Disgraceful. Fight fans are leaving boxing in droves for MMA and it's stupid stuff like this that is the reason why.

No offence but I think the activity in this thread speaks to the general amount of interest in boxing!

Or just that this story has been discussed to such a great length for years, people are just sick of it. Make no doubt about it, if this fight ever happens, it will be a 1000x bigger then any UFC fight.

I like boxing but there is no way that it will be 1000x bigger.

And the fact that one of the biggest fights of all time being better than a random UFC fight is being pimped as some sort of great thing and about the only thing boxing has going for it says about all anyone needs to know about the state of boxing.

Agreed, and I like boxing too. MMA has completely taken you over, you have the 2 greatest fighters (and biggest names) in your sport in the same weight class, which would be one of the highest TV revenue #'s ever and get your sport some badly-needed attention, and you're not gonna make them fight?? Really?!? Just ridiculous. This is why I don't feel sorry for boxing. They're doing it to themselves.

Another excuse by Mayweather in not fighting Pacquiao. He is claiming Manny is so desperately wanted to fight him because of Manny's tax problem in the US and Philippines. Mayweather don't want to have part of it.

Give me a break Mayweather!! What is your excuse next?? Both Manny and Mayweather are getting old and we don't want to see them fight when they are in their 40's.

The only person who can beat Mayweather is Andre Ward and that fights not going to happen.

For those who didn't see that cocky ssssh Adrien Broner vs Marcos Maidana..WATCH IT!

^^lol saw that earlier today..so true. Pacman isn't going to get that big payday no more if the fight ever happens. Pretty sure Mayweather's taking on Khan next in May.
