....boxing fans need to unite and b*tch together
    I agree....if we stop paying for these overpriced sparring matches and email HBO and Showtime telling them what we want, the fight will happen. Money makes the world go around and it will make Floyd fight Pac too.

      Yes he has a right to retire, but these last fights are important so he better make sure he takes the time to decide who that is.

      If he wants to just make sure he wins the fight and leaves with a zero that's one thing. But if he wants to make sure he left it all in the ring that's another thing.
      If he has to potential to beat GGG or Sergio at 160, why not? If Floyd truly believes he can do it. His history makes us think he cant, but Floyd needs to stop creating uncertainty and confusing people with how good he thinks he is.
      If you can beat GGG or Serio but don't take the fight then you aren't reaching your full potential and Floyd owes it to himself and his fans to reach his latent potential.
      If he fails, at least he tried. But Floyd don't work like that and we have to deal with reality.

        When does anyone have to deserve a fight with Mayweather?
        When PAC was P4P#1, rated #1 at WW and arguably equal to Floyd in drawing power, he never got the fight.

        Just enjoy the Khan fight, which is none of the above. Hypocrites.

          All we have to do is not buy the Khan fight and watch how fast Showtime goes scrambling to get the Pacquaio fight made..if Guerrero lost them $12 million imagine if Khan loses them $25....
          Money talks, and we need to not spend ours on Mediocre fights whether its Floyd or Manny fighting.

            The difference is that Marquez had fought Manny four times so he knew him well enough to be able to make a competitive fight out of it at any weight, but Marquez is not competitive at 147 plain and simple and he's 40 so he's way passed his prime I don't care what happened in the Manny fight. Bradley only has that belt because of the robbery that went down in the Manny fight and the gift decision he got in the Provodnikov fight so it's irrelevant and I don't even know why you brought that up. As far as pound for pound rankings, everyone knows they are a matter of opinion so that's irrelevant too.

              Agree with everything except Bradley won that Provo fight. Only rounds Provo won were the ones he rocked Bradley. Every other round Bradley clearly won and there weren't any close rounds to score IMO. 115-113 Bradley.

                Maybe Floyd does not like to fight a black fighter in his prime (like Paul Williams when he was prime.)

                Blood got it right.

                  Very true but and I have actually written to people emails that I'm sure nobody read, but you can ignore just so many people. Doesnt even really matter what people do, but just complain however and whenever you can with your wallet on reddit, it dont even matter just anytime you get a chance or when someone brings it up to you.This is not even only a Pac vs Floyd fight thing this is an issue that transcends both guys if we just resign ourselves to this crap then it will stay like that for God knows how long anybody who calls themselves a boxing fan has to hate this network/promotional cold war horse****.

                    You want to make a bet if Bradley fights Provod again? I will bet you that Bradley beats Pac again too....just as JMM got better with each Pac fight, Tim will do the same.

                      Bradley is a good fighter but he was barely competitive in that fight. Not saying he can't beat Manny next time but Marquez went toe to toe for 42 rounds before Knocking Manny out. Bradley, not so much.
