HBO and Showtime meeting for 2nd day in a row.

[-PBP-]

The fights done. No need for anymore updates. If anyone backs out now it will ruin them forever.

this is all a lie. they aren't really meeting. the only real negotiations were the first negotiations!

That's what Manny has won at all these years, the PR battle. Would have like for Floyd and his team to call them out much more over the years, man. But whatever. The perception is what it is. But this fight really about to be done? In 2015? Wow.

Exactly. You can tell they have to tread lightly around Arum or risk him picking up the ball and going home (again). So no need to get into the back and forth. Hopefully, just hopefully, everyone is genuine and we have an announcement within the next couple weeks.

Ironic you keep saying this as it's clearly you who is living in the past

fight is not happening... the loudmouth scared coward silence is deafening.

Jim Lampley has always had a soft spot for older men in his life like Larry (Merchant) and Emanuel (Stewart), so it's natural that after Larry leaving and Emmanuel dying Jim wasn't at his best. However, in the last year Jim has come back to where he was before the tragedies.

There is nobody even close to the popularity of Jim as host and blow-by-blow commentator among casual boxing fans, and it's because of him intensifying the broadcast with emotive terms, inclusive language, imagery, provocative adjectives, hyperbole, similes, juxtapositions and exclamations; as well as building up a passionate mode with an enthusiastic and thrilling tone. Most casual boxing fans love to listen when Jim takes them on an emotional ride into HBO World Championship Boxing, and who blames them because most hosts and blow-by-blow commentators aren't very skilled at doing it.

Jim Lampley has the skill set to satisfy most casual boxing fans. However, people in the boxing industry usually prefer silent blow-by-blow commentator, or someone who keeps the hype and the feelings to a minimum.

Wouldn't surprise me if they use all of them in some way for prefight/commentary/post fight. Maybe HBO can bring back Larry Merchant just for the Mayweather post fight interview.

[Pigeons]

Al Bernstein, Max Kellerman, and Andre Ward would be my commentator preference.

I realize I'm in the minority.

I wonder how they gon do all access and 24/7 because they didn't have that for tyson/lewis
