Does anyone really believe this fight will not happen? Way to much money involved on both sides for it to just go away!

I never believed it would happen. Hey, Floyd used what he could find to kill this fight. Now, its dead and floyd is gonna move on and fight a really great fighter, Paul Malignaggi. If Floyd don't fight Mosley, Bradleyor Pacman, then he better find someone worth us suckers paying 60 bucks to watch it. And how does Floyd let 30 million slip away when he supposedly owes all this money to the the american terrorist organisation, the IRS?

Martin Wade's whole article is very interesting and profound. He noted how we underestimate
how insulted Pacquiao is by the accusations of PED use started by Mayweather Sr.Anybody who does not accept random blood testing to prove he is not a PED user must be hiding something. Pacquiao refused and lost a $ 40 million payday. We can not accept any reason
for this because we believe everybody in this country has a price tag. We can not imagine
somebody, especially a boxer, can be that principled. We live in cynical times indeed !!!!
I, for one, hope Pacquiao gets vindicated and rewarded for standing up for his principles.

Great article by Martin Wade.
Philippines is generally a poor country, but the people live by the honor code. Let me explain:
They generally live where they are born. They know the nieghbors well, and more often than not are related to their neighbors. Even while poor, the concept is basically, "thou shalt not shame the family's name/honor". So people try to fit into their neighborhoods, where they know everybody.
Basically, when you insult a Filipino, you have an enemy for life, and the inverse is also thru. You treat a Filipino well, and you have a friend for life.
The American concept of trash talking, without getting personal is foreign to Filipinos. You insult somebody, be prepare to fight/die.
So we have PBF, raised in an in your face, trash talking culture as opposed to Pacquiao, raised in an environment where you try to fit into your community with the intent of NOT shaming your family's honor.
So Team Mayweather starts unfounded rumors/allegations against Pac, yet at the end of the day, they expect Manny Pacquiao to agree to a fight because there's too much money involved? Manny would do everything in his power to NOT HAVE PBF make money off him, unless of course there's wholesale apologies from Team Mayweather.
Trust me folks, that $40 million bucks he can earn from fighting Mayweather is the LAST thing in Manny's mind.
If he ends up fighting PBF, it's because he's gotten HIS GOOD NAME back.
Peace
