They have agreed to terms and are deciding on a date and venue for a fight. It will be at 147 pounds (welterweight). I cannot wait for this :tu

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Hope Manny can shut up The Mouth. :2

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I just hope they do it soon enough I can still pop the TV into the garage and watch the fight with some gars and friends. :tu

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Who?

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

hopefully it will be better than the last big money bout i watched between david haye and nik valuev, it was piss poor and haye was very very lucky in my opinion, it was his good last round that won it

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I might actually consider paying money to watch this event. Failing that, I might convince a bunch of friends to come together at our B&M to pay for the fight so we can smoke and watch. That might actually be a better endeavor.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I really hope this happens.......

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I would love to see Manny beat up on Money !!

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Pacquiao has the heart and the drive, the will to win...Mayweather has the face of a baby and is a lame boxer, he boxes for points...I hope Pacquiao crushes his face

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I hate Pretty Boy Floyd, but he is hardly a "lame boxer". He may not be a brawler or entertaining, but he certainly has serious boxing skilz. :2

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

:tpd:

but anywhere but Vegas. :2

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

You have better odds of winning the lottery.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

You must have access to information the rest of us don't.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Nope, but what was the last time a big fight was held outside of Vegas? The other alternative is Atlantic City but it has been a while since I have seen a fight there.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Big talk of Dallas or New Orleans for this one as an alternative to Vegas.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I agree.

Lets see how long Mayweather can hide behind that shoulder of his.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Here's hopin for Dallas then as I can drive up for the fight!

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I sincerely hope you get your wish.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

:D

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

If I do I'll make sure to take pics for the CA boxing crowd. :tu

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

no go for Dallas

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Looks like the fight may not happen now. Paq-man won't fight with a olympic style drug testing. One source sited Pacquoiao is a little squemish with giving blood.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Mayweather is being a total sissy, trying to find anyway to get out of this fight. Pac said he would test right after the fight, but he doesn't want to have his blood drawn while he is training.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Shocking! :r

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

For as much as I like Pacquiao, his class, his integrity in the ring and outside. At this point I'm questioning why he won't just say the hell with it and do the olympic style drug testing. The amount of blood they take is miniscule and will not effect oxygen levels in the body.

And being that Mayweather is from Michigan I might have to switch sides :hm

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I've really been looking forward to this match-up! I hope Pac Man silences Mayweather. :) Either way, it should be a great fight. :bx

I would rather fight than switch to Loudmouth Floyd.....and I am from Michigan too. :r

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

:r I love it.

This whole drug testing argument has gotten me thinking. If you are clean why would you not just submit yourself to the testing. If I was Pacquiao I would say yes just to shut up Floyd on the steriods front, and then use it as extra motivation to beat him harder.

I just hope they come to some agreement and we can have the fight!

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I want them to fight too, not sure why Manny is so freaked out about giving blood. But if Floyd's camp is being hardline on this issue, then my guess is Floyd either wants more of the purse, or not to fight Manny at all.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

tsk tsk Mayweather and and his mind games. If it happens at the MGM, I can get tickets :)

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Lemme know if you have an extra, Carl. ;)

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I am trying for four right now, two of them being S.H.I.T. herfers, a friend I work with, and myself. I will contact my Host and beg for another one.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I agree, Christos. Very strange to say the least. The not liking needles argument is moot. If he didn't like needles, would he have gotten a tatoo? In this day in time, I don't think anyone is above reproach when it comes to ped's. Floyd Sr. has said for years that Pac Man takes HGH. With this refusal, it has me wandering. :hm

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Good point on the tattoo. I brought up the oxygen level in blood because athletes won't donate blood during training or before an even because it decreases RBC count therefore hindering oxygen transport through the body. That would be my only logical explanation as another why he wouldn't want to do the blood testing.

Maybe give Pacquiao a few more million out of the purse to get him to do this. I really want to know why he won't do the testing!

FYI

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

BS. There are so many ways to beat a urine test, it funny.

It shouldn't matter how many times they are blood tested as they use such a tiny about of blood. Pac-Man's schedule for wanting to give blood is interesting to me. Should be given at any time, not scheduled.

However, I can see why they would want an independent agency to do the testing though.

It's crap like this has, in part, virtually killed boxing, imo.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I don't expect anything, Carl, I know it would be a tough sell, but if you do, I am there. :D The cigars will be on me as well. :D

Greg, why don't you wander over to my neck of the woods and have some cigars with me while you are at it? :D

You make a good point, I just hope it all gets worked out.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Not sure which one is a bigger douchebag: Mayweather or Pacquiano. Mayweather has a point, but so does Pacqyiono. Makes us pro-wrestling fans look less ignorant all the time.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

Calling Mayweather a douchebag is an insult to douchebags. ;)

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

"First and foremost, not only do I want to fight Manny Pacquiao, I want to whip his punk ass." -Floyd Mayweather

Pacquiao's promoter is saying the fight is dead. I hope they can get this bs resolved and fight.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

How about douchecanoe?

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

So the front row tickets I got on eBay for $50 are no good? :confused:

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

This whole situation is why, in part, that boxing is a dying, farce of a sport.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I love boxing, but there is too much politicing and grandstanding...just STFU and fight! :bx

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

The third possibility here is that Floyd's camp knows something about Manny.

Manny's reasoning is a little soft as far as I'm concerned. He says it could weaken him before the fight? Well if that's the case, it would for Mayweather too, so no big deal. Afraid of needles??? The guy fights for a living...toughen up. Maybe Manny is/was doping and needs some time to clean it out before the test. For the biggest pay day in boxing history, I can't image this guy will give it up for the weak excuses he's provided so far.

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

It's not like Mayweather to play mind games before a fight! Oh wait ... he does EVERY time. He wants to meet a weight shows up as something else. I believe that was the last fight he had.

If these guys want to fight, it will happen. Either way, I am watching the next Manny fight in March/April. Be it Yuri or whoever. :)

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

I totally agree but it's the nature of the beast for the sport. When they do go toe to toe it's going to be a good one!


Chris.....

Re: Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground
 

If you think something will affect you, no matter how ridiculous your reasoning is, it will.

Pacquiao attributed his last loss to Erik Morales or JMM because of the blood test he took the day before. He said he felt weak the day of the fight.

PBF thinks he is at a disadvantage because in his mind, Pacquiao is on PED.
