Good. That fight has to happen.

[flashNsmash]

I need more time to save up $10,000 for a seat.

[AMERICAN BONES]

I need more time to save up $10,000 for a seat.

Fuck that, I'm booking a room for the weekend they plan on having it tonight though

[flashNsmash]

Yeah, would still be a massive party.

[JSN]

i hope pacman gets 50%. this fight wouldn't be jack shit without him.

[super hot]

Mayweather isn't a big draw at all. Pacman has way more drawing power than him. He should at the very least receive 50%

[super hot]

obvious troll is obvious

I'm not even trolling. The only reason Mayweather had over a million ppv's vs Marquez was because of the mexican fans that ordered the fight. Everyone knows black people are to cheap to order that shit.

mayweather by decision

[super hot]

mayweather outdrew pacquiao in fights with common opponents, so thats that

De La Hoya vs Pacman had more buys

[super hot]

Pacman 10th round tko

[AMERICAN BONES]

De La Hoya vs Pacman had more buys

lol mayweather sold a million more bud, why do mexicans root for pacquiao anyway, hes the mexicutioner

[WAR OSCAR YEE]

lol, mexicutioner, i like that

[super hot]

why do white people like mayweather? he's fucking boring and can't finish off fighters half his size.

[super hot]

who actually enjoys seeing him fight all defensive? He has no power and runs pretty much the entire fight.

[JSN]

are you nuts? white people hardly like boxing, much less gayweather.

gayweather has certainly been able to create a niche as a guy who gets into big selling fights, but it always relies an ultra popular opponent. hatton, ODLH, and marquez are his 3 big fights and all three of those guys have huge fanbases. i think gayweather helps sell it too, but only because he's undefeated over a long career. if you put one loss on his record, he's no longer jack shit as a co-draw.

[WAR OSCAR YEE]

you guys have been gotten to by mayweather

[JSN]

i'm not really in the hater camp. i just don't get excited about him and that's how most people feel.

[AMERICAN BONES]

why do white people like mayweather? he's fucking boring and can't finish off fighters half his size.

most people hate mayweather, hes made himself into such a villain most people tune in to watch him lose, or hope he will lose

[P 2 Tha Mofo J]

mayweather outdrew pacquiao in fights with common opponents, so thats that

yeah but it was really all oscar prior to the mayweather fight, when he was going to fight pac-man again he was coming off a loss so obviously he wasn't going to sell as many ppvs. Cott-pacman also outsold floyd-jmm

[AMERICAN BONES]

yeah but it was really all oscar prior to the mayweather fight, when he was going to fight pac-man again he was coming off a loss so obviously he wasn't going to sell as many ppvs. Cott-pacman also outsold floyd-jmm

floyd jmm was a tune up, cotto pac was for a world title, and oscar wasnt coming off a loss when he fought manny, but i think the fight should be 50-50, but i think floyd has a better case for taking a majority share than manny does

[JSN]

how much did pac-cotto sell? i heard it was a disappointment, but fuck it was on HBO.

[JSN]

oh wait just looked it up- pac-cotto, which was on HBO, got TWICE as many ppv buys- generating $120million. the gayweather-marquez fight 1 million buys, generating $52million.

lol pacman's fight over doubles the money made on a fight shown on hbo, and doubles the buy rate. pac should be getting 60-40 at least. the only real bargaining power gayweather's camp has is his willingness to run off into another retirement.

:headscratch:

they were both on PPV, onr was a tune up fight, one was a world title fight, one generated 52mil in ppv revenue, the other 70mil, 1.05mil buys to 1.25mil

saying anybody deserves 40-60 is ludicrous

[AMERICAN BONES]

wow some people in vegas want to build a 30,000 seat outdoor stadium for the fight, and are projecting 5mil ppv buys

[AMERICAN BONES]

i just booked three nights at the excalibur the weekend the fight is supposed to be, figure it will be at the mgm or mandalay bay, excalibur is the cheapest and right in between the two, if the fight is scheduled for another date i can cancel my res and get my deposit back

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

this fight needs to happen if it does I'm ordering it

[super hot]

Stay at the Monte Carlo, AB. It's nicer and not that much more. I always stay there because one of the pit bosses always hooks me up to the clubs.

[AMERICAN BONES]

Ya? I'll check it out, ex was the second cheapest on the strip besides circus circus, but ex is right next to mandaly and mgm

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

lol circus circus what a shithole

[super hot]

circus circus sucks.

[AMERICAN BONES]

deal is done for march 13th, possibly may 1st in either vegas, dallas or new orleans, arum is flying to the Philippines right now to make sure manny agrees and get him to sign, so the ball is in his court. i have a feeling pacquiao and roach dont want the fight to happen, after the cotto fight roach said march is too soon he needs more time to prepare for mayweather, so they said may 1st would be ideal, but then manny said he wants to run for congress in the Philippines and the election is in may so that wouldnt work, i just hope this shit gets done, seems like floyd is willing to fight anywhere at anytime, now its up to manny to show up

The proposed super fight between Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather is getting closer.

Mayweather agreed to terms for the welterweight title bout on Tuesday, multiple sources with knowledge of the negotiations told ESPN.com.

The proposed date is March 13, although there is a chance it could move to May 1, sources said. Mayweather, according to a source close to him, is OK with either date.

Pacquiao and Mayweather have fought recent bouts at catch weights. However if they complete their deal, the bout would be contested at 147 pounds, the maximum for a welterweight fight, a source said.

Top Rank's Bob Arum, who promotes Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs), was flying to the Philippines on Tuesday night to meet with Pacquiao and try to close his side of the deal.

Arum spent much of Tuesday getting open issues resolved in his negotiations with Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, who represents Mayweather, sources said. Once Arum was able to do that, he left for the Philippines and is expected back on Monday.

If the HBO PPV fight happens on March 13, it would force the tentative HBO PPV fight between light heavyweights Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins to move to another date. Hopkins and Jones both fight Wednesday and must win for their fight to go through.

The site for Pacquiao-Mayweather remains up in the air. There is interest from Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones to bring the fight to his new stadium. There is also interest from venues in Las Vegas, including the MGM Grand (which has hosted several Pacquiao and Mayweather fights), and the Superdome in New Orleans in hosting a fight many believe will break the all-time record for pay-per-view buys, which is the 2.44 million units sold for Mayweather's 2007 split decision victory against Oscar De La Hoya.

The fight moved front and center with heavy public demand for it following Pacquiao's dominant 12th-round knockout of Miguel Cotto to win a welterweight title on Nov. 14. The victory gave Pacquiao a title in a record-breaking seventh weight division and 1.25 million pay-per-view units.

Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs), who has won titles in five divisions, came out of a brief retirement in September to dominate Juan Manuel Marquez in a fight that generated 1.05 million buys.

Just a few days after Pacquiao's win over Cotto, Arum and Schaefer began negotiations.

One wrench in the talks was the date. Arum, Schaefer and HBO wanted to slot the fight on May 1. However, Pacquiao announced his candidacy for a congressional seat in the Philippines on Tuesday. With the election scheduled for May 10, it rules out a May 1 fight unless Pacquiao runs unopposed. Pacquiao lost the election for a congressional seat in 2007.

If Pacquiao-Mayweather isn't finalized, Arum has talked about matching Pacquiao with junior middleweight titlist Yuri Foreman, which would give Pacquiao an opportunity to win a title in an eighth division. Foreman defeated Daniel Santos to win a 154-pound belt on the Pacquiao-Cotto undercard.

Schaefer has talked about bringing Mayweather to England to match him with Matthew Hatton in the event Pacquiao-Mayweather isn't made. Hatton is the brother of Ricky Hatton, the former junior welterweight and welterweight titlist whom Mayweather knocked out in 2007.

[super hot]

pac man

[AMERICAN BONES]

pacman will get worked, he really has no advantage coming into the fight outside of power and aggression, floyd has the longer reach, quicker hands, more accurate punches, better defense, and is the best counter puncher of our era, pacman struggled with jmms countering, floyd is gonna tear him up

[P 2 Tha Mofo J]

good i hope floyd works that pinoy faggot

[P 2 Tha Mofo J]

and then loses all his money to the IRS

[WAR OSCAR YEE]

money may by decision

pacman vs pbf is on. Fight of the century imo.

The much-anticipated bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao is all but set for March 13, a source told Yahoo! Sports.

Mayweather has agreed to terms and promoter Bob Arum is making a trip to Manila, Philippines, to finalize a deal with Pacquiao, the source said.
More From Kevin Iole

* Mailbag: Pacquiao gets snubbed Dec 1, 2009
* Funeka the latest victim of boxing robbery Nov 30, 2009

Las Vegas, Dallas and New Orleans are the front-runners to host the bout, which is expected to become the highest-grossing boxing match in the sport’s history.

Pacquiao is the top pound-for-pound fighter in nearly every major ranking, including Yahoo! Sports. Mayweather is No. 2 in most rankings and was No. 1 in nearly all of the polls before he briefly retired in June 2008.

Pacquiao is coming off a 12th-round stoppage of Miguel Cotto on Nov. 14 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, a bout in which he won the World Boxing Organization welterweight championship and erased fears that he is not a legitimate welterweight.

Cotto was a legitimate welterweight in his prime and Pacquiao dominated, knocking him down twice and cruising to the one-sided victory.

Mayweather routed Juan Manuel Marquez, who had previously been ranked No. 2 in the Yahoo! Sports poll, in a Sept. 19 fight at the MGM Grand.

The public demand for the fight has been enormous, putting pressure on Arum and Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, who represents Mayweather, to get a deal done.

Promoters had targeted May 1 for the fight almost from the moment that Pacquiao stopped Cotto. But Pacquiao filed Tuesday to run for Congress in the Philippines and the election will be held on May 10.

Given that, the bout with Mayweather had to be moved up to March 13 or pushed back until September.

Though there were reports that Arum was considering matching Pacquiao with new WBO super welterweight champion Yuri Foreman on March 13 in Dallas, that was a diversionary move and was never serious, the source said.

A survey team from Top Rank will inspect Dallas Cowboys Stadium as a possible venue. The MGM Grand Garden Arena and the New Orleans Superdome are also in the running to host the mega-fight, the source said.

pac man by murder

[Cum Gargling Shit Splattered Fuck Mess]

for awhile i thought pacquiao would wreck PBF but after seeing PBF hand marquez his shit with little effort i'm not so sure anymore. first boxing match i've had a hardon for though in years.

[super hot]

PBF couldn't even put away a very smaller fighter. Pacman just packed Cotto's shit in. It's not that hard to realize that Pacman will do the same to gayweather.

[Cum Gargling Shit Splattered Fuck Mess]

if we're using that math then look at what the 2 did against marquez. trust me, i fucking hate PBF, but manny went to a draw and a razor split decision (he shoulda lost) to marquez. PBF made marquez look like a kid with downs.

Look at what weight they fought at. Bother were around 130lbs. Marquez had to move up 15lbs only to still be around 10 to 15lbs smaller than PBF at fight time.

[AMERICAN BONES]

20 mil isn't a bad payday

it will be more than that, this fight is gonna KILL the numbers that pbf vs dlh did

[super hot]

DLH vs any can would have sold 2 million ppv's AB

i beginning to think this fight will never happen for a multitude of reasons.

cmon now, DLH combined with 24/7 and floyd running his mouth made that fight as big as it was, DLH fought plenty of non cans that didnt come close to the 2.4mil him and floyd did

[AMERICAN BONES]

this fight would be better suited for may 1st, the more time to promote and build it up the better, but manny is a faggot that wants to run for congress

[AMERICAN BONES]

i hope after floyd beats manny, roger mayweather KOs freddie roach

[Cum Gargling Shit Splattered Fuck Mess]

if manny loses, i'll be sad. then we'll never hear the end of PBF's shit talking ever because he'll probably retire again undefeated.

[HOODS]

its possible, pacquiao is known to fuck around and make negotiations real tough, and hes who they are waiting on.

im sure its pbf's camp who says its is pacmans court to sign but who knows what the truth is. Both of them have a lot to lose with this fight and might prolong it fight some scrubs in the mean time so their careers and big paydays last a bit longer.

But then again, if they do somehow agree to fight, then its just common knowledge it will be a controversial decision and will have to lead to a re-match, which gives them both another big payday, and blah blah its so scripted boxing is almost like the wwe at this point.

[super hot]

While everyone has jumped on the Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao wagon, Manny's attorney, Franklin Gacal, told The Philippine Star that it won't happen until the mid or late point of 2010. Gacal spoke to Pacquiao last night, and as of last night, Pacquiao has no plans to fight until after the May elections. Earlier this week, Pacquiao announced that he was running for a congressional seat in the Philippines.

Based on Manny's political decision, Top Rank's Bob Arum said Mayweather would have to fight Pacquiao on March 13 instead of the proposed May 1 date. Mayweather agreed on Tuesday to fight Pacquiao in March. Arum left for Manila on Tuesday night. He plans to to sit down with Pacquiao to discuss the Mayweather fight. Gacal says Arum's trip was already planned because he was flying in to finalize a deal with TV network ABS-CBN.

“As of last night, Manny said he doesn’t want to fight in April or even May. There will be no fight. Maybe it will come after the elections,” said Gacal. “Everything will depend on the developments after the elections. But again, as of last night, the March 13 and May 1 dates for Pacquiao’s next fight are out."

Everything could change once Arum sits down with Pacquiao and shows him the numbers for what is considered to be the richest fight in boxing.

[super hot]

He has more important priorities than PBF, Floyd is just anxious to get back in the ring to keep the IRS off of his back. What's wrong with a man trying to help his country? Maybe Floyd should learn a thing or two from Manny instead of making it rain.

mannys country doesnt want him to run, he ran in 2007 and it was a joke, his own people booed him at events and he lost in a fucking landslide, his people said he wont fight may 1st because of the election, so the fight has to be on march 13th and if floyd doesnt want it they will go fight yuri foreman for mannys 8th title, well floyd called their bluff and now they are backtracking again, manny DUCKMAN pacquiao wants nothing to do with floyd

AB is just jumping to conclusions, why would pacman be scared of that faggot anyways. He's faced tougher opponents IMO already.

bullshit, manny cherry picks his opponents as much as anybody, freddie roach has even admitted it, manny has always stayed away from technical counter punchers, he learned his lessons from morales and JMM, now he sticks to weight draining flat footed brawlers with no defense

agreed, the Filipino populace will vote against him in droves if they think him winning will delay him fighting again

There are millions of boxers around the world and very few of them make decent cash. I know a guy who won a gold medal in the Commonwealth Games and he got around 5 grand a fight. Bear in mind he was training for a few months before the fight and not getting paid.

Fact is most boxers AND mixed martial artists are on shit money.

Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather JR Agree to Fight in March 2010
By Geno McGahee-December 4, 2009

RSR got word from a reliable source that the super bout that the world is demanding will take place in March of 2010. The teams are currently working out the specifics but have tentatively agreed to a showdown early next year, which shouldn’t be a surprise to any boxing fan.

[stulecanem]

Thanks

[flashNsmash]

I haven't paid good money to watch boxing in years, this could change that.

Only Mexicans can fight this two and beat them, like Castillo did to Floyd and Morales did to Pacman, not to mention Marquez taking Pacman to a draw and lossing a freaking close desition.

[Vlad]

Marquez can still bring it to Pac and you know it, he gave Pac hell in both of their fights look how bad Cotto and Hatton looked vs Pac, that is how good Marquez is.

There will be some top quality Mexi boxers comming on next year just wait.

[AMERICAN BONES]

TALK SHIT NOW, AB

i hope its true, but there isnt an official source, arum was calling manny out earlier today saying there is no reason not to fight march 13th, Arum said "you can make an argument that because he is running for office Manny can’t fight on May 1st but you can’t logically with a straight face make an argument for March 13." i just hope they get this shit done, i wanna go to vegas

Negotiations are at an impasse over Pacquiao’s failure to agree to random Olympic-style drug testing, said Leonard Ellerbe, the CEO of Mayweather Promotions, on Tuesday.

Pacquiao trainer Freddie Roach said his fighter is willing to comply with strict drug-testing standards, but Roach won’t allow Pacquiao to have blood drawn 48 hours before the fight.

Ellerbe said he would not let Mayweather enter the ring unless Pacquiao agreed to it.

Both sides agreed that the drug testing issue is the only hurdle preventing the fight from being finished. Earlier Tuesday, Golden Boy Promotions officially requested March 13 from the Nevada State Athletic Commission to host the show.

"As Floyd’s management, we are insistent that there be a level playing field," Ellerbe said. "This is in the best interests of the fighters, the fans and the sport. If you want a level playing field, the best way to do it is to have Olympic-style, random drug testing administered by the premier agency in the world, the [United States Anti-Doping Agency]."

Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum said the demand is "absolutely crazy," done simply to harass Pacquiao, who is squeamish about needles, and is proof that Mayweather doesn’t really want the fight.

so either manny is a blood doper or floyd is scared, which one is it?

well, if floyd is subject to the same testing, i don't see how it would give either one an advantage

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

floyd's camp is trying to give manny aids

Pac's camp says that Manny is deathly afraid of needles and this is the reason that Floyd is doing this.

[WAR OSCAR YEE]

lol, if true both sides are being gay

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

it's such a fucking joke when shit like this happens in boxing, just sign the fucking contract

[HOODS]

boxing is so fucking stupid.

[AMERICAN BONES]

i see no reason for manny not to accept olympic style drug testing, everyone knows that the state commission drug tests are a joke, for possibly the biggest fight in the history of a sport that has been tarnished by cheats and corruption, why not do the best job to ensure both fighters are clean?

right hoods, asking for stricter drug testing in a world filled with dopers = asking someone to wear a sombrero and boots in a fight

this isnt the ufc where the rules are set stone and guys are fighting for 250K, boxing has many variables and alot more shit to work out when both guys are set to make 40mil a piece

i dont see anything wrong with it, but it definitely seems like both sides are being bitches and demanding a bunch of shit and should just take the assload of money and get in a ring and fight.

in a perfect world, but the shit is alot more complicated than that especially with so much money and legacy involved

[AMERICAN BONES]

the fact that drug testing seems to be only thing holding up the fight at this point is ridiculous though

[Bones of Satan]

i don't see why he would avoid a drug test over $40 million dollars

[Buckfutts]

LOL @ mayweather trying to back out the fight

[Buckfutts]

the fact that drug testing seems to be only thing holding up the fight at this point is ridiculous though

Bud mayweather is smart he needs to get out of this fight so he doesnt get his arse kicked.

[Buckfutts]

Pretty Boy will put on a defensive master-class and take the little chinaman to school.

Yea his defensive master class is that good he wont even enter the the ring and fight :roflnut:

[mydixiewrecked]

sup brtt

[mydixiewrecked]

I FUCKING SAID, SUP BRTT

[mydixiewrecked]

FUCK YOU BRTT

[Buckfutts]

duckman is scared, bottom line, he would rather disgrace himself in front of his entire country for the SECOND time than get in the ring with floyd

:lmao:

Show me the source that Pacman is ducking?

I can show you how duckweather is is ducking though LOL

[Buckfutts]

I FUCKING SAID, SUP BRTT

i dont know what SUP means?

[mydixiewrecked]

i dont know what SUP means?

its negro slang for whats up

[AMERICAN BONES]

:lmao:

Show me the source that Pacman is ducking?

I can show you how duckweather is is ducking though LOL

Please do Burt, because Floyd has given manny everything he wanted, Floyd wants both fighters to go through the same testing every Olympian does, some reason Manny doesn't want to be tested, hmmmmm and Floyd is ducking?

[AMERICAN BONES]

The double standard with mayweather is unbelievable, if he doesn't give into manny demands Floyd is ducking, if manny doesn't give into Floyd demands Floyd is ducking, how does that work?

[Buckfutts]

The double standard with mayweather is unbelievable, if he doesn't give into manny demands Floyd is ducking, if manny doesn't give into Floyd demands Floyd is ducking, how does that work?

Tell me why out of everyone that Floyd has faced; and in the history of boxing itself that he or anyone else has never used Floyds demands on another opponent before they fight? Tell me why Floyd has never used these demands on Oscar or anyone else? I will tell you why he didn't fear them but he fears Pacman that is clear to see.

[Buckfutts]

Please do Burt, because Floyd has given manny everything he wanted, Floyd wants both fighters to go through the same testing every Olympian does, some reason Manny doesn't want to be tested, hmmmmm and Floyd is ducking?

Pacman is following the rules of the commission; tell me why Floyd cant do that?

[garglesemen]

at least we dont have to see that can Hatton fight anytime soon.

[Buckfutts]

Hatton demolished Yank after Yank apart from one. The guy wrecked yanks for breakfast. His record against them is extraordinary :smile:

[bukowski]

Qft. Hatton is the most overrated shitstain in the history of boxing. A naked two year old has better defense than that can.

[Buckfutts]

...........and tell me why Pacman should follow Floyds demands when its outside the normal structure of Boxing?

Negotiations with money is the norm; that's all that Pacman is doing and its been going on for years. But calling in 3rd party doping testers is not normal practice. Floyd has a perfect made up excuse now he hopes people will believe when he backs out. He knows that pacman is not going to want to take part in a 3rd party doping scheme; and get blood taken on the day of the fight; so Floyd will know that and all he will do now and say "Well I am not fighting him because he refuses a doping test; and I am not fighting a dirty fighter who cheats" Thats what Floyd will say.

The truth is that Pacman is not denying a doping test through the rules of the commission; he is following the rules to a T: but that is not good enough for Floyd he has shown himself to be nothing but a coward.

this

[bukowski]

Face the facts, he threw in the towel against Mayweather. His records comprised of solely beating cans and when he finally stepped in with a legitimate fighter, he got exposed with the quickness. The guy's a can. I've taken runny whisky shits with more staying power

Sorry I don't buy into the excuse that no one else has ever done it, there used to be no testing at all and the current system is a joke and is designed for dopers to test clean. I understand he doesn't owe Floyd shit, but by turning down these tests it's gonna cast doubt and in the court of public opinion refusal to take the test might as well be admission of guilt, and I do think they both owe it to the fans and the integrity of the sport that has been tarnished by cheats and corruption to do there best to insure this is a clean fight.

Now I don't think Manny is juicing and I'm pretty sure this is all posturing and helping hype the fight, in a few days they will have a agreed on a testing program and the fight will be go.

Also let's not forget Mannys camp as much as anyone loves to play these games during negotiations, they have switched the date three times and Floyd has come along with all of them, they asked for a ten million dollar weight clause which is outside of the commisions rules about weight as well and an absurd amount of money, but the one request Floyd has manny won't do, and somehow Floyd is the ass?

[bukowski]

American Born just annihilated Britt with a rapier of pure logic

[WAR RANDLEMAN!]

he held the shit covered innards he had ripped from his body under his nose so he could smell his own demise

[Bones of Satan]

BURT is crying this rapage right now to my ncharge account at fwi

[godofdixie]

according to sportscenter this fight probably won't happen

[AMERICAN BONES]

according to sportscenter this fight probably won't happen

There is too much money involved for the fight not to happen over something like this, they will compromise and both make 40+ million, Golden Boy saw an oppurtunity to throw some negative press at top rank and pacquiao and they did

the quote i saw was from bob arum. what negative press has been out there? i haven't been following the news about this fight.

[AMERICAN BONES]

the quote i saw was from bob arum. what negative press has been out there? i haven't been following the news about this fight.

The negative press would be manny refusing to take a more extensive drug test therefore making it seem as though he has something to hide, and Arum isan idiot he hasn't even been involved in the negotiations for weeks , they are all just posturing

[Javelina]

i hate to admit that i more or less agree with bs on the mayweather point. hatton is a brit can tho

[bukowski]

Americanborn is owning the shit out of this thread

[P 2 Tha Mofo J]

war floyd just for this fight
