Comments Thread For: Mayweather vs. Pacquiao: WBC Pleads For The Fight

What happened to the Investors, somebody come and make a offer they can't refuse

[LouIE G]

I think Floyds May surprise is a Mexican fighter on the under card (Marquez? Chavez Jr.?) still don't know what their contract situations are like but that is the best thing he could do to keep that date, and force HBO to move the fight. Or he could just offer Cotto more money they what will they do?

It could be, or a khan fight in england is also possible...i think cotto right now is stuck on a canelo fight rather then a rematch with floyd, but this is the theatre of the unexpected so anytjing is possible.

As long as Floyd is getting 60-70 mil from showtime for fighting guerrero and maidana, Floyd will not fight pac unless it's under his absolute terms (Which I think aren't as bad as purple makes it seem). I say this fight happens may of 2016 after Floyd's contract with showtime is done on hbo network.

if arum will work with floyd but floyd won't work with arum that makes it floyd's fault.

You can't say you are willing to work with the guy and then compare him to Hitler lol. Just google the comments Arum has made about Floyd recently and then tell me if you think he is serious. Like Ariza keeps saying if Floyd fought Manny than Manny would see how much he really should be making (there is a reason why he wanted to bring in his own accountants, and has had tax problems).

This happened this year. The fight is never happening as much as we all want as long as Arum is in the picture.

Kinda hard when Team Pacquiao countered that offer with $50 mill guaranteed for Floyd and 55-45 ppv split for the winner and all they heard was crickets

:AOR:

Offer was out tumbleweeds began to emerge in the silence.

How is cotto stuck? He had a 2 fight deal work HBO (rodriguez and Martinez) and is a free agent free to work worth whomever he wants

[Cinci Champ]

its beyond obvious both sides have had a wink wink agreement on when to do this fight

The reason Floyd won't work with Arum is that he knows Arum is a witty old when it comes to business. Floyd won't be able to manipulate the opponent with his diva demands. Catch weights, gloves and all that ****.

I meant he really wants the canelo fight...hes co promoted by top rank but thats a non issue in negotiations for a canelo fight.

Will Pacquiao be able to use his Cleto Reyes gloves?
