Other Sports Mayweather vs Pacquiao is almost a done deal - Page 7

This is awesome. This will be the perfect fight. Pacquiao's a quick and aggressive puncher and Mayweather's a defensive counter punching genius. In the end I think Pacquiao will pull it out.

Pacquiao set for Mayweather clash

Five-weight world champion Manny Pacquiao and unbeaten American Floyd Mayweather are set to meet on 13 March, according to the Filipino's promoter.

Michael Koncz, who is in charge of Pacquaio's promotional company, says the 30-year-old has agreed to a March proposal from promoter Bob Arum.

"We all believe that it will be done," Koncz told GMA television.

If the 'super fight' goes ahead, it will match the two men regarded as the world's best pound-for-pound fighters.

"Arum presented what he thought was the best proposal he can bring during a two-hour breakfast meeting with Pacquiao in Manila," added Koncz.

"Manny has some additional requirements, requests, which Arum didn't think was a problem.

"The requests of Manny were so realistic that Arum doesn't feel it's a problem and it's pretty much a done deal."

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach, who is preparing Britain's Amir Khan for his first WBA light-welterweight defence on Saturday, also confirmed the date.

"I talked to Arum and Manny is happy with that date and I can't wait to get started," Roach told Sky Sports.

"It will be the biggest fight of all time and Amir Khan will help us get ready for the fight with his speed a lot like Mayweather's."

But Roach confirmed that the fight was not a done deal but was closer to being finalised.

"There will always be negotiation and there are issues such as weight, but they can always be solved," added Roach.

"It is would be a tough fight and we will need to set some traps and work on some strategies. But it is a fight Manny wants, he is very confident he can beat Floyd."

Pacquiao last fought in November beating Miguel Cotto in Las Vegas. The Filipino stopped his Puerto Rican opponent in the 12th round of their WBO welterweight clash at the MGM Grand with a stunning display.

Mayweather, 32, returned to the ring for the first time in 21 months with a unanimous points victory over Juan Manuel Marquez in Las Vegas with a classy performance.

Pacquiao is running for a congressional seat in the May 2010 elections and official campaigning will not start before April, making the March date convenient for the Filipino.

No venue has been decided for the mega fight but representatives of the Superdome in New Orleans and the new Dallas Cowboys' stadium have expressed interest in hosting the fight, as has the MGM Grand hotel-casino in Las Vegas, where the pair have fought their biggest fights.

There is also a proposal for a 30,000-seater temporary stadium on the Las Vegas Strip across from the Wynn resort.

I have two friends who have committed to kicking in on the fight. Aside from that, I'm debating on how many people I want to have to deal with for it.

Setup an extra TV in the garage. Charge $10 a couple and send the people you don't like to the garage.

Pretty much. If it was a normal pay per view price maybe, but not for $100 when Pacman is likely on his decline.

I already know whats going to happen anyway:

Mayweather dances around the ring like a little bitch landing just enough weak blows to win by decision. I just saved you all $100, you're welcome.

Even if my heart aches, its nothing to me as long as people from my country show their smiles and felt happy.
I will fight the whole world for my country bringing your name
I'm a Pinoy. We are Pinoy
I will fight the world with my life at stake.
I will fight for all Filipino
Even us, has our own dreams for our country
To help fellow countrymen, and give pride for our very own country
It doesn't matter who you are. Poor or rich if for the country we all fight together.
I will fight the whole world for my country bringing your name
I'm a Pinoy. We are Pinoy.

I will fight for all Filipino
I will fight for my country.

Great ****ing fight

Blindside58 · 04-17-2015, 06:30 PM

I have to search around but I remember a fight when i was younger between Evander Holyfield and Michael Dokes that was awesome...I'm not even sure if it was cruiserweight or heavyweight at the time.

Yeah, I have seen that fight. Excellent.

I still like the Hagler/Hearnes fight. Both fighters in their prime and both decided to just stand in the middle of the ring and slug it out till someone falls.
