JJSmyth will be nowhere near this thread...if he is he will still be convinced Bob is the only honest guy in these negotiations.

Just can't see Espinoza keeping his job, if the fight doesn't happen. If he still has his job next year, then we'll know he was just taking the blame for Floyd. SHO will never throw Floyd under the bus as long as he's under contract.

perhaps the network deal is done just not finalized?

Bob's been saying for weeks that the TV networks haven't made an agreement but based on LA Times article it does look like they are closing in on an agreement.

****** idiots. " Arum said dis doe... Arums said dat doe..."

Why are you sniveling Floyd imps keep on ignoring that the HBO President JUST said, the Network negotiations are over, that the only obstacle is Floyd Pac?

Incredible how delusional you are that you will keep ignoring this, and keep saying, " But Arum a liar doe..."

Floyd is the biggest scum and biggest liar there is. If you are going to look at Arum, then Floyd is 100X the piece of shlt of Arum.

please read that article and tell us why we are the ****** idiots? Hes even quoted as saying its not a done deal when asked by pesky reporters, this was at the Wlad Jennings presser lol.

Not being an impediment is laying blame on Manny and Floyd, remember its up to the principals at this point.

Also no offense but Espinoza has been pretty consistent and RIGHT when calling HBO and TRs media BS during these negotiations. I dont like Espinoza, but a lot of these reports has Mannys side contradivting themselves, not the other way around.

gayfeather has no way out

he knows it. He looses to cotto and to many so he's not risking with cotto but he taking the risk with a smaller guy in pquiao and making lots of more money. He's already training but doesn't want the paquiao team to know about it in order to delay his camp. He's just taking every advantage he can like he's been doing for the last 5 yrds. Hope paquiao doesn't falls asleep on this cowards trap. nitramzaid@hotmail.com

That yahoo article is damning. Even Pacquiao and DeBoef are pissed at Arum

[MR. V]

BoxingScene.com has spoken to sources from both HBO and Showtime - and both networks have denied reaching a broadcast agreement on a Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao pay-per-view. Network sources were unable to discuss the remaining issues.

Their information contradicts an earlier article on BoxingScene.com, where Top Rank's CEO Bob Arum informed the Associated Press that a deal was finally made between HBO and Showtime.

Bruh gone like the wind.

Also, for the Manny supporters, dont you find it ironic that HBO FELT THE NEED TO RELEASE AN OFFICIAL STATEMENT REGARDING THEIR POSITION ON THE FIGHT?

When ppl started blaming HBO for the delayed broadcast its obvious they took offense and released a statment stating otherwise, even tho the statement said absolutely nothing.

[fighter1234]

So basically, the only thing that have been agreed upon are the purse split,the gloves,and the drug testing...? For ****s sake,have they made ANY progress in the past 3 weeks? Its like every time there's news on the fight,its "nothing's been resolved yet,but we have 10 more issues to resolve,but we can't tell you what they are,because we like being mysterious assh*les like that." Do they play with a damn Nerf football,until the last 5 minutes of each meeting?
