Just filed to http://latimes.com updating @FloydMayweather @MannyPacquiao talks. Not done, but they've agreed on @MGMGrand as venue
Mayweather and Pacquiao closing in on purse split, according to official involved in the talks. Drug-testing plan is done.
As they hammer out purse, next step is to get @SHOsports and @HBOboxing to get the broadcasting plan sorted out.
Very important to note until it's done, it's not done, but Thursday was a good day for the long-awaited super-fight, I'm told

This is the hilarious thing about this situation. If he fights Manny, he's ducking Amir. If he fights Amir, he's ducking Manny. If he fights Miguel or some other cat he's ducking both guys. And you could even throw in Kell, Keith or sh!t I bet 5 years from now people will say Floyd ducked Errol Spence in 2015. Boxing fan logicBadhusker wrote:Hopefully the fight gets made. If it does, Floyd will only be ducking Khan instead of both Pacquiao and Khan.
Not really boxing fans, just Manny Pacquiao fans. Don't worry, the vast majority of them will all disappear once Floyd whups that ass.ReggieDiggs wrote:This is the hilarious thing about this situation. If he fights Manny, he's ducking Amir.

I think there are straight boxing fans that hold these sorta opinions sadly. Granted there is a higher occurrence among Manny fans for Floyd situations specifically, but there are just straight up Floyd haters & dumbass fans out there too who are talking about ducking all the time among all levels of guys.KBB wrote:Not really boxing fans, just Manny Pacquiao fans.

I respect the troll game, but you suck at it man.montrealsuper wrote: You're an ignorant dude if you think ducking is not part of Floyd's MO. He even boasted about it on All Access: "I want my team to keep handpicking my fights, so we can keep stealing more money from the fans."
Checkmate. Floyd showed his true colors with that quote. He wants easy guaranteed wins, not high risk life threatening fights against a guy like Pacquiao or GGG at 154. Go away Diggs, your fraud has been exposed, for the coward duck pretender he's been since he joined forces with Haymon.

IMHO - Mayweather has a "serious" distaste for Top Rank and Bob Arum in particular... and I totally understand that, as there are certain previous employers that I have a distinct distaste for as well... #JustSaying...

So silly when people start quoting boxers
Mayweather can fight Some top 147lbers and make 30-35 Mill
Or he can fight Pac and make 100
Pac is the only one bringing him that kind of money
That eliminates anyone from having complete bargaining power
60/40 is where it should be at now
If Floyd offers that and Manny doesn't take it, it's on him/arum
If Floyd wants more, then he's the one looking for a way out
Fight might have been 50/50 split at one time, but Floyd obviously deserves more at present
Yeh, that's why you are trying to hard to refute what I say. lolReggieDiggs wrote:I respect the troll game, but you suck at it man.montrealsuper wrote: You're an ignorant dude if you think ducking is not part of Floyd's MO.

How stupid you sound, first you say that "that eliminates anyone from having complete bargaining power" and then you turn around and contradict yourself by saying "Floyd obviously deserves more at the present".FloydtheDuck wrote:There is no A side

Neither has COMPLETE bargaining power, one does however bring more to the party.KBB wrote:How stupid you sound, first you say that "that eliminates anyone from having complete bargaining power" and then you turn around and contradict yourself by saying "Floyd obviously deserves more at the present".FloydtheDuck wrote:There is no A side

This is why you Pacquiao fans continually miss the mark; one is saying contradictory stuff like you are and the other (Montreal) is just plain retarded and stupid on top of that.
Since I've seen your MO & poorly put together arguments I've just been loling at you bro. Keep it up though. Some of these dudes eating it up though so you doing alright.montrealsuper wrote:Yeh, that's why you are trying to hard to refute what I say. lolReggieDiggs wrote:I respect the troll game, but you suck at it man.montrealsuper wrote: You're an ignorant dude if you think ducking is not part of Floyd's MO.

I think the main reason this fight is on the table apparently despite Bob's & Floyd's obvious issues is cuz Saul & Miguel are on the table for May 2 & Saul & Miguel can compete with Floyd (& Manny for that matter) vs lesser guys like Amir or Keith or Kell. Floyd vs Manny is the only fight that for sure out does Saul vs Miguel (he could also swipe Miguel too). If Floyd fights anyone else he's gonna have move his customary cinco de mayweather date & that likely affects his buys cuz some cats will be spending their money on Saul vs Miguel instead of Floyd vs Amir or whoever.eastezrider wrote:It would surprise me if Mayweather "takes" the Pacquiao fight at this time (IE; in this economy).
