Floyd calls Pac on the phone!!!

[AdamGB]

I really think too much is made of the Marquez fight... sure Floyd can do the same and better but he does not and is not used to getting hit as he is just that good... Manny will hit him and hurt him.

and alot more times than an ageing Mosley did and be more consistent than DLH

Give it up saddo!...

Can't see this happening at all in May...!!!

This is probably THE biggest ever money spinner in Boxing History and i think all parties would wanna Hype this up over a longer period

I can see Mayweather fighting Khan before this happens

Just don't see anyone rushing into a fight this big , It's nearly February and nothings been signed still

Too much money to be made by too many people.. they'll wanna hype the fuck out of this one over a much longer period of time (24/7 series etc) Floyds still in Jail at the end of the day

Just found this so i was right

"May 5th is kind of soon," said Roach. "For a fight of this magnitude to happen you need time, you've got to promote the fight right, and again it's about negotiations: who's going to get what. Is it going to go 50/50? He (Mayweather) wants 70/30, there are a lot of details to be worked out and the May 5th date is a little bit soon.

"Manny had that cut in the last fight and we want that to heal properly so we were looking forward to a June date, but I think realistically for this big a fight we would have to spend more time promoting it. I don't think that's something we would want to rush."

Not trying to hijack the thread but assuming that both of them really want to get it done on May 5th with or without 40K seating available, based on their fighter/promoter contract can Pac tell Arum to go on with the date or is it always Arum's last say?

If Floyd's email is true, this is not a good sign.
The writer has not cited a source/link article of his quote though, so it could be true or not.

WTF didn't Manny say they agreed over the phone to a 50/50 split?



ARGH damn this fight to hell, the fuckin flip floppin bastards! Why must they play with my emotions? The phone call business made me think for the first time in years that the fight may go down. Back to my orignial assertion that the fight will not happen until otherwise proven beyond doubt i.e. they're both in the ring and the bell sounds

[Manos de Piedra]

Now that's something I wasn't expecting Floyd to do. Now we know he really wants the fight and is pushing for it. Let's just see what BS Arum has to say about this.

Arum discusses the Mayweather-Pacquiao telephone conversation | RingTV

BS indeed! " Manny said that they have to resolve the date and other issues..."



Know damn well Manny didn't say that...

Lol, this has too many twists going on. My take is that Manny, Ariza and Roach are irrelevant when it comes to negotiating the Floyd fight, Arum will do what he wants.

[Althugz]

I also doubt Floyd is going to scupper this fight over the 50/50. Why would anyone even make it an issue? I think Arum sees that all sane people are blaming him now so has planted an alibi in the form of this email that was never sent. We'll see...

[THE THIRD MAN]

If it ain't 50/50..Pacman ain't doing it!

[Leighton]

I thought it was different this time but once again it is just all bullsh*t from both sides. These two just spend there time playing stupid back and fourth games.
I cant be bothered any more. The fight should have happened a couple of years back any way. This sport is getting shitt*r by the day. Im sticking with UFC. I know it can be boring a lot of the time but at least the best fighters actualy fight each other.

[InTheNeutralCorner]

I got tired of these back and forth negotiations ....... either they fight each other or both of them needs to retire.

[Slim the BoxingManiac]

We've been waiting three years. Haven't they promoted the fight enough?
