    Remember when bob arum said he had to build a new stadium before the floyd vs PAC fight could take place? Just wanted to know if anyone had an idea of how far the project has gone.

    The fight never got signed. Why would he be building a temporary stadium.

    What a ****ing dumb question.

    A certain ducking diva priced himself out of the fight, therefore no stadium

    Ok but who has the excuse RIGHT NOW.
    Ricky Hatton calls Floyd boring and Floyd jumps out of retirement to fight him.
    Paul Williams says Floyd won't fight him because Paul doesn't have a va*ina and Floyd does nothing.
    Pac calls him a straight up coward and he says nothing.

    Floyd says Manny is 2-2 in his last 4 but had no issues fighting ODH.

    Look I'm no Pac fan and I think Floyd beats him but when REAL hof fighters are saying that it's Floyd that doesn't want the fight you should wonder. How many actual fighters are saying "Manny doesn't want the fight"

    Floyds nut hugging idiots keep using things from a few years ago to make their point. Of course Mayweather fans are ******ed enough to pay for the Maidana fight.

    Probably one of the dumbest things I've heard (the stadium excuse). Both sides have had some bs excuses.

    If you think Floyd beats him, then why would you think he doesn't want to fight Pacquiao?

    It baffles me. You can point to Arum...but Floyd and Oscar don't like each other and they work it out... So why can't Floyd negotiate with Todd?

    Floyd cares most about $$ and there is no bigger fight than a Manny fight. Floyd is the A side here, so it's easier for him to get it done. His last $40 mil offer was garbage, because it was a phone call...even after Floyd said that he doesn't negotiate, that Al and Richard do it all. Even if he was serious, Manny is the only other legit PPV draw in the sport, so that was a terrible offer.

    Floyd is afraid to lose and I think that is obvious, so maybe he sees Pac as a high risk fight. Floyd isn't afraid of Pac himself... just an L on his record.

    As I said, you look at HOF fighters like Mike Tyson who says Floyd doesn't want it... This guy has been at the top of the sport and has

    You forgot to mention pacman calling out Floyd just a couple of months ago and wanting to fight him for charity!!!










    When he had already signed a contract to fight Bradley..............

    He will call out Floyd again after the Bradley fight, yet he is already set to fight the winner of Alvarado and 50 year old JMM!!!!!!
