I think both fighters know that they've pushed this fight out long enough already. Plus it's not like where gonna get to see something new anyways. I'm just glad the fight is finally on.

Not going to waste money to produce 2 tv shows when you don't need to.

Im really glad that there is no 24/7, All Access for this fight.

Truth be told, all this media/TV production interferes with training.

I want the guys to go all out and not have to worry about doing promotion for the show.

The fight ready had 5 years of promotion. No need wasting time or money on a fight that sells itself.

Pacquiao should have a 8-10 week training camp.

It would be good if he could come in **** on 147lbs, but he is just too small.

I'll admit, I must give Koncz a lot of credit for admitting that Arum and Manny were lying, and that there were no contracts signed. The fact that he gave that interview with FightHype was even bigger, and then to kill that deadline was even more impressive. I really believe that the hotel meeting in Miami saved the fight! Manny had to be pissed and embarrassed, and he probably demanded that Arum get his **** together!

AWESOME. the fight dont need anymore promotion. **** the press conferences and 24/7, just train hard and get ready for fight
