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

Alright well for the first part i think the public demanded floyd to speak on the matter, that's why he spoke up. It was getting embarrassing for him tbh. But the second part is very valid, and actually a point i hadn't thought of. Maybe moonves has leverage we aren't aware of? Idk i do think that's a positive sign tho.

I don't know why he spoke up and neither do you. I doubt very much it was the public or he'd be speaking every day. So nix that nonsense. Anyway, bottom line is that the CEO wouldn't negotiate unless he knew his side was all for it. Definitely positive. Let's see what happens.

According to rafeal, its in his chat archive and i don't want to go searching for it but ill post what i remember him saying. But according to him he reached out, but Cotto was only interested in a Canelo fight, my how things change.... So who really knows what the **** is going on anymore.

Cotto's people said they were willing to continue negotiating. It was Canelo who cut off negotiations. Probably because he's married to a May 2 date that Cotto could give a flying **** about.

Haymon definitely reached out to cotto's team for a rematch, yes this was a month or so ago. But he definitely reached out for a rematch that much is certain.

How do we know that wasn't for a Plan B?

How do we know that wasn't for a possible September bout?

We don't know.

The only thing we know is the fight isn't off

It was never ON in the first place...both sides were just negotiating to see if both sides can compromise.

I heard cotto wanted june for that fight

I wouldn't be surprised. Makes sense for him. His team wanted to continue negotiating. The issue is that Canelo just wants to fight on May 2. Just silly.

You're right. We don't know. It just all seems very fishy given that Cotto stalled on negotiations all of a sudden. And just because Cotto's manager stated in an interview that Haymon reached out to him a month ago, who's to say he hasn't reached out again since then?

Who was that?

He hated Floyd with a passion, constant Floyd threads, but he was funny sometimes

Don't forget the conspiracy theories

Yeah, who's to say? Who's to say he has? Who's to say he reached out to him for fashion advice? We don't know.

Cotto and team were willing to continue to negotiate with Canelo.
