Way faster than I expected

[brucelee]

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.

[Cleon]

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.

I hope your wrong
But I think your right

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.

M'man
I follow the sport like a religion
I just hope Floyd said fk it
Give Pac what he wants
Cause I'm going to kick his ass

[piye]

I got Floyd by close decision.

[Nameless]

I just hope that Mayweather will eat enough leather to swallow his attitude at the same time.

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

That's pretty much exactly what he said to Oscar

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

It seems to good to be true and originally Freddie Roach wanted May because he did not feel Manny would be ready. This mega fight might be a rushed product and Manny gets blitzed early if it does happen in March. I hope I'm wrong.

March = in 5 months. Manny and Roach have almost half a year to prepare that, plenty enough if you ask me.

I agree with you but the wizard that is Roach did not feel it was enough time. Freddy knows his fighter. I'm pretty sure you can find the video amongst the pile of other Pac threads =).

March 13 = 3 and a half months AND negotiations aren't even finalized yet.

5 months?? It's just over three weeks since he beat Cotto and had some damage especially to the ear drum, as we speak it's just over three months away from the proposed march date even from the fight with Cotto it was not 5 months, I think mid march is way to early, cant see it happening then.

[JazMerkin]

So I guess PBF wasn't so difficult to deal with seeing as this took less than 2 weeks of negotiations.

Also does this mean we can put these ridiculous Matthew Hatton stories to bed? I mean Foreman was clearly mentioned by Roach as a possible opponent, whilst the only guy mentioned for Mayweather by people associated with him was the Mosley-Berto winner.

Although I agree with others that March is a bit early & isn't the best time for a Vegas fight, which normally are most favoured for May/June or September-December

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Fuk Vegas.

They should do it it Manilla

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...

[generalbulldog]

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.
