Floyd Mayweather Jr-Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[Black_Jesus]

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:



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

Im not gonna assume anything about these negotiations unless its a direct quote from partys directly involved in the negotiation

This fight will have a rematch, regardless of who wins.


The only way this will end up in a trilogy is if Pacman wins 1 of the first 2 fights

 

[Big Boss]

who said what they did for Tyson Lewis is even on the table?

The deal was that whichever network's fighter won, that network would get the delay rights. Lewis won and HBO showed the replay, and the fight was forever branded an HBO fight. The Showtime replay that was produced never aired.


So the deal can be done. It's just not easy.


Right off the bat, I'm told that HBO is reluctant to handle the delay the same way as in the 2002 deal, preferring instead to have any delay air simultaneously on both networks. Perhaps HBO was OK with the 2002 arrangement because Lewis was such a huge favorite over Tyson and it was worth the risk. In a Mayweather-Pacquiao fight, Mayweather will be the favorite.

@Black_Jesus save it breh. The sting will be easier to take when PAC loses if you quit caping for HBO.

My respect for Showtime has grown tremendously just off the fact they took the gamble with Tyson/Lewis knowing their guy was the underdog in order to give the fans the fight we wanted...

Now that the situation is reversed HBO sports out here acting like the fukkboys they always been...

 

[CanesMiamiLakers]

It's not his fault if hbo and showtime can't make a deal

But regardless, Floyd vs Cotto 2 isn't a good look regardless

If no Pacquiao, Floyd vs Khan/Brook is better than Floyd vs Cotto 2 imo
