Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Ready: I Will Tell Arum I Want Mayweather Next!

[COACH WEBB]

Stay on topic brah.. I asked u when did Floyd call manny out who gives a phuck what Dan, bam or Sam have to say. U said Floyd called manny out and I asked u when did that happen. Saying may 5th is when I return have nothing to do with saying he wants PAC.

Go do your own research on the matter. It's out there.

Great to hear him finally speak up, but honestly, i don't think it really matters what Pac says.

[PACsmash]

if you come back spinning this into "HE DIDNT SAY MANNY SPECIFICALLY" or some other bull**** then youre obviously trolling

A 9min long vid again with Floyd saying he's returning on may 5th means he's calling PAC out but yet PAC saying he's gonna tell arum he wants Floyd next is bs??? ***** give me my 30sec back that I wasted by watching a bunch of people talking over eachothers. Smfh!!

Why are people in a hurry for FMJ to humiliate MP, if MP couldn't handle JMM. I'm not a fan of FMJ, so to me it doens't matter if he win or looses, but i do know that FMJ will beat MP. Don't take this personal its just my opinion.

It's not about people wanting to see Floyd or Manny humiliated. It's about two boxers who are regarded as the best in their division fighting each other. That's what people are in a hurry to see!

Cong**** Manny, this is the first step, it has to happen May 5th period, Manny knows it.

He has multiple videos on fight hype where he calls him out...even showing his gear that he had for the fight when the first negotiations failed.

As for the article, im not surprised one bit...Manny is a fighter and I have no doubt that he wants to fight floyd but arum doesnt see this as a fight as a fan. He sees it as a the biggest money making fight in the history of the sport, and although we would all love for Arum to meet with Manny and say they have agreed to fight floyd, it is not going to happen. I do feel they will fight eventually but it will not happen on May 5th. (i hope im wrong) There is too much to do in so little time. Fighting in Vegas is a must and the venue is just not there right now. If the fight happens at the MGM they will leave millions of dollars on the table. All im saying is having Manny say "i want mayweather" gets everyone excited but in reality changes nothing (no fight in may have to wait for Nov or Dec)

The thing is, it's too easy for him to make a real statement if he really wants the fight. There's no need for anyone to have to try to read into what he's saying. ESPN (full of Floyd haters) would gladly broadcast Manny agreeing to fight Floyd on May 5th.

You're absolutely right. You also have to consider the fact that Arum is the most powerful Promoter in boxign right now and a spin master. I'm sure he'll feed Pacquiao some BS, just like he's doing to the media right now. Hopefully Pacquiao can be forceful enough that it won't matter what Arum says.

Arum will tell Manny that Floyd has already chosen somebody else. If not that he'll convince Manny that it's not in his best interest because MGM doesn't hold enough people. He'll come up with something IF Manny actually insists that he wants Floyd next.

WBO welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao is set to have a meeting with his promoter, Bob Arum of Top Rank, and adviser Michael Koncz, in the next few days in the Philippines. Arum will present a list with four potential opponents for Pacquiao's next fight, including Miguel Cotto, Lamont Peterson, Timothy Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez.

I giggled as I read this tripe, it's truly laughable. Mayweather is not going to be Manny Pacquiao's next opponent, regardless of what Pacquiao allegedly said or thinks or dreams about. One person is making the decision here and the decision has been made by the man that wears the pants in the relationship, Bob Arum.

It's amazingly entertaining reading posts by people that think Manny actually thinks for himself or would have the wherewithal to direct Bob Arum to do anything. That doesn't fit with the man that to date, has sat passively back while his promoter called all the shots.

It'll be one of those four names and Floyd will continue to be the elusive dream fight that never happens.

What's going to be Arums excuse now? He's full of it. You can easily read between the lines of Pacquiaos statements. He, in oh so many words, sad "Yes, I've heard the rumors around the world that my promoter is making me look like a scared little girl, so let me make it clear to the world that I am not a scared little girl, who is ready to fight Mayweather now"

Bravo Manny! I applaud you grabbing the quintessential bull by the horns and making this right! Bravo! Arum was prepared to do the hussle, shuffle, and moonwalk to avoid saying these simple words "Yes, Manny will be ready for Floyd on May 5th"

We should hear the announcement of this fight in a few days and its about dam time!
