The play-by-play go on Showtime is dull as fk... without Lampley the telecast loses all of its energy and excitement...

Floyd is already making the fight less interesting

24/7 > All Access.... Floyd wtf are you doing?

I would much rather have HBO myself. It just isn't the same without them. Listening to the announcers on Showtime to me, is about like fingernails on a chalkboard. I especially hate it then they start talking to each other and they turn away from the camera, then face each other while they talk. All we see is the side of their faces. If I am paying $100 for this fight, the least they can do is look at the camera and make me feel like I am part of the conversation.

I know there are a few Showtime fans, so I think that once you pay for the fight, they should open up 2 channels. One channel would be an HBO televised version of the fight and the other would be Showtime. Let the people decide on which one they want to see or they can switch back and forth, if they get tired of hearing one or the other.

Manny was quick to throw arum under the bus tho about lying, that's not boss like. lol But all is good. Make it happen!

You dont get it do you? It is rumored that this has been a part of Mayweathers terms all along, which would mean that all parties involved including Arum knew that this is what he wanted, why did it take a face to face meeting and a morning call to Arum to get it done. Why has Arum been lying about negotiation? Lying is not negotiating.

My take is Pac was being lied too, after meeting with Mayweather Pac put Arum under pressure to give Mayweather 2 very simple requests. No Jim Lampley and no 24/7 or All Access, those are 2 very simple request.

It is no coincidence that Arum is no longer saying we have agreed to everything we are just waiting for Floyd to sign a contract.

Arum is now saying the fight looks close we are drawing up papers.

Very different.

Floyd has been the one who has been stalling not the other way around. Why would arum stall when he's the one who put this fight together? Arum and pacquiao have said for a month that they agreed to the terms. Mayweather still hasn't even agreed! Its obvious mayweather is the one holding up the fight. Your right why did it take a face to face meeting with pacquiao for him to seem to have any interest in this fight? But that's a question to mayweather not to arum who has been the one putting this together all this time, negotiating with mayweathers boss.

Reportedly, this is what Floyd brought to Koncz and Pacquiao's attention at the Heat game and in the hotel room...

Floyd wants that boring dude from Showtime to do the play-by-play for the fight... the guy sucks... everyone knows that Lampley is TBE play-by-play guy... dude is acting like HBO has to take a backseat completely to Showtime...that's now how negotiations work smh...

Also, Floyd doesn't want 24/7 to benefit I guess from his fight...

why don't they just let HBO do 24/7 for Manny's camp.. and Showtime does All Access for Mayweathers.. showing glimpses or very few of the opposition.. that way both networks get viewers..

As far as fight.. allow both networks to sell it.. HBO PPV, and Showtime PPV.. with 20% of HBO buy earnings going to Showtime, due to the 60/40 so called agreed split.. That way you watch it with the commentators you want..

there I solved it..
