Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[SplitSecond]

i think everyone is missing the real issue here, and that is where was pacquiao when money may was dominating in the 90's?

Here is Pacquiao challenging Floyd. Floyd defenders bring up things in the past and say Pacquiao is bluffing. If you know the other guy is bluffing, what do you do? YOU CALL HIS BLUFF. Unless you really don't think it is a bluff and scared that your hand won't win.

First off, it's not an offer, just a blasé media statement. Second, why are you asking for Pacquiao's bluff to be called but are fine with him not calling bluffs on real actual offers? What, because that was in the past so it doesn't matter? That is weak. LOL

Part of the reason people are cheerleading media articles is BECAUSE Pacquiao didn't call Mayweather's bluff. The other part is because Mayweather is a childish diva that is happy to thumb his nose while making Pacquiao and boxing fans hang on a string while he makes millions.

A gallant move by pacquiao but floyd will never do it. "Fight for free? MF im tryna feed my children" or something else.

Also funny how manny said "charities around the world" but everyone keeps repeating the "manny taxes foundation" joke hurr hurr

And you just believe everything that Floyd says? Ignore the counters posted by others?

The challenge has been issued, now. The challenge is ACTIVE. Not a thing of the past that you keep holding on to. Fight or not? Make a counter offer if you wish. But quit saying that the challenge is not real, he does not mean it, is not fair blah, blah, blah. If you are willing to fight, negotiate. Find a way. Quit ducking the challenge by claiming it is not genuine. Do something to make the fight happen. Quit ducking.

Starving and fighting at 108 lbs?

Floyd will demand pacquiao not use his left hand for the fight to finally push through.

So Floyd has decided to retire right around the time Pac's Contract with TopRank is up?

What is funny is how supposed boxing fans are jumping on any scrap of media they can find and claiming some kind of "victory" in their silly little internet war. Worse than a bunch of women and their Hello ****zines talking about the "he said, she said".

What is also funny is how some people's minds work. Mayweather makes Pacquiao an actual (by actual conversation) offer of 40 mil, no PPV. The offer is refused. Some criticise the offer as rubbish (it was without doubt) and it is preclaimed as a duck because it was an offer that was made knowing it would be refused. Pacquiao supposedly makes an "offer" (really a random article, not even close to actually being made, and people know he never actually would make it in reality) to fight for nothing. The same people look at the"move" (just talk and nothing more) as something praise worthy. The "offer" will be refused and everyone knows it will. Yet, the refusal is criticised and not the BS offer? So this time, the offer that was made (through media) KNOWING it would be refused is not a duck?? Very consistent indeed.

Funnier still is the thought that if Mayweather doesn't call Pacquiao's bluff in this pseudo-negotiation, he's ducking. Whereas, Pacquaio refused to call Mayweather's bluff and walked from testing (with 50/50 on the table), and he refused to call his bluff for 40 mil flat and that is not ducking?

One fighter is a hero to desperate sycophants for making imaginary offers while turning down real ones, while another is the villain for making real offers while ignoring imaginary ones. Interesting......

Great post. You know your stuff. Why should Floyd give up his purse? Floyd doesn't fight for free.

Pacquiao challenged Mayweather, saying “Floyd, if you’re a real man, fight me. Let’s do it for the love of boxing and for the fans. Let’s do it not for the sake of money. Let’s make the boxing fans happy.”
