Heh... so now Mayweather and Pacquiao are going to put off their fight again and collect money fighting nobodies..again? - stewie Jul 18, 07:30 21
- As sure as we all are that Hobbit gets made I was sure the Mayweather/Pacquiao fight was going to happen this time... - Mel Profit Jul 18, 08:03 4
  - They'll fight... then they'll kiss and make up and say they are both champions - stewie Jul 18, 08:11 3
    - I was sure the fight was going to happen...now I'm only 95% sure it happens. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 18, 08:14 2
      - I'm growing more and more confident that it never happens. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 18, 08:23 1
        
        *ding* -- nm - Black Rabbit Jul 18, 08:46
- No - Mayweather is running from Pacquiao. -- nm - Diva Jul 18, 07:39
- This one is entirely on Mayweather. Pacquiao agreed to pretty much all the conditions that Mayweather used to duck the last time. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:32 14
  - and then put him in a corner by making the offer time limited. - tRuMaN at home Jul 18, 07:36 7
    - He had weeks as an exclusive. Everyone in boxing knows when you get prime PPV dates, you need a fight. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:53
    - Mayweather's had years to figure this out. He doesn't want this fight because he doesn't want to lose. Ever. - Diva Jul 18, 07:42 5
      - That doesn't make sense in the context of this situation... being undefeated having ducked Pacquiao taints you forever - stewie Jul 18, 07:44 3
        
        I hope they fight. But Mayweather's marketability is heavily tied into the 'undefeated' tag. - Diva Jul 18, 07:52 2
        
        You say his name now and the first thing anyone says is... "coward" - stewie Jul 18, 07:58 1
        
        Until the man on the street actually says it, it means nothing - Will Hunting Jul 18, 08:00
      - possibly. -- nm - tRuMaN at home Jul 18, 07:43
  - So a good guy and a bad guy has been created via the media... that won't help sell the fight when it happens or anything - stewie Jul 18, 07:35 5
    - It's good to see you thinking again. -- nm - TFox Jul 18, 10:07
    - Oh, we agree it's a con. You just think both are in on it; the only con I see if Mayweather. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:55 3
      - that's exactly what he'll do. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 18, 07:56 2
        
        What the tool doesn't understand is you can be considered the best with losses. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:58 1
        
        absolutely true... - Mel Profit Jul 18, 08:06

- what about Toy Story 3? I still need to see it - and from all the hints - I've heard it's good and will give me a cathartic cry at the end. -- nm - JenBro Jul 17, 22:35 6

- this would be the best i could come up with -- nm - cardboard action hero Jul 17, 22:26 19
  - I'll keep that in mind when I watch it ... avoiding spoilers is tough on the boards here - so tempting to click some of the posts. -- nm - JenBro Jul 17, 22:27 18
    - Don't listen to chuckles. He's managed to miss the entire point of the film. -- nm - TWuG Jul 17, 22:30 16
      - i get the point. how could i miss it - chuckles Jul 17, 22:33 15

        . . . or IS HE?!! - Chris Nolan Jul 18, 10:53
        
        I'm confused, your main gripe was that it didn't spoon feed you the ending, and now you are saying it was hammered in a million times? make up mind! -- nm - Gwaahjo Jul 18, 07:09 10
        
        no, that the ending is just a cheap twist for the sake of having a twist - chuckles Jul 18, 08:05 9
