Fúck this Espinoza douchebag. Get this fight made rather than stamping your feet like a little bítch screaming "Arum lying doe!" all the fúcking time.

I think its going to happen. Too much time and energy invested in "trying" to make a deal. If theres wasn't any hope whatsoever, these guys would've cut the cord a long time ago. Seems like all sides have agreed to terms except the networks. C'mon they're really going to risk losing millions of dollars just to see who gets the better ratings? Please.........they are going to bank regardless. Just announce it Superbowl day will ya.......sheesh.

Take four snakes, starve them, throw them all together in a pit, and watch them go at it. That's what I envision negotiations for this fight. You have four business egos involved excluding both fighters. Arum is going to want to make it look like he's in control of the situation although all bob is doing is talking to Moonves while Todd is the actual one involved. Espinoza is trying to downplay everything "No,seriously people I didn't slither out of bed this morning. Honestly swear on my mothers third cousin from mars i'm still in bed". HBO is going to want its nut and is going to play the "we have more subscribers game", and then you have Al trying to monetize everything for this fight including the air people in the arena are going to consume. By the time this fight gets made it'll cost you $150 for the ppv, $25 per each eye ball you watch it with, and $8 for being permitted to drink your own beer on the couch.

It's Worth it.

It's Worth it.

Definitely. Willing to pay $200 if need be. No matter the outcome or rhythm of fight......this match will go down in history books. Whats not to like about this match?

Espinoza with his fckin face and negative attitude is the most undesirable animal in the boxing world right now. The type of guy you want to push to the corner and choke his neck.

if u bet your beans on TMZ..than u must be a TMZ (Total Muthafuccin Zombie)

i'm glad he's battle TMZ instead of Arum in this...iknow arum is mentioned arum's isnt throwing tons of hate in the statement he made..he's just saying he feels its close..but its over his head now..its about networks not about promotions no more..but understand when the networks agree promotions will have some issues to discuss with their sponsors.

Yet ANOTHER in a long series of articles where the so-called professional journalist doesn't do the basics of journalism. Let me get in front of Espinoza and the first thing I'll say is 'Uhhh, Steve... what exactly are the remaining issues that are an impediment to the fight being finalized?'

Is that really so difficult? As far as we've been told, all issues were ironed out save for relatively unimportant ones like who gets to show the prefight programs (Yahoo Sports reported earlier today they struck a deal where each network would do an hr long special on their fighter as opposed to the traditional 24 7/All Access) and whether or not Jim Lampley would be involved.

Those don't sound like issues that would take weeks to resolve and hold up a $300 million fight. So what is it exactly?

[Cut Man]

Every day it's not announced makes it less likely to happen. I think they are negotiating but it won't get done until Arum steps aside
