    I personally don't think this fight has any real significance any longer. Pac has been beaten twice, and the other fella has regressed. It is now no more than a cynical money making ploy.

    I have Zero sympathy with the fools that will pay to watch it.

    3rd network source just said there's no Showtime/HBO deal yet on #MayweatherPacquiao despite Arum's comments to AP. "Nothing has changed."

    So basically you're not a boxing fan?

    Wrong forum mate.

    Arum confirmed lying again. Where are y'all at?

    Why would Arum block the fight? Read below:

    So, what does Bob Arum really want? If the fight is made, he'll make a few million bucks, but what does that mean to a guy who already has hundreds of millions in the bank and a life expectancy of five or six years? On the other hand, making the fight would mean conceding a number of victories to Mayweather: he would be getting the lion's share of the purse; the fight would be happening on his cable network; the fight would be happening on his chosen date (not coincidentally, a date Arum wanted for one of his other fighters); and, most likely, the fight would result in a victory in the ring for him, which would elevate his legacy while diminishing that of Pacquiao, a man Arum has called the best fighter he's ever seen. It's fair to say that even in his younger days, when Arum's mouth and ego squared off against his wallet, they triumphed more often than not. Now, in what in all likelihood will be his last chance to be involved in an event that captivates the public at large, does Arum want to wind up his career conceding every significant negotiating point to a man he hates and doesn't respect? A man he views as the ungrateful Anakin to his Obi-Wan?

    Make no mistake. Floyd Mayweather is not afraid of Manny Pacquiao, and Manny Pacquiao is certainly not afraid of Floyd Mayweather. Both men want, and in Pacquiao's case need, to be part of yet another record-setting payday. And, to their credit, both men are saying and doing all the right things to get the fight made. The only one involved in these negotiations who doesn't seem to want this fight to happen is the person who needs it least, Bob Arum. He's also the last person seemingly still fighting his hardest to prevent it from happening.

    Good stuff... It sure appears accurate. Especially at this moment. However, you would think dude would want to be temembered as a guy who helped make it happen as he has done with other great fights in the past, but at this moment that doesn't seem true.

    It's not necessarily true. Both football and handball players would struggle with each others sport in the beginning. That's just how it is. There's "rest" time in handball too.

    You are sprinting more and running longer in football.

    Floyd ain't no ganster.

    Real gansters got big time power and will knock a mother ****er out or die tryin.

    A real ganster is hard as a mother ****er and if you cross a real ganster, you know.

    That's Pacquaio.

    He's a REAL ganster.

    What ya'll don't understand about that?

    A real ganster is a killer.

    Floyd has to turn it off. If you turn it off and you run and you act like some dude bit your hand through your glove, you ain't a real ganster.

    When you gotta hold on for your life and complain at the ref when your opponent is hittin you LEGALLY, you ain't a real ganster.

    Floyd is not a real ganster.

    Just filed story to http://latimes.com/sports on latest @FloydMayweather @MannyPacquiao update. TV official tells me broadcast deal not final.

    Lance Pugmire @latimespugmire · 7m 7 minutes ago
    Not done, but Thursday talks paused with James Brown as host, Jim Lampley doing play-by-play, Al Bernstein as lead ****yst.

    Lance Pugmire @latimespugmire · 7m 7 minutes ago
    The talks broke with Jim Gray and Max Kellerman assigned to fighter interviews. Again, not final, but the plan as of now...

    Lance Pugmire @latimespugmire · 6m 6 minutes ago
    As one individual in the broadcast said, "There's not a fight yet, is there?"

    Purposely letting up on fighters, like Margo and Sugar, so they can finish on their feet is not very gangster... Per you dumb definition above.

    You really are f##kin $tup!d.

    Who the hell is James Brown?

    Are they going to have Roy or Malignaggi?
