    it clearly is true I think what is happening now is that floyd has decided since they agreed to those terms lets see if they agree to these new terms... i.e. smaller split for pac and whatever else he decides to add in ... that's why the fight that seemed almost made (when pac agreed to everything ... admitted by floyd though he says it doesn't matter) is now looking further away again ... floyd has moved the goal posts

        you thought i was being serious also when i put "no buboy" in there?

        the point is if floyd had his way 100% like he wants(which is why it hasn't been agreed to) he'll put pacquiao through the wringer with bullsht after bullsht

        pacquiao agreeing to everything is pacquiao agreeing to as much as he can, this means he's not leaving arum, and he's not accepting a bullsht no ppv offer

        and yes, just about all of our posts is speculation, but speculation with reason
        Didn't see no Buboy

        So really your post doesn't really say anything other than your own theory.

        From what I gather you're saying Pacquaio has agreed to everything, except he hasn't agreed to everything, only what he deems fair, but we don't know what that is. But that theory in itself isn't really based off anything. I've not seen that being said, all I've seen from Pacquaio's side is "Everything is agreed to".

        So overall your breakdown wasn't great, generous 5/10.

          Won't you admit that is only one possibility? It's also a possibility that Mayweather never agreed to whatever terms they are alluding to. This is why we need Mayweather's side to talk before we pass judgement.

          Pac's side has been talking A LOT about the negotiations. The minute they are asked who they have been negotiating with, they say they aren't allowed to say. That is fishy as well.

          And this is the same Top Rank Promotions that held negotiations with itself for this fight in the past and claimed they didn't know how to contact the Mayweather side after it became clear that no negotiations ever took place.

          I'll take my chances waiting for all of the info before I pass judgement.

              Again, pure speculation on your part.

              Clearly true based on what? Because Pacquaio said so?

              When did Floyd admit that everything's been agreed? I've not seen that. I've seen him say the opposite.

                I thought that is what he said.

                That they're negotiating, but nothings been agreed yet.

                  I also have a feeling they are all in cahoots playing us to get us all riled up and buzzing about it, and they will announce it around Super Bowl time.

                  Maybe that is wishful thinking. If not...man I think I'm going to join the list of people who are done with this fight.

                    I remember when Ariza was with Pacquiao and saying that if Floyd ever stepped into the ring with Pac that he would get the beating of his life!

                    I guess Ariza turns into a mouthpiece for whomever is paying his bills at the time. He's a true snake in the grass.

                    I lost all respect for him when he threw that biatch kick at a man shaking from parkinsons.

                      A positive to take is that this similar kind of thing happened in the Mayweather-Mosley negotiations.

                      Floyd was taking forever to sign the contract, people were speculating that e was going to fight someone else, Schafer was getting frustrated. Etc.

                      So that's a positive way to look at things.

                      It could be a ploy. Who knows.
