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

[dc3383]

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

So Showtime whom is forcing this fight. Will overprice themselves so Floyd can back out the fight that's logical.

Give him some time -- maybe one or two more posts so he can properly tweak his cornball ass consipracy theory.

He was the one tweeting about his 'secret' inside info.

I hope the fight happens just to make him look like the blowhard that he is.

Iole and Pugmire have been more positive.

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.

Moonves trumphs Espoinza so what he wants wouldn't matter as his boss. The Canelo fight was riskier than anything Manny has done since Cotto.

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.

I truly believe that Khan gives Floyd hell and can even beat him. His speed, reach, workrate and awkwardness gives Floyd lots of problems. What's Khans weak point? His chin! Floyd is far from a KO artists and I don't see him being able to capitalize on Khan's glass chin.

This is true but Haymon trumps Moonves as far as Floyd is concerned. If they (Floyd and Haymon) don't want the fight, they will figure a way not to have the Showtime/HBO deal go thru.

The fighters aren't meeting with the networks so theory isn't going to work. The networks are meeting because they are sure the fight will go thru. If Floyd was fighting 5 more years he could afford to burn that bridge. Two more fights it's cashing out time.

"The majority of the boxing world"

Why? To satisfy you?

Your need to make shit up out of thin air is ridiculous.

Keep in mind that the same person asking for a tweet is the same person who just said that he believes there is a Showtime conspiracy (execs included) to make Showtime take the fall for Mayweather ducking. In other words, it'll always be Floyd's fault, even if a tin foil hat conspiracy must be invented.

You can't make this stuff up.

They don't know what they believe.

Haymon reaching out to Cotto's people means they don't want the fight. Pacquiao's team saying they have a solid back-up opponent? Uhh, ignore that.

Moonves is forcing this fight to happen! Or is it, they're in on Floyd "ducking?"

Comedy.

Clowns bruh. Then Deevel has the nerve to quote 50 CENT. Like he's this rock solid source of information.

Like, you can't make this nonsense up.

Hey, if there's anything I want this year its to finally see these 2 in the ring. All this talk of Cotto stalling on the Canelo negotiations and Haymon reaching out to Cotto's camp give me doubts as to how genuine they are when it comes to fighting Pac though. Despite what I feel is that Showtime cannot afford to pay Cotto more for Floyd than Cotto would make for fighting Canelo on HBO, Haymon is a pretty shrewd business man who will somehow figure out a way to please Cotto.

I'm not putting all my eggs on this happening. But both sides has to know if they don't make this fight this time around it will be worse than what happened in 2010. If it doesn't happen now it won't happen. Showtime has to know they will get blamed even if it's not their fault.
