OT: Mayweather isn't responding, Manny needs a response by this week or he has to move on

Ain't seen black this deep in Kimchi holes since Russell Simmons was ing Kimora Lee.

one side is running their mouth, desperate for a payday to pay off that 85million tax bill owed to the IRS and the other side is behind the scenes handling business.

That's absolute bull .

If PBF wanted that fight to get made, it would be signed and sealed tomorrow. PERIOD. That's why boxing is a third-tier sport, because "business issues" get in the way of fights.

You think Ali would have hid behind getting a bigger cut of the pay with a fight like this? Or ANY of the greatest champions?

PBF trollin' Spurstalk ...LOL at how salty fans on here are.

Literacy sure matters in boxing ...uhh huhh ...yep.

But I do hope they fight..

Everyone does. Except Floyd. And maybe, on some level, Roach.

I admit right now it looks questionable how bad he wants this fight. Both his fans and detractors admit PBF is about $ first. So if that is the case I dont think it's a stretch to say the money and TV deals are more of an issue than him being afraid.

But I am with you Cry ...as a true boxing fan, to see it on virtual life-support sucks.
I think PBF should work harder to make this fight ... but to say he is scared of Manny after what Marquez did to him is flimsy at best. PBF is a much better counter-puncher just not as hard a puncher as Marquez. The decision will be easy and the fight boring. Because PBF will oupoint him. And PBF haters will just about that ...

Then make the fight. If it's THAT easy, why would PBF be opposed to making an insane amount of money AND cementing his legacy?

There are 0 reasons PBF could use right now that make sense not to take this fight, other than I won't get paid enough . Which is weak bull that no other fighter would ever EVER use as an excuse.

I agree with the spirit of what you are saying but PBF is not the only fighter that put $ first. To say otherwise is naive, Cry. Yes, we admire and prefer the take all comers anytime anywhere bravado of some fighters. But PBF is not the first or last to care about image, marketing etc over just showing they are the best at something. Silly example, but Lebron is often times critiqued for never doing the dunk contest. YOu can say it doesnt really matter and I would agree. But his critics argue he was scared of losing and how it would hurt his image etc. is that more important than a ring? No. but just saying he could have ended that talk, talk that he even sparked himself for like 5 straight ASG by just competing. He did not. There are plenty of boxing examples of fights that never get made by lessor known boxers.

its not that easy, fam. this is the biggest fight in the history of boxing, moneywise. two fighters who fight on seperate networks. there are tv and ppv deals that need to be agreed upon and that is out of the fighters hands.

this is bigger than just what manny and floyd want.

[Trill Clinton]

i posted an article that confirmed HBO is holding up the negotians because they want the rights to replay the fight on their network.

False equivalency. A dunk contest has nothing to do at all with winning a championship or cementing a legacy. It's a complete exhibition. No one is going to talk about the dunk contest in LeBron's legacy because it has no bearing.

This is the polar opposite of that.

Right, yes, and I'm sure those networks are just DYING to find reasons not to make a half a billion dollar fight happen.

I forgot Manny was a tax cheat. Definitely a steroid cheat as well.

[Clipper Nation]

salty because Manny actually made a power move

You can't make a power move when you have zero leverage, Philo.

clearly a power move since he's making Mayrunner look like a

The only people who think Floyd looks like a are people who already blindly hated him anyway, tbh. Anyone who knows boxing knows that Floyd is far from a while Manny is a washed-up cheat.

Even Stephen A Smith thinks Gayrunner looks like a pussy lol, you are delusional

[Blizzardwizard]

Mayweather avoiding as always

[Big Empty]

Mayweather is scared to fight Manny. It would be signed by now has nothing to do with the networks. Mayweather knows this is the one fighter that can deliver that first loss. It will be remembered they way Roberto Durans no mas is remembered.

[The Gemini Method]

Gotta hand it to Chun Lee Nation--she's a feisty when it comes to her black dudes. Defends them to the teeth with all she got.

[Blizzardwizard]

Mayweather's ass is so scared he's dodging both Khan and Paq at the same time!

Such a cheat that mayweather settled out of court over it.

So has Mayweather gotten past the first page of their proposed fight contract? This thread has two pages now, he might want to speed up his readi........ oh wait he's ing illiterate

Ain't seen black this deep in Kimchi holes since Russell Simmons was ing Kimora Lee.
