Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[jetgizo]

I think you are right. He hates Pacquiao ten times more than he hates Arum. He was thrilled that Marquez KOed him and he is happy that he has tax problems The $40 million telephone offer was just for show and total BS. If Pacquiao had said yes to that offer Mayweather would not have sent him a dime. He will never fight Pacquiao because he doesn't want to put even a dollar in Pacquiao's pocket. Arum is not the problem. If Pacquiao was with Golden Boy Floyd still would not fight him.

40 million guaranteed is a joke offer when at the time no fighter had ever been offered that? Manny was dumb to just snub his nose at it. He could've haggled to get maybe 4 or 5 million more out of Floyd. Or at the very least try to. Besides I didn't see any other fighters lining up to toss Manny 40 million did you?

true-you didn't use the specific word kill. but you did suggest manny would beat ruslan easy.

hello ****** and why would i say such a thing?? because ruslan WAS pac's sparring partner and roach ******** trains him. was pac ever one of floyd's sparring partner and does sr train pac also?? damm dunn u just out did urself trying to twist my words around to better suit u. desperate much?

and the only reason why i said phuck it if they want a sparring match then give them one is because of posters like u on that thread posting shiiet up like pac vs ruslan needs to happen thats why i said watch when pac vs ruslan gets announced the same poster is gonna do a 360 saying pac cherry picked ruslan, etc.

To offer 0% of the PPV revenue is an insult when Pacquiao - at the time - was producing extremely high numbers on PPV.

By the same token, no other fighters were lining up to offer Mayweather the same kind of money he'd make from a Pacquaio fight.

Floyd feels disrespected. With everything he's accomplished in the sport, he never agreed with Pacquiao even being in the same conversation as him. I think he does these verbal attacks on Pacquiao because of what the media makes him out to be. Ego can be the ruler of men. Floyd feels disrespected and won't forgive the fans and media by fighting Manny.

if u really believe its becaue floyd feels disrespected because the media puts pac in the same level as him, dammm how do u think pac must feel then with all the accusation and one dimensional????

ok. I didn't question why you said it nor did I twist anything. you feel manny beats ruslan easy. the other poster feels floyd beats manny easy. thats why you both want to see other fights.

I didn't say it needs to happen-I said I prefer it over tim/manny 2 because imo manny won by a wide margin. I don't use cherrypick so why would I switch my opinion on a fight?

the hell is wrong with u like seriously?? u choose to ignore why i think ruslan will be an easy fight for manny and choose to only take the "easy fight" part. did u not read why i feel ruslan will be an easy fight for manny??? can u please explain to me why u want ruslan vs pac so bad?? if this fight was to ever happen it will be at 147 and again pac will be making his opponent come up in weight, arent u so against this?? LOL!!

I'm not ignoring it nor did I criticize your rationale for saying its an easy fight for manny.

I dont want the fight so bad-its just a fresh fight that I havent see that gives me a reason to buy it.

I assume it will b at 147 or a CW. Yes, I have been critical of manny bringing fighters up to 147. At this point, its the only fresh fight on the table for manny right now. SO i'll take it.

SOrta like floyd/maidana. Is it the best fight-no, but its much better than the alternative.

Floyd and Pac are stronger willed men that I am, because there is no way that I could live thinking that I am the best fighter in the world, and there is a guy in my weight class that the about half of the world thinks would beat my ass (from either fighter's perspective). I would have to silence all the haters. You know these guys get the same questions on a weekly if not daily basis. It would drive me ****ing crazy. I'd HAVE to beat that guy.

When has Manny ever been really scrutinized in the mainstream media? He is universally loved.
