Anyone else feel like PBF is going to try and wriggle his way out of this fight?

    just to make it clear im not a fan of either of these fighters.
    but i really want this fight, just as i want one of them to lose it doesnt matter which one.


    With floyds"i gain nothing from beating pacman" remark , i feel now pbf will try anything maybe to wriggle out, it could be the money issue(which imo manny should get more but im happy with a 50/50 split ) if not that when maybe the weight at which they will fight.



    i really want this fight but PBF seems to act like hes the biger draw here and maybe is to scared to lose that 0

    This fight HAS to happen. If Floyd is the reason it isn't made, then his legacy will be tarnished. It's really that big of a deal.

    I think he's dissing Pac and downplaying what Pac has achieved so he can ask for the lion's share of the purse. It's like he's saying, "Pacquiao isn't a meaningful fight for me, the only way it will be worth my while is if you pay me more to fight him"

    or maybe he's scared to risk his 0

    wouldn't surprise me either way...

    if he tries to downplay it surely he's going to look the fool. pacman did something to a man many thought could stop pbf

    He will say Pacquiao has 3 losses so he isnt worthy of me and I beat JMM who in his opinion beat Pacquiao twice.

    of course thats what he does he will probably ask for 100 millions and half of the worlds gold reserves just to think about it.

    he's already downplaying it by calling Pac 1-dimensional, saying he can't adjust and dissing the fact that Pac got hit a lot during the Cotto fight.

    No, he's trying to get as much money as possible from the fight, as Pacquiao's team will try to do as well.

    But it'll most likely happen.

    Theres no way he gets out of this fight, it will happen. Pacs legacy is now cemented and if Floyd does not have that fight regardless if he continues to win, there is no way Floyd goes down in history and during his era as the best ahead of Pac. His ego is too big to let that get away without a try and the public has now caught on in recognizing Pac as the best ahead of Floyd, something that is tearing him up inside.

    if this fight dies on the vine b/c of money regardless of who is being difficult...i'll be disgusted. it would be the biggest fight in quite some time. nothing in boxing would be better for the sport than this right now.

    sweet avatar braveheart...probably a bigger fan of his now than before the fight.
