Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Pacquiao Talks Stalled By Network Battle

[Pac=Duran]

If this fight doesn't happen I'm done with boxing. Boxing fans have been pissed all over.

[texasboi15]

Why is everyone screaming for Mayweather to sign a contract and all the particulars have not been worked out yet?

Floyd is a diva. He's not going to sign a contract then sit and wait and see if the networks can work things out. Floyd is going to wait til everything is complete and final before he inks the contract BECAUSE he wants to be the one to announce the fight.

Hagler, Leonard, Hearns, Duran had 9 EPIC, Super Fights between them in their prime!!! Leonard, Hearns, Duran even went up to 160 to war with Hagler. You think Floyd would go to 160 to fight Gennady??? LOL!!! Hell no. He's taken 6yrs to come fight Manny a small welterweight, hoping Manny is a faded fighter for all the wars Pac has had. Espinoza acts like he's making things happen in these negotiations. This clown is nothing but a stooge who gets in the way. Haymon just made him coward down and take several Showtime fighters to NBC for some great fights in early 2015. And all Espinoza had the Ballz to say is, "I support what Al is doing"... Lol. These clowns at SHO, the very team who brought us Danny Garcia-Rod SALKA, are painful to read about their promotions. They Sukk as a network, and Espinoza will get the boot at some point.

Forget GGG.. a few years ago when Sergio was wrecking people he wanted to fight Floyd, and even go down to 154.... crickets..

oh please arum been rigging fights before u were born

But when has the NSAC protected one of his fighters?

When did USADA throw out 3 failed PED test for one of his fighters?

When did the MGM Grand buy a Bugatti for one of his fighters?

All the cards are stacked if Floyd's favor and you know it. Pacquiao doesn't give a **** and still wants the fight. Thats why hes a true warrior

Manny wants it because it will be double his highest ever pay day , nothing to do with warrior its about cashing out before he retires and a crack at the best fighter in the world , whats he gunna do the same effort in training for Vargas and 1/4 of the money , your such a little kid with a hero lol .

I have a logical solution to this problem. Both networks show the delayed broadcast. The network who ends up with the losing fighter pays a certain amount of money to the other network.

your such a little kid with a hero lol .

Lol the irony.

[Reloaded]

Lol the irony.

The funny part is you need to read what I say not just the fact that I do , if I was talking about Manny you would have green kd me to death by now , thats the irony !

Showtime won't agree to that because as already mentioned they took the lesser end of the deal before when it was Lewis-Tyson. They still went all-in and bet on Tyson knowing Lewis was the favorite. Lewis ended up winning and the fight was forever branded an HBO fight.

What's fair is fair.
