    The situation he has now has nothing to do with this. I'm not sure how bad it is but I'm sure he's being tremendously pressured by Showtime to fight Pac because that is simply where we at right now. Due to Pac putting a lot of stock back into the fight here recently, and in combination to him allegedly having taken VADA for the past three fights.

    We are simply at a point the general public is aware of the only thing that should happen right now (fight Pac) as even casuals are aware of the situation and realize the time is now. Anything other than Pac and Floyd's stock can take a serious hit right now, no one seems to be feeling even the second place fight, Khan (although I like it) So, it's not about what only Floyd wants to do, truth is, he is feeling the effects of that very lucrative Showtime deal he signed.

    I doubt anyone besides the people behind the scenes know what is happening

    That's the reality. No reason for it not to happen now.

    1. He didn't insist on one date.
    2. Pacquiao turned down 2 $40 million offers.

    Pac****s think that Bob makes the rules.i don't understand why Floyd gets only blame.both should be blamed here.both want to dictate the terms.

    Still this fight is next to impossible to make,Bob or Floyd don't want to bend over even the slightest.too big egos.

    Pursesplit,date,venue,promoting etc.. Both want everything on own terms

    Both fighters aren't splitting $200 million. Mayweather and Oscar split $72 million.

    Do people expect this fight to sell twice that much with like > $ 4.5 million ppv buys?

    Irony. Floyd fights Maidana, his haters say he should've picked Khan because Khan beat Maidana. But if he chooses to fight Garcia, who KOd Khan, it's still wrong.

    Hater logic 101.

    Actually it just found the info.http://www.forbes.com/fdc/welcome_mjx_mobile.html. Floyd Canelo did 150 million so tell me again how 200 is far fetched? So yeah looking at an 80/20 split at best.

    How come Floyd's fans can admit the blame falls on both sides but Pacquiao fans cannot?

    Go back and read what I said, not once did I state my opinion or say Garcia would be a better opponent. I just pointed out the flawed logic. You can argue Khan is a better opponent,because he is, but don't use his Maidana match as justification.
