    Floyd is set to make 120+million regardless of Arum....if Mayweather really wants to fight Pacquiao....not a thing in the world would get in his way.....so Arum talks to much..? SO!!! ...ARum says the fight is almost made only one or two obstacle to solve....FLOYD n company come out say the fight is NOWHERE near done...OKAY...WHY isn't the fight near done?? MORE EXCUSES FLOYD???

    Arum isn't going anywhere....using Arum as an excuses is pathetic....Arum being the promoter for Pac...isn't taking any money out of pocket FLOYD...so that excuse is BULLSHIT....

    When Floyd runs out of excuses, he will bring new unacceptable terms...like Manny to hand him his 2nd and 3rd born children so when Manny refuses, he can blame Pacman for killing the fight.

    [h=1]Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao 2015: Boxers Agree To Match Worth $250M, Could Announce Fight At All-Star Game, Report Says[/h]

    Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao agreed Saturday to stage a long-awaited boxing match worth an estimated $250 million, according to a Sunday Telegraph report. If confirmed, the fight is expected to be the richest in boxing history.

    Pacquiao agreed to the deal’s terms and has already signed a contract, a source close to the 36 year old told the newspaper. Mayweather, who is currently in New York, has agreed to the deal, but has yet to sign the agreement the source said, adding that Mayweather could sign the deal on Sunday and announce the fight at the NBA All-Star Game at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
    “Manny has 100 percent signed his side of the deal,” the Pacquiao source told the paper. “It is now over to Mayweather to close the deal and announce the fight.”
    A potential Mayweather-Pacquiao fight would be held May 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, according to the Sporting News. The two camps were engaged in negotiations for years, with each side accusing the other of holding up the match. Concerns over pre-fight drug-testing and how the record-setting pot would be split derailed negotiations on numerous occasions since 2009.
    But talks intensified in 2015, particularly after Mayweather and Pacquiao met for the first time at halftime of a Jan. 27 game between the NBA’s Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks. Two days later, the two men met for more than an hour to discuss the potential bout’s terms face-to-face.
    "It was a business meeting, but it wasn't a tense business meeting. I think that's because they both have mutual respect for each other. We'll determine what will happen over the next couple of days,” Pacquiao representative Michael Koncz said at the time, according to ESPN.
    Mayweather will reportedly receive a 60-40 split of the fight purse, according to ESPN. The two sides have also agreed on pre-and-post-fight drug tests, as well as the type of gloves that will be used in the match.
    Mayweather has two fights remaining on a six-fight pay-per-view contract with Showtime, while Pacquiao is under contract with HBO/Time Warner. Pacquiao promoter Bob Arum told the Associated Press earlier this month the two sides had already reached an agreement to simulcast the bout, a claim that Showtime executive vice president Stephen Espinoza denied Feb. 6.

    Seems positive, but if history's anything to go by, there's still time for PBF to make more excuses in order to avoid Manny yet...

    Hope pacquiao hasn't agreed to wear pillow gloves. Actually, he should not have agreed to wearing anything but reyes. Pbf is such a cheat.

    If that was the concession that makes or breaks the fight do u think Pacquiao should turn down 50+million?

    Seems tomorrow is when we'll find out what the deal is either way

    You know why the negotiations is taking so long? Because Floyd is still struggling trying to read the contract by himself!

    "I haven't signed. He hasn't signed."

    Straight out of Floyd's words at the NBA All-Star game

    I have pretty much given up on this fight. Even with all these ''credible'' source claiming that it's a done deal, I still expect it to not happens.

    Floyd's Tooooo DUMB to Realize It, but the Fact he Plays the "I'm My Own Boss" Card (Which he ISN'T, but that's Another Topic) Will Only Make Things WORSE When he DUCKS Pacquiao, Yet Again...

    "I'm My OWN Boss...You've Got to Understand, Pacquiao has a Promoter, but Floyd Mayweather is his OWN Promoter"....Yep, so MAKE the Fucking Fight, Already...Pacquiao's Promoter will Be IRRELEVANT to Floyd's Financial Take, @ the End of the Day, so MAKE the Fucking Fight, Already...

    & WHOMEVER Floyd Ends Up Fighting in May will ALSO Have a Promoter...& they WON'T Be their Own Boss Either...The SAME Criteria Floyd will Try to Use, to Explain his COWARDICE, will Apply to WHOMEVER he Decides to Fight, So What's the Difference???...

    But Again, the DUMB Motherfucker Doesn't Even Realize It...Hopefully the Media RAKES his Sorry Ass Over the Coals, if he WILLINGLY Allows this Fight to Slip Through his Fingers...

    Yet AGAIN...

    Floyd is just shook. Pacquiao spooks him, plain and simple.

    It's obvious he doesn't wanna fight him.

    It really is this simple. Everything else is just a smoke screen. Only those in denial choose not to see through it.

    yep. At first (it seems like it was a hundred years ago), I was relatively sympathetic to Floyd drug testing demands, but it soon became obvious that it was only a sorry excuse. Now, I dont think anyone with an ounce of brain can claim that Floyd is not avoiding pacquiao.

    Yeah, but Instead of just Coming Out and ADMITTING Your Boy is SCARED of a Sawed Off Asian with a Perpetual Smile, you Regurgitate Floyd's Excuses like a YES Man...

    Seriously, it's bizarre. Is Neil Floyd's lawyer or spokesperson? :lol:

    Every time this dicussion happens, there's Neil justifying all of Floyd's pathetic excuses and ducking ways.

    It is Bizarre...

    Neil KNOWS his Shit for the Most Part and Even Appreciates LOWER Weight Fighters, Unlike Most So-Called "Boxing "Fans"...

    But When Floyd's Name Comes Up, Neil's Inner DEFENSE ATTORNEY Rises to the Surface....

    There is NO Justification for this Fight NOT Happening, yet Neil's Justified Floyd's Actions Every Step of the Way....

    The hilarious thing is that Floyd has no excuse this time. And when asked last night about it, he straight up down played everything and acted like he didn't know what was going on.... Right Floyd :wack:

    Dude is so dense that he doesn't even realize he's making it OBVIOUS that he wants nothing to do with a Pacquiao fight.

    Mayweather will next claim he's never heard of Manny Pacquiao and Neil will be on here saying he believes him.

    Yep after hearing that interview it was pretty obvious the fight isn't happening and the reason was simply shown through Floyd's answers that he simply doesn't want it.

    That's poppycocK. They fought in the same card and mayweather jr saw the man quit against agapito sanchez. (RIP)

    Seems like the fighter's details are mostly agREED upon and they're waiting on the networks to settle theirs. A fight this big get more complicated when both fighters fight under different networks. Happened last time with Tyson/Lewis and now the roles are reversed since it's Showtime who owns the champ. Hopefully this mediatic silence means it's gonna happen. If not on May then in September. I think there's too little time left to promote such a big fight properly and for the fighters to get ready. We're talking about two months? That's not enough.
