IT APPEARS THAT IT'S OFFICIAL!! THE SUPERFIGHT IS OFF??

[KBB]

Manny DUCKman Quackiao and Arum are not going to fight against Floyd and is already meeting with Khan

Pacman and Khan meet in London to discuss possible fight

By James Slater

Filipino superstar and pound-for-pounder Manny Pacquiao is currently in London, taking part in a number of activities (yesterday he had dinner with Price Harry), and today at The Fitzroy Lodge Boxing club in London, Pac-Man met up with his friend and former spar-mate Amir Khan.

The two stars briefly discussed the possibility of fighting one another later this year – if neither welterweight can get the mega-fight they really want with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Pacquiao told Khan he would fight him if Team-Mayweather do not sign the contract on the hoped for May 2nd date that has been well documented.

“Yes, there’s a big possibility, nothing personal, we’re just doing our job in the ring,” Pacquiao said to Sky Sports News on the subject of a possible fight with Khan. “It’s not difficult for us because we respect each other and we are just doing our job in the ring.” (more…)

... and poor Floyd is not thinking about a backup plan at all

WTF are you talking about? Cotto has been the back up plan all along which is why nothing happened between Cotto and Canelo and instead Canelo and Kirkland already have their bout sewed up.

[ikorolev]

So, why are you making such a big deal about Manny and Khan talking to each other ???

[punchoutsb]

I thought you always waited to see the contract...

I'm not.

I can't believe that people cannot see what Ariza was stating has been true all along, the PacTURDS won't accept nor understand that they've been bamboozled by Bobfather ....AGAIN.

Bob Arum has been on every show he can be on and has even had Manny touring and speaking (but notice, not Roach because he slips up and tells the truth not knowing he's doing his own fighter in at the same time) but they have been doing the same thing that they've always done since back in 2010 when they went public (even though there has supposedly been a "hush order" put out on this fight negotiations) and started claiming "They Agreed to All the Terms" and that "We Signed The Contract" and "We Gave Mayweather a Deadline"!

If any of that sounds eerily familiar it's because it is the same story from 2010 all over again as Arum has made excuse after excuse after excuse in order to make their Pacquiao faithful (or Pacquiao Foolish) believe that it is Floyd's fault that this fight isn't happening.

Bob's Excuses are as follows:

Tell Manny to state publicly that
he's afraid of needles
Having blood drawn weakens him
he needs 6 months for a cut to heal
he needs an additional 17 thousand seats for an outside stadium
can't fight on this date because it is disrespectful to Mexicans (in reference to Cinco de Mayo)
When Floyd was supposed to go to jail they wanted the fight but when the judge allowed Mayweather the delayed sentence they switched and said they couldn't make that date

Why Pacquiao fans cannot see this man's obvious deception is beyond me. There are hundreds of other excuses all which can be confirmed with links that explains how often he has made Manny duck this fight but then they flip it and blame Mayweather.

I thought you always waited to see the contract...

Normally I do but why would I need to do that when it is abundantly clear from what Floyd stated in backing what Ariza said and the fact that we have Manny already meeting with Khan? (rhetorical question)

Besides, I said in my topic (which I know that reading comprehension isn't exactly a strongpoint for you) that IT APPEARS!!

[ReggieDiggs]

Where is the "official" part in your title in the actual story? Sounds like Amir & Manny are looking at options. Bob himself has stated Amir is an option. Doesn't seem like anything official happened here, cept you officially posted something, again, about Floyd & Manny.

If it happens or don't happen you don't gotta start a thread each day talking about the same sh!t as yesterday.

Because if there's anyone in boxing as scummy as Bob Arum, it's Alex Ariza.

Tell that to Cheppaaa aka Bnovelist.

Notice how I never stated that IT IS official, I stated it APPEARS!! Please comprehend before you respond.

What makes him scum? Because he doesn't side with Manny? He's done nothing but spit the truth, he even stated these things while he was under the TR camp.

[ikorolev]

What makes him scum?

It the fact that he is a piece of sh1t not enough ?

You'd have to prove that! I could say the same of you, would you just willingly accept it or would you want facts to prove it??

If Bnovelist jumped off a bridge would you?

So "It appears that its official, the superfight is off" isn't really looking like its official?

Alrite. I thought you might not be a dumbf#ck & just overly passionate about Floyd/Manny bs, but I was wrong. It appears I'm officially putting you on ignore.

Calls me a dumbf#ck but is unable to properly spell Alright!! Please put me on ignore idiot, for all I know you might just be Bnovelist/Chepaaa, you spell your words just like he does.

Pac, Arum and the networks have done everything in his power to make this fight.

I'm not exactly sure what Arum is doing to prevent the fight. They say they agreed to all demands, point by point. Arum and Haymon are even on direct speaking terms. At the end of the day it all comes down to Floyd, ("his own boss" as he calls himself)

Floyd retweeting the BS that Ariza spews just tells me he doesnt want to fight Pacquiao. Ariza is a former disgruntled employee and you really have to be a major league asshole to a lose a job working for Manny Pacquiao, one of the nicest guys in sports who gives people a lot of leeway.

I'm hoping Floyd comes up with a new reason when the fight is OFFICIALLY called off next week. This reason should satisfy Floyd's fans.

Anything coming from Floyd's mouth would satisfy his fans. He is a great boxer (could be even greater if he didn't cherry-pick), but such an unpleasant personality. How can they pray to him ???

[hurricanemitch14]

I wish these two guys would retire and fornicate off!!!!!

[Badhusker]

It seems like i read that article yesterday or the day before? I also read the same day Manny, even though going to the UK, said he was confident that the Floyd fight would go through.

Remember - NEWS FLASH - it's the internet, therefore it's true! That makes everything we say on the forum is also true!

Personally, I think it is all part of the hype and selling of the fight because when signed, the window is pretty short compared to what you would normally want to properly promote a fight. I don't think Floyd and Manny traveling around the globe, both at the same time, is a coincidence.

[Ian1973]

Anyone surprised this fight isn't going to happen? YAWN! Not me I knew it wouldn't happen despite all the crap we've read and heard over the last few months. Floyd won't fight Manny, Khan or Golovkin ... end of story.

To be honest I'm kind of bored of Floyd's cherry picking and Manny is past his best anyway. I'd rather be watching the new blood coming through, far more interesting for me. Both these guys might as well retire, there's nothing really they are going to gain now from continuing in the ring.

FIXED once again.

A properly motivated individual would go all the way through the hundreds, perhaps thousands of #MayweatherPacquiao posts and find the "original"... but, I'm barely able to get though dozen on the first page...

anywho... thot this was interesting, if you've seen it please feel free to ignore...

Showtime's Espinoza muddling the issue for "Pacquiao-Mayweather"

Espinoza stated: “Floyd isn’t holding anything up… There is no contract that is awaiting Floyd’s signature… there’s no agreement or closed deal or contract or anybody signing off on anything.”

Thanks East - I was going to post the same interview from a different site. The thing is, if a contract is incomplete (mainly because of HBO and Showtime working out their details) Why would anyone sign an incomplete contract? Apparently it is true that both Manny and Floyd have agreed to their terms. We are talking about huge amounts of money though, that both networks want the bigger piece of the pie, but that depends on the winning side's network owning the replay. HBO doesn't seem to confident that Manny will win I guess?

I don't think Floyd really minds Arum and Pacquiao and Koncz lying to the public making them think Floyd is holding things up. Anything to help promote the fight. So many think Floyd is just scared to fight Pac. "Pay to see me win, or pay to see me lose, as long as you pay to see me."
