Could It Be that they Trolled us all along?banned

I've been saying it, both Floyd/Pac and their teams are milking people like crazy.

Agreed.

After the first negotiations fell through, I don't believe either wanted the fight.

Using each other's names in the media to make crazy money off lesser opposition without having to fight each other and thus (the loser) hurting their earning potential.

Yep............

[Doctor_Tenma]

No, no one is dumb enough to hurt their reputations like that.

[bojangles1987]

Possible? If they make the fight now, it's obvious that's what happened. They've screwed boxing fans for half a decade. No one seems to care.

[Dr Rumack]

Don't think it was intentional trolling, but both sides knew how much the 'rivalry' was raising their profile. They milked it for all it was worth, and never really had enough of an incentive to actually make the fight happen. They could make plenty of money elsewhere and so they did.

bob arum is a slimy individual

I think the boxing public is finally catching on based on both their PPV numbers slipping. No one wants to see Mayweather fight another fighter like Maidana and no one in hell wants to see Pacquiao fight another fighter like Algieri.

[Pigeons]

Yes, Manny fought tougher opponents than Floyd, like Oscar de la Hoya, Ricky Hatton, Miguel Cotto, Shane Mosley, and Juan Manuel Marquez.

Clottey, Margarito, Bradley (2x), Algieri vs. Ortiz, Guerrero, Canelo, Maidana (2x).
