Floyd Mayweather Jr vs. Manny Pacquiao Master Discussion Thread

[Evol]

Pac fans are gonna have to get over it.

Has Arum built his stadium yet?

You guys are gonna have to grow up and stop pretending only one side is at fault.

get over what?? isnt that what floyd said? he will never work with bob arum?? so im just wondering was that just thrown out to stall the fight then?

Why are Floyd fans making it out like Floyd will win 9 to 11 rounds against Pacquiao? Just because Pac got knocked out against Marquez?

More realistically he will win 7 or 8 with several swing rounds. Pac has more stamina and speed. He can throw punches at points where Cotto, Canelo or Maidana couldnt. I'm not saying they will land accurately but the judges just need to see that activity and aggression.

Hell, Canelo swung at air and got rounds. Better hope you dont get a CJ Ross type in there.

I expect a close fight and we'll all be ready to do it all over again in September

Of course it's going to be a close fight. I don't see many credible posters saying otherwise.

You better hope Manny gets Mayweather out of there early. Once Mayweather gets his timing it's cruise control.

Floyd was forced into this fight

By les moonves

Now we all can see the roadblock of arum was a complete lie

Manny walked away from the fight in 2010 over drug testing. It's 5 years later he is now taking the exact testing with the cutoff Floyd asked back then only instead of a 50/50 split he is getting 40%.

It's clear Manny and Bob waited until Floyd showed slippage and slowing down before taking the fight to give them the best chance of winning. Can't even get mad at that because its the smart play.

If this wasn't the case, we'd of had the fight in May before Floyd went to jail..

Funny because that's what people said about the Mosley and Canelo fights.

That he was "forced into it"

I wonder if this fight will turn out like those and get discredited.

i will never work with bob arum again. the only way this fight happens is if manny leave top rank.

flomos: hell yeah!! bob did it to marquez and shane so what. all manny have to do is leave bob arum. be a boss and be ur own man!

yeah bob and manny waited for marquez to knock pac out cold to realize that floyd is slipping so now is the time. LOL!!!!

well, floyd never told mosley or canelo that floyd will never work with their promotor and that for a fight with them to happen they need to leave their promotor first.
