    The early quotes are encouraging. Floyd might be forced into a corner here where he has to take the fight otherwise he's going to be a laughing stock, and contrary to what he says he does care what people will think.

    Whats all this stuff that Pac has to fight before mid march though because of his political stuff? I think they might struggle to agree a deal for then. Its not that far away.

    No need for a catchweight. Pac's body has now adjusted to WW...and by 4-5months time (which is probably when this will take place) he would have filled up even more. Besides, its not like Floyd would honour the caatchweight.

    haven't you said that Oscar was shot and weight-drained when Pac destroyed him?

    You shouldn't be talking about excuses.

    It's a welterweight fight. Catchweights are bull****, well and truly.

    But Pac is defending a title. How the hell is he going to defend his WW title and then ask for a catchweight? Doing it against a guy who's about the same size of him would be bad business.

    Exactly. No way this gets done in a few weeks. Maybe February.

    Good to hear no excuses. Let them get it on:rofl:rofl

    Pac and ATG ranked top 10 or 15 now lol. Pac is in his prime, pac is an unbeatable warrior now who defies all odds.

    It will truly take a special person, a unique fighter to beat him in a ring and not get knocked out like the rest of these cats. I wonder who is up for the job:hi:

    Pac's title is going straight to the garbage. I think his mandatory is Antonin Decarie

    God I hope someone strangles Freddie if he demands a catch-weight.

    I have alot of confidence in Pacquiao even though I'm not a *******. I think he would win it at 147 but I think for an even fight where noone has an unfair advantage it would have to happen at a catchweight.

    No way it takes that long. They've had prelim discussions. The only thing they're waiting on is the PPV numbers from the Pac/Cotto fight. Once those come in, they can set the purse split.
