Closer? Manny and Floyd meet... again.

First topic message reminder :

"Hours after a public face-to-face meeting and brief
discussion during halftime of Tuesday night's Miami
Heat-Milwaukee Bucks game in Miami, Manny
Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather Jr. met privately
for more than an hour to continue discussing terms
for their proposed May 2 megafight."

Interesting news I suppose. First time they've ever met, now theyre having dinner dates in hotel rooms. Somewhat surprised by how passive Manny seems to be about his career, but given the c0ck up which Arum and his accountants have created with his taxes, completely oblivious to him.. maybe I shouldn't have been.

Only in America could you invent a sport, be the only ones to play it (pretty much) and announce the winners as "World Champions". Would rather stick hot pins down my japseye than sit through a sport played by men who have to wear more protection than your standard frontline army soldier.

It's a shame you don't play it...........Being a champion golfer, cricket player and the biggest babe puller in Britain....

Even more impressive... it's a status you've attained with the drawbacks of being crap at golf..crap at cricket and an ugly b**tard to boot !!

Kudos to you !!  You're a star !

I don't mind the American football in small doses. I lived in Seattle when I was a student and saw the odd college game.

What I can't cope with is the back slapping and celebrating when someone makes a tackle FFS!

Truss, you're from Massachusetts right? If you fancy a laugh check out Max Kellerman's meltdown on Twitter. He's been crying his eyes out about Patriots winning all day. He's not taking it well at all.

Should still be called the Boston patriots........

Whether it's Baseball, Football or bogie throwing the big one is always the Giants or the Yankees........

Hate eachother with a passion............Some people think it started because they screwed us over Babe Ruth.......But really it's bragging rights with our more "common" neighbors..

Unfortunately we were crap last year............So we ain't got much to brag about...

2013 World series was good though.....................

Being a champion golfer

PM for you Truss. Don't want to brag on the open forum

2013 World series was good though for a sport only we play. I only found out that there are other countries outside of America when I got on the wrong plane to England. It was such a weird experience, I mean I'm still struggling with this thing called "history" and "culture". .....................

Fixed that for you big Trussy.
