Floyd Mayweather vs. Manny Pacquiao Won't Happen in 2010

Boxing is not dead, not nor is it dying

Getting a shot at Manny overseas?

I truly hope Arum (and in a way Manny, for accepting it) cop some SERIOUS heat for this.
(If it happens of course)

The rematch idea so soon is a joke though and I doubt would get many buys at all…

I read somewhere that they’d do Margacheato/Pacman in Monterry, Mexico if he couldn’t get licensed in California. When you have to resort to THAT, the whole idea of the fight probably isn’t the best idea.

I wish there was 1/10 of this fight’s hype getting up underneath next year’s Lopez/Gamboa fight… sigh

Hey, at least the Super 6 is still entertaining. Froch/Abraham in Monte Carlo is gonna be sweer.

im by no means a hardcore fan of boxing but this was a fight i was hoping to see o well i can still catch the Super 6 they need to make this fight happen though just for appearances sake

In that the course boxing has taken for the past few years will lead to its demise as a profitable sporting / business enterprise. There is no indication nor internal strategic change to address the major problems with the state of boxing right now, and when you don’t act fast and decisively to stem a hemorrhage, the body is sure to follow. It’s really a damn shame to see the Sweet Science in its current state and I hope to see the boxing community reinvigorate itself, but lets not sugar coat what is a serious problem.

but I want MMA news, boxing has been dead to a lot(not all) of MMA fans for awhile now.

Maybe its my envy towards Mayweather for stealing the fighter of the year award from the man we all know should of recieved it, but I just don’t seem to care for boxing as much as I used to.

I mean, I get it, all of the egos involved in this process have had a roll in screwing it up, but it’s also pretty clear to me that Manny wants the fight and Mayweather doesn’t.

At some point, Pretty Boy Floyd needs to decide that he wants the fight. It’s not fair to ask the champ and P4P king to grovel for this fight.

It’s Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather Won’t Happen in 2010

fixed.

of lay n’ pray?

is exactly how much is at stake here. these guys have so much on the line and the payday is so big, it isn’t just a- hey lets fight and get paid and go. these guys have a big world around them revolving on this fight too. This is the biggest boxing event we will have seen, it’s gonna be the biggest stage ever.

I wish it would happen sooner, but i’m sincere when i say i’m not freaking out over it. i’m pretty confident that it’s gonna happen. not like roy jones vs hopkins 2. it’ll happen when they’re still fresh in their primes. and when it does you can bet that the loser has a lot more to lose too so the pressure is gonna be insane. That could also explain why there’s some stalling. and anyway, same thing happened with ufc and fedor so there is no right or wrong here either. no boxing sucks, see boxing is dead. cause its happening in mma too.

Canelo is the only guy I’ll pay to watch fight right now.

Don’t care for boxing so I have any interest in this fight.

But the sport of boxing sucks. Good superfights are rare — 2 per year maybe? I love watching it when it’s not a chaotic mess, but for the last 5 years or so, it’s really taken a nosedive.

MMA is on the rise, and there are good superfights once a month at least. Boxing is falling apart before our eyes. And that’s unfortunate.

Arum, not Manny, is the culprit. Think about it. Who in their right mind gives Mayweather a time deadline then expect him to answer. This is perfect PR for Manny to get his name out there on behalf of Mayweather. Notice Arum didn’t bring Goldenboy in a negative light, he only mentions Al Haymon.

Deep down Arum didn’t want this fight, or knew Mayweather wouldn’t agree, due to the fact he covering up lies with more lies. He said Manny agreed to random testing, random means to the day of the fight, not a cutoff 14 days prior to the event. Those were old negotiations that were thrown out back in February when Manny didn’t want 14, suddenly it works for Arum.

I still put heat on Top Rank for not fighting other fighters outside of his own promotion. Clever tactic in order to bypass random testing.

Anyway you wish to cut the old crap cake. Mayweather still has 30-40 million dollar fights out there: Sergio Martinez, Andre Berto, Winky Wright, Miguel Cotto, Timothy Bradley, Kelly Pavlik. There are quite a few names that the PPV King can acknowledge. It’s Manny who is running out of fighters. Soon he’ll be picking from the 140’s and trying to make a lackluster superfight e.f. Pacquiao-Clottey.

They want to beat Mayweather without physically beating Mayweather. They use useless straps, bogus fights to give people reason to lookover Mayweather instead of fighting him.

The business of Boxing….

to post that I don’t care. This fight has gone way past it’s sell-by date. It gonna take longer to happen than Chuck-Wandy did …

This is why having MMA managers and fighters have all the power is bad business in the long run. While a promotion like the UFC appears to control too much, it does give leverage that a champion will fight the contender as opposed to simply ducking and ducking until neither fighter is anywhere near their prime. In the meantime, they fight others who pose no real risk to the money train that is neither justified nor shared with the undercard or prelim fighters. The UFC model is what is going to keep MMA from not going the downward direction of boxing.
