    He already has ruined his legacy by putting it off as long as he has.

    If Bap makes excuses he needs to fight Khan, or GGG. The Garcia fight would be a joke, and I definitely will not support that decision.

    Insist on a date that was already taken? No one signed yet, and Cinco de Mayo is Floyd's date period.

    truth is the fight now wont affect their legacies as much as it would have back in 2009. Now its not really comparing both im their prime like back then. in 2009 i had Floyd winning a close UD but now it will be more of a who's more past it than who was the best

    Both of them deserve plenty of blame. I definitely think Pacquiao should actively seek to make concessions and do whatever it takes to make the fight. Right now - he should be telling the world that May 2 is fine by him, and that he will make sure Arum makes it for that date, or something like that. Right now Floyd should be trying even harder to actively make the fight. I found his recent interview on Showtime cringeworthy. He should be screaming "ANYWHERE, ANYTIME!" He shouldn't be making a fuss about the date, and Arum shouldn't be amplifying that.

    Unless there's some real progress happening behind the scenes that none of us are privy to (which may be the case), then it looks like the cycle's repeating, and if that is the case - it just proves that neither of these guys wants the fight, and it's freakin' baffling!

    Cotto-Canelo has a lock on that date. Floyd doesn't want to fight Pac on any other dates, why? And what is your opinion on other floyd demands that pac will not recieve $40M this time and Pac should bow down to him?

    If floyd insists on one date only, I would rather have the cotto-canelo fight. Floyd has so many demands that it's virtually impossible for the other side to concede to all of them.

    Everything is quiet now. Pac has stopped talking. Arum is quiet. Floyd is quiet. Paulie and Espinoza aren't talking now. One gets the sense, the powers that have presented the ultimatums to Floyd and Haymon. And everyone is waiting for the "Yes" from Floyd. They expect the Yes. Everyone expects the yes. But Floyd doesn't want to give the Yes because of course, he wants his GUARANTEED choreographed scripted wins from Al Haymon. The ultimatums are Showtime pulling the future dates to Haymon and TMT which would destroy Floyd and Haymon, who have nowhere else to go (HBO dumped them already). Floyd has to be hoping that's just a bluff and he can beat Les Moonves. And he can do his next PPV fix vs. Thurman or whoever and the fans will buy again.

    Floyd is at the dead end. But he's not yet ready to turn around and fight Pacquiao. he's still looking for a way out. he's escaped and ducked so many times before he instinctively thinks he can duck again. Floyd thinks he can duck and lie and deceive his way out of this mess.

    Les Moonves is the key, he must hold firm and blackball Floyd and Haymon if they try to duck.

    You must be new to boxing believing Floyd who has a history of lying and talking with no action.

    Remember this?
    Floyd: "Yes Pacquiao, you're next"
    Floyd a few days later: "I never said that, don't put words in my mouth"

    :rofl:rofl:rofl

    What's your opinion on Floyd giving up a date that he's been fighting for nearly a decade? Why should he give Canelo his date when he whooped him for 12 rounds? He's the A-side, and what are you event alking about Pac receiving less than 40m? If they split 70/30, Pac will still make more than 30% because of PPV rev, and 70/30 is not that bad of a deal seeing that Pac sold 250k with Algieri, and he's been knocked out recently.

    He should fight Pac or just retire. Pushing him to fight GGG is just hatred. That guy is waaaaay too big. **** khan, Floyd can make a case of just cleaning up 147 by beating Thurman and Brook before retiring. But still **** him if he doesn't fight Pac.
