Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground - Page 8

CJ Ross needs to be fired. I hate Floyd but damn the man can box.

GreekGodX · 09-15-2013, 03:07 PM

I was really surprised Canelo didn't come out just going after Mayweather. He was way to timid and by trying to out box Mayweather was a terrible call. You are right, Pops.

CJ Ross is an idiot. I don't know what fight he was watching to give Canelo 6 rounds. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Manny agreed to terms. Waiting on Mayweather...

Would have rather seen this 3 years ago, but I will still be happy to see it in May.

Agreed. It'd make my year if Pacquiao had Orlando Bloom as part of his ring entourage and he stomped a mudhole in Bieber's ass for the whole world to see.

I might watch, but I ain't paying for it! I'll watch the re-run on HBO. Those two should have fought years ago.

I will definitely watch live, mosty likely at one of the local sports bars that will have it for $5 or $10.

Promoter Bob Arum said today that Pacquiao-Mayweather will be finalized within 2 to 3 days.

“MAYWEATHER VS. PACQUIAO DEAL DONE ... Fight Set” read the headline, setting in motion a social media meltdown of the highest order.

There’s one problem: The story was incorrect.

Mayweather shot down the story Saturday, posting a message to his social media (with a photo of himself in a hammock): “Laying back, relaxing, enjoying good weather, palm trees and pina coladas. While they continue to lie about making the fight… I’m just going to continue to travel and explore the world on my private jet. #FightNotMadeYet”

ESPN senior boxing writer Dan Rafael discusses Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s and Manny Pacquiao's private meeting.

Showtime Sports general manager Stephen Espinoza, who is involved in the negotiations, wrote on Twitter after the story was posted, “TMZ usually has good sources. This time, not so much.”

Sources from both sides directly involved in the fight also told ESPN.com that the fight is most definitely not set at this point.

“Not true,” one of the sources said.

Another said of the story, “Absolutely untrue. We still have significant unresolved issues. Nothing is happening before mid next week at the soonest. Not that close on deal terms.”

While many are hopeful the fight will finalized -- May 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas is the date and venue if a deal is completed -- there are still a number of issues, mainly on the broadcasting side.

Showtime, which has Mayweather under contract, and HBO, which has a deal with Pacquiao, are trying to work through the details of what would be a joint pay-per-view telecast for what would undoubtedly be the richest fight in boxing history.

Manny: "I must break you:".
Bigmouth: "Go for it".

icehog3 · 02-21-2015, 12:33 AM

I think Bigmouth's ego is too big for that, but I guess we will see.

Who's in for Vegas?
