    as much as i see constable sticking in pacs corner with everything he does he has a point its all looking a bit suspect at the minute thats just my opinion

    i just hope fans take neither sides corner when this falls through because they can go f@ck themselves trying to sell vargas/khan/cotto 2 to us next

    It took hbo/showtime 15 months to make tyson/lewis. I'm not surprised these negotiations are complicated

    and... Pacman has been the biggest money fight for Floyd for about 6 years now and he has yet to make it.

    so much for "I fight for checks"

    Floyd and Pacquiao aren't going to be around much longer so HBO and Showtime have a vested interest to get the fight done while they can. Plus, just having the fight is a good thing for boxing as a business in general. It's pretty obvious that Floyd is up to his usual tricks to avoid the fight while trying to shift blame away from himself.

    HBO just signed Canelo. They HAVE GGG and Kovalev, and Wladimir Klitschko.

    You think they give a rats @ss about the 37 yo Pac who's probably losing their money with 300K buys.:huh:huh:huh

    I've been saying trying to figure out this split would be a nightmare. They gotta figure it though, everyone is too far invested in this now. Floyd Cotto is not gonna cut it now, they will do far more harm to the stock of their fighters than good if this doesn't happen now...the expectations for it happening are just too high now. If their not gonna do it they better cut now and announce their b.s. fights because everyday they wait the worse for them.

    Honestly that what I always figured until a few weeks ago where I saw a recent interview from "Koncz" or however you spell his advisors name is saying the opposite

    Pacquaio himself knows this deep inside he is a fighter and he knows his limits I am not saying he would not try and roll the dice and give it his best but Mayweather is to skilful for him and will make him look silly and clumsy it will be horrible viewing for the pac fans Mayweather will give him a boxing lesson.

    Mayweather has a 5 inch reach advantage and he is also the bigger fighter and is physically more stronger pac will have to work that much harder to keep up with the bigger guy he is not only bigger but he is also smarter and will toy with manny it will be a long frustrating night for manny
