    Its the biggest fight, I want to see the press tour the trash talk, the 24/7 Roach vs Floyd sr, Justin Fortune vs Ariza/Memo combo.

    The antics, this sucks. What kinda build up are they going to do, Floyd wants as little interaction with Pacquiao as possible, Pacs wife said Floyd was very polite but he was sweating a lot and they had the air con on the opposite of Ben Thompson article saying Floyd was coming at Pac to call him out on the lies.

      When you strip away the media and managers and promoters and lies, deceptions, misquotes, and the walls, you have two fighters who could be friends and do business together. Just because you hear about things they say about each other, there is the known psychological effect called the fine line between hate and love and sometimes fighters actually respect and admire each other, despite outward appearances and this is often locked up inside, behind the walls that are up, part done by society and not really knowing each other until they meet and talk. And then they realize the other guy aint so bad after all.

        Why would Floyd all of a sudden refuse to do a 24/7 or all access EVERYONE wants to see this! this deserves a 24/7 build up wtf? why would Floyd refuse I and everyone else is looking forward to that.

        Also Floyd didn't want to do a press tour, I honestly believe Floyd feels awkward around Manny, Floyd knows he respects Manny as a fighter and it would make him second guess himself having to do a press tour and hear the boos go at him extra loud and having to remind himself he has to fight Pac.

        I believe Floyd will win but I also believe he does have OCD and has a phobia he has to be in seclusion with Ariza and Memo with no cameras around training real hard and focus for this fight, so all that this will be my easiest fight was all talk.

        Floyd knows or feels Pac is not going to be a cake walk.
        Does a fight like this need a 24/7 or an All Access? Does it need a press tour? Me personally, I would love to see it, but from a business sense do they really need to spend all that money to hype a fight that's already sold?

        And I've seen your other posts on this matter. Isn't this supposed to be a good thing on Floyd's part? How does anyone hate on Floyd going up to Manny and trying to make the fight. Both Floyd and Manny did what they were supposed to do. Just be happy with it. Godamn! We get it you hate Floyd, but at least give credit where it's due. I really don't like Canelo, but I can say I love his willingness to fight anyone.

          Well that would help if the fight is close, the Sho guys would be pulling for Floyd and vice versa. Commentary has a lot of influence.

          The 24/7 is neither here nor there, they've agreed to do their own specials.

            Using business sense, how does spending money on a build up that's already built up help? A fight 6 years in the making and you're disappointed because there's no build up (even though there is)? My main focus is the fight. Just get that made first. I swear if the fight doesn't get made because of a dispute between who would air the shows between All Access and 24/7, I'm going to be done with boxing altogether.

              Both networks and the fighters settled on a 1 hr special on each network for their fighter. So manny on HBO and Floyd on SHO. So that's not an issue anymore.

                How do I hate Floyd? I say what I see, and I have always said Floyd has the skills to beat Pacman easy, heck I even pick him to win.

                its a good thing that Koncz asked Floyd to come talk to Manny, whats a bad thing is the floyd diehards going at Manny like he was shook and believing Ben Thompsons hack job article saying Floyd called Pac out on his lies, that bugs me, when the truth was Koncz told Manny if he wanted him to call Floyd over and Manny gave Koncz the go ahead they made it seem like it was Floyd going there out of the blue to call out Pac.

                Videos like this from delusional race bias floyd fanboys tick me off


                From the video they looked cordial and professional, I dont get how these floyd fans could get all this Pac is shook from a video with no words with Pac looking at floyd the whole time. We don't even know what was said just hearsay, but from body language and demeanor Pac doesn't even look phased.

                The only time I saw a fighter shook is when Margarito confronted Floyd you could hear his voice and he kept looking paranoid like if Margarito was going to come back.

                  I agree with the overall picture, but you can't deny a 24/7 series with these fighters would be awesome.

                    I know. He's disappointed because there won't be a long press tour and and he wants to see the trainers talk trash on each other. Dudes ****ing weird.

                      Some said Rigo was shook against Donaire and Mayweather was shook against Guerrero and Garcia was shook against Mathyssee. I should have put money down on all the guys who were supposed to be shook. I'd have won 100% of the time.
