Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Says 2015 or Likely Never For Mayweather Bout

[man-of-war]

i use to give pacquiao the benefit of the doubt when i heard arum was raping him.......come to find out this guy hasn't even made over 12 million dollars for a fight in vegas........now idk what he makes in china but but there are records of his fight purses in vegas.

pac has over 335 million in career earnings, 41 million just for the rios and bradley fights, that 6 million per fight claims have been explained many times. you listen to the wrong people and you will get the wrong info and come off looking like a fool when you repeat their nonsense.

I dnt think floyd is scared but he makes himself look bad by not showing the public he is trying to get the fight done.....he is too busy shwing off on instagram and bringing up Manny PPV numbers.......after he said "lets make the fihgt happen" May 2nd

Time to forget about this fight now, Bob Arum won't ever let it happen

If the fight falls through that comment and Showtime Interview will haunt him.

it doesn't matter how bad he looks on 1-27-15 as long as the fight happens on 5-2-15

"Their camps and respective networks, HBO and Showtime, have been negotiating for weeks to finalize a May 2nd pay-per-view fight at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. "

Last I checked, no one can do anything without the networks signing off on the negotiations and contract. So the question becomes, why is everyone still dismissing that fact and exclusively blaming Floyd with no additional information.

Ah, forgot assumptions, speculations and per-determined bias... My baad!!

Then why don't Floyd make a public appearance that he is signing of to whatever his team and Manny's team have agreed upon. Thus putting the pressure on the 2 network giants instead of him alone... This will force the networks to partner up...

Unfortunately, Pac is not truthful. Floyd can pick up that phone at any time and make Pacquiao jump. So it is!

There is no reason for Arum to hold of this fight whatsoever, in fact this is the right time to make this fight to happen!!! Manny's boxing career just got ressurected from a k.o. loss, and just like Floyd, Manny too is at the end of his boxing career, so win or loose this is the right time to make it happen!!!
