Originally posted by The Big Dunn View Postwhat Floyd says to the media in interviews has no bearing on Manny's actions. I explained the primary reasons why the fight hasn't happened.

Lets hope the fight gets made. nice chatting with you today.
When asked about a fight with Pacquiao, 35, of General Santos City, Philippines, the undefeated five-division champion echoed a familiar tune - it***8217;s my way or the highway.
"If the Pacquiao fight does happen it has to happen on Showtime pay-per-view only and Mayweather Promotions have to do the fight,***8221; said Mayweather

Originally posted by Deevel916 View PostYes because Moonves has more power over Pacquiao than Pac's own promoter.
Do you really think Arum and HBO are going to let Pacquiao fight on Showtime without any of them being involved? LOL. Please don't tell me you're that naïve.
If Arum doesn't take step aside money they will hopefully make a deal for the fight.

Originally posted by The Big Dunn View Postyou mean like Manny's request to defend WW title at CW's against JMM and Algieiri or do you mean his request for a CW when he won the title?
either way, its no different. you only see a difference because you are creating an excuse for Manny's actions.
Its all kinds of different, its obvious. In one case you have a guy that doesnt know if he can handle the weight, going up. If youre a champ, you better be able to handle it. No wonder its so rare to have champs requesting cws vs divisional opponents.

Originally posted by The Big Dunn View PostI don't know, probably just making fun of Manny and the fact that all the things Manny and his fans call "roadblocks", including signing to a different promoter, never prevented these 4 fights from happening.
Stop playing dumb like evol. Giving arum step aside money has nothing to do with HBo letting him fight on showtime. Its been reported that they are discussing a shared network broadcast.
If Arum doesn't take step aside money they will hopefully make a deal for the fight.

If Bob Arum who is Pacquiao's promoter insists on being involved in his fighters fight, there's nothing Moonves can do about it despite what kind of step aside money is thrown at him.
So if Bob doesn't take step aside money, they will try tocraft a deal. Last I saw, Floyd and his team said Floyd wanted 66% of the ppv revenue given Pac's dismal PPVsales from the algieiri sparring session.
This is a SIGNIFICANT concession on Floyd's part as he personally called Manny and offered 0 ppv revenue.
