It could be close - Arum in talks with Showtime for Floyd /Pacquiao Mega Fight

[imp]

Manny is more for the fans at this point as he has nothing to loose and after he gets 6 losses he can just say he wasnt in his prime etc or ariza shouldnt have left him..lol

Should this phantom fight ever play out, I think its safe to say that neither are in their prime and also that such would be the first thing out of their teams mouth for the loser.

They are both on the slide and one has an 0. Now I would think that if they (Floyds team) were considering it they would want this for the 50th or maybe the Marciano equaling 49th.

Different era. Different opponents.

BUT it would be nice to be 50-0 and floyd must think about this figure bigtime.

48 - khan or alexander

49 - danny garcia

50 - ?

He won't fight Khan or Garcia he'll probably fight Cotto because he likes to regurgitate, rinse and repeat, cover every angle, remove risk, be dull and predictable, fight at home, struggle against muppets and then take instagram pics of himself in bed with his money. How can you take someone like that seriously ?

Who has he regurgitated??!!

He has had two rematches in his entire career!

Smothering himself in money on instagram is what makes people despise him even more and sell even more tickets.

This is a business after all..

Maidana was Embarrassing. This is the guy who lost to Kotelnik, Khan and Alexander and Floyd couldn't close the show. He is not the fighter he was.

Floyd was never going to close the show.

You saw the last round it was appalling.

Floyd chose the last round to run and does just enough to win.

This is not a guy that knocks people out and constantly goes for the kill.

He knocked out hatton going backwards on a counter and only when it was visibly obvious he was out of it he went for the kill.

This is the way floyd fights and will choose to hit whilst not getting hit and it seems to be working well so far..

There are no more maidana type opponents in the 147 divison so you will see a different floyd in the way he deals with the next opponent.

Perhaps the style maidana fought was a slight blueprint to trouble floyd but floyd will be well aware of this...

He is 38 next year and is on the slide but a 80% floyd mayweather is still better than everyone in the division today and the better the fighter the better that floyd will adapt on the night...

I might be wrong..

Its now being reported that Manny has accepted 60 million to Floyds 100 million.

Doesnt work like that buttercup.

It SHOULD work like that but it never will.

Whatever happens with this fight manny will have to take less than floyd and it all comes down to whether bob arum will tolerate that or not.

Dont blame me.

Thats modern day boxing business and it sucks.

Era and opponents are not really relevant. The record is and breaking it. It is a boxing Holy Grail.

As far as opponents go he's in a bit of a dilemma I'm sure he never planned on. I think he's lost interest frankly and he is also in a fix opponents wise. I cant see him going mediocre and its quite evident by the problems he had with Maidana that he has lost something because he fed on that type of opponent for much of his career and made it look easy. Swarmers were never an issue for him post the first Castillo fight.

People can split hairs on whether he took the necessary risks in his career until the cows come home but he now finds himself in a position where he may have to take some and at a time when maybe he should not be. He could make a mistake here.


Devon and him are pretty good friends and besides, he'd be crucified by both fans and media for making that fight.

I hope its Khan personally just because of the way the styles matchup.

I think Garcia would have to do something at 147 before getting a fight like Hatton or Guerrero did. Time is running out even for that to be viable.

Floyds in a bit of a pickle and to top it off imo has lost interest hence my crazy ideas about him starting a brand new camp and firing the lot.

[Fenster]

50-0 will mean fuck all if he doesn't face the greatest fighter of his era. Floyd could now retire, at any number, and he's an all-time great.

Try to look at it from the view of an impartial fan - in years to come people wont care about the politics, they'll just see two great fighters that didn't fight. There's an obvious reason why fighters like Leonard, Hearns, Duran and Hagler became boxing gods.

[pacfan]

With the kind of beatdown Al got, I'd duck Pac...

...seriously, I will believe it when I see them on top of the ring, nothing less, nothing more...

[THE THIRD MAN]

It's reached the now or never stage, if Pac really wants the fight then call the PBF bluff and agree to all demands. He will still make a shitload of money.

[Spicoli]

Maybe I'm missing something but how much stock can you put into Arum when Manny has stated intentions to drop in weight, mentions of Jessie Vargas...and requires 144 for a one hundred percent defensive fighter who was never a full welter last night. Its the whole actions/words thing
