    Well, it's a stupid title because it's quite clear he hasn't. You should edit the one here... it's highly misleading.

    Exactly, terrible reporting by the bbc.. The offer was as we all know for may 5th.. Instead it should have read pac rejects mayweathers offer and counters with an offer that floyd cannot really accept.

    No it isn't, he clearly puts in Brackets next to the title 'BBC sports', which indicates that it is the source of the article and hence should be treated as such, the title of an article written by the BBC. He is not stating that Pac literally has excepted the challenge.

    Not exactly rocket science...

    to sum it up, apparently both fighters now want the fight, but more stumbling blocks are springing up now, like the need to build a brand new venue to fit in a few thousand more fans (because now the money to be made now, is suddenly not enough.)
    just more stalling and bull****, same as usual, and still we are no nearer to getting the fight done.

    :lol: He just edited it to that. It originally said just : "Pacquiao accepts Mayweather challenge"

    Thanks for edit, macho.

    No i never mate. The title always had (BBC sport) in brackets from the very start. I have since updated it further.

    I trust it meets with your approval?

    This is classic Top Rank, they throw all this **** against the wall (excuses) and sees what will stick...we've heard "the cut", "the arena", "the date", "the license", "the money", this is ****ing stupid...and the ****ers buying this ****, just rotate the idiocy. Manny doesn't want the fight, simple as that, if he did he would take the fight.
