    How i see it is both camps want the fight so as long as they dont have to bow down to the other. Mayweather has been calling the shots in every negotiation since beating de la hoya and same thing with pac. Both camps feel they are the face of boxing and dont 'need' eachother.

    I see this announcement as Floyd putting his foot down saying look im going to fight who i want when i want. Its also a challenge. The ol meet me in the street at high noon and lets dance 'little fella' except the street is the MGM android high noon is cinco de mayo.

    Is this the best way to go about negotiating? Probably not. But it does tell the world, 'look, im staying active and the fight i want and am persuing is what the fans have all been waiting for.' It also tells mannys camp, 'hey i fight whoever i want, whenever i want and whereever i want, with my terms, take it or leave it.'

    Dont you all recall when bob set up that stupid conference call? Saying mayweather had till midnight to agree to fight manny on a set date (nov 13) and venue (dallas or vegas) or else they were moving on?(link provided below) SAME EXACT scenario here however its the Mayweathers calling the shots again. And bob arum had the nerve to say 'how dare they pick the time and place'??? Nothing better than giving uncle bob a taste of his own medicine.

    Bob Arum announcing Pacquiao's next fight for Nov. 13 and securing a venue at Dallas Stadium or MGM. Right back atcha Bob :hi:

    first of Floyd being the face of boxing is a joke. But let him think that.

    Manny was on Newsweek for ****s sake.

    it dont matter, both guys need to swallow their pride. I think Pac is ready to do that because his own people want him to.

    You guys want to attack *******s for going along with everything Manny says or does, but the feeling i get is that Manny felt some sort of shame that the fight didnt happen first time around

    this time he's tryin to save face

    The question should be: If PACQUIAO challenges MAYWEATHER to a street fight, will MAYWEATHER come? :hat

    It would be nice to hear Pacquaio say after the Marquez fight, should he win it that is "I want to fight Mayweather next and nobody else". Not "i just fight, my promoter tells me when to wipe my ass and jerk off." How about just fugging saying it!

    LOL
    floyd's tactic to steal some limelight from pac.
    after pac-jmm, " don't put words in my mouth" floydie will come up with an excuse to fight a different fighter and say they targeted pac first and his lovers will believe every word of it lol

    actually so many gullible people already believe in his every word ever since they first started watching floydie

    If Mayweather beats the **** out of Manny we rank him alongside Sugar Ray Leonard. If Manny beats the **** out of Floyd we rank him alongside Henry Armstrong. If its close we get a ****ing hell of a trilogy
