    Hopkins says that Bob Arum is and has always been the obstacle to making the Mayweather-pac fight.
    He says he doesn't think fans will ever see the fight while Arum is still above ground.

    Bhop towing the GBP line.

    I used to like him when he didn't care about Floyd's house or how much Floyd made

    Hopefully people will remember Hopkins' comments and not be fooled by the big announcement for May.

    I don't actually think I have to.

    All I need do is correct you in that since BHOP is a GBP partner and share profits, wouldn't he financially benefit from a Mayweather-Pac match?

    Or, perhaps you can explain to me how BHOP profits if they don't fight?

    When BHOP made the comment GBP was still assisting in promoting Mayweather fights.

    Now that the Mayweather-MP arrangement may become void, I expect in the future BHOP won't be so vocal about Mayweather's affairs.

    Eh, not sure what you're getting at, EVERYONE profits if they fight, surely that's not even an issue under discussion??

    It's the blame game, i'm amazed there's a boxing fan alive who takes anything seriously either side comes out with!

    To be clear... this means nothing, same ****, heard it all before, boring, not worth a thread, stick it in with the others...

    As fans can't we just boycott the soap opera until maybe the fight actually happens, the rest is just a big yawn

    No. Everybody doesn't financially profit from their fight.
    However, GBP and BHOP being a shareholder would profit.
    The issue is why would BHOP sabotage GBP profits by not wanting the May-Pac fight?
    Of course. He wouldn't.

    LOL!

    First Bob Arum calls for boycotting, now You. :patsch

    I don't ever recall the words boycott ever coming from the mouths of anyone associated with GBP, ever.

    Most boxing fans are fed up with the will they/ won't they sh*t, fine if you love that element of the sport but I'd just rather watch them fight. I'd go further and argue it's guys like you who love the 'soap opera' crap that prevent the fight from getting made, give's all the participants the imprssion we still care so they stew on it for longer, wake up!

    When did that become the issue, my point was we can't trust either side and BHOP has skin in the game. Not a big deal, no need for a big debate to add to the countless others.

    But everyone would profit - it would be huge for the sport, it has to be made. In fact I can't think of a loser given the boost it would give to boxing around the world.

    5 years on and people still care and are talking about this fight. Still trying to blame someone haha.

    I gave up on this fight a long time ago and I really don't care who's fault it is anymore.

    No.

    I'm a fan of both Mayweather and Pacquiao and their boxing.

    I seperate them as people from their boxing. As people, I find fault in both as is usually the case with anyone you examine close enough.

    As far as either ducking the other, I don't get caught up in that nonsense. Its' all about two things;

    1. Money
    2. Personalities

    For me, if the fight happens, it happens.
    If it doesn't, so what.
    I can't sweat that small stuff.
