Comments Thread For: Manny Pacquiao: I'll Fight Mayweather, The Fans Want It

[GRUSTLER]

yep... the article also says "i'll fight trollweather, the fans want it".

It didn't say nothing about Manny agreeing to 7 days or anything regarding the OST's in that article. Of course the fans want it but does Manny? Bob Arum keeps saying Floyd is their number one priority but he is always setting up fights for Pac in his Top Rank stable.

lack of foreknowledge is not the same as random.

Random - at random, without definite aim, purpose, method, or adherence to a prior arrangement; in a haphazard way

You are a joke. Please learn the meanings of basic words in the english language then try to debate.

edit - HAHAHAHAHA ive just read your re-definition of "RANDOM", you're an even bigger joke than i originally thought!!!!!

Is or is not a 7 day cut off better than the 14 day cut off offered in the 1st round of negotiations and aren't both better than the 18 dat cut off in the mosley/wifebeater fight?

A typically dishonest fan-boy approach from Pullcounter......

FACT: The fight fell through because Manny would not submit to random blood testing without a 24-day cutoff.....
//krikya360.com/pacquiao-...day-cut--27427

FACT: Manny has not agreed to a 7-day cutoff during an official negotiation, exactly the opposite in fact, he has never agreed to anything less than a 24-day cutoff during an official negotiation. Manny waited until he knew that Mayweather would not be fighting again, and then he "promised" to accept a 7 day cutoff, in a unofficial non-binding statement to the press

FACT: You guys are a joke for defending that rubbish

the guy who was ok with a 14 day cut off and had an 18 day cut off for his fight against mosley, but who now is unwilling to fight pac with a 7 day cut off.

Are you living in the real world? Why did pac come out AFTER the negotiations and say he was willing to do 14 days? Why didnt he agree to it when it was on the table? Pac is a joke, as are you.

Problem is Floyd Jr has brittle hands. The only official knockdown against him is when he hit Carlos Hernandez in the sixth round and he his hand was in so much pain it touched the canvas. Hitting a guy who can take big shots who won't stop coming and throwing is dangerous for a guy with brittle hands. The only guy I have ever seen continue to throw punches even with a broken hand was Arturo Gatti, a true warrior of the game. And Floyd would absolutely have no chance of beating him with one hand...

You mean Baldomir, right?

Good points, as always Slugger ... and Arturo Gatti (R.I.P) was a true warrior and a one of a kind, for sure.

It's easy to say that someone is "on" something, in order to explain away one's own insecurity. Captain insecurity can't for the life of him, fathom how he isn't the toast of the sporting world. Why he's on the outside looking in, and here you have a foreigner who is on every talk show, magazine cover, a feature story who has become a crossover superstar where he could not. He has one person to blame...HIMSELF. Going on 6 years now and he has avoided every tough match-up whether perceived or realistic, and it's been to his detriment. If he fought Pac tomorrow and it was a great fight, even if he lost, he will have elevated himself in the public's eyes, much in the same way that Holyfield was able to do in his first fight with Bowe. But captain insecurity would much rather pull the race card, label another fighter as a cheat than to see the truth in himself. That his life revolves around having never lost a fight, and if he lost it, he would be questioning himself for the rest of his life. Insecurity is a b*tch.

Long time, no see Switch. Good to see you back in the mix of things my friend.

the whole floyd extra testing is garbage.....why cant he just be satisfied with the commsion testing as he was in his 40 fights....and like evreyone else.....why the change of his original demand?......becuase he's tryin the fight to be harder and harder to make ....b1tchmove...

I just have one question. Anyone know where Floyd is?

He gets on ESPN and dodges questions about taking the fight. He opts for a "vacation" knowing that at some point he'll be forced into fighting someone with a pulse, so he decides "take more time off". Seems to me since 2005 he's become a master at the art of dodging.

No but we know where Pac went when it was time to put up or shut up....

Pacquiao and Mayweather had agreed to unlimited random urine testing, but Mayweather also insisted on random blood testing, even though the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which would oversee the bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, requires only urine testing.

Pacquiao (50-3-2, 38 KOs) didn't want blood testing but later relented and agreed to three blood tests: one during the week of the kickoff news conference, which would have taken place next week, one random test to be conducted no later than 30 days before the fight and a final test in his dressing room after the fight. Mayweather (40-0, 25 KOs) would be subject to the same testing procedures.

When they could not come to an agreement, Top Rank and Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Mayweather, turned to a mediator, retired judge Daniel Weinstein, who had successfully mediated a series of disputes between Top Rank and Golden Boy in 2007.

But after nine hours in mediation on Tuesday in Santa Monica, Calif., and further attempts to come to a resolution on Wednesday failed, the fight was pronounced dead by the Pacquiao camp.

How could Floyd be ducking a fight that could have happened already if it wasn't for Pac? If Pac would have just agreed to the demand in the first negotiation that he allegedly said he agreed to after in the questionable 2nd negotiation. We would have witnessed history sometime ago. Manny Pacquiao didn't want to fight. It's right there, logged into the history books of boxing.

I really don't see why people are struggling to understand this, Bob Arum/Top Rank and Pacquiao included. The man was told point blank that his fan(s) wants him to fight Pacquiao, his immediate response was 'I'm taking a coupld of years off'.

He's on record saying that he's not thinking about boxing, on vacation, and taking a couple of years off.

Why do we need 500-response threads debating pointlessly when one of the principals is saying he doesn't want to fight and is taking an extended vacation? Claims he didn't even bother trying to negotiate and make a fight happen last summer.

Again, the man was told POINT BLACK 'He [Your fan] wants you to fight Pacquiao' and he responded 'I'm taking a couple of years off', didn't even entertain the idea. I cannot stress this enough.

But no, don't mind me... fritter away more time pointlessly rehashing the same bull**** from 2009

Really? That's why Shane Mosley, a guy who got caught cheating took it?
That's what people do when they have nothing to hide. They show and prove.
Pac is all talk. Don't know if he is using or not but the talk about it far exceeds this website because at the end of the day. Not taking it, is a bad look.

This thread is a joke.

Manny killed the fight because he would not submit to random blood testing without a 24-day cutoff.....
//krikya360.com/pacquiao-...day-cut--27427

Then, after fighting Josh " the punching bag " Clottey, and then that bum cheato, Manny faces public condemnation for his next choice of opponent.

In the article that spawned this very thread, Manny stated that "it's not my fault, I don't pick my opponents".

Well, that was a total fkn lie according to Team Pacquiao.....
//krikya360.com/arum-pacq...e-deal---33435

So what does Manny do?

Oh yes, he addresses the issue by stating that "I will fight Mayweather, because the fan's want it"

Sure you will Manny, just sit down over there and we'll get the WADA testing documentation signed. Manny, Manny..... ****, where'd that guy go?

A total fkn joke.

Aside from the 147 demand for Marquez, and the possible PED advantage, I wonder what other advantages Manny will require before he agree's to fight JMM again?
