    Mayweather Wants Pacman on May 5th
    Floyd is serious now. Looks like the first weekend in May huge PPV fight might actually be the biggest fight of all time.

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. does not plan on taking another 16-month vacation from the boxing ring, like he did after easily outpointing Shane Mosley in May 2010.

        Boxing has taken the back seat for years now. This fight needs to happen. One of only a couple fights I would spend money to watch. This PPV will be the biggest ever with a price tag of probably $89.99 to watch. Fukk streaming this one is worth the money...

            I think this might be the real deal. Mayweather is usually the one being brought to the table...this time Pretty Boy Floyd is making the effort to get the deal done. The venue has already been reserved and is on hold for May 5th (not sure where yet)

                    I'm guessing either Cowboy Stadium or somewhere in Vegas.

                          Manny will never go for USADA testing, because he doesn't stand a chance if he is clean.

                                    floyd has the mgm on hold for may 5th right now....

                                    the biggest stumbling block remains, and always has been, bob arum

                                    most casual fans dont remember floyd buying out of his top rank contract for 6 figures to break free from arum....floyd and his manager al haymon had a plan to market floyd to the hip hop audience....bob arum wanted to promote him as the all american guy with out of this world skills......bob even said he didnt want to do floyd/oscar when he was with top rank because it couldnt sell.....well it sold....i mean really sold.....bob doesnt like it when guys like floyd and oscar break away from him and become megastars without him.....

                                    when they were supposedly negtotiating the first time around bob had cowboy stadium and josh clottey in his pocket the whole time...it was a sham......the 2nd time they were "supposedly" trying to put something together...arum put a countdown clock on his top rank website for floyd to sign some sort of deal....arum took a conference call after the deadline....at like midnight ....he was asked point blank "what concessions was manny willing to make this time around in regards to testing"...he answered "i cant comment on that"...not once did he even hint at what kind of deal floyd was supposed to sign at this deadline...not a mention.....the guy is a filthy liar....but hes darn good at making the general public think its floyd who is the one who is scared...in reality ...its bob who is scared to see his latest "prize" get ruined by the man who left his company to become a superstar

                                    if bob is willing to let it happen...itll happen...if not floyd will prob look at amir khan..another roach pupil...but one who works for the golden boy...with sergio martinez at a catchweight being a possibility...anything else for floyd would be a waste of our time

                                      I specifically recall sportbook.com had Pac a -125 type fav over MM 1 year ago after the Marg fight when rumors were the fight was on

                                      Pac at +odds is cash

                                        ive seen lines up in several places over the course of the last couple of years.....but i dont recall ever seeing pac as a favorite...even the tiniest

                                        but i agree...depending on who you like you will never see an opportunity to make money on/or a line on either guy like this.....

                                        i personally think floyd beats him...rather easily....and it will shock some casual fans how easy

                                          pac-man all day. I wonder how much $ it will gross. No doubt, it will set records.

                                              looks like a cover to take our minds off floyds legal issues. guy treats his women like he treats his opponents.

                                                lol... this fight is not gonna happen. mayweather just wants to divert attention from the ortiz debacle.

                                                    Id love to see mayweather win this then there is no way anyone could say he wasnt one of the greatest fighters of all time,

                                                    I am a huge money mayweather fan but for some reason have this bad feeling that manny will win

Mayweather is usually the one being brought to the table...this time Pretty Boy Floyd is making the effort to get the deal done. The venue has already been reserved and is on hold for May 5th (not sure where yet)
                                                      Hopefully Floyd has come to the realization that the 0 next to his name won't mean shit if he doesn't fight Pacman. It'll forever tarnished. With that said, I'm rooting for Floyd and hope he wins .... Would be an epic fight though to say the least ....

                                                              I am a huge money mayweather fan but for some reason have this bad feeling that manny will win
                                                              Take manny ko prop then chances are slim to none pacman takes a dec over mayweather.

It's not as simple as Floyd is the boxer and Pacquiao is the slugger because Pacquiao's hands are pretty damn fast.
