...despite Bob Arum's roadblock, will the fight be made?
If yes, then it is Mayweather holding the figth at a standstill.
If no, then why?
Answers could very well be ridiculous, superficial, improbable, or all of these. Smokescreen vendors should easily hold off the affirmative view in this forum... highly likely!
I say Yes!!!
No, because it's not only arum who is blocking this fight..
A member from Floyd's camp also stated that May is too early for a showdown .. So both parties are working for November or something like that.
Robert guerrero is believed to be Floyd's next opponent.. Such a disappointment..
Read on fighthype that floyds manager says floyd would fight pac in may.
I wouldnt put too much stock into what his manager said.. We need to hear it straight from the horses mouth..Quote:

These are elite fighters, by just wanting to settle an issue... set it once and for all, who is best, any promoter with a brain will make this fight. Stand in the way for the mother of all fights means wearing the dunce cap for the rest of eternity.
Simplistic as it sounds tho', it has not been made. Why?
Too many hurdles are put forth, some valid but plenty are of those that are senseless way beyond the bounds of reason.
Arum for his pennies will want to get this wrapped up if not for the freakish nature of negotiating with nonsensical demands. Anyone of renown despite having indefatigable virtues at commerce can surely tire out from a clear cut and identifiable case of an illogical pursuit... This is close to that.
The bait's been on out for too long... be ELITE, both camps, FIGHT!
Common sense tells you that, Floyd Junior needs to do better than a twitter attack, a 50 cent appeal and a not so pressing press release to get this bout with his co-elite fighter, superior, PacMan, made.
The Bob, the main roadblock to this mega fight as claimed by many, is now bobbing! FM Jr. cannot stop now; he has got Top Rank on the ropes. Calling them now... phone in a lifeline... Al Haymon, your official negotiator should do this, easily, one would think, is what it needs to be on the right track! Heck! We know now, what Floyd Jr. wants, he gets! He can even get jail time suspended for crying out loud..and this is but a simple contract.
Why call out someone, then be inflexible to the terms in negotiating? Smell of DUCK.
Makes the "Duck and Quack" talk all the more convincing as to be the more truthful of Floyd Jr's actual intentions as opposed to that of a fight with Manny Pacquiao.
To the uninitiated, Pac represents someone who can potentially take Junior's zero loss away. Paranoid at this thought, so far, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has shown that he now aggressively sells a more sophisticated line of smoke and mirrors... none the less, still bullcrap to a lot of the fans who've grown tired of this charade! And yet, many still buys it... the legion of Junior's fandom are so satisfied with their man, much likened to blind devotees, that they easily buy into his pooh-pooh! Satisfied with his mega fights in the recent past, including the last, the superior demolition of Ortiz, these followers are all but convinced that he is right on and is on pursuit of this fight to the hilt.
However, who is his promoter to engage Top Rank on even terms.. Can this really be done without one especially if he wants guarantees for the largest purse in the history of the sport of boxing?
Logic out, bullshit in!
Grab the bait Floyd Jr., or are you too afraid that it actually is bait!
Go sign and fight!
Too much posturing... silly DUCK!
Has Floyd dropped the olympic style drug testing demand?
You talk like there is no such thing as a pactard and that floyd isn't an even bigger threat to Arum's cash cow than Pac is to Floyd's 0. You also use too many words to say very little...Quote:

Floyd Jr. sells bravado well, but in all reality, he is unwilling to get into fighting.Quote:

Your comment is neither a refutatiion, which I would have preferred, nor an affirmation of the thread's claim... The post therefore is but a personal pooh-talk, like the stuff that your idol spews out to the public every once too often. People have bought in it too much that it becomes fact... to the gullible! Likewise, buying into this charade provides well for the continuity of Floyd Jr's smoke and mirrors show.
Maybe this helps a bit...

Floyd is my idol? OK... ??? lol. When trying to appear intellectual it is important not to create facts from thin air. :)
That aside, my point is that because you post long, pretentious posts to make relatively few points of substance... you end up less 'pooh pooh' (as you would say) and more 'verbal diarrhea'.
Not confusing, just pretenious.
Any argument with a strong foundation should be simple to say.
On the other hand, after several posts, you have only managed personal attacks and nowhere nearly have added any significance to this thread. I give you the last word... maybe you can! ;)Quote:

Nope, I wasn't trying to and nor do I have to... reason being that my objective was only to tell you that you need to tone the dribble down. Nothing more.
Yours on the other hand was to make some simple points about Mayweather. I am simply pointing out that the overly elaborate tapestry of words you felt the need to weave make your posts come across as pretentious dribble.
Take the advice or leave it, your call.
I'm with Adam on this one..apart from the pretentious part. It's just dribble. Wtf are you actually talking about?
And allow me to comment on that article written by a Pac fan. It's shite and I wouldn't be surprised if your writing handle on that blog is Charlie Knoxville or whatever his name is.
The article means or proves nothing. Just one mans opinion like everybody elses on this board.
tell you what....why doesnt mayweather just waıt tıl 2015...then say he's not ınto boxing lıke when he was younger.
It WILL happen, but not in May. Hopefully in the Fall or next Spring
I think the fight will happen, Mayweather needs it now more than ever. Come June he gets 90 days in the slammer, and no matter what you think it is a demoralising experience for anybody. If Mayweather waits any longer then he won't get $30 million and another chunk for a rematch. Time is running out on this one and the games that Arum and Mayweather have been playing will cease. If it doesn't happen in May it will never happen, Mayweather will come out from a 90 day stint a different man unless he has a win over Pacquaio under his belt and the prospect of a another multi million dollar rematch come November? If he loses to Pacman he can stew in jail plotting his revenge, either way boxing might win this one after all?
Just seen this on fighthype
FIGHTHYPE \\ FLOYD MAYWEATHER: "I ONLY WANT ONE PERSON, PACQUIAO...WHY IS HE DUCKIN' AND DODGIN' ME"
Yup, as I said, the only thing now stopping this fight is Bob Arum. Even Martinez said it in an interview today that the two aren't afraid of each other but Arum wants to bleed Manny dry til the day that he dies.
I don't know why that part is so hard to get for people.
