It's hilarious that Espinoza said the same thing about about not talking about negotiations publicly because it'll hurt the negotiations

Talking about sensitive negotiations hurts the process more than it helps. Consider that when you observe who talks & who doesn***39;t.

but he's the guy who put this out publically recently.

Stop. Offered him $40M plus big upside and he passed. He doesn***39;t want it. "@wangpocum: pic.twitter.com/4fA25MvB7s"

It seems nobody can make the fight. Solution: Have an arbitrator settle the % regarding the fighters, just like they with contracts in baseball. Arbitrators decision final. That of course leaves HBO and Showtime to work out who gets the fight. Lewis Tyson scenario.

HBO has all the cards

Even if Floyd ducks Pacquiao again, HBO will still dominate anything SHO has to offer

14 of the top 16 most watched fights were on HBO this year. And they just did 48 million homes in China. HBO ain't worried about nothing

HBO is in china now?

[Robbie Barrett]

hahahahaha, who's the idiot now?

You. That's to show HBO made shows like Game of Thrones. They don't have an HBO channel.

If both exec's are keeping their mouth shut and saying it's best not to go into anything, I feel like it is a good sign that it's closer to being made. Usually you have espinoza b*tching on Twitter but it seems over the recent weeks he has been quiet. Maybe they know they will have to be working with each other soon. Glad Les Mooves stepped in. Without him, nothing would have progressed.

and that's through an online streaming site to say there are 48millon HBO subscribers in china its fing moronic. china is a Communist country every media outlet is controlled by the government.

See that floidiots, just because some idiot named Rick Glaser says Manny algieri only did a little more than 300k, doesn't make it true. He also said Floyd and maidana did 772k and it ended up being more than that. So the truth is Manny did around the same as he did against Rios which was 475k, which if you ask me is great considering the no named opponent and the fact it was in china. Also this report didn't mention it but it was also viewed by 48 million people in china! Floyd only dreams of international fame that big, considering basically the while country of the phillipines basically watches Manny pacquiao.

Kill that noise...floyd fans are not the one who even brought this guy to boxingscene..pact@ards did to discredit Floyds numbers now all the sudden he is the enemy?
