As they hammer out purse, next step is to get @SHOsports and @hboboxing to get the broadcasting plan sorted out.

Very important to note until it's done, it's not done, but Thursday was a good day for the long-awaited super-fight, I'm told

It seems like this is the first time in forever that there are serious talks but I still won't believe until I see it.

Agree

Don't hold your breath. Bob has found problems after the deal was done before. The only thing that gives me any hope is Mannys PPV numbers plummeting and how shitty their 2nd option is now.

There is no denying how bad Manny is pushing for this fight now, and I don't think it has anything to do with PPV numbers or no options. The smart thing for Manny to do is beat guys like Khan and Garcia and then retire with everyone feeling both r at fault for the fight not happening (majority seems to feel it is mainly Floyds fault in my opinion) and that Manny had a great chance to beat Floyd. I admire Manny's desire to fight the best but I have to say that I think he has to fight a perfect fight to stand a chance of beating Floyd.
