Another pac thread to excite us in this fight but I still believe this fight will not happen. When Pac becomes a congressman ( i hope the chiongbans defeats him just like when Pac was defeated last time he ran for Congress), this fight will certainly not happen.

Give Pac what he wants

I got Floyd by close decision.
I just hope that Mayweather will eat enough leather to swallow his attitude at the same time.
Here are some semingly random facts:
* Ricky Hatton fought J.L Castillo 51/2 Months before he fought Floyd Mayweather
* Many Pacquiao fought Ricky Hatton 5 months after he fought Oscar Dela Hoya
* Floyd Mayweather fought Zab Judah 41/2 months after he fought Sharmba Mitchell
* Many Pacquiao also fought David Diaz 3 months after he fought Juan Manuel Marquez.
I'm clutching at straws here of course. This is a MEGA fight that would need months for promotion purposes...
Or would it ???
That's pretty much exactly what he said to Oscar ;)Quote:

He gave him 70%, gave him a small ring, Reyes gloves... Everything.
It seems to good to be true and originally Freddie Roach wanted May because he did not feel Manny would be ready. This mega fight might be a rushed product and Manny gets blitzed early if it does happen in March. I hope I'm wrong.
March = in 5 months. Manny and Roach have almost half a year to prepare that, plenty enough if you ask me.Quote:

So I guess PBF wasn't so difficult to deal with seeing as this took less than 2 weeks of negotiations.
Also does this mean we can put these ridiculous Matthew Hatton stories to bed? I mean Foreman was clearly mentioned by Roach as a possible opponent, whilst the only guy mentioned for Mayweather by people associated with him was the Mosley-Berto winner.
Although I agree with others that March is a bit early & isn't the best time for a Vegas fight, which normally are most favoured for May/June or September-December
Fuk Vegas.
They should do it it Manilla :cool:
Yeah, I have to admit Killersheep's probably right.Quote:

If Manny is serious about a political career, everyone involved maybe desperate enough to pull this off now, in fear of the chance slipping away forever.
We can always hope...
It just seems too fast and easy for this fight to be made this soon. I thought it would be months for this type of fight to be finalized with negotiating ring size, weight to be fought at, gloves used, venue for where the bout will take place, percentage of the purse, etc.
I was thinking at the earliest it would have been somethng like late June for the bout to take place.
