Comments Thread For: Pacquiao's Adviser Talks Mayweather Deal, Details

Lucky Koncz went over to Floyd during the game and told him to come over to see Manny or this fight might never had happened.

Lucky Floyd's Visa got denied as well

Again WRONG !!! Floyd reached out to Pac, by sending one of his people over to Pac and asking to meet.

You guys are never going to give Floyd credit even when it was he who got the ball rolling.

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.

what did you say again Big Dunn and Bronxx? whose the lier again?

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.’

Try to blow up that contract that Mayweather was holding with both of their signatures in em. Then try to blow up the contract Manny posted on his instagram with his signature in it and blank on Floyds name. Compare them and tell me that the one Manny posted is bogus.

It means nothing because contracts are drawn up many times during negotiations and go through a repeated back and forth process between each camp's legal team. Drafts upon drafts upon drafts are written before the final one is reached and each camp agrees and signs. Any draft can be signed by either team, means nothing.

And we all know from reports that the networks themselves hadn't even come to an agreement, meaning there was no final contract.

**** that one hour special ****


Pacquiao-Mayweather 24/7

[fighter1234]

I'm actually a bit disappointed. I would've loved a full blown All Access/24/7 because it just builds up the hype week by week. Also a press conference tour would have been epic. Well, at least we have the fight, so I'm not complaining.

[sapaw]

i just hope there is All Access/24/7! imagine 6 years in the making and 6 years of BS from both camp! Anyway, Im just happy that fight is now done deal... just wondering what's on that contract about gloves of Pac... Other than that, all are good! props to floyd for taking this fight!
