    I think it will still happen but I hope Paquiao and Co. don't back down from insisting Floyd meets their weight demands. I think they know that if Floyd comes into the ring 15-20lb heavier then Manny is doomed.

    it's not about the money, it's being "undefeated".

    For what it's worth:

    Too much money in this fight for $$$ not to take the match. He simply wouldn't be living up to his name if he didn't fight Manny.

    "now body"??? :confused:

    Not when there is an "of showdown" following the potential "that's what she said" phrase, sir. :eek: I have STRETCHED many, but I won't STRETCH THIS ONE. <- that's what SHE said.

    I hope Gayweather has to play by the rules. He knows he can't win unless he gets undue advantages.
