Honestly, I think this is just more of the same that's happened in the past. Give it lip service. If Manny REALLY wanted the fight, he would've at the very least explored free agency. I didn't say become a free agent, but at least explore his options. He didn't bother, knowing that could be the death knell for the fight with Floyd, while also knowing that we would be stuck with fights like Pac /Algieri/Alvarado/JMM5. How can ANYONE defend that? Floyd made a decision to move on fight for the lineal title, then ODH and becomes the face of boxing, and people still scream that he ducked Margarito. Pac doesn't bother even exploring his option, but he SAYS he wants the fight, so that means he does and he gets a pass!
Pacquiao maintains 'serious talks' ongoing for Floyd bout

You know what's funny I originally thought Floyd would have a better chance if he waited a couple of years but now that a couple of years has passed It looks better for Pac. Floyd has been looking much more vulnerable then Pac minus the Roidquez lucky punch lol
If the fight gets made in 2015 Manny's going to have one hellava shot at dethroning Floyd. He should have took the fight when he first had the chance.Comment

Damed if I know what your looking at , Manny has been stopped , boxed a stationary b grade Rios , fighting another lower division nobody while Floyd dominates Canelo and beats Maidana , for crying out loud put Manny in with a live WW JMW and see what happens .You know what's funny I originally thought Floyd would have a better chance if he waited a couple of years but now that a couple of years has passed It looks better for Pac. Floyd has been looking much more vulnerable then Pac minus the Roidquez lucky punch lol

Well he does have the worst fan base in all of sports. They literally have to convince themselves that their hero isn't afraid of Pacquiao. That's why they bring up incidents that occurred 5 years ago and think they're proving a "point".Comment

CBS is really who to go to but who is Arum to really talk to them he hasn't been doing business with them and actively has been bad mouthing their product.
Arum talking to HBO then HBO reaching out to CBS/Showtime is probably the wisest route with maybe HBO making up with Haymon a bit to help grease the wheels.
Both have fights lined up, if both win and they are working on it in December or January then maybe there is something to it.Comment

I've been saying it for years, Manny could say the moon is made of cheese and we'd have 50 threads about how the lunar landing was a hoax.Comment
