    Here goes Espinoza, dumping cold water on the negotiations via Twitter again.

    I swear, every time he talks about "nothing being finalized", it's always with a hint of glee that it isn't done yet. F*** this guy.

    it;s just dumb, sites claiming 'deal is done' only to hear it's not.

    Espinoza needs to explain why he is taking so long to strike a deal

    I'd bet it's him being lazy with communication to HBO and possibly to Floyd, and not being willing to make appropriate concessions on the TV deal whatsoever, to ensure that Showtime gets the lions share of whatever's coming.

    But God knows Espinoza seems to enjoy the attention he gets from tweeting about it not being done. Recently, he's been crowing about how how the outcome, whatever it may be (in his mind) will never affect his job security, Showtime as a whole or Mayweather. He's beginning to look like a chronic attention seeker.

    HBO could be at fault too, but their limited communication in the press has been pretty positive, unlike Showtime and Espinoza.

    Getting Mayweather to agree might be a whole different ball game than this as well.

    I read it's done but they will sign tomorrow right before big announcement. If they sign too far in advance it will leak before official announcement.

    Looks like it's on.

    This is what I meant. Biggest as in the amount of exposure it will receive around the world. The media attention of today compared to 40 years ago is almost laughable. This is biggest because it will be known by almost everyone in the world probably, and seen by who knows how many. The exposure-level that May/Pac will bring to the world stadium is to a level no fight has ever brought or may bring again in many years to come.

    "Just" a beatdown :rofl If Mayweather gets beatdown, there will be no "just". I'll probably pass out.
