    I have no interest in watching these 2 fight anyone but themselves. They went from saving Boxing to back to the B.S. politics that ruin the sport!

    I am not going to spend one penny on either of them unless they take on the winner of Mosley-Berto. Other than that, I will boycott them both unless they fight each other. Pacman fighting JMM or Foreman makes me yawn! If any of you would really spend money to watch those fights, you are desperate in my opinion.


    BOYCOTT

    agree the sport very much needs this. i think someone should intervene to save this fight. foreman, malignaggi, M Hatton and all other fighters lined up to fight pac or may should just say no fight each other first. its what the fans want. its what TV want, its what Vegas wants, its what the commisions want and its what the sport NEEDS. if they cant make this fight it will be an utter disgrace. we just need associates of the sport inc other boxers to make them fight

    Good in theory. As a fan, once the 24/7 episodes start, i'll be trigger happy with the remote punching in my PPV code on fight night.

    I did not look at this thread but I assume it is the same as mine.

    I knew someone had a brain in here to think I as I do.

    I have been commenting on every blog out there regarding a boycott. The fans are in control not the politics! We can not be fools and spend money on them fighting some losers. This would send the message.

    I will keep this boycott in their faces and all over the web until they get this fight done. If not - I will continue this boycott via social media while Mayweather and Pacman try to rip us off by fighting other guys on PPV

    BOYCOTT!

    Agreed. Pac and Mayweather camps need to sit down and realize they're jeopradizing the biggest fight that can be made. They need to come to terms and give us fans what we want to see. I could care less even if the fight is one-sided I just want to see it. Mayweather needs this fight if he wants to be P4P #1 again and there is no better fight that Pac can agree to.

    Boxing as with all sports is supposed to lead up to super match ups. Someone on here said that boxing doesnt need superbowls but I think that is an insane thing to say.

    I gave up on boxing a year or so ago. I was all about MMA. With Pacman having some great fights over the past 18-24 months and Mayweather back in the mix - my attention has been all about boxing. If these two do not pull their heads out of their asses and fight, - I will lose my recent boxing luster 100%.

    I will then be watching Strikeforce events for free and keeping my eye on Fedor

    Boxing needs this fight, they both need to get over themselves and make it happen.

    I am against a boycott of either boxer.
    More than any other match that can be made Mayweather/Pacquiao is the one that I want to see most. I will be sad if it does not happen. I will be unsatified if they take on the lesser opoents that they are rumored to be matched against should this fall through.
    My question is why should yhose opoents suffer because we are upset at Mayweather and/or Pacquiao? For the rumored opoents this could be an oppertunity of a lifetime both athleticly. What if they pulloff the upset and fincialy. this would probbly be the biggest payday of their careers.
    I don't like PPV as arule but I will not boycott their next bouts and I think you should not boycott as well.

    I disagree with you and any fan of boxing should also. Why would you "PAY" to watch an A level boxer fight a B or C level Boxer? If they fight someone not in their league it should be for free. I would not boycott them fighting a crappy fighter if it was free.

    We are the fans. We control who fights each other because we PAY. Just stop doing/paying PPV when they put together stupid match ups. Send the message.

    BOYCOTT!!!!

    Fight's not officially dead. Too much money at stake here, not just for the boxers, but everyone involved including fans. If this fight never happens, it will be a huge devastating blow to the sport and it will make some very powerful people very, very angry.
