    Mayweather/Pacman biggest hype since Delahoya/Trinidad
    Anybody see this happening, where this fight doesn't live up to expectation with one guy running around all day and not fully engaging the other..

    Delahoya and Trinidad were both undefeated going into that match and were the class of the light weights at the of the 90's. Only thing I remember was two dudes too scared to lose, with Trinidad winning because they had to pick a winner.

          why should either rush it, they are both making a ton of cash fighting guys past their prime. Both have fought De la Hoya, Hatton and Mosely for big pay and easy wins.

              Exactly. I finally realized that this fight will never happen. By fighting each other one of them will lose tarnishing their reputation and neither wants to lose to the other guy. Also if they fight each other it will be the biggest payday lets say 50 million. So they fight twice for 100 million or they can fight 3 bums past their prime and make the same amount with absolutely no risk. It would be silly to fight each other.

                I'll tell you one thing.... I want my $65 refunded from Saturday Night because that PacMan/Mosley "fight" was BS. They had an agreement to go the distance and make some $$. It's pathetic. Boxing is a joke with these clowns pulling this $hit.

                  Just like I said, its a joke to wait for this type of event & not have one of the guys even show up to fight, just stupid & thats why boxing suffers

                      I lost a ton of respect for Shane last Saturday. He was clearly in there only to receive a check. He talks this big game of going out and fighting to win, and shocking the world. It was a pathetic performance. Id expect this type of shenanigans from some youngster maybe..but not Sugar Shane

                        Another angle if the first one is epic, which I doubt you can have a 2nd and 3rd fight.

                          yeah, Shane really though twice before engaging Pacquiao after nearly getting KO in the 3rd. He was like, I rather run around a still get paid verses getting my @ss beat for nothing.

                                Im w/ ya bud. Until theres an actual fight that MEANS something **** this BS! Why the **** should i spend almost $70 for ... for what? I didnt order that last fight , the Boxing fan wants to sooo bad. My better judgement won out though. I mean Shane , yea who really thought he was going to really try and win the fight , i saw that coming a mile away. But Pac , **** man i had so much respect for you but wtf was that. I mean you have a fuckin dead man in front of you and you go 12 w/ a fuckin senior , Mosley can get on the Bus for a fuckin nickel. This is just some BS and the worst thing is theres sooo many great young fighters out there but nobody to promote them. Boxing is so fuckin inbreed its not funny , it just ***** each other and then ***** us! We , the fans , have sooo much untapped power that we really should start using.

                                  Yeah. Sports isn't supposed to be about the best competing against the best. It should be about the best never fighting anyone threatening to make as much $ as possible.

                                      Unless Bob Arum croaks soon this fight doesn't happen. It is that simple. Don't read the nonsense posted on various sites. Bob isn't putting his meal ticket in with a fighter who will beat him easily. Expect Marquez, Berto, and maybe Bradley before Manny hangs it up.

                                        I am really mad this fight isnt happening, I really think Mayweather has the skills to beat Pacroid. But why doesnt Mayweather fight this guy???? & why doesnt MANNY demand he fight him?? Manny should call him out for being a coward if it was true, but no he stays away from his biggest paycheck ever because he scared of the steriod testing talk. I hate them both

                                            Mayweather beating one of the faster opponent he'll ever face easily, I doubt it. It will be like the Mayweather verses Delahoya fight, where Mayweather will let the judges decide instead of risk losing.

                                              Manny's speed is nowhere near Floyd's. A lopsided decision if fight would take place in fall. It won't as Marquez is being lined up for Manny and Floyd will go after Martinez or Berto.

                                                Looks like your more confident than Mayweather himself.

                                                If Mayweather knew without certainty he will not lose, he would set up this fight a long time ago. Mayweather wants to remain undefeated, that is the main reason for not fighting such a challenger.

                                                    Boxing would be the real winner if this fight would happen, why do boxing fans`continue to pay for crap like the mosley/pac fight,

                                                    I understand pac wanted to win and he knew Mosley was only going to beat him if he stepped into a right but what a dull fight. would love to see manny go out with some great fights, rare in boxing history though. Marquezis a exciting fighter to watch, marquez would be a great fight

                                                        Bob arum/Manny pacquiao to blame for this fight not happening. Bob doesn't want to risk losing his cash cow in manny and manny doesn't have the balls to tell bob to make that fight happen... If manny tells bob "I'm only fighting mayweather" I gurantee you the fight would happen. Politics are usual.

                                                          Mayweather won't fight him because Arum thinks his fighter brings more to the table, and isn't willing to give a fair amount of PPV money. The steroid talk and all that other BS is just background noise, it is about money like everything else.

                                                            should be pretty close but manny wins

                                                              Thank you for stating the truth. People don't realize the hate Arum has towards Floyd for leaving Top Rank. He will spite himself, the sport he claims to love and it's fans just to keep Floyd from getting paid. The original fight 2+ years ago fell apart over the ppv split and Arum isn't going to budge. Manny isn't a sharp businessman and is letting Arum call the shots for him. Floyd knows Manny isn't taking p.e.d.s. He's just getting in his head. The fight would look very similar to Floyd's win over Marquez.

                                                                Dude, stop it.

                                                                The fight didn't originally happen because Floyd wanted a 14 day cut off on Olympic drug testing. Manny said 24 days, and negotiations stalled out.

                                                                Then Manny agreed to 14, Floyd changes his demand and says no cut off.

                                                                Manny agrees to no cutoff, Floyd wants a ridiculous 60/40 split over the purse.

                                                                Then Floyd started fighting women, $9 an hour security guards... basically everyone but actual boxers.

                                                                Floyd has always been the one refusing to compromise on this fight. Richard Schaefer has reached agreements with Bob Arum. Ross Greenburg and De La Hoya have confirmed this several times. Don King even got involved and couldn't get Floyd Mayweather to budge on the deal he and Arum worked out.

                                                                Floyd Mayweather has no intentions to fight Manny Pacquiao. Nor will he fight Sergio Martinez. Imagine that.

                                                                Get that guys dick out of your ass.
