teddy atlas because he calls it like it is. if there is a robbery in the fight you know he gonna handle business

 

i believe he will begin pressuring behind the highguard around round 6 or 7. hold me to that

 

anyone can take punches like that here and there. but ill tell you from personal experience EVERYTHING HAPPENDS WHEN YOU ARE TIRED.

and regardless 10 punches in 1 combination that all land flush ? well sorry mate but given the average punches landed per round that pretty much seals that round for you? so you can laugh all you want at the punches, but it will be pac having the final laugh when he goes back to his corner with the 10-9 in his favor

 

not sure how people come to this conclusion. pac clearly has problems cutting off the ring ?

floyd has lowered all his opponents outputs (maidana 1 may be the only exception but i have not checked his numbers)

i think floyd can keep pac at bay for majority of the rounds, pac might have a chance to actually beat him on the outside though because floyd is clearly slipping when you see a guy like maidana have some success with his jab and outside punches in the 2nd fight

 

I'm curious if Roach is known as a trainer that teaches inside fighting.

 

You know exactly why there hasn't been any threads on this topic. This forum is over-run with Pac****s and Mayweather-Haters. And what happened last night in Miami does not fall in-line with their agenda. Last night was a prime example of what Mayweather has been saying all along. Pac and Arum don't and never did want this fight. It was Mayweather who called Pacquaio to make him the offer of 40 Million...remember. Than last night he flies cross-country to see/confront Pacquiao since he knew he would be in Miami (judge in Miss Universe Pageant)...Floyd walks across the court to confront Manny and said to him several times "WHY ARE YOU LYING ABOUT SIGNING A CONTRACT?" Then Mayweather gives Pacquao his number, then if that wasn't enough....Floyd goes to Pacquiaos Hotel. Mayweather has made ALL THE ATTEMPTS TO MAKE THIS FIGHT. Pac and Arum....NOTHING BUT ******* LIES.


That's why there has been NO THREAD on this topic. An entire group of people who hate Floyd don't have the Testicles to create a thread saying that Floyd was right the entire time. Testicles and Humility are not the strengths of a Pac****!!!!

 

Michael Koncz discusses Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao post-game hotel meeting

Lem Satterfield

January 28, 2015

Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao had an hour-long meeting at Pacquiao’s hotel on Tuesday night, not long after their brief courtside discussion at the Miami Heat-Milwaukee Bucks game in Miami, according to Pacquiao’s adviser, Micheal Koncz.

“This was more of a private business meeting, and I believe that as of today, Floyd is sincere about wanting the fight after last night,” said Koncz.

Mayweather has fought four of six bouts thus far to satisfy a multi-million dollar agreement with Showtime and its parent company, CBS Corporation. Meanwhile, HBO has televised most of Pacquiao’s fights. The two networks are discussing a joint venture similar to that which produced Lennox Lewis vs. Mike Tyson in June 2002.

Among the primary concerns of Mayweather, said Koncz, were the respective networks’ promotional documentaries, Showtime’s “All-Access” and HBO’s “24/7,” as well as which of their broadcasters would be assigned to work the fight. Koncz said he spoke on Wednesday morning to Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, Pacquiao’s promoter, as well as CBS Corporation Chief Executive Les Moonves and HBO chairman and CEO Richard Plepler toward resolving the problem.

“They came to an agreement on those two issues,” said Koncz. “It is my understanding that the networks will each do a special on their own fighter.”

Arum acknowledged having spoken to Koncz, as well as Moonves and Plepler

“What happened last night, you got from Michael Koncz. I wasn’t there, so I got the same report from Michael that you did. Have I talked to Les Moonves today? Yes I have, and to Richard Plepler, and everybody is working hard to finish this off so that it happens,” said Arum.

“It sounds like everybody now believes that there is a good possibility that it could happen, and that’s good. As far as I’m concerned, I just do my job and I cover the points that I have to cover, and I don’t speculate.”

Pacquiao, meanwhile, is reportedly agreeable to the demands of Mayweather, which included a 60/40 split of the purse in favor of the undefeated fighter, as well as the site of the MGM and a drug-testing protocol. Last week, Pacquiao had given Mayweather a deadline of the end of “this month” to make the fight.

“I’ve not gone on the record about money, and I’m not planning to do that now,” said Koncz. “We’re anxious to make this fight, so somebody’s got to be on the A-side, and somebody’s got to be on the B-side, so to speak, when it comes to the negotiations. So as long as those negotiations are reasonable, then we’ve agreed to it.”

Is Manny the B-side versus Mayweather?

“For this particular purpose?” said Koncz. “In this negotiation, yes.”

Koncz shared his thoughts about the meeting during this Q&A with RingTV.com:

RingTV.com: So what happened between Floyd and Manny in that hotel room after the meeting at the Heat-Bucks game?

Michael Koncz: Well, Floyd came over after we initially agreed to meet in Manny’s suite, and they met for about an hour.

RingTV.com: Can you provide any detail on them meeting face-to-face for the first time?

MK: It wasn’t the first time they have met, it was the second time, because they had met at the basketball game.

RingTV.com: But this was different, wasn’t it, because this was a more prolonged period of time?

MK: This was more of a private business meeting, and I believe that as of today, Floyd is sincere about wanting the fight after last night. What he said last night was that he truly wanted the fight. Floyd said that he truly wanted to make the fight happen, and Manny said the same thing.

But then there were some concerns and issues about broadcasting that Floyd was concerned about and that he had. My response to that, and Manny agreed, was that if there were any problems, they would be taken care of.

Floyd put (Showtime boss) Stephen Espinoza on the phone with us as well, and I said that if those are the only problems, then that’s no problem, I’ll take care of those in the morning. To us, those are minor hurdles, and I reached out to resolve both of those issues this morning.

RingTV.com: Can you elaborate on what those concerns were?

MK: Floyd was concerned about who was going to be among those working the broadcast, and Floyd wanted it to be the Showtime broadcasters.
Another issue was whether there would be a “24/7″ (HBO) or an “All-Access” (Showtime).

Floyd, myself and Manny all agreed that it was senseless to do a “24/7″ or an “All-Access” because Manny and Floyd are not your average fighter. They’re already superstars across the world and we don’t need that kind of a show.

Last night Floyd had concerns, and Stephen Espinoza had concerns about the broadcast. There were two major issues there, and one was the utilization of the commentators, and the other was surrounding the “24/7″ and “All-Access.”

My response to Floyd last night, and Manny agreed, was that those were very simple issues on our mind, and that we’ll put our foot down and take care of those tomorrow morning, which we did.

RingTV.com: How did you resolve them?

MK: By discussing it with Bob Arum, and also with subsequent discussions with Plepler and Les Moonves. They came to an agreement on those two issues. I don’t want to expose what those issues were, because I want Floyd to address that. But it is my understanding that the networks will each do a special on their own fighter.

RingTV.com: Was there anything discussion of a press tour?

MK: We didn’t really discuss that in depth with Floyd, but my position and that of Manny’s is we’re not agreeable to doing a multi-city press tour. We don’t believe that it’s necessary to do that for a fight of this magnitude.

Manny and Floyd are the two best boxers in this sport, and people have been waiting for this fight to happen for many years, and not just the hardcore boxing fans, but people who know nothing about boxing.

So, I don’t think that a worldwide press tour is necessary to promote this thing. Last night, at the basketball game — which wasn’t planned and wasn’t staged, but it happened — maybe that’s God’s will that they showed up in the same place. They’re already superstars.

But even if you went on a five-city press tour, you would not have generated the coverage that we got last night at the Miami Heat game. So we’re not inclined to be involved in a multi-city press tour. Why spend large sums of money toward a press tour when that money can go into the pockets of the fighters.

RingTV.com: Was there anything about their mutual behaviors that surprised you?

MK: No, nothing surprised me about them because, again, as I’ve said before, when we met a couple of years back, when Floyd is by himself, he’s a very pleasant, courteous, professional person.

So I wasn’t surprised. Manny was happy that we had the meeting, and I think that it was long overdue that Manny and Floyd came face-to-face, and so they see the real personalities of one another. So Manny was happy that they had the meeting.

RingTV.com: After the hour-long face-to-face interaction between Manny and Floyd during their meeting, what do you consider the likelihood of this fight happening at this point?

MK: I have no reason as of this moment to doubt Floyd’s sincerity to make this fight happen. My feeling is that I know that Manny wants the fight, and I believe that Floyd is being sincere when he says that he wants the fight.

I have no reason to doubt his sincerity at this point in time. Is that going to change tomorrow? I don’t know, but at this point in time, I believe that he is being sincere.

So I believe that Floyd wants to make the fight happen. So if Manny wants to make the fight happen, and Floyd wants to make the fight happen, then nobody can stop this from happening, and I told this to Floyd and Manny last night.

Bob Arum can’t stop the fight. Showtime can not stop the fight. HBO cannot stop it. I believe that the fight will be made if the two fighters want it to happen, and my belief, after watching them together, is that’s they both want the fight. So I believe that the fight is going to happen.

Mayweather will clown Pacquiao like he did at the Heat game

 

I don't agree with that.
Floyd's style (pot-shotting) is simply not the kind that would "keep Pac at bay", at least not on his current level of agility in the ring.
I think at this point, we will see lots of circumstances wherein FMJ will have to resort to a high guard and "freeze" like he always does when an incoming opponent throws bombs at him.
Problem is, unlike his recent opponents, Pac doesn't come in in straight lines nor does he stay in the pocket long enough for FMJ to counter.
I believe, corrupt officiating notwithstanding, those exchanges will make the judges favor Pac more and give him 10-9's.

Believe me Pac will counter the hell out of FMJ and get the better of him if the latter tries his signature lunging jabs to the body, the only sure punch he can throw against someone who moves in the ring a lot and doesn't come in in straight lines.

 

thats why this match up is so great. you can be 100% right but so can i. theres so much evidence to backup both ends. at the end of the day i just want the fight to end without a robbery, give me that much and ill be happy

 

clown? :rofl

how? :rofl

like how fighthype.com described it? :rofl

 

There've been like 12 threads on this dude… they all just keep getting moved/deleted.

 

Well said darryl1914. You do know Pac supporters are already trying to spin this as Mayweather is only doing this to save face, so when or if the fight doesent happen, his actions were only to convince everybody that he really wants the fight. Pathetic actions from Bob Arum. My biggest issue throughout this whole negotiation process over the last several years is, Arum and Pacquiao's side have not been pressured nowhere nearly as much as the Mayweather side to make the fight. Thus they've been given way to many passes for their lackluster attempts to make the fight.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl

cool story bro :rofl:rofl:rofl
