They better be able to pay up front before the fight like what happened when Shane Mosley fought Mundine.

THATS ALOT OF DOUGH!!! Im sure the UAE will stand to profit off a big chunk of the PPV if Bob and more importantly Floyd take the offer. They (floyd and bob) would have to agree to the fight first. Floyd would stand to recieve a 110mill guarantee while Bobs guarantee would be im guessing 60-70 mill..floyd rake in $200 mill, bob 100mill, & Pac...30mill tops

On a serious note i think floyd declines and covers Pacs guarantee, showtime will cover floyds 32 mill with Mayweather promotions putting up the additional money to stage the entire card and taking yhe bulk of PPV-tjey would stand to benefit from the bulk of everything (gate, seats, & ppv) this way

akbar doesn't seem to get it, mayweather's not fighting pac for any amount of money. floyd's already made it clear that he's robbed the fans of this generations superfight. this generation wont experience the ali/frazier, duran/leonard kind of atmosphere because people still keep paying fmj for mediocre fights.

If this fight does get made I'm going to invite Amir around to watch it on sky box office and watch him get pissed. You think he don't drink ...he will that night ....will post photo's !

Amir is a raging alcoholic don't let his religion fool you, he mowed down and killed some pedestrian in his sportscar and was probably dressed like this



He's suddenly haram and giving a dorky thumbs up when someone whips out a camera

[Weebler I]

The man himself is for real and his been around boxing for donkey's years, but the whole UAE investment group thing is about as credible as Trotters Independent Traders bringing the fight to Peckham.

Here's an article from him in 2011 giving the same patter - http://www.examiner.com/article/boxi...s-mosley-fight

oh a black guy from Dallas, I was thinking it would be some Sheikh from Dubai

It seems that I'm not the only one who hates Arum:

Freddie Roach Put Pacquiao-Mayweather Talks in Motion

November 23, 2014:

Few tell Mayweather what to do, but Moonves’ prior lucrative backing has to count for something if the executive feels compelled to ask Mayweather to give the Pacquiao fight stronger consideration than he ever has.

Sources close to Mayweather have said the unbeaten fighter has never wanted the Pacquiao bout more than he does now.

Pacquiao is pushing for the bout, from his new Foot Locker ad to his bending in purse-split percentages. He told The Times Friday he’s willing to accept the fight at terms the Mayweather side has told The Times will be required to make the fight happen.

Following a Pacquiao-Algieri worldwide publicity tour, Roach said he urged Moonves to meet with Arum at the promoter’s Beverly Hills home.

“They didn’t like each other,” Roach said of a strain that dated to Pacquiao’s return to HBO after fighting one bout on Showtime in 2011. “Bob promised [Moonves] three fights … and only gave him one. … [Moonves] actually told me, ‘I’m not dealing with the devil.’ ”

“I kind of sneakily put them together, about four months ago. I knew it was risky. … [Moonves] wanted to make the fight without Bob and I said, ‘That’s not going to happen, you’ve got to bring him in.’ They walked out of that meeting with their arms around each other, happy.”

Let's hope this is it!
