    Hard to say, maybe, but I don't think that is gonna stop Pacquaio's style giving him trouble. If Mayweather is to win it will be competitive and I think that's why most are going to tune in!

    Well Showtime is paying him. If they're taking losses on his fights, I'm sure they'd stand to lose more having him fight scrubs as opposed to breaching contract. They're not stupid though, I'm sure they have control over who he fights.

    How can you claim to know so much about me yet your join date is Dec 2014? You've just outed yourself you alt. You're pathetic making various alts for years spouting the same ****. This fight doesn't need a big promotion fool. PBF and Pac are the two biggest stars in the sport and both are household names the mere fact the fight is signed and will happen May 2nd is enough promotion and the fight will shatter all records.

    We don't know and to be frank, its irrelevant. The fight is happening, stick with the reality.

    I thought PBF was forced into fighting Canelo. You were here back then. People said the same thing then. If you have any credibility you'd admit that and move on.

    Or else what? This ain't no damn Walmart purchase. Ain't no refunds in the world of business and million dollar contracts. Just ask the New York Yankees about that Alex Rodriguez contract.:lol:

    :deal


    Yea I remember people saying he'd duck Canelo and was forced to fight him. He was also a 3 to 1 favorite against Canelo like he is Pacquiao now.


    :lol:

    You don't think Porsche needs to advertise the 911, the most iconic sports car of all time? You don't think Coke needs advertising despite the logo being one of the most recognized on the planet?

    JUST STOP.

    Floyd was forced to take the fight and he delayed for as long as he could before he gathered the courage needed to sign.

    :hi:

    Forget that he was forced to make this fight no matter how you slice it .If you had any credibility you would recognize that if it hadn't been for Moonves this would,not have been made ..

    That's an assumption. Don't get me wrong, his surprise for May could have been the Pacquiao fight, but it could also have been Khan or any other fighter. Unless concrete proof comes out showing he had Pacquiao lined up since last year then we can't be 100% sure. I personally think he said that just to build up the hype for his next fight since most people would think it was Pac. Floyd isn't the most credible person.

    You guys are really desperate for reasons why "Floyd was forced" to sign a contract that will pay him $120 million dollars.

    Do you have any idea how re****ed you all sound? They had to "force a person" to sign a contract that pays them $120 million? You guys should just kill yourself or at the very least: Never have children. Idiots are already in large supply.

    Fact: Showtime/CBS said publicly they don't decide who Mayweather fights.
    Fact: Moonves was just as influential for getting Top Rank involved, and silencing Bob Arum. Pretty clear there was a gag order to not talk to the media about negotiations.
    Fact: Moonves was the "mediator" that brought ALL PARTIES INVOLVED TOGETHER. Pretending he just put pressure on one side is not realistic, and it was publicly stated that Moonves "wouldn't accept no for an answer FROM ALL PARTIES." At no point in time did CBS/Showtime say all the pressure Moonves was placing was on Mayweather. Absolutely ridiculous.

    You guys are in for a rude awakening May 2nd. You guys are going to be in denial, and I'm already ready to see your laundry list of excuses for why you guys don't know how to ****yze a fight at all.

    They may not decide who he fights but they sure as hell can say no to it ..But keep pretending this was all Floyd when the truth is he had to be backed into a corner to fight Manny a guy he's avodied for the past 5 yrs !
