3,000,000++ buys. Boxing is officailly dead ::

 

This ain't nothing new. I said they were gonna be fighting in March. The only thing was that my source told me the 27th or some shit like that. However I still got the correct month correct. I'll Holla 5000

 

Careful, you might hurt your arm patting yourself on the back so much. ::

 

Dawg did you see all the shit I got for putting my name out there like that. Muthafukas were doubting me. But it's all good cause unlike my fight prediction record I finally got one right. So hell yeah I'm gonna gloat for a few. I'll Holla 5000

 

Glad they are focusing on March rather than May like others suggested would be the case. Really glad they apparently aren't going to dick around posturing for a higher % or whatever else.

 

I'm just messing with ya bro. You were right, I'll give you credit. :hammert:

 

When I saw the title of the thread, I was gonna make a joke about making sure to give Bigdawg credit for calling it, but he had to go ahead and make it for me.


TFK

 

I'm surprised the thread title isn't "Floyd-Manny March 13 Pretty much a did done deal"

Since the Contracted Weight is Apparently 147, REED Bets the Split Ended Up Being 50/50....

Baron is on fire lately!

 

The latest rumor on this fight seems to be Mayweather making some pretty ridiculous demands. I have read from few different places that Floyd is looking to weigh in even higher than 147, he is asking for bigger gloves and he is asking for Olympic style drug testing for Manny.

I'm not saying it's true, so do not jump on me about it. This is just what I have heard.

 

Nice....3 years ago Mayweather and his groupies said he wasn't a real welter, so why fight big welters like Mar,William,Mosley, Cotto...now he is tooo big can't fight at 147 anymore...:nono:..he can wear pillows as gloves if he wants...but Pacquiao can pick which 8-10oz gloves he wants to use..reyes..grants..whatever...

drug testing....i can accept...

 

Like I said though, it's just a rumor as of now.

 

Floyd Mayweather adviser: Reports on conflict over weight for Pacquiao fight 'absurd'
By David Mayo | The Grand Rapids Press
December 16, 2009, 5:20PM

Floyd Mayweather’s adviser called an Internet report that the proposed Manny Pacquiao fight might not happen because of a disagreement over weight “absolutely absurd” Wednesday.

The proposed March 13 fight, which will happen in either Las Vegas or Dallas, would be contested at the 147-pound welterweight limit.

An Internet report, citing unnamed sources who claimed that Mayweather wanted “wiggle room” in the weight limit was dismissed by his adviser, Leonard Ellerbe.

“There have been a lot of erroneous reports out there and I don’t know where they come from,” Ellerbe said. “All I can say is both sides are working very hard to get it done."

 

50/50 is fair. If Floyd wants the fight, he should share.

147 is fair. If Pac wants the welter title, he better be prepared to fight a guy who weighs in at 147.

So far, I like it.

 

I've heard reports that Floyd is asking for ridiculous amounts of money. Don't know how true they are. I also read that Manny's mom wants him to retire and is afraid of him fighting Floyd. Manny better hope Floyd doesn't find out she said that or he'll never hear the end of it.

 

::

Do you think it's true, about Manny's mum?

 

She doesn't have HBO, and so could never have heard of the magnificent Floyd in the first place.

 

I think it's pretty natural that fighters' moms will be scared and want their sons to retire ASAP.

 

Is she called Jinkee too?

 

Does she have shoes? Do flies fly all up around her face?

No matter what.. FLoyd is gonna totally whip that ass, i mean in a way that's like... almost embarassing... just a total schooling.. take'in him to the YARD

See, i'm sayin PBF is gonna scool your boy like he is his daddy, i know you are lovin on Pac but he's gonna get beaten up badly, floyd is gonna just tatoo him

 

Yeah, I think it's true, but you can judge for yourself:

Sources: MGM Will be Site of Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao

12/19/2009 8:05 PM ET By Lem Satterfield

Unbeaten Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao will contest their megabout for Pacquiao's WBO welterweight (147 pounds) title on March 13 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, according to sources with knowledge of the decision.

The MGM was chosen over the Dallas Cowboys' Stadium, whose owner, Jerry Jones, had offered $25 million to host the bout. The promoters of both fighters, however, had indicated that they felt the MGM's offer could surpass that of Jones.

The choice of the MGM Grand, whose deal specifications are unclear, is largely based in both fighter's familiarity with the location as well as their past success there.

News conferences already had been planned for Jan. 6, followed by one in Los Angeles two days later on Jan.8, the sources indicated.

Both Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 knockouts) and Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) were in agreement in principle with all of the fight deal's negotiation parameters, including a 50-50 financial split, competition at the 147-pound limit, eight-ounce gloves, and an
Olympic-style random drug test at the request of Mayweather's camp.

Mayweather, a 32-year-old who is being represented by Golden Boy Promotions' Richard Schaefer in the negotiations, is a five-time champion, with a 6-0 record at the MGM that includes two knockouts.

The 30-year-old Pacquiao, a winner of seven crowns in as many weight divisions, is 3-1-1 at MGM.

Last week, The Los Angeles Times, citing a source involved in the site talks, spelled out a scenario in which the MGM Grand would generate $28 million in live-gate sales, offer 40,000 closed-circuit seats through MGM/Mirage properties, and charge $100 a head for a possible $4 million surplus -- a total worth of around $32 million.
