ESPN: 50-50 Mayweather-Pacquiao

i hope so

 

If he didn't fight him then he's scared to death from him and if he did then he's picking on smaller guys. How can someone who you claim only fights smaller guys winning titles in five different weight classes?

If he fought Mosley instead then he's ducking Pacquiao to fight "another" old fighter where the advantage is on his side.

If he fought Concreto then he's fighting Mosley left overs and is scared of Mosley.

If he fought Cotto then he's fighting Concreto and Pacquiao leftovers because he's scared from Concreto and Pacquiao.

Shoot yourself please.

 

is this margo? hahaha i can't believe i never heard that nickname before, classic

 

Not exactly.. this is all according to a "source." Lets wait for the official announcement before we get too giddy.

 

floyd should man up.....pac just said yes to him.....no more bull**** request.....just get it on!!!

 

Yep, and if he fights them all, by that time there'll be another guy coming up that Floyd will "need to fight to secure his legacy before he retires". It's never going to end in that sense.

 

i'll go for P4P KiNG!!!

 

Moron, Floyd already "manned up", which is why Arum flew to see Pacquiao to hammer out their end.

 

Is size really coming up anymore? After Pacquiao took Cotto's shots and then knocked him out?? Come on!!!!! This dude is solid lean muscle at 147. Pacquiao hasn't even looked remotely small in his last 3 fights. Even against Oscar he stood tall and very confident.

 

Pound per Round King!

 

I agree. And this is coming from a Pac fan who thinks Pac is gonna win. Pac is not a little dude anymore. He has shown that against Cotto. If Mayweather wins, I'll give him 100% props for beating the most dangerous fighter he has ever faced.

 

nono:nono

Scar is cool

 

Ban the troll.

 

chill dude, no need for that stuff

For promotional purposes, the bout will be referred to as Mayweather-Pacquiao, but Top Rank will receive first billing over Golden Boy throughout the promotion.
However, instead of a full-scale media tour, there will only be a single press conference in New York during the second week of January. With the schedule compressed because of the March 13 date for the fight, rather than May 1, which the promoters and HBO PPV preferred, it didn't leave time for a lengthy media tour.
The fight is going to take place March 13 because Pacquiao is running for a congressional seat in the Philippines and the elections are in May, which would have been a conflict between his training and the campaign.
Pacquiao will spend the first half of his training camp in Baguio in the Philippines, where he also trained for the first part of his camp in preparation for his 12th-round knockout victory against Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14. For the final few weeks of his training, Pacquiao and trainer Freddie Roach will relocate to Roach's Wild Card gym in Hollywood, Calif.
The site of the bout has not been finalized. Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has expressed interest in bringing the fight to his new stadium as have representatives from the Superdome in New Orleans. Also in the mix is the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, which has hosted several Pacquiao and Mayweather bouts. Arum has also received a proposal for a 30,000-seat temporary stadium on the Las Vegas Strip across from the Wynn resort.
