Way faster than I expected

Did you read it Killersheep? The bout is being pushed to March so that it happens before the election. Still, you're right, didn't say it was finalized, so still could get derailed.

I did read it and no way in hell does this fight happen in March, not enough time for promotions, hell not even enough time to secure a reasonable venue.

Believe me I would love to be wrong, but to those of us that follow the storylines of boxing, know that this is THE fight to crown the best fighter of our generation. Which in reality's terms means about 6-7 months of actual negotiation so every mover in the sport gets a chance to get a piece of the financial pie.

I just hope Floyd said fk it
Give Pac what he wants
Cause I'm going to kick his ass

I got Floyd by close decision.

That's pretty much exactly what he said to Oscar

He gave him 70%, gave him a small ring, Reyes gloves... Everything.

I think you pointed out the ugly truth. March is too soon. Even Arum said that.

Oh really?!?

Another pac thread to excite us in this fight but I still believe this fight will not happen. When Pac becomes a congressman ( i hope the chiongbans defeats him just like when Pac was defeated last time he ran for Congress), this fight will certainly not happen.

Here are some semingly random facts:

* Ricky Hatton fought J.L Castillo 51/2 Months before he fought Floyd Mayweather
* Many Pacquiao fought Ricky Hatton 5 months after he fought Oscar Dela Hoya
* Floyd Mayweather fought Zab Judah 41/2 months after he fought Sharmba Mitchell
* Many Pacquiao also fought David Diaz 3 months after he fought Juan Manuel Marquez.

I'm clutching at straws here of course. This is a MEGA fight that would need months for promotion purposes...

Or would it

Yeah, I have to admit Killersheep's probably right.

On the positive side: Neither fighter took much damage (except maybe Pac's eardrum?) in their last fight. Both fighters are really buzzed up right now, and this is the fight people want to see, so it's really got a built in pre-promotion. If Manny is serious about a political career, everyone involved maybe desperate enough to pull this off now, in fear of the chance slipping away forever.

We can always hope...

It just seems too fast and easy for this fight to be made this soon. I thought it would be months for this type of fight to be finalized with negotiating ring size, weight to be fought at, gloves used, venue for where the bout will take place, percentage of the purse, etc.

I was thinking at the earliest it would have been somethng like late June for the bout to take place.
