[SchoolTheseCats]

On another note how come boxing scene haven't made a thread bout Espinoza on Twitter basically pissing all on on manny arum and koncz of them saying they signed contract and waiting on mayweather to sign his end?

[sicko]

Floyd is taking a PR beat down!!!! Top rank....Manny....Arum....ESPN....HBO....DLH's jealous hatin as$....and on and on. I really hope something can be agreed on cuz this will hurt boxing and we'll be subjected to the Manny groupies BS and idiotic non sense forever.

That is on his dumb a$$...he allows it! Even when he speaks up because he can't express himself well, it still makes him look bad.

They should just call Mayweather-Cotto 2, Floyd's second-helping of Pacquiao's leftovers...

[MisanthropicNY]

I'm assuming after Floyd-Cotto 2 is signed...we'll hear Floyd and Showtime execs. tell us that Mayweather-Pacquiao could happen in September, and I wouldn't be shocked if Floyd plays the media saying that he wants the fight after Cotto in September..and then after September as long as they both keep winning...he'll say the same thing for May 2016 until he retires...

The only time Floyd ever seemed really interested in making the Pac fight was right after the Marquez KO...after Floyd saw Pac recover from it...he's been scared away again...

Thats not a fact Mayweather Promotions was the lead promoter of the 2nd Floyd vs Maidana fight.

"Yahoo Sports writer Kevin Iole says that he had a conversation with Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, and he says that Golden Boy Promotions will be promoting the Mayweather-Maidana II fight along with Mayweather Promotions."

Please explain how Floyd can fight without Showtime being involved?

Easy... ya floyd fans were adamant that showtime and floyd can break their contract no problem... im sure there are plenty of tv networks that can have access to ppv and put on the fight. Like I said, that whole showtime/hbo thing is just another excuse.... and what are we "waiting on" right now??? the showtime/hbo to get "made" lol if he really wanted to fight.... the fight would be signed sealed and delivered.

[bigjavi973]

that's not an excuse it's well documented even Dan Rafael stated that showtime wanted to use same contract for broadcast that was agreed upon for Tyson vs Lewis with winners network being only one to have replay rights the following week and other network out in dust and hbo didn't want to I'm pretty sure even pac fans will agree that hbo is not showing enough confidence in pac winning as showtime is showing for Floyd

and with floyd "being his own boss" he can easily go "talk to showtime" bosses and say, "hey!!! cut the sh^t and get this fight done"... has he done that? most likely not. Like I said, its an excuse. Nothing more.

Youre being ignorant. It took HBO/SHO over a year to come to an agreement for the Lewis-Tyson fight and you cant have a fight unless both of those two have an agreement. Its possible Mayweather is stepping in the way of that agreement but there is no basis to say he is for sure.

Dude u make no sense showtime in business of making money why would they miss out on the extra money and views that the replay earns the following week it's known facts the showtime is willing to agree to same terms they used for Lewis vs Tyson fight and hbo doesn't if u read up on that contract for the networks then u would already know that the loser of the fight network loses out big time but showtime is willing to use the same exact terms from that contract and HBO is not they not moving off both networks reairing replay cause they don't have as much confidence in manny winning and don't wanna lose out on ppl who didn't for fight subscribing just to see replay following week
