Comments Thread For: Mayweather Will Face Pacquiao if He Leaves Top Rank

[rasdun]

is this a joke - criticizing Pac for fighting a "lightweight" when Mayweather just did the same thing in May vs guererro - no, sorry, he is a featherwt. see where im going - then that makes floyd a lightwt too. that's the dumbest thing you could say - just bc guys fought at prior weightclasses means nothing.
also, pls, May had just as many opps to make the fight. I love how floyd fans still talk about manny turning a 40 mil offer for a 300 mil fight, like that was a bad decision.
what a joke

Pac won't leave uncle Bob. Bob probably has him under contract until he retires and then some.

However Pac had plenty of chances to fight Floyd. Now Pac's basically irrelevant and fighting in China vs a LW.

At the end of the day he doesn't have any leverage left at this point. KO'ing a LW in his next fight or being KO'ed by a LW in his last fight doesn't get you very far. Especially when the fights are at WW.

Asking for a 50-50 split or anything close in 2013 as if it was 2009-2010 right before the Clottey fight is just a joke. Pac could have made the fight but wanted Clottey more for a lot less.. Now he probably won't even get a $40 million offer.. Which would be a career high. Floyd wants to sign him and be Pac's new Bob Arum.. smh

oh and another great quote by you - Pac is basically irrelevant - even though floyd cant stop talking about him on his press tours, and he gets 1 mil PPV buys per fight, and it's STILL the fight everyone wants floyd to take. OK? delusional

It really has gotten personal between these two. Mayweather's at the point he really wants to demoralize Pac its mean spirited and hilarious at the same time

The difference is, Guerreo (regardless of what you think of him) had previously fought at WW.

However Floyd fought JMM who hadn't fought at WW, which is EXACTLY why Pac wanted the same beaten JMM at WW.. Not to mention Bradley and now Rios. How many fights combined have JMM, Bradley and Rios had at WW?

Reasons why Mayweather won't fight Pacquiao:

1. take blood test
2. 24 day RBT, then 14 day RBT, then no cut off day
3. you have 2 losses
4. give me 100 mill
5. at 154lb
6. can't train in Philippines
7. test using only USADA
8. take less money
9. take 40 mill, no PPV
10. revenge your loss to Bradley, Marquez
11. leave Arum, retirement

Things keep adding up in the list. The guy just doesn't have any interest in fixing his ducking image. Forget about the fans. Forget about the sport. Forget about proving he can beat the Pacman. Forget about famous icons like Joe Frazier, Angelo Dundee, bless their souls, for not living long enough to see the fight. Forget about Mandela who is about to leave this earth.

The guy is the biggest joke in boxing.

Floyd never overlooks any opponent, evr... It's always the guy in front of him , his main concern.... I guess Canelo isn't much of a challenge if you can overlook him like that...Poor Canelo..lmao'

Why don't you just cry about it? lol I swear you little butt hurt fans are something else.. Little cry babies.. It's embarrassing that you watch the same sport as me..

Pacquiao was too much of a nice guy in 08-10 when the fight had all of the fever surrounding it, he should have called Floyd out more aggressively.

He's gonna make him leave Top Rank and them drop him on the spot.

Yeah, and FORD would take 10 grand for their new 2014 Shelby Mustang the benefits would be great for me as well.

However I live in the real world, where I deal in terms of what realistically is going to happen. What realistically is not going to happen is FORD isnt taking 10 grand, and Pacquiao isnt signing with Mayweather Promotions, and Floyd knows it.



And doesn't want Manny... clearly by that requirement. Thanks for agreeing.



I never said he was scared.... did I?

I said he doesn't care about the fight, doesn't want the fight... it doesn't matter to him. Which is clear by what he said.


It seems like you agree with me, but won't admit it because it somehow sheds a bit of negative light on Floyd if you agree that he doesn't want the fight. You came close in saying he doesn't need it. Really, he doesn't want it. If he DID want it, those requirements would not be made.

Does anyone really want the fight at this point? After the JMM 3 fight a lot of people stepped back and by the 4th is was a rap. Floyd knows if he beats Pac now everyone would just talk down Pac's career and how he was washed up/past his best.
