I'm guessing Floyd won't want to do a face off.

The stuttering will be on overload.

Biggest

Biggest fight in ages and they have to rush everything now. Promotion only 2 months training for career defining fights. They should have picked a date that allowed massive promotion and most importantly fighters having best camps evr

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

Makes sense. Its not needed. Too much hype. Hope it ends with a clear victor in this amazing showdown.

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!

I think they had realized this before to be honest. I know manny wasn't supposed to be at the game but it was just to coincidental imo.

But yeah, manny and koncz deserve credit for willingness to do what was needed.

Moonves told Floyd to make it happen or else. Dude got tired of paying Floyd millions to fight dudes with no foot movement and no speed.

[WESS]

No need to promote it however the 24/7's and All Access would have been good to see how they are doing in training.

Yet, I expect to see the live training in Floyd's camp that he does on Ustream. Hopefully, they get some training footage for both camps. That is always the best part outside of the **** talking!

[tiliheels]

you can bet your ass that floyd's all access ratings will kill manny's 24/7 ratings...hbo might have more viewers, but not per subscriber...i highly doubt i will be watch a hour special on pac, god, and his political agendas...no thank you

Moonves definitely played a big role, and we can thank Freddie Roach for getting Moonves involved. However, remember that Moonves wasn't worried about Floyd, his focus was on the real problem:

Following a Pacquiao-Algieri worldwide publicity tour, Roach said he urged Moonves to meet with Arum at the promoter’s Beverly Hills home.

“They didn’t like each other,” Roach said of a strain that dated to Pacquiao’s return to HBO after fighting one bout on Showtime in 2011. “Bob promised [Moonves] three fights … and only gave him one. … [Moonves] actually told me, ‘I’m not dealing with the devil.’ ”

“I kind of sneakily put them together, about four months ago. I knew it was risky. … [Moonves] wanted to make the fight without Bob and I said, ‘That’s not going to happen, you’ve got to bring him in.’
