    the why hasn't Floyd been cut yet? See you can't answer that either.

    "pressured Floyd" sounds good until you play the whole thing out. Moonves would essentially be terminating Floyd and giving away the biggest fight ever for free. Really?

    Can't you just admit Manny didn't walk away this time?

      ARum isn't HBO, he has a deal with them. Why wouldn't he? If terminated-he has no other options. Not saying he would do it willingly, but he would.

      Thats why I asked you to play it out. that doesn't seem like a decision Moonves would make. Maybe I'm wrong, its not like CBS needs money.

        you act like you the sh.it breh, but all your posturing is as weak as your typing.
        Moonves, Floyds boss, was meeting with Arum over Floyds head. Get it right kid. quit being a fu.ckboy

          No, ive never said anything like that. You are confused. You just keep trying to divert from the thread topic.

          Manny changed for a reason, I want to know what that reason is.

              I never said it was the best offer he'd ever get. again, you are either making it up or quoting someone else.

              I said he didn't deserve more.I said it was 42% higher than his biggest payday, which it was. Is aid I didn't care if it was fair since he walked away in 09/10. He turned it down and will get at least 2x as much. Good move by Manny.

                Canelo vs Cotto, yes, but thats with the COMBINED power of Cottos name.

                Lets say if the fight fell through with May Vs Pac, and it was gonna be May Vs Khan...Even that would have outsold Canelo Vs Kirkland as far as ratings/ppvs draws and etc.

                Delahoya still would have changed the date.
                This is true. But I think for floyd it's a bit more than that. The simple fact that canelo could make a play for that date be it vs Cotto or anybody puts pressure on floyd. Even if floyd lost 50k in PPV sales to canelo vs Kirkland he wouldn't let that ride. Floyd had to step up and show them that this is his date to fight and make canelo move off of it. Now that he is gonna fight pac it gives him a pass pretty much to fight lesser opposition on his last couple outings. This was the 'big business' of boxing at its finest and this was Floyd's 'counter punch' so to speak.


                This was a great play be delahoya and canelo and floyd answered it with the fight we all want to see.

                  In that case he might, but we'll disagree on that. Just hoping for a great fight and no corruption, but thats boxing. Its floyd's fight to lose

                    Fair. I think so to, but he has to fight better than he did in both maidana fights or he will lose.

This fight will look similar to that, except Floyd will be clinching alot more and trying to hold on for dear life like Hopkins did when Sergey kovalev was beating him down. Floyd has a Hopkins style. Manny is too explosive and too fast for mayweather too handle. Pacquiao by tko or ud.
                      75% Pac, 25% Floyd chances I have it.

                      And it's always been that way. And Floyd know it.

                      I dunno what passes for subterfuge in America but the Floyds campaigns against Manny have been the most ill advise attempts Ive seen. The rest of the world thinks he and his team are complete ******s and cant understand how anybody could swallow it.
