    Hopefully Mayweather gets signed up with King and this fight gets made.

    I wonder if Arum would be happy to pull the fight with Margarito if he has a chance of making this one?

    PacGwire had his chance to fight and blew it. No way in hell does this fight happen in Nov or Dec. Too much money to be made and too little time to promote.

    In summary, Congroidsman PacGwire had his opportunity to fight and instead elected to avoid a random blood test the same way Lindsey Lohan avoids drug rehab clinics.

    Arum couldn't wait to bolt from the first set of talks, he admitted as much to Kevin Iole when he wrote an article about it so I don't think Arum wants Floyd at all when he can set up a nice easy fight with Margarito where he's guaranteed to promote the winner.

    You appear just as keen as Floyd for this fight not to happen.

    Absolutely, Floyd did it for himself, however; it doesn't make it wrong.

    I also question Floyd's stamina at this point, especially with the inactivity despite him being a year round athlete basically. If he is in a tough fight for 12 rounds, how fast does his stamina decline?

    Manny has some wicked speed though. And the way he punches, it is like he throws two punches at the same time because the one punch is right behind the other to the point where the first punch that lands still looks like it is on the target while the other one is landing. So a fighter may still be focusing on that first punch and still feels it on him when BAM! that other punches joins in the fun.

    I think that is where the Jab is a must and keeping your distance by moving/shuffling back while continually popping that Jab and shooting shots in combinations off when Pac is forced to jump in and hopefully misses... if you time it right and keep the proper distance.
    Now if that is a correct strategy and/or Floyd is still capable of doing this with his punches and with his legs, I don't know. However, there is always the chance you can pressure Pac back behind the jab and keep him on the back foot where he has shown flaws as well as some frustration when he is not in control. Or mix it up.
    Now if this is the correct way, I don't know; I'm not a pro Boxer.
    Pac's full of energy and is a tough fighter to face.

    Now if Pac continues to apply heavy pressure on Floyd and Floyd starts to have serious trouble adapting...yeah, that's going to be interesting.

    Which demands? Nobody has been able to tell us. Not Pac, not Arum, not Roach. It's all just hot air.

    :deal

    I was wondering the same thing.

    Where did it say that!? Was it lost in translation?

    Exactly.

    arum publicly called floyd to sign-up. that doesn't look like he does not want the fight now. he can earn much more from pac alone and co-promoting pac-floyd than pac-margo if you would consider that pac-floyd could surpass the highest grossing PPV to date. he can make some good match-ups for margo like cotto if he wishes.

    Could you get me a link to this article. I read a lot of Kevin Iole (not that I want to but there is really only a couple credable boxing writers) but I can't remember Arum admitting this or hinting this in any article I read.

    Iole said it on youtube about an article he wrote previously.

    I'll try and dig it out.

    Never meant that OSDT was wrong, I just feel that fight negotiations isn't where it belongs. If he feels strongly about it, petition the commission and get the rules changed. Of course, he never did that, because the only reason he wants OSDT is because of Pacquiao. Honestly, if I were Pacquiao, I would've been offended as well.

    I personally don't think Mayweather can circle and pump jabs for 12 rounds. Pac's going to get in some hard shots and put Floyd on the ropes.

    Hopefully, we'll get to see the fight and find out.

    I love Pac fans. They have themselves fooled soo badly that they are all knowingly trying to bull**** the rest of the boxing world into siding with manny.:patsch I mean the amount of times they make claims they can't back up makes me think that they couldn't give a **** what the truth is they just want everyone else in the world to STFU, stop questioning Manny and start blindly hating anyone that gets in his way.
