No, and because Arum is going to litigate to remove GBP from Manny's contract. Arum told ESPN.com: "There's an arbitration which calls for them to lose any percentage of Manny's promotional contract, something we asked for and had postponed, but now will go forward." http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/blog/2010/jan/07/manny-pacquiao-floyd-mayweather-off
Yes it will be made. The March 13th date was never attainable in the first place. The promoters need far more time to sell what's supposed to be the biggest fight ever. A fight that is gonna put boxing back in to the mainstream of the sports world. A fight that will attract fans from almost every where. Do you guys really think the promoters will rush such an event in 3 short months? I don't think so! This type of fight will always be best suited to the 2nd half of 2010. There'll be more anticipation, more demand, more time to promote, and most importantly...more money to make! This little drug testing bull crap is just a slight hiccup at the most. If it's not settle now, it will be settled next time round.
I haven't been following all this bs drama of late but i think it will. Too much money. And maybe not in their next fights but maybe late 2010. If they both win, it will be even bigger.
there is as much chance of floyd fighting Paul Williams than there is him fighting pac. after seeing Cotto get beat up , floyd jnr and snr simply crapped themselves .
I think this is a chance where the boxing community gets together...What I mean by the boxing commuinty, is the other small time promoters, lawyers, and even some othe boxers get involved and pull these guys together....Truth be told, we really don't know what goes on in these close door meetings...Only bits and pieces.... Once other players in the boxing community pulled together, and really let the negotiations out in the open, and one of them didn't accept then....That could be a carear killer...So it would pretty much force the fight...
No,and not because of egos ,because Floyd belevies that if he keeps his "0" he will be considered by people the GOAT.And a fight with Pac is a risck for his "0".
**** both of them! If we, the fans, want to take the sport in a legitimate direction we must boycott both of these guys. In any other sport the two best not facing each is not a possibilty. I think Mayweather's a *****/check-picker/ducker and Pac is probably a cheater.
atschatschatsch All Pac has to do is accept random blood test within 30 days and the fight is on so this is not Mayweathers fault. Man I cant wait till me and the homies protest this ****, it will be all over the news.
No for two reasons. 1. Manny is juicing. 2. Manny won't fight a guy he knows will school his limited ass.
Time heals all things. If both sides have hurt each other's egos, time will heal it. Plus, the thought of making 30 million or so would make it easy to negotiate.
