    Don't think it is. Pac's side agreed to a deal that that was offered by the Mayweather team last month. When Arum and Koncz started publicly stating that a deal was close, Floyd perked up and started demanding changes to the deal that had been agreed. If Dan Rafael is to be believed, the biggest obstacle at this point is Floyd's narcissism, not any major financial issue.

    Normally all this stuff serves as great promotion for the fights they actually do make, that's almost the entire point. But it'll be interesting to see if there's a backlash against Floyd if it doesn't happen this time.

    Was sorta' thinking that. I mean, after tax I'd say Floyd will make close on 50 million if this fight sells, maybe more. Manny will make 35 plus I would think.

    Still think Mayweather faces Cotto -
    in fact I was sure of it when I heard that the Canelo - Cotto fight had collapsed

    Have to agree. Could be wrong but it looks like that's where it's headed at the moment.

    But is Cotto not managed by Bob Arum, the very one who Mayweather says he won't deal with in the Pacquiao fight negotiations?

    Just looked it up, Arum is his promoter. Mayweather is nothing but a hypocrite if he signs to fight Cotto.

    Mayweather exposed himself as a hypocrite a long time ago. Remember when catchweights were cheating.

    Arum co promotes Cotto's fights as far as I know, he has his own promotional company Miguel Cotto Promotions...

    Some talk that Bradley could face Cotto at 155.

    Cotto is really going to drag that middleweight lineage through the shit.

    ^^^ Jaysus! Bradley isn't even a big welterweight! He's not even a top 5 welter at this stage either.

    Greetings Joseph.... Excuse me whilst I have a look around the forum...

    With the exception of one or two.... This forum needs some action, some proper debate, no more of this tippy toeing around..

    Half the contributors on this forum think they're butlers or something (Yes sir, No sir, Three bags full sir... Pleeease!).. Its time to grow a pair, its time to crack the whip, the boxing Guru is returning shortly....

    Now Joey me ould mucker, go forth and spread the word.

    I would say it is a done deal despite Floyd being interviewed the other day at a basketball game, I think it was, saying nothing is for definite. He wouldn't be confirming a done deal. That's for his business management.

    72 days till May 2nd. This has to be the shortest time that PBF (since he became global, and since his showtime deal) has left his fans waiting to find out who he is fighting?

    I'd say later today or tomorrow. I have an uneasy feeling with this fight. Something overly staged about the whole thing. Will Money and Manny fight or spar?

    2 questions.

    1) What channel do ye think this fight will be on.
    2) Is Boxnation worth getting anyway.

    I think Sky may push the boat out for this one and take it.

    BoxNation is worth getting. Great channel. A lot of fight cards.

    BT Sport are players & could make a massive bid for this fight.
