You couldn't trust Panama Lewis as far as you could throw the slippery bastard.

Another fighter he corned(Resto) said he put asthma pills in the water to open up fighters airways in the fight. Watch assault in the ring,its about the Resto-Collins fight.

Collins dad is as much to blame for not stopping the fight,he could see his son was fucked but threw him to the lions as he was the family meal ticket

Mayweather v Pacquiao May 2nd Vegas.

Not confirmed is it? Arum reckons he's agreed with Floyd's people before but Floyd himself wouldn't sign off on it.

 

What would the money be like for Mayweather compared to if he was fighting Khan or someone else? Obviously more people would buy PPV but he'll be giving away a higher percentage, no? If there's not a big difference I think he'll bullshit his way out of it again.

Yeah been meaning to do it for ages, the stars aligned for me last Friday night (kids and wife all in bed, beers in the fridge). Great fight but I was disappointed with watch I was watching with Pryor as I'd never heard or read it about him till this thread.

I was going to tell you how disappointed I was in you, Owen, but I couldn't figure out a way to phrase it without bitterly condemning that child of yours.

Granted, the tyrant Usher has dismantled crucial aspects of this thread, but you can still see some absolutely phenomenal fights if you work backwards. Would also recommend Pryor-Arguello HBO Legendary nights on Youtube.

Both of them are equally to blame. Manny was deffo on PED's, Manny flatly turned down $40m, even though he would always claim he wanted to fight Floyd for the fans etc.

 

The fact is neither camp pushed for it enough. Freddy Roach even blamed Pacquiao/Arum for it not happening.

 

Neither are remotely afraid of the other. But both are to blame for it not happening sooner, in my opinion.

Sam Watson saying Mayweather - Pacquiao almost done now too.

 

I'll be over in Vegas for this. Slim chance of getting a ticket, mind.

Do all you can in your power to get one mate (if it happens).

 

You can say you where there when...

Yeah, I know mate. Going on honeymoon. But we booked it over the first weekend in May to hopefully catch a Mayweather fight.

Cotto/Canelo is as big a fight as there is in the sport, I hope they agree terms and you get to go. Would be brilliant for the sport if Canelo wins a very competitive bout with a KO; a two-fisted, power punching young dynamo who, fights everyone, and happens to be the middleweight champion of the world is exactly what Boxing needs.

I can totally understand why he did that, it was a derisory offer. The fight would make £200 million easily on PPV alone. Manny accepting that would cut him out of the PPV sales, he'd basically be accepting about £25 million cash to fight Floyd, whilst Floyd pockets near £150 million based on worldwide PPV, ticket sales, image rights and every thing else. He'd of been a moron to accept that and rightfully at the time told Floyd 50/50.

It was a shite offer. But, Manny is as bad as Floyd for saying one thing and doing another. He says it's not about the money for him when it clearly is.
