Pacquiao and Top Rank agree to two year deal extension, mayweather fight dead

[Boxfan7819]

Who cares this fight has been long past due they are both past their prime

Unconfirmed reports = rumors = lies.

This is total bullshjt that comes from third hand sources. There have been at least a dozen "unconfirmed reports" over the last four years that a Mayweather/Pacquaio fight had been signed or agreed to. They were all lies.This is a lie too. I knew that when I saw the figure of $75 million.

I don't believe it, but if true, I would bet that Bob Arum included a Mayweather fight in the contract figure of $75 million. The damn fool could make $50 to million in one fight with Mayweather.

I gave up hope of this fight happening 4 years ago. It was supposed to happen in 2009 ffs. It will never happen. And it's both of their fault. Neither guy for one reason or another wanted to make it happen.

Poor Manny.................

When they know the situation and do the opposite, even when it's most likely to their detriment, yes, it's a duck. I guarantee if the rolls were reversed and Floyd did what they did, you would be crying DUCK!

How many other fighters have demanded a potential opponent leave their promoter to get a fight? I can't think of any. Why is this? Because it's an unreasonable demand. It's only one of many:

• Floyd wants Manny to take a drug test.
  
• Floyd wants Manny to accept less than 50% of the purse.
  
• Floyd wants $100 million for fighting Manny
  
• Floyd wants Manny to avenge his losses to Bradley and Marquez.
  
• Floyd, as we've mentioned, wants Manny to leave Bob Arum.
  
• Floyd wants Manny to fight for his promotional company.

The writing is on the wall.

Uhhh, did you expect him to leave Arum who he's been with for the past decade? Their was a small chance that he was NOT going to resign with Top Rank. We all know he is loyal. Didnt bradley just resign??? The floyd fight would have NEVER HAPPENED people.... didnt floyd ALREADY change the tune to "hes fighting me just for taxes" ..... Come on people it never happend whne they were BOTH on HBO and it will NEVER HAPPEN...

Pacquaio could make just as much money being independent and fighting GBP fighters that don't include Mayweather as he has made fighting under Top Rank and he could actually make more because he would not have to guarantee GBP 27 percent of his purse. A Mayweather fight would allow him to make triple the amount he would make under Top Rank in the next two years.

I can't understand how these two skated around this fight for 6 years. All the money to be had...I just can't understand it.

This would have not been acceptable in the Golden Era.

Bwahaha. Funny you don't hold manny accountable for walking away after getting everything he asked for and accepting ost

Last several times I checked, Floyd has NEVER done OST! Bwahaha

Manny accepted extra testing even in the first negotiations and they got as close as 10 days apart on the cutoffs. More than anyone would have accepted considering Floyd threw Manny under the bus and told the world a lie that he knew that Manny was taking PEDs with no proof.

When Floyd's people went to court, they couldn't provide the proof .... oh well, another lie from Floyd that some of his fans believed in. Bwahaha

No fighter has demanded it because no fighter was in position to demand it. However, Bob Arum, a promoter, demanded it of Timothy Bradley, Juan Manuel Marquez and Shane Mosley and I haven't seen a negative word from you or anyone else about that. In your eyes, nothing is unreasonable unless it comes from Floyd Mayweather.:*******:
