Comments Thread For: SHO Exec: Mayweather-Pacquiao Deal Has a Ways To Go

[Vasyl’s dad]

It took 15 months for them to sort out Lewis v Tyson. This won't be done quickly, I can't see them making May 2nd, they'll want a world tour. I predict a June date.

Neither fighter is ducking here, just because Floyd hasn't 'signed' anything doesn't mean he's ducking. Do you think Showtime would go through this if he hasn't given the green light? All parties have agreed on terms and now waiting for the Networks to sort their differences out.

Mid-Feb, I expect the announcement.

If he hasn't signed, he's ducking. Sign it, and just say it's on and that TV deals have to be worked out.

Truth is, if Floyd and Haymon don't want this fight to happen then it wont happen regardless if HBO/Showtime is on board.

But would HBO/Showtime even be talking, if he wasn't on board?

Would Fat Dan and Lance whatever the hell is name is (on twitter) be telling everyone that he IS on board, if he wasn't on board?

It seems like the only people that don't believe he's on board, are known Floyd Mayweather haters. I'm honestly starting to think that Pacquiao's fans, deep down, hope this fight doesn't happen. It's a lot easier to accuse a guy of ducking, than it is to accept that he just beat your guy.

Moonves is forcing Floyd into this fight haven't you forgot; but somehow Floyd is fighting Cotto again.

It's actually funny, watching them talk in circles.

Fat Dan was implying that Mayweather will look for a way out.

Exactly. I think I'm gonna need Manny to tweet out a copy of this signed contract.

You're right. Pacquiao is ducking. He hasn't signed anything.

Lets see CBS is forcing Floyd to fight because he's cost them to lose so much money(never mind his check is given to him the night of my the fight before any numbers are counted) or is CBS trying to secure the Cotto rematch for Floyd. You can't have both which one is it.

I believe Les Moonves genuinely wants the fight.

Espinoza?....he's someone who you cant trust as far as you can spit. He's a notorious liar and Haymons biatch and will do whatever it is that Haymon tells him.

Haymon? He can care less about what anyone says so long as he's able to pull the strings that will benefit his fighters (especially Floyd). Floyd is his star pupil and Haymons concern is maximize Floyd's profits while keeping him out of harms way and preserving that 0.

Floyd?.....When he says things like "why take hard fights if I can fight 2 duds", its hard to see him taking risky fights at this point in his career.

Pac?....Throwback fighter who will get in the ring with anyone. He's not the sharpest business man but will fight whomever Arum tells him to. Including Floyd.

Arum?...Greedy *** who is looking to milk Pac for all he's worth, but at the same time has come together with foes such as King and Duva to put on some of the biggest fights in history.

Cotto? Been there done that. Floyd fans claim the first fight was a clear win for Floyd, so why would anyone want to see it again? If anything, why not fight Khan then Pac?

Because khan won't bring the cash flow. Not to me to mention khan has no chance in hell of winning against Floyd.

Against cotto there is a to of money to be made. A better conditioned and better trained cotto under roAch and crew has a chance to win. Mayweather with opportunity to gain mw belt and make history feeds the hype machine to bring even more money than their initial fight.

Why in gods name would u rather see may v khan. Something fresh? Pshh. Give me two great boxers over one great one vs a no hoper anyday. Especially if I'm paying for it.
