It's nice that even Manny's side admitted what Floyd and Ariza had said a long time ago! The reason it didn't get made was because Pac didn't even bother trying to negotiate.

this article is the first time that anyone from manny's camp broke their silence about the phone call...2010ish prior to the mayweathercotto fight.."i will break my silence" is also a quotable from that article...floyd is not his own boss they say...but koncz and floyd did all the negotiating and koncz said floyd is a great business man and was easy to work with...later after that negotion koncz woudl advice manny to part with arum.. his staduim and cut excuse were dropped during these negotiations as well....PAC FANS AS LONG AS U IGNORE FACTS for w/e reason...race, hate, or w/e...i will tell u i hope floyd mayweather kills this perpetuating race war puppet...I WANT U TO LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKE..I WANT IT IN BLOOD..see wats happening in baltimore...things like this are the reasons why..u ppl have our countries biggest event filled with racial undertones..

We all know this. If LesMoonves hadn't put in the effort, this fight would never have happened. Even with the fight just 4 days away, I'm still in disbelief that it's actually happening. Can't wait!

That'd be you, halfwit. Look at what you typed, then walk into oncoming traffic.

walk into traffic for being a factual man? a halfwit is a guy like u how will believe what your told instead of seeking the truth...

feelings vs facts...hint: it never ends good for feelings

les knew the purse that was acceptable...so that tells me it had a chance he was just a peaceful figure instead of one that had been through the cold war..

les moonves gave us proof that he wasnt kicking haymon off of showtime, firing espinoza, or ending floyd's contract if this fight did not happen...

now i know here comes someone heartfelt response instead of some facts...idk why i waste my time here

Good sh it les. He knew Espinoza fu cked up with all the money they were losing on floyd. He knew pacman as the only logical choice

Las Vegas - Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao meet Saturday in a fight many thought would never happen -- but which came together thanks to the determination of US entertainment power player Leslie Moonves.

After years of false starts and finger-pointing, the twisting road to the spectacle set to shatter all boxing records for viewership and revenue wound through many locales, from the exclusive reaches of Beverly Hills to NBA courtside seats in Miami.

According to Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum, Moonves -- the chief executive of CBS Corporation -- kept the train on the rails.

"It started when Les Moonves came to my house," said Arum, the founder of Top Rank Promotions.

Jesus Pac is dumb as fcuk.

How could a human being be lied to and manipulated for years without their knowledge?

Hard to believe really.

Some folks badly need a mentor/adviser, pity that nobody had Pacs back.

Pac realised, a couple of months back, that Mayweather genuinely wanted the fight..... next thing, it gets signed, just like that.

Anybody who places any blame whatsoever on Mayweather, for the length of time it took to make this fight, is a mindless turd. This is the result of a plan that is near completion, Bob Arum should be shot.
