Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Turns His Back on Mayweather Fight, For Now

[jwheels9876]

ur right and I did. I said that fight was a farce. I was against the Mayweather/ Canelo fight but I understand that if he didn't fight Canelo he would have been accused of ducking the youngster but anyway that fight went just as I expected it to go. PS. I thought Trout beat Canelo and Canelo built his resume' fighting no hopers until he fought Trout.

I had that fight as a draw...that scoring was obviously a sham and Trpout wasn't winning that fight unless he scored a KO... I also gave Floyd props for fighting the kid because there was nobody else hecoulkd have fought and that was the fight the public was calling for.

Smart move the only people on earth that will get this fight to happen is the public..when the public gives Floyd enough shhh and corners him it'll happen. Til then Floyd feels not obligated to anyone or anything which is his right but don't say you have no issue fighting the guy and then turn around and say I won't until he leaves his promoters. This though makes sense as to why the Khan announcement has been delayed..there was a negotiation recently I suppose...which fell apart and pissed off Schaeffer...then all this other shhh started. What would be interesting is if Money hits 48 wins undefeated and then somehow lost to Pacquaio.I think the fight does nothing for Mayweather if he wins it but if he loses it...boyyyyyy...the critics will eat him alive...in the long run though it not happening will forever hurt both far more in their standings amongst the best ever in the sport.

I think the fight means a lot for both..the winner will be the unquestioned best of this generation. There will be people who claim Manny was shot and there also will be people who will say Floyd was never that good if he loses... But those are just idiot fans of either guy.

Floyd finding more excuses to duck Manny and make another easy cherrypick payday, shameful on his part.

and here we go..........

Pay your bets deadbeat.

Everyone has to boycott Floyd Mayweather Jr's fights so he's forced to fight Manny because right now Floyd feels like he can charge people $70 for exhibition fights and everyone will pay so we gotta put a stop to that and demand that he fights Manny or we won't pay.

List of floyd's demands

Mayweather wants drug test -> Pac says 30 days out
Mayweather wants 14 days out -> Pac says 24
Later on, Pacquiao agrees to 14 days.
SO NOW, ALL SHOULD BE GOOD.
Now, Mayweather wants testing till day of fight -> Pac agrees.
SO NOW, ALL SHOULD BE GOOD.
Now Mayweather says he wants 60-40, while Pac wants 50-50.
Some time later, Mayweather says "I'm not thinking about boxing right now".
on JUNE 2013, Pac agrees to 60/40 split.
SO NOW, ALL SHOULD BE GOOD.
Now Mayweather request Pac to quit Top Rank and join Mayweather Promotions in order to make the fight.

What does this add up to? Something is fishy about Floyd. Sounds like a little bit of a ducker.

[QUOTE=megadeth;14124507]

how can you duck a guy that you've already beaten to a pulp? Come on man.[/QUOTE

Easy, you go after a fight w/ said guy and then when he requests the fight at a comfortable weight, where u have already won a belt, u decline. funny how everyone says Floyd ducked Cotto, when Cotto said he never pushed for the fight and it was never offered, but Pac offers it and Cotto agrees at a comfortable weight, Pac declines, but he didnt duck.

He never really won a belt at 154..he fought at 152..I dont know what weight he requested the Cotto fight at the second time but I'm about 99.9% sure the result would be the same regardless of the extra 5-7 pounds.. Cotto is a great fighter and I respect that Hes willing to fight anyone but he couldn't beat Manny or Floyd on his best day IMO.

Pay your bets deadbeat.

Might have a better chance of getting the Pac/Mayweather fight.

Pacquiao turns his back on a non-existing fight. What a title.

You are a troll

Evettything you said is bs lol

Lol at you suggesting Bradley won fairly

Also lol at saying canelo was not drained

Funny Floyd's best win is a part time Oscar coming off a huge lay off and a bs msyorga fight

You are a joke of a poster

Also didn't Floyd fight mannys left over too? How odd you avoided that!

You are in the 1 percent of people who think Floyd is greater

Pathetic, grow up. Floyd's resume is full of c level guys Like Ortiz and guerrero, he avoided the best competition like Manny, prime Mosley, prime cotto, Margo, Williams and kostya

Adios

I've schooled on you BS before, do I have to do it again. Please name one opportunity, ONE, where Mayweather and Tszyu could have fought and Mayweather refused. Please come up with when negotiations started and it didn't happen. Between Tszyu's injuries, He and Mayweather being at different weights and on different networks, not to mention mandatory defences (Mitchell and Hatton) and then Tszyu retiring. You keep spewing that rubbish but it is nothing more than that. Rubbish.

Lets move on onto Mosley. The same Mosley that wouldn't even look in Mayweather's direction while chasing DLH, then refusing a fight in 2006 because he had to go to the dentist. He tap danced better than Fred Astaire when questioned in the post fight interview after beating Vargas. This is the same Mosley who Top Rank refused as an opponent for Pacquiao because, to quote Roach: "he ain't Oscar. He's too good".

As for Cotto and Margarito. Well you may have a point there. But there was definitely more to do with his break away from Arum than any assumed fear. Mayweather would've fought Marg for 7 mil as long as he got the 10 mil guarantees for Cotto and Hatton, as well as a 20 mil guarantee for DLH. Arum was having none of it, which is why he left and never fought a fighter under Top Rank since.

Williams should definitely have been faced. His losing to Quintana made it easier for Mayweather to side step. But it should've happened and would've been intriguing.

But please stop regurtitating your crap about Mosley and Tszyu. I'll have to remind everyone how wrong you are about that (seeing as you keep forgetting).

Pacquiao is basically stating the obvious. He can't negotiate fights for himself, so can't do anything other than fight who he's told to fight until his contract is up. We knew that before, so this statement is nothing new.
