Floyd Mayweather Jr-Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[_Anghellic_]

Hbo not believing in there fighter.

Of course not they've known for 6 years now that PAC would get that ass whooped. Not agreeing to the replay deal of Lewis/Tyson is just

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

I really do not understand TR and Pacquiaos need to spread false information when you have agreed to terms...

HBO is cock blocking the fight right now because they don't believe Pacquiao can win but its all Floyds fault because he's not signing imaginary contracts...

Even if there was a contract drawn up for dude to sign it doesn't mean shyt because the networks still haven't agreed on anything...If the networks can't agree there is no fight...

Thats some hoe shyt.

That contract reportedly took 15 months to make.

Hbo already got more subscribers too... they got some greedy jews.

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

BTW fukk HBO and anyone that supports that network...

Putting up a fight against terms you had no problems with when your fighter was the overwhelming favorite is downright disgraceful...

 

[So-Chi]

How does @Black_Jesus defend this until it's Floyd's fault is the real question

 

[Black_Jesus]

There you nikkas go assuming shyt again and running with it.. Who says an agreement is on the the table for for the winner to even secure the broadcast?? For all we know, Showtime is demanding the broadcast and HBO wont agree to it.. We already KNOW Floydie said if the fight happens, it has as to be on Showtime... We dont know if Showime is demanding the re broadcast regardless of the winner..

 

[GzUp]

Espinoza did say they wanted to keep all the negotiations in house.

Mayweather-Pacquiao Talks Stalled By Network Battle


UNDEFEATED pound-for-pound king Floyd Mayweather Jr. wants the May 2 fight against eight-division world champion Manny Pacquiao, but the executive vice president and general manager of Showtime in Stephen Espinoza said the issue of which network will televise the delayed broadcast between Showtime and HBO Sports is holding up a final agreement.

Showtime has completed four fights in a $200 million six-fight deal with Mayweather, while HBO Sports carries Pacquiao’s fights.

Back when the networks got together in 2002 to stage the Mike Tyson vs. Lennox Lewis pay-per-view, they contractually agreed to allow the winner's network to secure the delayed broadcast of the pay-per-view. This time around, HBO is not willing to agree to those terms. HBO wants both networks to have the delayed broadcast. Insiders believe HBO is taking that position because Mayweather is the favorite to win.

Espinoza was quoted by Steve Carp of the Las Vegas Review Journal, that while the two networks have “a congenial relationship, each network has its own financial objectives.”

Pacquiao and his longtime adviser Michael Koncz met with Top Rank promoter Bob Arum at his home in Los Angeles yesterday, with the adviser explaining the details to the Filipino who, he said, “is comfortable with everything.”

He indicated to Carp that it also included a Plan B in case the Mayweather fight doesn’t push through, but Arum declined to get into the details, emphasizing their focus is on Mayweather.

“We’re waiting on him,” Arum said.

Koncz, who flew to New York with Pacquiao, confirmed what Arum told BoxingScene/Manila Standard/Viva Sports, that “there’s nothing from Floyd’s side yet.”

The terms have been reportedly agreed upon, including the May 2 date, the MGM Grand Garden venue, a 60-40 split in favor of Mayweather and after some discussion, both sides have agreed to random drug testing by the United States Anti-Doping Agency.

Espinoza indicated that Mayweather was aware of what was going on regarding the negotiations and reiterated what strength and conditioning coach Alex Ariza said that the American wants the Pacquiao fight badly.

“Mayweather is more motivated than ever to get this fight done,” said Espinoza.

Espinoza believes it’s in the interest of both sides to get this resolved as soon as possible.

“Rather than say there is a drop-dead date, I would look at it more as we’re running a race and what’s important is crossing the finish line. If we don’t cross the finish line, it doesn’t matter how close we are. But I can tell you, there’s still a lot of race to be run,” he said.

HBO like in negotiations now that the fight has a real chance of getting made

Now all of a sudden, what they did for Lewis vs Tyson isn't good enough

Your stanning has no limits do they?

Because you stan Pacquiao doesn't mean you have to also stan Freddie Roach, Michael Koncz, Top Rank Promotions, Bob Arum, Todd DuBoef, HBO Sports, and even Corona breh

What do you MEAN he doesn't say anything about the winners network securing the broadcast?

It says it right there in English:

Back when the networks got together in 2002 to stage the Mike Tyson vs. Lennox Lewis pay-per-view, they contractually agreed to allow the winner's network to secure the delayed broadcast of the pay-per-view. This time around, HBO is not willing to agree to those terms. HBO wants both networks to have the delayed broadcast

HBO is not willing to agree to those terms. Whoever wrote the article spoke directly to Stephen Espinoza....I'm sure he knows what's going on in negotiations and gave the information directly in the article about what the hold up is about.

HBO doesn't have the same faith in your boy against Mayweather, as they did in Lewis against Tyson
