    Manny is going to get his 4-6 week window to get his balco special in, the fight gets made and PBF wins 8-4.

    Maybe you should invest in Balco.
    Might get that bench press up over 220.

    Oh ****, that's right... you cant use Balco when you've been an MMA fighter for the past 10 years.

    I think the mediation is a creative way to reach an agreement without either side giving in. If Manny would agree to Floyd's request, then he is giving in and Floyd has the upper hand in negotiations and trash talk. If he backs down, Manny has the upper hand.

    Mediation allows both sides to come out equally without having to eat humble pie before the fight.

    I'm just hoping the date stays on 3/13 so i don't have to change my flight and room reservation.

    They were scheduled to meet "in the morning" so we should be hearing something soon.

    How hilarious would it be if Floyd started showing respect for Manny Pacquiao and treated him like a legit challenge?

    Mayweather always respects his opponents and always gives them credit (even if it is after the fight), the only thing is, he knows how to sell a fight and win the fight before they even step into the ring because he gets into the opponent's head psychologically.

    What I wanna see is how he would react towards Pacquaio if Mayweather loses the fight.

    He talks so much ****, none of it is believable anymore.

    At least the **** talkers in the past knew when and how to do it.

    Like anyone believes a word that comes out of his mouth anymore. The only respect he shows a fighter is after he wins, he likes to give them props so his win looks more credible.

    He only respects and compliments fighters that no one cares about. He is so phony, a child can see through his antics.

    I have found his post fight praise to be genuine for the most part. I mean, what is he supposed to do, continue the trash talk after the fight? Tell him that he knew he was going to kick his ass?

    He was very complimentary and honest in the Hatton and Marquez post fight interviews in my opinion.
