Floyd is Getting Forced to Take the Fight

I've just heard Floyd may be strong armed into taking the fight with Pacquiao by CBS's head honcho.

Moonves told the shosports boss to get the fight done or they will drop Haymon fighters from Showtime and HBO won't pick them up either.

Will Haymon risk his business to protect Floyd?

Moonves is not happy with Floyd as his poor PPV numbers have made Showtime lose money.

Made losses on all but the Canelo fight.

Maidana did very poor indeed

Fight of the century' tag is way over the top. Two great fighters 5 years past their peak is no fight of any century.
If you mean the last 15 years maybe that argument can be made but i remember leonard-hearns 1 and it totally blows these two out of the water for anticipation and spectacle. Sorry state of affairs for all those who put their money into supporting boxing whether on fight night or pay per view when the number 1 fight for fans could not get made for over 5 years. Cheating the public again .

Let's just accept that this fight will never happen. Ever.

WONT HAPPEN BECAUSE PACQUIAO KEEPS DUCKING

I'm convinced that Floyd would rather retire from boxing than fight Pacquiao next.

WELL YOUR A IDIOT

Floyd's even admitted that he's scared of Pacquiao. I have no problem with that as Pacquiao would be a nightmare fight for Floyd.

ANOTHER BARE FACED LIE

Floyd would struggle with southpaw Manny and his punching power and hand speed. He is right to be scared.

MANNY WOULD STRUGGLE WITH MAYWEATHER SKILLSET, DEFENCE, WIDE OPEN TO FLOYDS BEST PUNCH THE STRAIGHT RIGHT HAND. STRUGGLES WITH COUNTER PUNCHERS, ONE DIMENSIONAL. CANT DEAL WITH MARQUEZ WONT BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH FLOYD

What I can't stand is all this best ever sheite that Floyd comes out with. He's not even the best in his own era unless he fights and beats Pacquiao.

HE DOESNT NEED PACQUIAO HE ALREADY IS THE BEST IN THE ERA. WE SAW THAT WITH MARQUEZ BEATING PACMAN 4 TIMES

The best ever fighter was Sugar Ray Robinson and he lost plenty of fights in his career.

YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SRR

Floyd needs to understand that his current unbeaten stat really counts for so little in the grand scheme of things.

AND YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND YOUR A IDIOT WITH NO CLUE ABOUT BOXING

Hopefully everyone will apply pressure to Floyd forcing him to take the fight.

Floyd is going to have nightmares tonight.

They are forcing the fight on him, He just has to sign the contract before Saturday and it happens.

Nice to know Mayweather finally grew the bollox to go and confront Manny about the fight and now they might actually get somewhere.

Wonder why Manny never went and confronted Mayweather, surely he wasn't running scared

Floyd does know he can't take his 7ft 30 stone bodyguard with him in t the ring?

Maybe he is trying to negotiate that.

Health comes first

And yet he still got closer to Manny than Manny ever has done to Floyd, hmmmmmm.

Methinks he could be a bit scared.
