Business-wise. How can Floyd recover on this PR disaster?

Too true, he could of merely been saying it so that he doesn't **** mayweather off enough to a kill a fight in 2011.

 

Floyd is being trashed and he deserves it!! He obviously wants no part of Pac, I knew when he proposed the whole "drug testing" thing early that it was a way out, which is what he wants a way out.. Michael Wilbon called him a coward on PTI and that's what he is if he doesn't make this fight!!

 

I went to the May/Mosley fight and stayed at the MGM Grand (bungalow suite, it was very nice).

Your point sucks too BTW.

 

Doubt it. This is Arum we talking about here. Floyd can't manipulate him or play head games with this guy. He knows he can't be a spoil brat and have his way with him. He is in a very bad spot know. He needs to defend himself because the fans are now seeing just what kinda person he really is.

 

How does his help Floyd? If you noticed Arum has not disrespected Floyd at all through this whole process. We hear the rants about Arum the liar and ****, but Floyd has not addressed the fight at all. I do not think he really wants it. Then Manny agrees to all his terms and send a contract to sign and you don't better yet don't say ****? He had almost 2 weeks to make this last deal happen, more than enough time if you wanna to make changes and stuff. I am tired of this and the reason why UFC is whooping off in boxing ass right now. This sport is done even if this fight happens or not.

 

He can recover by agreeing to fight. I still think something is up and this isn't over with just yet. We heard Roger saying Floyd isn't gonna retire, and we heard Floyd give out a clue he's releasing a cd when the biggest fight in history goes down. I'll give it another week to see how it plays out and hopefully we will have a mega fight on our hands.

 

Fridays are for political newsdumps.

The fight will be announced sunday afternoon or monday morning.Maximizing the amount of "free" news time on espn.

The Wilbon coward thing was great for Floyd.On monday and going forward to the fight date Floyd will be tarred and feathered a lot more by these guys.I am amazed how everyone knows Floyd is "playing" the bad guy and yet he is still able to rouse up genuine emotion in people.If this fight is signed on sunday or monday I really have to say I think it will be successful financially.This good guy/bad guy thing is already taking a strong root for this fight.Great great marketing so far.

 

That is what I said in an earlier post but Floyd will have to do something by next week. Most business proposals are not done on weekends so I am sure Team Pac will give Floyd a few days grace period next week. Floyd has to say something. Manny is going full speed ahead with this fight, Floyd is still thinking do I really want it with this guy. He just need to pull the trigger and call it a day for Nov 13th.

 

Its possible Floyd still signs.

Big news Floyd declined (unofficially) so the fight is out there, negative press or not.

Be even bigger news when Floyd pops up and signs. More media coverage.

But thats just being hopeful, until then, void is void.

 

I think the fight will go on. Nobody wants to see Pac vs Cotto 2 or Margarito, it makes the most sense and money for both fighters, and Floyd isn't called money for nothing. Its just a big pr stunt, once Floyd speaks and signs this **** is gonna blow up like crazy. But like you said void is void until then.

 

spot on!

 

What if Floyd refused random testing.

 

i thought floyd is a very smart business man??!! are you gonna let your competitor to smack you down? say something floyd!

 

geez...

did pac refused random testing?

 

You guys know Manny won't go near a winning fighter.

He'll just fight another guy with a RECENT ko loss on his record.
