    Friendly tip of advice, last year when every person on every side was denying any negotiations for a possible fight... Manny was the ONLY one saying there was talk. Arum denied it, Mayweather denied it, so on so forth, but Pacquiao just kept saying they were negotiating and everyone else played dumb.

    Why I believed him? Because I know Pacquiao isn't a liar and if he says something there's a 95% chance it's the truth. He hasn't proved me wrong thus far. I got all my info regarding the May/Pac fight from what HE was saying and he never once was wrong- even when others denied it before it was officially announced.

    So, I'd take his words a little more seriously. Just my experience.

    I hope this is all a smoke screen, rather see pac win his last fight then to loose to mayweather again. Stylistically, mayweather is just all wrong for pacquiao and another fight will provide similar results.

    Considering Arum is his promoter and a fight can't be negotiated w/out his consent. I'd call Pac's video BS

    Though you have a point, the word "negotiating" can mean alot of things. Chances are mgm/top rank sent a offer or a letter of interest and Floyd maybe just threw it away to never respond.

    I don't remember a time when Arum, and the Mayweather side side said it wasn't being negotiated and Manny did. I remeber Roach stating that he got Arum together with the dude from CBS, and from there it was pretty much on. I DO however remember Manny saying he signed the contract, when it came out later that a contract had not even been drafted yet. So there's a lie for you.

    You can pretty much expect to see Pacquiao- Crawford signed by Christmas. Also expect that if it's close Crawford will get the decision. Write that down, and remember I said it, so when I come back and say I told you so. lol

    Why, so Uncle Bob can have his new cash cow.

    100% it happens next year. 85% chance it's in the spring. 15% chance it's in the fall.

    A long time. Arum denied negotiations all the way into January. Sometime past it in saying Mayweather himself wasn't involved. That they were trying to reach out but no one was answering. Roach said that he didn't believe it'd happen and wasn't aware of talks. Pacquiao said, "yeah, we're talking with Mayweather's side right now. I think it'll happen in May." He was saying all this BEFORE NOVEMEBER. Waaaaayyyyy before anyone actually took the thought of May/Pac seriously.

    Mayweather on the other hand wouldn't say whether or not they were negotiating, and often than not, he would say how Arum's in the way and fight won't happen till his gone even though they were at that time negotiating with him.

    The difference is... When everyone was saying that "we're reaching out but they're not answering" Pac was saying, "no, we've been talking and negotiating."

    Also, Manny wasn't lying. He did sign his contract. He posted it on his Instagram the night Mayweather released the news and said, "Here, this was the contract I was talking about. I just want to show it so people know I wasn't lying."


    Go look it up. Trust me dude. I followed these negotiations so closely since September after the 2nd Maidana fight. Don't fight me on this.

    Pacquiao doesn't want Crawford or Khan Or anyone for that matter.

    He wants Mayweather. That's the only guy he cares about. Doesn't matter what Arum wants. Manny wants money and that lies in Mayweather, and if it falls through, then Khan.

    I say Crawford's chances to fight him next are least. I'd love the fight! Just telling you how it is.

    Well, 100% if all goes according to plan. Obviously, life could throw some hurdles and mess things up.
