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

[Robbie Barrett]

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

So when Floyd wins HBO can play the fight of Mayweather a Showtime fighter beating Manny up each time. I say that helps Showtime promotion. This problem should not stop the fight from happening.

Corona is associated with GBP. GBP is not involved in making this fight.

LOL thanks for the clarification. We dodged a bullet

Truth. Pacquiao's own network believes Floyd will win and that's what's holding up this fight from happening. They won't agree to the Lewis Tyson terms because back then Lewis was the favorite to win. This is BS

HBO is going to mess this up if they believe in their guy lol me they did Lennox they should have the same agreement as before.

HBO is the ones that dont want that , Showtime are licking their chops , it boils down to backing Manny and they clearly dont think he can win , if Manny could win it would be great for HBO but they dont want to take that gamble .

HBO helped with his new contract so he is tied to HBO.

Top Rank says they are waiting for Floyd to sign, while themselves haven't signed yet. On the other hand, the article states the network is the issue.....hmmmmm. Wtf is going on? It seems everyone is negotiating amongst themselves.
