Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Adviser: We're Building Trust With Mayweather

[Flash13]

Anyone else troubled by the fact that all of these supposed 'journalists' never seem to ask the real, important questions?

I mean, what are the issues that are holding up the fight? Did Pacquiao not in fact agree to all of the terms Mayweather laid out? What is the status of the network negotiations? How long should it take before contracts are drafted?

But look, they were at a basketball game and shook hands! Let's make 10 different threads about that!

Rafeal said he thought the 2 issues were all access over 24/7 (lame but w/e i want the fight), and no lampley. Apparently those are the LAST 2 issues, then everything is done.

It seems as If people on this board get off on drama. Neither man look shook and It looked like a pretty short civil discussion with a longer discussion taking place a few hours later behind the scenes.

I am not a fan of Floyd Mayweather but he deserves props and some respect for actually taking the Initiative to have a face to face discussion with Pacquiao.

The worst part of Floyd Mayweather are his fans, supporters, cheerleaders and nuthuggers on this board.

I agree mayweather deserves a ton of props. At first i thought it was grand standing, but now i think he trully wants the fight. Just had two issues that he needed resolved. Plus huge media attention, if the fight gets made it was a smart move.

"I don't want to go on a worldwide tour. We don't think it's necessary," he said. "Look, we could have stopped in seven cities and not gotten the kind of publicity we got from Manny and Floyd talking at halftime of the basketball game. "I think we could do one city, perhaps two, New York and Los Angeles, and this thing will go viral. It will sell itself. We don't need to go spending money on private jets to go to a lot of cities. Those tours are expensive. The money could go to the fighters instead. People want this fight and have wanted it for so long. I would have liked to see it happen three or four or five years ago, but hopefully we can get it done now. It will be the biggest fight in history."

And this is why I think the fight's already been agreed to.

Exactly. Look at the reaction from yesterday. From Fat Dan's report, the only things holding up the negotiations are two broadcasting items that Floyd wanted and Koncz said that they were easy to amend and he would tell Arum about them.

Yup, we end up getting a whole bunch of useless info. Look at the TMZ reporter- he had a chance to talke to Les Moonves and he has more interested in whether Espinoza was going to get fired or not. These guys dont know how to ask real questions or how to follow up on responses.

He also added that Arum said the issues were resolved.

Here's the jist of their conversation...


Floyd: what up,the world is gonna eat this up.

Manny: I agree, see you in may

Wow, if it's truly down to those two... Why not have both 24/7 and All Access, just have them air on separate nights.
As for Lampley, just tell LarryXXX and he'll take care of it.

[bigjavi973]

Absolutely.

I will say this is how it should have been. I hope Manny is learning. Take control of your own career Pac. You've earned that right.

Was this meeting scheduled or coincidence?

while I personally dont care what pac does with his boxing career management and money wise.... No I dont think it was a coincidence.
