^^^^ I more find it funny u didnt post the movie yourself. Like u didnt want people on here to see it. I mean you post everything else. I never knew it existed till someone posted it on another board
Why in the world would that be funny? When have I ever posted ANY Filipino content? I don't watch Filipino movies man, let alone shitty low budget ones. Never knew that video existed either (it's a low budget made for Philippine TV quality movie, how on earth would I know about it?)

Also everyone makes him out to be so likeable it makes me want to puke.
Sounds like you have some other personal issues going on here.

this fight is 11 days away and people still can't buy tickets? WTF is mayweather promotions doing? Oscar de la hoya just tweeted if you send him a picture of you and your mayweather vs pacquiao ticket he'll send you via plane to the Canelo vs Kirkland fight all expenses paid. Because he knows no one has tickets lol. Bob Arum about to blow a gasket past couple weeks, I just don't understand how unorganized the richest fight in history is. 11 days no tickets! The really should have let top rank handle this stuff or at least some kind of neutral 3rd party, but this was one of Floyd's demands.

Isn't he a likable guy though? What am I missing. ffs the guy is afraid to fire people around him. Floyd should be the one to make you puke with his domestic violence cases, battery etc.

Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao contract still not signed
By Darren Rovell
ESPN.com

Eleven days before the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, an actual contract for the bout to take place at the MGM Grand still has not been signed.

Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN.com on Tuesday that he wasn't signing the contract that he received a draft of on April 15 because it wasn't what he agreed to when the MGM, Mayweather Promotions and he signed the term sheet a couple months ago.

"We agreed that we would all be signatories on the final contract and then they sent us a draft of the agreement and it excluded us," said Arum, who promotes Pacquiao.

Pacquiao/Mayweather
Though eleven days away, the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao is still without a signed contract.

Not being a signatory to the contract means that Top Rank wouldn't have control of decisions during the fight, including in-arena production, video content and music.

"They don't want us to have any say," Arum said. "So whether they came up with the deal between Mayweather and MGM before or after our agreement, they've committed fraud either way. That's what we're enmeshed in."

Leonard Ellerbe, CEO of Mayweather Promotions, disagreed with Arum's characterization of the original deal.

"The bottom line is that Bob isn't willing to live with the agreement signed a couple months ago, which doesn't allow him to be in control," Ellerbe said. "The only conspiracy, in my opinion, exists with him trying to conspire with his lawyers to change the terms of the agreement. I assure you that nothing underhanded is going on and the reference to this back alley stuff is ridiculous."

The only hint to the actual term sheet was posted on Manny Pacquiao's Facebook page on the day it was signed in February. Pacquiao posted the first page of the term sheet before deleting it, but not before it was screengrabbed.


While the page of the term sheet does say that Mayweather and Top Rank will "jointly own and promote the event," it also names Mayweather as lead promoter and "sole negotiator" of the deal with MGM.

Without a signed agreement, a single ticket still has not been printed and tickets to the closed circuit viewing of the fight at MGM Hotels also have not gone on sale. A source with knowledge of the talks said that MGM proposed on Tuesday to be allowed to start selling the closed circuit tickets and any public tickets to fight immediately, with everything else frozen as talks proceed.

A spokesman for MGM didn't immediately return messages.

"Tickets for a fight like this are often available months out," said a high ranking executive in the ticketing business, who requested anonymity. "Distributing this many tickets in this short amount of time is already a nightmare. With physical tickets, there's going to have people worth millions waiting on long lines just to get what they were promised."

Last week, Pacquiao's manager, Michael Koncz, told the Associated Press that the term sheet wasn't being signed by Mayweather's camp because, he guessed, they were looking for more tickets.

"I can only surmise the motivation is greed and an attempt to manipulate the tickets, otherwise why the holdup?" Koncz said.

But a source familiar with the negotiations said the allotment of tickets is pretty clear with MGM getting 40 percent of the tickets and the two promoters splitting 25 percent each.

Arum says he's not signing the deal until Top Rank gets named as a signatory on the agreement.

"They can't act like our original agreement doesn't exist," Arum said.

Ellerbe called Arum holding up the signing "typical Bob."

"This kind of behavior is one of the main reasons why Mr. Mayweather decided to move on with his own career and become vastly successful and make hundreds of millions of dollars on his own," Ellerbe said, alluding to Mayweather leaving Top Rank in 2006 to become his own promoter. "Bob wants to be the focal point of everything and create controversy that doesn't exist."

When asked if he thought the fight was going to happen, Arum said he thought it would.

"MGM is licensed by the gaming commission," Arum said. "They can't do this type of subterfuge and keep their license. If they don't do anything, the governor will step in and make this fight happen."

Said Ellerbe: "Despite all of this, I'm confident the world will get to see the fight they've been waiting for."

Fans sure hope so. Some have paid more than $1,000 a night for hotels in Vegas on fight night, while others have already paid $99.95 to order the fight through their cable provider.

Oscar De La Hoya blames Mayweather camp for megafight ticket snafu

Another day has passed without any word of when – or even if – tickets will go on sale for the Floyd Mayeather-Manny Pacquiao fight that is scheduled for May 2 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Hall of Famer Oscar De La Hoya, who fought Mayweather in 2007 in the top-selling pay-per-view event of all-time and whose company, Golden Boy Promotions, promoted all of Mayweather's fights between 2007 and 2014, was asked his reaction to the fact tickets haven't been put on sale yet.

He didn't pull any punches. He put the onus on Mayweather adviser Al Haymon and took a none-too-subtle zing at Mayweather Promotions.

"We promoted Mayweather's last 10 fights, I believe," De La Hoya told Yahoo Sports. "The promotions all were great. Everything was smooth. We never came across any problems whatsoever. This is mind-boggling. This is shocking, but at the same time, we understand what is going on. This is the Al factor. This is what you get when you deal with Al."

In making those comments, De La Hoya strongly backed Top Rank CEO Bob Arum, who has repeatedly said Haymon is at the root of the problem. Arum recently told Yahoo Sports he believes the delay is "a ticket play" by Haymon.

De La Hoya, who once was promoted by Arum, had a long-standing feud with him, which was patched up last year. Now, Haymon has become Public Enemy No. 1 with both men.

"I agree 100 percent with what Arum is saying, absolutely," De La Hoya said, without being more specific.

The only thing I can gather is if this isn't ineptitude by the advisor...then they are about to drive up the price until it touches the bottom end of the moon. Arum himself said he was offered something like $100K for a ticket on a youtube interview. For all we know Arum is part of the "ticket gate" fiasco and playing his part as the whistle blower. Trust no one when it comes to the boxing business...everybody lies.

The crazy thing is that those tickets are actually going to have buyers willing to pay.

I see ads on craigslist with people charging $600 to watch it at their place, nice backyard, catered food, etc.

I'll be at home watching with my $7 whole chicken from Juan's Taco's and a cup of crystal light with crushed ice, having a great time.
