    Well, thinking back to the Jan 2010 negotiations. They were actually planning for a March fight, IIRC. That wouldve left them 2 months of promotion. But, I understand your point. More time is better. However, this one needs very little promotion, IMO.

    Why? Do you see Álvarez not as good as people seem to think HE is, or maybe Cotto being an illusion of his former self and at too high a weight. Or something completely different?

    Agreed in theory, but not sure how that would actually play out in practice.

    Well, I guess the good news is neither has yet signed to fight anyone else. So if any fights are to happen that date (Cotto-Canelo, Floyd-Pac, Floyd-?, etc) - I can't imagine we'll be waiting to hear the news too much longer.

    Exactly. Can't really lose with either fight (Cotto-Canelo or Floyd-Pac). Anything else would be a let down, IMO. We shall see.

    It doesn't matter what details are posted

    The floyd fans will continually deflect the truth and act like Floyd wants the fight while blaming others even though sources after sources say otherwise. They will twist and spin what they read or pretend they never read it if it goes against what they want to believe. It's a really delusional group of fans.

    TBE = The Best Excuses

    Maidana 3 and Maidana 4 coming up next year for all you floyd lovers.

    I feel for Pac and Arum, theyve done and tried everything to make this fight happen for the fans.

    Some other information for the Floyd fans from the same chat with Dan.

    Regarding Arum and the 5/2 date that Floyd fans cling onto because they have run out of excuses:
    "Let's get one thing perfectly clear -- it is not Top Rank and Bob Arum looking to go on May 2 to screw Floyd. They don't care about the May 2 date. That date is the date Golden Boy and Canelo want for his next fight. It's not Arum."

    Regarding the 40m offer that Floyd fans constantly talk about to protect their coward hero:
    "Exactly. What they also forget is that it was a flat fee with no participation in the overall revenue. Manny and Top Rank would be total morons to take that deal. Why would you take such a small piece of a pie probably worth $200 million or more? Stupidity."

    Floyd saying the fight must happen on SHO only and Floyd fans thinking this isn't a roadblock:
    "Manny is exclusive to HBO."


    I hope the Floyd fans read and wake the hell up for once. They're too damn stupid to even post with.

    this doesn't really mean anything...

    Pac could be making floyd 50-50 offers. We just have to wait and see.

    PAC wanted to fight for free, so the fights a go? Don't you remember fighting for charity?

    Don't do that... the Floyd fanatics have been saying for years that Manny needs to call Floyd out in public to make the fight.... he finally does it and now ain't nothing coming back from TMT... c'mon man

    it's not about "doing that" but i'm just saying like. Your telling me not to do that but who's to say dan rafael is 100% impartial to the situation? He's called Floyd a ducker several times in the past. All i'm saying is dan rafael isn't at the negotiating table and whoever is his resource could be partial to one side as well.


    and Les Monves doesn't have a boxing background. We as fans just need to sit tight and the truth will come out when it needs to. Otherwise we are just pointing fingers without fully knowing who is doing what.

    Dan Rafael's reporting carries for more weight than forum posters *****ing and moaning as if they were in the know. So yes, it does mean something.

    Floydettes in a power meeting lmao.

    Good thing fat dan made that obvious about the 40mil issue floyd keeps shooting in the air. Now everybody who tries to be up to date to this fight now knows floyd is ducking bad.

    i think TBE will now mean THE BEST EXCUSE. lmao
