    Hey smart guy, I don't control that. One of the admins did that.

    That's mainly what this forum is comprised of... grown men sitting around watching Floyd Mayweather's every move like gold digging broads. Floyd makes you guys so emotional and unstable.


    Floyd fans such as myself don't have to make every post about him; we also don't have to trash Manny Pacquiao every day of our lives on an internet forum.

    Most Floyd fans are SECURE. We don't have a reason to panic or act like childish daycare infants.

    We know this fight will be made as long as Arum doesn't continue to throw up roadblock after roadblock. There is a reason De La Hoya split from Arum while he was still boxing.

    But you wouldn't know anything about the histrionics of boxing because you're too busy trying to create new ways to say FLOWMO. LOL! Pathetic. Get a life.

      It will. It will. But boxing fans, especially Pacquiao fans, can't continue to delude themselves. Not those who really just hate Mayweather or whatever their hidden motivations are. The true Pacquiao fans who support and cheer for him regardless of who he's facing. Why would you make the same mistake twice?

      The last time the fight was this close to happening, Pacquiao made a terrible decision by bouncing from the table, leaving a fair offer on it. His competition level waned and while he remains a household name, his drawing power has dipped considerably. Even worse, he's lost a controversial decision, won a controversial one, and suffered the most shocking and worst KO in a long time. A fight his promoter chose while spellbinding his fans with stadium and cuts chatter.

      But guess what? Redemption is nigh. He's in a similar situation. Except his options are even worse. Provodnikov? Garcia? Vargas? We're talking serious flops on the horizon. Yet his fans continue to delude themselves. "Moonves is gonna fire them all! What, he said he won't? Well then he's lying." Or "Mayweather is cornered now!" You don't believe that, do you? Cotto or Khan? He'll be fine, while Pacquiao risks his legacy against the likes of Jessie Vargas in front of a disinterested Macau crowd. I'm hoping fans don't make the same mistake twice. More important, I hope Pacquiao doesn't allow his ruthless promoter to make that decision for him.
      Some good points here. I'm not really a fan of either fighter at this point, but do find Pac to be a better person.

      The reason I would like to see this fight is due to the pressure it would potentially place on other fighters/promoters to step up. Garcia and Petersen are making a mockery of defending belts, which doesn't receive enough scrutiny because everyone is hung up on this fight and its petty squabbling, which sets a bad example anyway.

      It is what it is, but boxing could do with an overhaul.

        Hmmm... Lets see.

        Reloaded - Thinks there are eleven years in a decade

        yesir - as above

        Larry x - started stalking and threatening fiddy because he insulted floyd.

        PB32 - Told everyone he was black because he thought it would make him look cool with other floydies.

        MrchokeaMF - As if this idiots name wasnt bad enough, told the forum he won the superbowl! Woo freaking hoo!

        .....SECURE, you say?

        These are only a handful and we havent scratched the surface of the ones that are racist as ***(at least 95%) and have copped bans for such. Get it through your thick head(if possible), Floyd's fanbase are universally regarded by all other fanbases as the worst in not just boxing, but quite possibly the entire sporting world.

        Secure, my arse!

          Arum basically exposes Floyd and Ariza in this interview from Today

          Said they are looking for a scapegoat which is him, I said that long ago Arum is the easy scapegoat but people are not buying it.

          He said if its Bob Arums fault what is it that he is doing to hold the fight back

              Great interview. I've been asking the very same question. What the hell is he doing, that's holding up the fight?? Where are the facts to that claim? Floyd's fans have no answer. They just spew "Bob Arum is holding up the fight", like a bunch a parrots.

                Fifty years from now, when people are talking about the midget who fought anyone and everyone, someone will interrupt the conversation and ask about the coward who didn't want anything to do with the midget.

                  I don't think so.

                    Yep, for that to happen all information regarding the negotiations would have to be erased.

                    I still think the fight is gonna happen though.

                      Arum is holding up the fight doe. "Money" Mayweather is helpless doe.
                      Tell that to Hagler. Even God can't stop you from fighting the guy you want to fight. What a joke.
