    If the issue of drug testing is agreed upon. The fight will be made.
    And it will probably be 50/50. 2 biggest stars and too much money for the fight to be derailed over the split.

    I'm confident the fight will happen. I'm not going to get too pissed at either side for what amounts to typical big-fight negotiations. A ton of posturing is to be expected because each guy wants every edge possible, no matter how seemingly insignificant to fans.

    As long as the fight happens, I won't hold the drawn-out negotiations against either of 'em.

    Let them enter the ring at the same time. No music, no dressing it up, just two all-timers coming out to fight. I think that'd go over well. Split screen with both making their ringwalk.

    Again, it was from a previous failed negotiation and is not still on the table. That said, I can see it being agreed to.

    That's how I feel. They can play it any way they like, but just get the ****ing fight done.

    I think they finally will agree on the terms to make the fight happen.Both fighters know there is no other exiting fight out there for them right now,that make sense.They both wants this huge payday.Manny Pacquiao will retire after this last big fight.

    nope nope lol. hes saying a lot to floyd, its just that u dont get it. i do, but its a way of talking that most people wouldnt understand i guess. roger gives floyd exactly what he needs. he doesnt need specific advice, cause he can decipher for himself the subtleties of the fight, but roger will give floyd general observations from the outside that can give him a different angle of seeing things.

    add to that, floyd usually has everything under control in his fights so there is little for roger to add if floyd is doing exactly what hes supposed to be doing.

    what an imbecile lol.

    firstly, couldnt care less that i didnt compliment u. secondly, i said floyd is in autopilot when he has everything under control, ala the marquez fight. this is the same for every single fighter, ever. where trainers come in handy, is when things arent going totally great, and what ass doesnt want his main guy there at a situation like that. for those situations, like previously stated, roger IS saying a lot to floyd, its just that u arent able to relate.

    why you mad?
    Fighters are NOT always on autopilot when things are in control. If you really think that boxers haven't sabotaged themselves when they're ahead,you should rethink how much you actually know about boxing that doesn't involve Floyd.

    Floyd does several things right and has rarely needed trainer advice outside of "keep doing what you doing" lately. If that's your definition of when Roger needs to step in and right the ship, you're undercutting Floyd's abilities. He's not beyond a cornerman to point out what he may not be able to see but most of the time,since he hasn't lost more than 4 -5 rounds in a while,Floyd will figure things out on his own.His dad could corner for him if Roger winds up back in the clink come November.

    Whatever it may be, the majority(myself included) just can't think this fight will possibly happen because of all the criticism and unnecessary trash talk from both sides which both seem to take way too seriously, especially the Mayweather camp. If they agree on 14 days then there must be something else to ruin it and so far it's rumored to be the purse.

    i think the fights gettin made...i like how Team Mayweather have kept from the media about all of this even when Arum and camp consistantly bombard the media with bullshyt after bullshyt.
