Floyd stan?

I picked Shane to win that fight because I didn't think Floyd could take punch like the one he did in that second round...

and who said Floyd would KO Shane? I said he could of stopped him and provided you a valid reason for that...That reason had nothing to do with punching power or a KO...Anyone whose paid attention to this sport has seen countless corners throw the towel and refs step in to stop fights due to one fighter being completely out of it and taking punches...Hence why I said if Floyd put together some combos instead of being content with pot shotting a tired and done fighter he could of got the stoppage...Once again, re-watch rounds 9-12 and tell me Shane wasn't barely hanging on...

You won't do that though because you probably know I'm right, you'll just keep posting emoticons like a damn fool...

Floyd aint getting no stoppages breh.. His punch output is way too low for that and his power is very meh. He sticks with potshoting because its safe and he can get an easy decision that way by because of his great defense and accuracy. Also he has brittle hands and he doesn't wanna risk fukking them up

Got to love Poochiao PR team, they know it isn't his or Floyd's fault that the fight ain't been made currently but all this 'sign the contract', 'if you care for your fans, sign', 'don't be scared' comments he's coming out with going to have all the media & fans on Floyds case

So.......Team Pacquiao has been in contact with Amir Khan and Oscar De La Hoya to make Manny Pacquiao vs Amir Khan?

How the HELL could they possibly be negotiating in good faith when they are discussing a Pacquiao/Khan fight?

“I truly don’t believe that Floyd is going to step up to the plate and fight us because he doesn’t give two s–ts about his fans,” Koncz told RingTV.com. “We’re not going to sit around waiting for him. We haven’t closed the door on it, but we’re not going to sit around waiting, so we’re looking at other options.

“That includes Amir. I’ve spoken to Amir on a couple of occasions, and Golden Boy has talked to him, too, I talked to Amir directly before [Golden Boy Promotions President] Oscar [De La Hoya] and [Top Rank CEO] Bob [Arum] got involved. We’re not going to sit around with our hands up our butts.”

With Mayweather being aligned with Showtime, and Pacquiao with HBO, among the details discussed have been how the networks can jointly broadcast the bout. Officials from Showtime and HBO have reportedly discussed something similar to the Lennox Lewis-Mike Tyson joint pay-per-view broadcast in June 2002.

Key aides are reportedly working on Mayweather and Pacquiao through Corporation Chief Executive Les Moonves of CBS, Showtime’s parent company. Showtime’s Stephen Espinoza was reportedly part of a Jan. 14 meeting in New York that included HBO chairman and CEO Richard Plepler, HBO Sports President Ken Hershman and Showtime chairman and CEO Matt Blank.

“We’ve got a long way to go, and significant open issues to overcome,” said Espinoza during a Jan. 15 interview with RingTV.com. “But we’re making meaningful progress, and we’ll continue to work at it.”

But Koncz said Pacquiao won’t wait much longer.

“But just because we’re looking at other options doesn’t mean that we’ve slammed the door on Floyd either. But I’m not very optimistic that he’s going to step up to the plate. We’re going to fight in April or May, regardless of whether it’s Floyd or somebody else,” said Koncz.

"Bu-bu-but, Floyd and Cotto"


FOH


Bob Arum doesnt even know what Cotto is doing, and NOWHERE has anyone from Floyd's or Cotto's camp said anything about them 2 fighting...just random "rumors". BUT for a fact, Bob Arum is already holding convos with ODLH/GB about Pacquiao vs Khan Michael Koncz (Pac's advisor) has spoken to Amir Khan himself in regards to the fight as well on a couple different occasions already


Pacquiao stans....how are yall gonna this?

You don't know what you are talking about.

Arum will make less money in this fight. He want be the lead promoter in this fight and he won't fukk the fighters on the back end. The contracts for this fight will be iron clad. None of that funny shyt he gives pacq advisor/manager for pacq to sign(a guy who bob hired).

Then break it down for me cause your right I don't know the details of it. What I do know is that Pac is not undefeated anymore and has a limited number of fights left. Also Mayweather will be his biggest opponent ever from now till the end. So it does not make sense for him to protect Pac or hold him out from fighting. Even if he gets a smaller cut like you say it will probably be more than any other fight he's going to make off of Pac.

So break it down for me why he would be holding out. Because logic tells me only person to drag this out is Mayweather.

 

[Big Boss]

Talked to my guy briefly and he said that it's not HBO blocking the fight now. It's Bob Arum hiding behind HBO. He wants HBO to get a high percentage of the PPV sales, while TR has 0 to do with HBO. He said Bob basically knows Manny and his people agree to the terms he didn't want them to agree on and now that he sees he's losing the money che thought he was gonna scheme, he's telling HBO that Sho/FLoyd has too much control and that they should get at least 40% of all PPV sales. That's why Bob was out there telling peoiple he's stepping aside to make the fight happen. He's basically the one telling HBO that they should have their own broadcast. He still believes the fight gets made because Arum has the contract that Manny already signed. He said before Pac agreeing, Arum thought it was a co-promotion with Haymon but he feels that Haymon/Sho did not even mention TR or talk to him at all. So, that's Arum's last hoorah to get a few bucks.




About Wilder, he said Wilder didn't come in 100. He was hurt during camp. Also added that Wilder wanna fight all the top dogs and wanna headline a PPV this year

About Cotto, he said Cotto is going through some personal issues and Canelo knows that. I didn't wanna ask him if his wife found out he was on the low or something

He also mentionned that Haymon is trying to make boxing a popular sport again and draw interests from everybody. He wants to set up big fights but the plan is to have fights out there like the UFC doing it.

He also added Schaffer wanted Haymon to get Ward but Jay got to him first. He said Ward should have not signed with Jay because it's not a good financial decision. Less fights and less exposure with less money.


He's gonna put a show with Tarver again in Fort Lauderdale if Tarver can stay sober

He said he met Broner and dude is actually smart and not as stupid as he plays in the media

PM me with questions to ask him brehs

What IS he saying though?

When asked direct questions all he does is start spinning off into regurgitated variations of the same one liners he's been using for the past 5-6 years...

You can't even get a concise, direct answer outta the dude.

I mean what's the point of continuing to bring up PPV numbers and how much more money he makes compared to Pac? Does he have a problem with the proposed financial split or what? What the hell is he getting at?

hes bringing it up cause it still needs to be worked out
whether its between the networks, or the fighters, there;'s still clearly stuff that need to be worked out
floyds trying to get the deal done behind closed doors and dealing with the negoitations like a adult
arum and pacquaio just shouting out random comments because they wanna win the PR war
don't be a homer like the casuals that believe "everythings been agreed to do, we just waiting on floyd"

im pretty sure ure smart enough to know that's not the case

TR and GB are discussing Manny Pacquiao vs Amir Khan per Team Pacquiao themselves.....I thought they were all in on Mayweather vs Pacquiao though?


If Manny "agreed to all the terms", then WHY is HBO holding up negotiations with Showtime. They are on Pacquiao's side, what's the problem if the "terms were agreed to" already?



So many questions, so little answers

The hold up is not HBO.
Floyd wont sign the contract... Floyd was told he has until the end of January to do so or they're moving on.. Floyd reaching out to Cotto for a rematch IS A FACT because Floyd rather figt Cotto than Pacquiao.. Espinoza will be fired in a few days

 

[Silkk]

Shocking

Stop it, bro. Everyone other then you and Dan can wrap your heads around Arum fukking this up... Credible sources are telling you that the networks néed to reach agreement and you still blame Floyd... And Cotto people already said that Floyd team has not reached out to them. It's ARUM NOW... NO ONE ELSE.

I know we all want Floyd/Pac with no delays, but Pac/Khan is a good fight. I wouldn't be mad at that as a backup plan for Pac.

And unlike the rest of you guys, I honestly wouldn't be mad at Floyd/Cotto 2 if it was above 154. I'd just feel very bad for GGG because he'd never get that lineal MW title.
