this just in in the sun!!!! manny and floyd to fight 13th nov

MANNY PACQUIAO and Floyd Mayweather are to meet at last in the richest fight in history.

The £180million welterweight crunch will be in Las Vegas or Dallas on November 13.
Promoter Bob Arum said: "Negotiate in good faith and beautiful things can happen."

This would be good news.....possible but i doubt it

HAHA The Sun lol

Was this next to the bat boy article?

I missed the part that said it was in the Sun, what an anti-climax... :'(

hopefully this happens..

I hope they havnt just printed this to sell their crappy paper : /

The fight isn't made, but over on Yahoo Arum is saying he will try and get the fight made as it's what everyone wants. It's a long way from being a done deal IMO, but hopefully we will have something before the end of this year. Will be a huge shame if these two don't fight.

180 Million, lol, for that much dough I would let Manny smoke some pcp before the fight.

oh right, it sounded like a done deal with them stating a date there and everything that sucks

To be honest i dont ever see this fight happening i dont think floyd wants it and i dont blame him, who wants to fight this?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKPDeMXiJHc

Well it's in the sun so I'm not convinced. I'd be more enthusiastic if it had apeared on fightnews first.

November is plausable cuz then pac's got plenty of time to get all that shit out of his system and pass a drug test.

I won't be holding my breath for this.

I really don't think that Manny windmilling arm punches in a straight line will scare Floyd too much... thin are doesn't side step or hit back.

True however its easy to pick a fighter apart when watching him shadow box, the speed is what i was refering to, i dont think hes ever been up against a fighter with that sort of speed

Gotta love that sound he makes though ''Goo-Goo-Goo-Goo''

Sounds like he's about to jump up and Hurricane-Kick somebody's Bombaclart!

lol ive heared worse, theres a guy at a gym i train at that yells out ''pwoah!'' on his power shots, sounds like hes just finished a good meal rather than a right hand. i usually make a similar noise in response to his breath hitting my nostrils

That video is from the pre-PED days when Manny was a twiglet-like bantam. He's not nearly as fast now. This is just Arum trying to force Floyd into accepting the fight without any testing by claiming it's a done deal in the papers. They haven't even started negotiating yet. Floyd says no testing no fight. The Needle says he'll only do what the Las Vegas/Texas boxing commissions mandate as testing, no more. Both those guys made those statements within the last couple of days. So there's some way to go yet before any fight happens. From this bs announcement by Arum I'd guess he realises the fight is a no go and he's already started the spadework of blaming Floyd for it not happening. If it is going to happen expect a sudden announcement by the Nevada State Athletic Commission that they've changed their testing procedures for big fights or superfights or what have you. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
