    We are all sick and tired of endless debates over Pacquiao and Mayweather fight, sick and tired of cancellations, collapsed talks, trash-talking, accusations on both sides ...
    We, as boxing fans NEED TO ACT and MAKE THIS FIGHT HAPPEN! And in order to do so we have to force both sides into respecting our wishes because we are the ones who finance their careers by buying pay-per-views, and even worse we are the ones who put money in the pockets of greedy promoters. We need to STOP BITCHING and START ACTING RIGHT AWAY!
    I am asking the boxing community to BOYCOTT any PPV including Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, wish doesn't involve a fight between the two.
    All who agree, spread the word to all boxing forums, gyms, fans ... We need to stop waiting on Arum/Pacquiao and Mayweather team to reach an agreement, we have to ACT AND FORCE THEM TO REACH ONE!
    I'm not choosing sides here, the accusations need to stop, they need to fight and if they can not agree, we will make an agreement instead of them and make them fight!

    p.s. maybe somebody can put this into a more official form written on behalf of boxing fans and form in into an open public letter or something.

    hardcore boxingcommunity is too small to boycott it even if everyone would do it, causal fans would still make it a success.
    The boycott would have to be by the tv stations showtime and hbo and im not sure it would work then.

    We can at least try and maybe force the TV stations so that they can force both camps. If we could spark so called opinion leaders to publish our voice or make them speak for us, there could be "a revolution" ...
    the worst thing is to give in and say well, nobody else is gonna boycott, so why should I? There could be thousands of people thinking like this, having the power but not using it ...

    I guess that fighters won't fight without the promoters because they are the ones who shower them money. Irrespective of what public wants unless the promoters and tv owners agree Boxers don't fight.Its all money game.
