    I will not believe anything until the fight is signed

    Knowing how much of a coward Floyd is who doesn't like to be pressured to do something he doesn't want to do, I think Floyd is pretending, but not really serious about signing the contract and will end up stalling the fight from happening with another lame excuse and say to his floydiots that "he tried to make the fight".

    Even a semi faded Pacquiao is still going to dominate Mayweather. I said it so many times its going to be one of Manny´s easiest fight if Mayweather actually gets in the ring.

    Its simple mathematics if one guy throws 1k punches and one throw 400 punches but cant knock the other guy out then there is only one outcome. Mayweathers legs are shot its close to a mismatch

    What will you say if Mayweather ends up putting on a clinic and winning a wide decision?

    Is Mayweather good to limit the punch output of an offensive machine like Manny?

    If FMJ and Pac don't get it on, it won't be because the fight doesn't make dollars and sense. It will be because boxing is a fcuked up sport that has driven itself into niche status ...and nobody cares. Nobody cares about bad decisions (so long as their guy benefits) or bad officiating or the corruption that allows certain fighters to rehydrate two weight classes or doctor their gloves, refuse to be tested for PEDs etc, etc...a fighter goes down twice from obvious slips and the ref calls them KDs and the fans are alright with that, even though they can see it's BS. A fighter gets shafted because he's from a certain country with a small fan base and fans are OK with that... even the tv commentary cheerleads and excuses the BS decisions and bad calls that permeates this sport so long as it's for the "right" fighter.

    That's why boxing is a niche sport and respectable people are all confused about the fk is going on and too ashamed to be seen within 100 feet of it.

    With all this **** going on, how's somebody actually gonna complain about FMJ and Pac not fighting as if THAT's what's wrong with boxing?...they shouldn't even be btching about that...that's only one more symptom of how meaningless this sport is. A sport where corruption is allowed to thrive is an illegitimate sport that will crumble from the weight of it's own self-imposed mediocrity...this is one reason why AMATEURS with TWO fights are now becoming world professional boxing champs and a 49 year-old is a world champ. It's because lack of integrity has destroyed the quality of the fighters around today.

    So, don't complain about pacman and fmj never happening....i personally am rooting for it not to happen because it's what this sport deserves. it deserves the same schit it has served up and promoted from the fans all the way down to the networks. if the fight DOES happen, I hope it happens when pac and fmj are a couple of arthritic 50 somethings...and then that it makes a ton of money from y'all ignorant dumba88es who woulldn't know or care any different.

    not to take anything away from your main point, because i completely agree. boxing needs an overseeing body.
    but i would totally pay to see arthritic 50+ year old may and pac fight. i would pay for that in a heartbeat.

    i wouldn't want to see that, but to each his own...fans like you exist to make arum, etc rich.

    But I agree boxing does need a governing body...someone to organize this sport in a way that makes sense. you look at football, basketball, baseball, they're all organized like a round-robin tournament. that's how the champs are determined....based on abiity. not on popularity or where they come from. that's a system that makes sense... that's what promotes professionalism in those sports....

    back in the day, if a guy was a "professional boxer" it meant something. boxing was an established sport. but then these other sports came along and changed the game...they raised standards introduced changes to promote competitiveness, made themselves more relevant and more meaningful...and the public responded. but instead of keeping up with them, boxing chose to go the opposite route and sell out. back in the day, you would NEVER put an ameteur in there with a pro. especially not with a professional champ.... even the best amateurs started their pro careers at the club level and developed their craft over a period of years untl they qualified to fight at the elite level....and fighters were normally done by the time they hit 35. that's because younger, hungry talented guys were coming up the ladder all the time. that's the natural way of things. these days a guy can be champ seemingly forever, into his mid to late 40's because there's so little talent out there.

    lack of talent is due to the lack of opportunity and organization in the sport. until boxing is organized in a way that makes sense, it's gonna be a garbage niche sport...the super six tornament a few years back was actually the best thing to happen to boxing in about forever....because it generated rankngs and match ups based on merit and it made sense to the fans and got their respect and it was legitimate. but a lotta people don't want that to become the norm, because the really popular fighters would get beat and lose their marketability and a lotta great fighters who might not be big marquee names would dominate for years and rob the promoters of huge profits....that's why boxing needs to be run like the NBA or NFL. One overall organization in charge, implementing policies like profit sharing and salary caps, etc.

    it's the only way this sport will ever again become relevant enough for fights like pac and fmj to take place in a timely fashion.

    Errr the problems didn't start with Haymon. Boxing has had corruption problems since the beginning.

    The fact is everybody is complicit. Boxers, managers, the organisations, promoters, TV networks and even fans. Fans who spend their money on boxing which supports the corruption.
