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

[LeadUppercut]

Pac is not this ignorant fighter who blindly follows his promoter, it's a fake image. He was ready to walk out of the negotiations with Oscar and Hatton because he wasn't happy with the money split. That proves he understands the boxing business and is the one who makes the final decision, not Arum.

Wurd...........

So nothing has changed really.

Some of you are so ******, seriously. Bob Arum WORKS FOR MANNY PACQUIAO. BOB ARUM doesn't force Pacquiao to fight ANYONE. Pacquiao has the final say ALL THE TIME, BOTTOM LINE.

Pacquiao is a FAKE FIGHTER. Fake image, fake story, fake skills, everything is fake. His praying 10x before and after the fight is FAKE. Pacquiao doesn't want Mayweather because deep down as a fighter he knows he stands no chance. The pressure is all on Pacquiao....he knows he iwll let down a ton of his countrymen when he gets embarassed by Floyd.

that's how a man goes about his business!!
floyd should take notes.

Uhh Floyd wants the fight, what the **** are you on about?

[LeadUppercut]

Raheem?! Zahir Raheem??? The same Raheem that lost to Rocky Juarez and Popo Frietas?? Top lightweight?

Your an idiot. I'm probably a bigger Mayweather fan than Pacquiao but in the past couple years Manny has had the far more impressive resume at Welter.

Don't be absurd.

Manny has only ever fought 2 welters at 147, one was an old man, and the other was a bum..... neither were ranked higher than 4, and neither should have been ranked in the top 5.

Pac blatantly ducked the #3 welter, and he ducked the #1 welter TWICE !!

Mayweather just fought his THIRD CONSECUTIVE OPPONENT that Manny had already ducked..... in his last 2 fights he fought the #1 welter, and he fought the #3 welter...... Pac has NEVER fought anyone ranked that high at 147.

You are dreaming dude.

What is the weather like in Pac-land today ?

And yes, Pac should have fought the winner Raheem, not the loser Morales.

Pac wanting to fight floyd has never been in question. He held a press conference right after the Marquez fight and sent Koncz halfway across the globe to mayweather gym when he himself was there.

There is only one person holding this fight up and he looks like very similar to this

I look forward to the day Floyd demolishes Pac to see what excuse you come up with

[John Barron]

I look forward to the day Floyd demolishes Pac to see what excuse you come up with

"i was just posing as ******* to get points PLEASE BELIEVE ME!!!"

[Someone88]

I look forward to the day Floyd demolishes Pac to see what excuse you come up with

Mayweather hasn't really demolished anyone since Hatton, he was dominating Ortiz but still not near that. Pacquiao is more likely to demolish Mayweather

The balls in Floyds court bottom line!!!!!!!!!

LMAO at This article that dont show everything here u go guys, read it cuz pac is still bleeding from his true gash if u know what i mean

“I‘ve said this over and over before and I’m saying this again,I want Floyd Mayweather Jr. to be my next opponent and I haven’t changed my choice despite recent developments.?br />
Thus World Boxing Organization welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao declared by way of reacting to reports in media partly blaming him should the projected mega-fight not materialize.

“I am meeting with my promoter, Bob Arum on Tuesday and I will insist that the fight with Mayweather be given the preference than the four others in the list I will fight next,?Pacquiao told this writer in Tagalog in a long distance telephone conversation yesterday from General Santos City.

Asked where and what time his meeting with Arum, will be held, except to say that the American Hall of Fame promoter is arriving today .

“It’s not really fair for some quarters to blame me if, in the long run, the fight wouldn’t push through,?the 33-year-old RING ****ZINE pound-for-pound best quipped. “As I have also been saying many times before, I fight for the fans. I want the fans to be happy always.?br />
“Whoever the fans want me to fight, I will face him atop the ring. I don’t choose fight. It is my promoter who does because it’s his job. My job is to fight, everybody must realize that,?Pacquiao, a lawmaker, a singer, movie actor, television host and a columnist, emphasized.

“Whoever says I’m ducking this fighter or that fighter, doesn’t know me, or just plainly wants to put me in bad light,?he surmised. “I never dodged from fighting anybody. If I did, I won’t be where I am now.?br />
The Pacquiao-Mayweather confrontation, the fight all of the boxing world wants to see, looked to have cleared of the impediments that aborted previous tries for it to materialize after Nevada Justice of the Peace Judge Melissa Saragosa deferred the unbeaten American welterweight 90-day incarceration she herself handed down shortly before year 2011 ended.
Statements coming from Arum though beclouded its realization in May as Mayweratherr himself wants leading every Tom, **** and Harry to finger-pointing and blaming all those concerned, including the eight-division kingpin. The Harvard graduate Arum wants the Pacquiao-Mayweather showdown held in November instead.

One of the arguments Arum advanced was that since the fight could be biggest in the history of boxing in terms of economics, he wants the fight held in a bigger arena he’s proposing to be constructed in the sing city of Las Vegas rather than the MGM Grand the World Boxing 147-pound belt holder had, in fact, reserved.

“After we’ve met, there will be negotiations between my promoters and his counterpart in whoever I’m going to fight. And you and I know that many things can happen in a negotiation,?he related. “If we agree that I will face Mayweather, then my promoter will talk to his counterpart in the Mayweather camp.?br />
“When Arum sits in the negotiation table, he will be laying on the table all the conditions we want, which , everybody knew already are simple. That I will abide by his demand for drug testing. I am even agreeable to get lesser purse just so the fight would push through,?he recalled. “In other words, as far as my side is concerned, there will be no problem.?br />
“We know, too, that Mayweather has no promoter. He negotiates by himself. So if the fight won’t be realized, it’s no longer because of me,?Pacquiao said.
