    Because British boxing fans like you are gullible and will buy anything if you wrap it up in the Union Jack?

    Floyd - Khan is a joke match-up.

    No doubt, it's ridiculous that's it's even being discussed. Why doesn't Floyd fight one of the guys who beat Khan?


    Khan had better thank his lucky stars he wasn't at 140 when Randall Bailey was a bit younger

    Khan is a name. It would promote and sell well. Across the globe.

    And speaking of gullible - Y'all better get used to the idea of a shin dig with Amir Khan because the Pacquiao fight ain't ever gonna happen. Despite whatever comes outta Arum pie hole!

    I don't think Floyd can fight in the UK because his contract with Showtime is exclusive to the MGM in Las Vegas. The good thing about the deal though is that it pressures him to take the biggest fights around like Pacquiao, however we've heard it all before so don't hold your breath.

    Even if the Pac fight doesn't happen it doesn't mean Floyd should fight some nobody like Khan. Why not Danny Garcia, he knocked out Khan why would Floyd doing the exact same thing that's been done before interest anyone?

    I'd rather Floyd rematch Cotto if he can't get a fight vs Pac or Martinez

    Damn when will Arum retire? Whatever happened to that temporary stadium blah blah blah. Showtime/CBS need to say to Top Rank if you ever wanna show boxing on our networks you had better get your head out of your ass and make the damn fight happen. Mayweather can say whatever; But he is locked in a contract so if they wanna make Pac vs Mayweather he really has no other choice.

    Did Floyd actually say he wanted to fight in England. I can't imagine him not fighting in Vegas. Usually, if you want to fight Floyd you go to Floyd. When was the last time he fought outside of Vegas. I did read he will be announcing his opponent next week. If it's Khan I won't watch it to teach Floyd a lesson.

    HBO & Showtime had worked together before in the Lewis - Tyson megafight. I guess Floyd - Pacquiao is a very big fight that 2 major cable networks working together is the ideal situation.

    floyd has been saying for years that he loves his british fans and has been wanting to fight in england for a long time.

    "We're ready to sit down"...

    ...are ya? Are ya really?

    I love how he acts like he still has the same bargaining leverage he had three years ago. Floyd is the same position he was three years ago. Manny? Not so much.

    Arum being ready to sit down means Pac is that fucking broke. And with Pac-Rios only doing 500k buys, Pac can't make it up on his own. It's pretty obvious there looking at the Mayweather fight as a fucking life line.

    Not happening and he betrays his intentions right away. He says both sides need to dumb it down and they need to call him. So Bob tells them how to act and what to do? After he's admitted he hasn't taken their calls for years he accepts now jump on it. No. Bob is starting crap right off. If you want to extend an olive branch you extend, you call. You don't start by demanding they call. Small detail but it tells you everything right off. Although after insiders say Pac/Rios did 400k Bob just might get desperate.
