    That Mayweather/Pacquaio fight is tentatively scheduled for March 27th. Don't know the specifics regarding the split or the weight. We will see if my source is spot on. I'll Holla 5000

    I have my doubts on it taking place that early. I think May sounds more likely.

    That would make sense to have the fight in May. Whether the fight takes place in March or May hopefully it will happen sooner rather then later. I'll Holla 5000

    I think it's an event that will not have any LEAKS because TRUST between the two negotiating parties is a must for it to go FORWARD.

    The first we will hear about it is when it is FORMALLY announced.

    If the fight is to be made then in the next 4 weeks it will be announced and a world press tour can commence.

    Perhaps it will be the BEST XMAS present boxing fans have ever received.

    Do you THINK that you could place MORE emphasis on your ideas WITHOUT typing your KEY points in all caps?

    Isn't Arum keen for Manny to fight in March because of Manny's political work?

    pacquiao suffered a busted eardrum and had a rough fight with cotto. doesnt seem like its in his best interest to take this fight so soon. not to mention that a promotion such as this will require several months.

    UFC 111, GSP vs Hardy is scheduled for March 27, so it'll be interesting if they go head to head. GSP is a pretty good PPV draw, but the lack of a marquee opponant might hurt their numbers, especially if it's against a Pac\Floyd PPV.

    I doubt the fight will happen in March...in May or sometime in the summer yes..but when it does Dana White won't put up a UFC PPV event..he will do some Free Spike show....Pac vs. May will still do over 2 million ppv buys...

    Talk about stating the obvious. The UFC PPV would have gotten slaughtered.

    Props to your source. ESPN says PBF is cool with March or May and that it could be moved to May 1st.

    So much for PBF "ducking" Pacquiao like people hoped.:cheer:

    i never thought the fight wouldn't happen, but i have to admit i'm surprised at just how quickly it seems to be coming together. I thought Mayweather would squeeze every last dollar he could out of this.

    2 months is enough time. These guys are superstars....they don't need 4-5 months to reach out to a vast audience....they can get there quickly with mainstream tv appearances etc... And to anyone with a slight intersest in boxing, this is a MUST see. It gets to the point, where if you aren't gonna tune in to this, then you'll never pay for a boxing fight in your life.

    Nope I didn't get the information from Johnny. I promise you that. But can I get the credit I deserve for putting this information out before anyone knew. That's all I'm asking for. I'll Holla 5000

    I knew it would be before the World cup started obviously, or before the World cup fever would go into overdrive, didn't expect it to be as early as March though, was thinking more along the lines of May, but with the whole political thing for Manny maybe March is right. Props either way for calling it though Bigdawg.
