    Breaking: @FloydMayweather & @GoldenBoyBoxing have been told @trboxing won't negotiate Pacquiao-FM in order to pursue 4th fight with Marquez

    Does everyone now understand that bob arum doesn't want to make the paquiao fight with mayweather.



    Makes the result the other day seem even more annoying now :-(

    Y'know, I'm done with Pacquiao and Mayweather, I don't care anymore. If they aren't fighting eachother, and their other opponents don't even get a fair shake, than I'm not tuning in to watch their disappointing **** PPVs. All it is is Pacfags and Floydfags arguing continually about the same old **** and it's boring. I'll tune in for a Martinez fight, but this weekend has drained me of any interest. Promoters have killed boxing. Let me know when people start fighting again.

    Doubt it very much. Khan doesn't need the fight this soon.

    He doesn't need it but he'll jump at the money to be made.

    Not that he really cares but it should now be abundantly clear who's behind the fight not happening

    floyds not got many option now, sexy sergio or khan seem the onnly viable money generating options for me

    i hope jmm tells them to do one to be honest hes put up possibly a carear best performance all things considered and still couldnt get the nod

    To be honest I don't really care who he fights out of Pac/Sergio/Khan - all 3 are great fights.

    He's rightly the favourite against Pac and Khan. Favourite v Sergio if its at something stupid like 150.

    Says it all really. They know PBF would stop Pacman. Cannot say I am surprised. They would give up $50 Million to avoid being humiliated. I think all the *******s should now be aware.

    Yeah coz Arum cares more about Pacquaios reputation than he does about money....

    Floyd hasn't actually signed anything, has he? Those two are as bad as each other.

    i'm pretty sure that floyd said the other week that khan would have to get past that wonder kid who trains with mayweather(can't think of his name just now..is it jesse vargas??) before floyd deems amir worthy of a shot

    Yeah, it was Vargas. Unfortunately Vargas looked like dog**** and no one would want the fight. Mayweather's weird - he puts obstacles in the way of decent fights just so he can be in control.

    I'm glad.

    There needs to be a 4th Pacquiao vs Marquez fight.

    Pac vs Mayweather wouldn't actually be that good a fight anyway, leaving aside the result.

    All ''Superfights'' tend to be a letdown, have been since the 1980's. DLH/Trinidad sucked, Lewis/Tyson sucked etc etc.
