    If you see a sudden and huge drop in the number of forum members online a few hours before the deadline, it's because they're busy preparing their "Floyd, what a *****" photoshop pics that they will unleash once the clock hits zero and if Floyd hasn' signed.

    I got bored and stopped reading about these negotiations weeks ago. What's the situation at now then? Pacquiao's agreed to random blood testing? Floyd agreed to 50/50 split?

    And they'll all have to start their very own threads to do it in.

    This whole saga has put me more off the fight than build me up for it. Only in boxing could you have this farce.

    If I didn't find UFC so tedious,i'd have jumped ship a while ago.

    Arum has said Pacquiao has agreed to everything Mayweather asked. 50-50, drug testing up to the fight and so on.

    You think a ticking clock on a website will be the deciding factor for Floyd?:lol:

    The question is, is Floyd happy with the deal and is he prepared to fight again this year knowing Roger may be in prison. Personally I think there will be no response from Floyd tomorrow and Pac will fight Margarito in Mexico.

    I will no longer have any interest in Pac-Floyd if it doesn't happen this year - I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    Floyd needs to stop being a *****. This **** makes boxing look like a joke. People asked me if this fight would happen but now the mainstream fans are bored of this.

    For me, theres no way floyd is going to do it

    He would lose face. If he accepts now because theres a ticking clock on a website, its an admission that it is him who has been holding up the fight, and also completely giving in to Arums demands. Hes not gonna do it.

    If they announce a Pac Vs somebody else fight straight away I think thats the reason for the ticking clock, make a deadline they know floyds not going to answer so they can get on with it.

    Wonder who floyd will fight if pac goes for marg/cotto...

    In fairness Pac went back on his demands and said he would do olympic style testing. Floyd's been a ***** by leaving it this long. 50-50 down the line and olympic testing. They should do winner takes a higher percentage.

    I honestly dont think we can make any kind of judgements on whos doing what based on whats being said in public by each party.

    Theres been no agenda free unbiased info at all.

    This could potentially be the biggest blatant duck at this level since Bowe refused to fight Lewis.

    Mayweather will lost massive respect if he doesn't sign and rightly so.

    Wouldn't surprise me if there is some sort of crappy-WWE scene...

    Arum and Manny have a press conference at midnight to announce Pac-Marg, just when they're about to start the meeting, Floyd's "money, money, money" theme song starts playing and Floyd walks in with his signed contract and slams it down on the table.

    Queue star-down between Floyd and Pac before Arum runs up and hits Floyd with a steel chair.

    It's blatantly Mayweather doing the ducking.

    Refers to Pacquiao as "extraordinary" and can't believe his improvement so late in his career, and then he starts the drug BS campaign. He wants no part of Manny.
