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!Comment

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

exactly, why cant people just give props and be happy lol floyd could cure cancer and people will still hate him. some of these guys would give up their own kids to see floyd die or lose a fightComment

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.Comment
