Did Showtime's Jim Gray put the pressure on Floyd post Mayhem?

[MRCHOKEaMF]

I'm one of those people who don't get what he means when he says stuff like that and people are justified in thinking it means he doesn't want the fight.

Maidana has Amir Khan problems and Floyd made no mention of that when it came to fighting Maidana. Granted, people can argue that Maidana really did "win" that fight but Khan ended up getting the decision. But, Floyd also said Pacquiao has Timothy Bradley problems and we all know the story behind that too.

So you admit you dont know what he means, but in another breath you claim it means he doesnt want the fight? Manny pac's promoter before Arum admitted HE wouldnt put Manny in the ring with Floyd because he thought Floyd woud "beat the daylights out of him" so I guess that meant Floyd didnt want the fight, Manny broke his contract with GB and went to arum when they proposed the fight between Manny and Floyd, Manny when he was with Arum refused PED testing to avoid Floyd. (if youre clean whats the problem), then Arum said he needed to build a stadium but fought Clottey in cowboy stadium the very next fight. Then Floyd just called him man 2 man to make the fight and Manny is on a video admitting he wanted more money to fight Floyd. But he would fight him for charity for nothing??? All of this is very incriminating for Manny, but its all TRUE. So it seems its Manny's side doing the dodging. And Roach, Ariza and many others in his camp say ARUM is at fault for this fight not happening.

Sorry friend. But I will not read your response until you edit in some spaces or paragraphs. Thanks

It's kind of ****** to put pressure on a known pu55y when they can't even make Haymon fighters fight each other. Showtime needs to clean up its acts first by making meaningful fights before touching on a fight people know will never happen.

You read it, I just make some indefensible points. All can be verified. And there just arent any comebacks. You dont want Manny to accept demands and I wont accept any either (put some paragraphs and shiii) its one paragraph cause its all the same subject, Regarding the hold-ups preventing fights.

The only hold up is Floyd saying yes...what happened years ago is all you guys keep falling back on...let's look at the present, who wants the fight and who doesn't?

An observation a fellow boxing fan mentioned to me.

During the post fight interview with Mayweather, Showtime's Jim Gray asked Floyd about the possibility of a future fight with Manny Pacquiao. This was interesting because Pacquiao fights for rival network HBO and unless an agreement between the two Networks is in the works, Showtime has no reason or nothing to gain from mentioning an HBO fighter during their own broadcast.

Was this a sign that Showtime and HBO plan to work together and Showtime's Jim Gray was putting Mayweather on the spot?

Of course. Show wants a return on that investment. You really think they're looking forward to paying out another $35 million+ for a sparring match with Devon Alexander or Keith Thurman.

No other reason they would use their air time to call openly call for a fight with a rival network's marquee fighter unless they have been actively pursuing the fight behind the scenes.

Arum has to step aside and just let Mayweather promote the fight, its that simple. Why people still trying to rationalize what needs to happen is pretty slow in the head at this point.

2010 - "Take da test!"
2012 - "No 50/50 split"
2014 - "No Arum"


When are you spazzers going to learn?

I hope to God you're right. Someone has to take control of sht and put their foot down with Floyd. If they are negotiating, I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their lawyers offices to see what demands they're putting on each other.

[SintilatingDTS]

I am pretty sure the CBS (SHO) guys said they were willing to make a deal with HBO for the Pac fight.

um this happened jan 21st of this year, and Pac didnt want the fight cause he wanted more money. These are the words of Pac.
