Pac says he accepted fight on May 5th IF he gets 50/50. Floyd goes silent?

    People tell me I have to go by exactly what Floyd says even when he gives contradictory remarks. So now we aren't allowed to go by what Manny says? Simple statement. Pretty direct. If he backs down from it he will fry. If Floyd doesn't accept 50/50 and many accepts May 5, then Floyd fries. This **** really is easy.

    Like when Pacquiao publicly agreed to random blood tests with a cutoff a few days before the fight? Like I said, it would be nice if we could rely on **** that Manny says, but Uncle Bob clearly has veto power over his simple ass.

    Like I said, if Manny backtracks he will be fried and justifiably so. There is a reason Floyd cut Arum out of the loop. But it cuts both ways now. If Manny holds to what he said and Floyd doesn't agree to 50/50, there is only one way this is going to be seen.

    May 5th is a Golden Boy date, Pac is under contract with Top Rank. This fight cannot happen unless Arum and Schaefer come to terms. If the date was just an open date, and the venue was still open, then it would happen.

    What happened to "Bob works for Manny and if Manny doesn't tell Arum he wants the fight it is on Manny."

    I don't care what position you guys take, just stick to one, PLEASE? :lol:

    Bob Arum will never EVER let this fight happen. The man hates Floyd so much, he couldn't even stand being in the same room, LET ALONE at a press conference promoting Floyd as a fighter. LET ALONE with his other BFF DLH in the same room.

    I don't know what you are talking about.

    Manny is under contract. He's need arum approval to step in the ring with a certain opponent.

    There is no "if". Uncle Bob has already come up with several idiotic excuses for this fight not being made on May 5th, and this won't be the first time that everything Manny says goes out the window because Bob gets the final say.
