    Pacquiao fans don't get to patronise anyone.

    Mayweather fans have been with him for a decade.

    They're not abusive, morons, who jumped on the bandwagon 2 years ago, as they enjoy trolling on boards

    Come on. Seriously.

    The only reason Manny fought Cotto and Margarito is the fact that they had lost recently, were past their best, and were the biggest names in the division.

    Floyd tended to go for the old, big names as well.

    Cotto and Margarito were feared, largely unbeaten guys, who were no real draw, and no real name, when they were calling out Mayweather.

    Not big names, guaranteeing him $25 million

    Ahhh, how sweet.

    You actually believe all of these mystery benefactor stories!

    Can I save you some time.

    Bob Arum makes stuff up, to keep fans happy.

    This time next year, you'll be paying $50 to see Cotto 2

    The fight won't happen until Manny goes into negotiations, being willing to do full random drug testing.

    You know, Manny being willing to accept his own demands, isn't really much

    The ...... BUSINESS ....... SIDE of This Whole Thing

    IS WHATS KILLING THIS FIGHT :deal

    its not manny's fault .....its not floyds fault !

    It's Their ' TEAMS ' that stop it from happening :deal

    Neither Side will let their fighter have the SMALLEST DISADVANTAGE :-(

    ARUM Does NOT Want the Fight .....why would he ???
    he is making more money selling Top Rank / in house Fights and
    promoting manny into a mega star !!!!!
    manny is the new elvis :deal
    why risk manny in ONE Risky fight which he possibly could lose
    for 50 million when he can fight 3/4 times a year at 25 million a fight
    against competition he will easily beat !
    Arum wants to keep manny winning and keep the public buying the pacquiao
    product ......its a Gold mine :deal
    Arum has played a smart game jumping to SHOWTIME
    he knows floyd is loyal to hbo and will never sign a deal to give top rank / showtime the bigger slice of the purse . floyd would have to eat humble pie
    and take less money to the pacquiao promotion ...... money mayweathers pride will never settle for less cash ........ARUM KNOWS THIS :deal
    Arum will keep on claming floyd is scared and manny is the p4p


    NOW ON TO FLOYDS TEAM .....

    Forget Steroids ...Floyd is not scared of manny floyd is scared of Mannys
    STATUS :deal
    Floyd knows manny is the New FACE of BOXING and he can't stand it
    he knows the public are on manny's side and he is terrified that he will
    have to eat humble pie and take a smaller chunk of the purse :deal
    the truth is manny is the bigger superstar than floyd !!!!!
    Thats why floyd is trying to Demonise manny with steroid allegations
    to try and get the public on his side :deal
    weather manny is on PED's...... or Not ...... is completely Irrelevant

    BOTH TEAMS are Playing ' A VERY SMART GAME '
    trying to Demonise their Opponent and get the public on their side !

    US THE BOXING LOYALISTS should Not side with ONE SIDE

    WE SHOULD BE ANGRY WITH BOTH TEAMS

    The Business teams Behind floyd and manny is what is KILLING this Dream Fight for US :deal

    Neither side will let their fighter have the SMALLEST DISADVANTAGE
    THATS WHY NEGOTIATIONS FALL APART

    It's SIMPLY BUSINESS and BUSINESS is ' MONEY '

    Would a Rival Company Cave in and let the other company win ?????

    I DOUBT IT

    The sensible post. All we've heard regarding this fight is dribs and drabs from subjective sources (this includes Arum and Mayweather Sr's).

    Until someone reliable actually comes out and confirms anything, then what Boom has explained will only really be the evident truth.

    I can't see any negotiation/press for this fight being at all valid until after Floyd's court hearing. Until then, it's all just a right load of bollox.

    Yes they are.

    Hatton - Not that good & in the wrong division
    Oscar - Old
    Marquez - Old & small
    Mosely - Old

    so that is floyd's excuse or is it ellerbe why floyd won't fight cotto back in 2008 when it was the biggets fight in boxing, cause cotto is not a draw? also margarito was not a draw yet both their figths with pac has resulted in 1.25M and 1.15M PPV respectively.

    floyd has ton's of excuses not to fight certain threats.

    Pacquiao fans lost all credibility after the Mosely fight.

    You guys spent 12 months claiming Mayweather would never face him, and that he was scared of real welterweights

    Mayweather fans spent 12 months saying he'd school the guy.

    All you guys do is build people up, then change your mind depending on the result

    I remember Dan Raphael saying Mayweather was ducking Baldomir...........

    Come on. Let's stop playing games here.

    Margarito and Cotto were old names, bordering on being two of the best known boxers in the sport when Manny faced them.

    Like Mayweather taking on Judah or De la Hoya basically.

    Manny isn't taking on hungry, young, guys for bum pay cheques any more than Mayweather did.

    Manny's equivilant of Cotto or Margarito is guys like Bradley, Khan, Ortiz, Berto

    As in, $10 million, and a bit of risk
