    Awww, if the only thing standing between this fight is the law then there shouldn't be much trouble.

    Ok so it's not happening. It's a ego contest now. Each camp wants to dictate the date. I'll say this, usually when you negotiate a fight, including the date, you discuss with the other camp. So i don't understand why Floyd went ahead with a may 5th on his own. I knew that right there would cause problems. I still think Arum should call his bluff and just accept the fight.

    Arum is almost as scared of Floyd as Pacquiao is

    :confused:

    And that is why Floyd consistently ducks a fighter he is clearly better than?

    Floyd Mayweather is the Tracy McGrady of boxing... Let's be real...

    Does Floyd have license to fight in Texas??? Cowboy stadium would be the best venue to host a fight like this...

    You have it all backwards, Manny is the one ducking. And Manny just fights the boxers that Floyd has already beaten.

    forget who's ducking who and who's scared of who...both sides have finally without any doubt called each other out.

    Now its about $20 million. You really think you would walk away from $20 million. Bull****. Mayweather is all about that money. $20 mil is not chump change. Thats a significant amount. Pac, Arum, Koncz will never pass up a chance to make that much money whether they believe Manny will lose or not.


    So its definitely not about ducking anymore. Its about money and if Maywether refuses then all questions will be answered and we will see who is ACTUALLY ready to take the fight.

    both fighters don't need each other. they both can still bring in millions by fighters bums that they clearly outmatch and people will still watch it.

    if they don't fight each other people should boycott their fights.

    20 mil? More like 70 mil. I think Floyd cared more about the o than the money. In his mind the o would make people think of him in conversation of all time greats. After the jmm fight Floyd knows he can beat Pac so he is calling him out .

    by $20 mil...i was referring to only the increase in gate per fighter from having a larger venue.

    They will be making a lot more money than that.

    he's been calling him out for a long time. ( as long as manny meets all his pre-fight conditions).

    Marquez is the only one Floyd fought that Manny beat first. Floyd hasn't fought as much as Manny, period.

    yeah that whole argument that Floyd fought better competition and that Manny fought Floyd's left over is stupid and anyone using that argument is clearly r****ded and doesn't know a thing about boxing.

    Already alled Dei out on it and he couldnt name a single fighter that Floyd fought who is so called a HIGHER CALIBER fighter that Manny's opponents.
