Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Adviser Details Private Mayweather Meeting

[Evol]

Once the fight is signed by both guys you are going to start seeing a lot of worry from Pac fans. As they began to realize their last real claim to fame (Mayweather running from Pac) is coming to a brutal end on May 2nd. 1 big question will become what contract did Arum & Pac lie about signing?

A better questions is, where did u get the idea from that pac and arum signed the contract already? lol

jjsmyth87 I give you credit for maintaining. Pac-boy and Evol somewhr hiding lol

Its seems to me in my opinion that the Floyd fans are way more excited than the Pacquiao fans..just my opinion.

You will definitely see much more excitement when this fight is actually official,
many are still a bit skeptical (rightfully) and just waiting for something solid..

Sounds more realistic than Fight Hype ben thompson making Floyd out to be some loud mouth thug who walked up to confront Pac.

If I were Flooyd I would get pissed off at Thompson for writing some BS like that.

But if it were down to the networks what is the point of Floyd chilling with PAc in his hotel suite?

That isn't even part of Floyds concern, I find it hard to believe Floyd didnt say Bob Arum is the problem one time in those meetings with Pac and Koncz.

I just hope Pac didnt agree to go easy on Floyd, Arum told Pac to take Bradley the distance and he did and Pac got robbed, Pac is a dum ass and will probably give Floyd the win if Floyd came at Pac with respect Pac will believe it, Pac even said Floyd is his brother in Christ, Floyd is very smart he probably told Pac I want to be your friend man we have great respect for each other and I would love to visit the Philippines one day, if you let me win I will forever be grateful you have other things outside of boxing all I have is boxing, please Manny do this for me if you are a christian man. and Manny the sucker will probably do it.

Floyd being friendly and professional and respectful to Pacquiao doesn;t seem right, something is strange here. If Floyd starts talking **** to the camera I wont buy it now, why go there just to iron out a TV dispute that Floyd has no say in? makes no sense at all. Floyd talked nothing but dog **** discredited his wins called him a ped user about Pac and all of a sudden he is being respectful?

I have a feeling Alex ARiza told Floyd all you have to do is meet with Pac in person and become his friend and he will go easy on you, Ariza probably remembered when Arum told Pac to go easy on Bradley in the first fight.

All I know is I won't buy the hype or trash talk them meeting respectful kinda killed the hype. this the first time they meet and Floyd is over there buttering up Pac and giving him props

Get them excuses ready ladies and gentlemen.. Excuses , excuses.. Get it while its hot.. Pre fight excuses on sale... Manny was too nice doe.. Shoulda happened five years ago doe.. Manny is a Christian doe.. Im selling excuses..

Quit kidding yourself, Pacquaio is getting ElephantMann'ed !!

your the only one kidding yourself if you think pac is going to get badly beaten up.

when pac connects with his lightning quick power straight left you will see your hero for what he really is, a scared mentally weak man.

pac will bloody and break down floyd before winning a clear UD.

People need to cool the jets here.

The 'rivalry' is still great business for both of them. This spontaneous meeting, and all the hype it brings, is going to help them sell their next fight whatever it is.

I mean it's not like they haven't led us up the garden path before.

Dan Rafael is guessing one of the broadcast objections Floyd has is with Jim Lampley calling the fight. I hope it works out like this:

Play by play: Flip a coin between Lampley or Ranallo. Lampley cares more about his own agenda than the action in the ring these days, and Mauro doesn't know **** about boxing and speaks in that fake, annoying voice.

Color commentary: Al Bernstein, the best in the business.

Expert analysis: I'd be fine with Roy, Ward, or Paulie actually. I probably prefer Ward though, considering comments made by Roy against Floyd and from Paulie against Manny.

[Bolopunch68]

If HBO does the commentating, I hope Andre Ward is involved, hes the only sensible voice over there. Roy is too erratic. And if Merchant is involved, im muting it.. If its Showtime then its all good, theyre pretty good and balanced as a unit. And please god, no Harold Lederman, nobody cares about his scorecards. Now who will be the ref, thats the next big question.. I think Bayless is the best there is, even though he doesnt allow boxers to fight out of a clinch.. Even with this flaw i think hes the most qualified.

Ok here's my list;
HBO COMMENTATORS: Jim Lampley and Ward (I hope he won't be bias since it Floyd on the other corner)

SHO COMMENTATORS: Steve Farhood and Smith

REFEREE: Steve Smoggers (sorry if I spell his name wrong) or Kenny Bayless.

ANNOUNCERS: HBO's Michael Buffer (for Manny's introduction) and for SHOTIME, whoever do their announcing on fight night.

JUDGES: One from the Philippines, one from the US, and one foreign referee.

How would you like your milk steak though?

[KillaMane26]

Please let Showtime commentate and HBO do the 24/7

[GRUSTLER]

This 5hit just got real folks! This is the first time I have ever believed that Floyd is willing to fight Pacquiao! Yessssss!!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't convinced in 2009 when Pacquiao said no huh?
