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

[bronx7]

Both

let both networks share in ppv broadcast let both networks show fight after it happens they have different subscribers by far more fans have HBO some have both so by letting both networks show fight repeat all fans and subscribers are covered let networks split or gay weather gives 60-40 to showtime in revenue

Can you imagine

Can you imagine Leonard, hearns, Duran who beat Leonard, hagler, Benitez, Robinson etc ducking manny for so long open your eyes he waited to manny faded to finally if he does fight him that's no legend a punk who all above would beat

The excuses are beginning to roll already bcuz reality is about to set in. 38 yr old Mayweather waited for 35 yr old Manny to get old and fade. Sound oxymoron to me? Truth is fight is too close for PAC-fan comfort. But remember Floyd's scared.

It's still gonna happen

There would be a huge backlash from the casuals if Floyd vs khan happens

It'd be a worse backlash if we got Pacquiao Vargas

It's All A Joke; Espinoza & SHO ARE Clowns, Losing Their Azz To Floyd's $200m

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.

Let the winners network air the post-fight. That'll give both fighters incentive. HBO did it before with Tyson-Holyfield or was it Lewis-Tyson? Why change now to stall this fight. Is Bobcat behind this stall? Awaiting September so Oscar can run with May 2 date?

HBO won't agree because they see Mayweather as the favorite. Ouch HBO not backing their fighter.

Yea I forgot who tweeted it but it was either Dan iole or pugmire. One of them said HBO doesn't wanna have the winner get production rights cause Floyd is the fav to win. But lewis was the fav vs Tyson so they were fine with that deal

Dang I wished you could find that tweet

man, i really don't like espinoza. it's guys like him and cotto's adviser/manager Gabby whatever-his-name-is that really irk me. they're always so negative when it comes to making these fights the fans want to see. so there's still negotiating to do: so what? finish it up and give the fans a bit of hope in the meantime. it's like these divas want to feel all empowered and special because they can deliver bad news. they're both class-A dweebs

It was tyson/lewis and its change because floyd(showtime) is the favorite this time while lewis(hbo) was the favorite back then
