    No excuses!

    Everyday I feel this event build more and more
    Im exited for it. It can't come soon enough for me. But I'm not feeling the event build at all.

    Possibly because it built itself up to the highest magnitude over the years, imo.

      Without all the mounting pressure, does anyone really believe that Floyd just steps up and makes this fight on his own volition? Please.

      It's laughable how he went out of his way to make it seem that way.

          If this is true, it could've been avoided by Manny had he not...well you already know.

            All Roads Lead To Floyd Mayweather.

            And that is why you and everybody finally conceded to USADA testing AND a 60/40
            purse split, Freddie.

            That's what Floyd had requested many eons ago to mae the fight.

            Now we'll see if he was really embarrassed into taking this fight. Freddie.

                You gotta be one of, if not the most ignorant kids in here...

                60/40 split wasnt offered before, it was a flat 40mill fee for manny. and manny agreed to usada but with a cutoff date of a few days before the fight..

                Roach is right in some respects. Fans, media, current and former fighters were gettin on Floyds helmet for not taking the fight. Its here finally.

                Mayweather by SD. Styles make fights and although id love for Manny to beat up FMJ and khtfo, i just dont see it happening.

He couldn't go get a burger without someone heckling him and telling him to fight Pacquiao. It got to a point where no one took him seriously. Even his 'fans' started turning on him. Tell me I'm wrong?
                  No doubt about the fact that the fans put pressure on him, more so then ever before. In a way Floyd does care what the fans think and the heckling In public everywhere he went had to of started to get to him. I am not a fan of his In anyway, but as a boxing fan there Is no denying his boxing ability.

                      I agree and got a kick out of VP Stephen Espinoza trying to convince people at the press conference that Floyd always wanted the Pacquiao fight and that It was a top priority. Yet Floyd himself said there would be no fight as long as Arum was Involved. Someone was lying.
