Comments Thread For: Arum: If Pacquiao Looks Good, Mayweather Bout Can Happen

[WESS]

I don't get this Pacquiao looking good crap. Isn't that essentially why Floyd avoided the fighter of the decade? Floyd had admitted in a thousand occasions that Pacquiao is too good to be real. That's why he demanded extra testing for the first time in his career. He was saying that you can only be that good if you're cheating. He's saying Pacman is that good.

Fact that he calls himself Money Mayweather and a smart businessman and his own boss, yet avoided the biggest money fight of this generation. What more do you need to know?

Money aside, Money Mayweather doesn't even regard it as an opportunity to prove himself, or do it for the the fans or for the spirit of the sport. NOTHING can motivate this guy to fight the superstar of boxing.

Guys, this is not rocket science. Come on.

May 2010 huh? That was around the time Pac wouldn't even fight "too good" Mosley. Let alone Mayweather who by Roach's terms must be "too great".

Your post is full of holes. Especially when I can destroy the entire thing with one simple sentence. It goes a little like this; Pac for the first time in 4 years has finally submitted to blood testing. Cut scene.

Sorry to kill your logic and reasoning for wanting to blame Mayweather for everything. I just felt bad for you and the simplicity of your post in which you think Pac for some reason has agreed and been testing all these years.

Ouch, must be a slap in the face for you to hear Pac speak about how Floyd's demands of blood testing being great for the sport. Did Pac actually copy what Floyd had said years ago? Hey, at least Pac finally agreed, huh pal? lol Talk about ****ting in the face of boxing to wait 4 years to finally submit to testing.

Reaching there aren't we?? His issue was with Pac moving up the ranks, and with his speed and seemingly more power at each weight.

That's why he demanded extra testing for the first time in his career. He was saying that you can only be that good if you're cheating. He's saying Pacman is that good.

Again, that ain't it. He said that you don't go from "ordinary to extraordinary". That is a big difference from what you are saying.

Fact that he calls himself Money Mayweather and a smart businessman and his own boss, yet avoided the biggest money fight of this generation. What more do you need to know?

How about the fact that Floyd did try to make the fight 2x previously but Pac was the one that declined. The second time, he didn't even try to use that as a starting point for negotiating, he just hung up. You should also know that Floyd has a huge ego and feels like he will do things when HE decides, not when anyone else does. Lastly you should know that he don't wanna work with Arum. Look at how fast the Cotto fight got made after Cotto left Top Rank. If I had to guess, IF Pac doesn't go do something ******..AGAIN, like extend with Top Rank, then the fight will get made early May 2015 after his current contract expires.

Money aside, Money Mayweather doesn't even regard it as an opportunity to prove himself, or do it for the the fans or for the spirit of the sport. NOTHING can motivate this guy to fight the superstar of boxing.

Ego again. He already feels that he has done what he needs to prove he is one of the greats. How can he fight himself??

Guys, this is not rocket science. Come on.

If you are insinuating that Floyd is afraid of Manny, then I guess to you, it is!

Floyd spastics still crying in here are they?

We are never privy to actual fight meetings, thus we are spoon fed exactly what each entity would have us believe. One group feels the fight has not been made because of Mayweather, another, Manny (usually based on which fighter you like). At the end of the day, fighters fight and if that's not happening, someone outside of the ring is the culprit. This is the sad reality of the current state of boxing. I don't think for one moment that Floyd or Manny afraid to fight each other.

^ This, exactly.
I always found it funny when people were quick to assume that any fighter is scared of another. If you're a fighter yourself, whether in boxing, kickboxing, MMA, or anything else where you train 6 days a week for 4-5 hours a day in order to compete in official or unofficial organized combat, then you'd realize how silly it is to assume a fighter is afraid of another. That sort of stuff is a rarity. People are just quick to assume what they themselves possess within themselves. In other words, projection. They either consciously or subconsciously know that their reaction would be fear in that situation, thus they assume everyone else would be the same. Basic human psychology.

I never once thought for a moment that either were scared of the other. The fear of failure or losing is a different issue, and I think for this particular matchup, both were supremely confident they would come out victorious, Pacquiao for his own reasons, and Mayweather for his own reasons.

Manny Pacquiao is in a fight where he needs to win and look good doing it or his career done. Mayweather is beating fighters at 147 and 154 (Canelo at 152) Manny won't even fight a legit 147 LB'er but yet Floyd has been ducking him? Dude couldn't stop two broke feet Bradley and couldn't even beat Marquez who he fought 4 times, had weight, experience at 147 and age on his side but still got KO'd cold. Manny ain't even fighting top WW's or guys winning but yet he is a legacy cementer for Mayweather? I think everyone's starting to wake up. Manny was marketed and hyped up to be Mayweather's toughest fight but yet Bob Arum states that unless Manny looks spectacular he can't fight Mayweather. Pacquiao fans are ridiculous and delusional.

We all want to see the fight but Arum don't want to make it happen. Ariza and his nemesis Roach have went on record to state this. Even Arum has said the very same in the past. Only JACK ASSES believe Floyd is ducking Pacquiao. "Random blood testing is good for boxing" rewind 4 years ago "Floyd ain't the boss. Let the commission do their job". Manny Pacquiao the mighty duck.
