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

[jwheels9876]

Nah. In fact, I remember when Roach said that Manny had "agreed" to the testing how happy everyone on these boards were. We really thought we were gonna get the fight. Then the truth came out days later.

Second, Manny sued for demation in 2010 and didn't get a settlement for two years. He also asked for the medical records about seven months before the suit was settled. Next time you read an article you should probably read between the lines too. Of course, I don't blame you for bringing that up...can't defend Manny's actions so a new subject is needed. At the end of the day, he walked away from 50-50 because he didn't wanna give blood. Blood he would give against Brandon Rios. Like I said, you make your bed...lay in it.

Ok, why weren't the results provided? Do you have any reasoning? Was it ever explained? If he was clean what would the problem be??
Rumors have it that USADA is under Golden Boys thumb and have hidden results in order for fights to take place.
I obviously can see you can't open your mind and see both sides here so we'll just agree to disagree.

Neither I nor you have the answers to that. But more importantly...why are you trying to change the subject? I think we know why.

Manny Pacquiao walked away from 50-50 because he didn't want to do testing that he felt comfortable doing against a C class lightweight. His star has crumbled. No rumors, changing of topics, etc. can change that.

What we have learned about Floyd over the years, is that, he's insecure, he's a hater of others accomplishments, and he's afraid to challenge himself against the very best. This fight not happening has very little to do with money, and more to do with one fighter being afraid to possibly lose. If Floyd wanted to fight Manny, he'd have done it 4-5 years ago. He simply doesn't want to fight the other greatest fighter of his era. Manny isn't ******. He KNOWS that Floyd is full of bs and is afraid he may lose.

Money Mayweather left Arum, then the sport, because he's starting to sense that the old man was starting to put dangerous fighters in front of him. That's the main reason. He got scared. Would he have fought the Margarito that Pac fought? No. He would have priced himself out just like what he's doing today.

He didn't walk away. It went to mediation..they tried to negotiate a deal and it could meet both guys requirements. You act as if he just said fk that no way..since then he's conceded to every demand. Now he has to leave Arum.but he didn't then I guess??
It's easy to change the subject when Floyd is a walking contradiction.
And BTW, I think Floyd beats Manny by decision so I'm no Manny hard core fan boy that ccan't see the fight objectively.

Yeah, why the FK did he retire in the middle of Manny's rise to stardom??

I know it went to mediation. They walked away from that too. Or did you forget? Then they went and told a bunch of lies to the media and the mediator had to issue a statement saying basically that they were full of ****. Now his star power has diminished. You make your bed, you lay in it.

Who knows why Floyd retired but we do know he came back to out class Manny nemesis and tried to make a fight with Manny happen that Pacquiao walked away from.

Floyd would've fought hthe real JMW champion, not a 151 lb fighter with 1 win at JMW for a bogus belt.

Good point.

That's a good point! This is why it'll be hard for anyone to argue that Manny Pacquiao is the best fighter of this era, and not Floyd Mayweather. Manny is a REAL throwback and doesn't care who he fights. Floyd does. He has to control everything and cherry-pick guys he knows he can beat. At this point, I pick Manny if they ever fight. Why? Because of Manny's hand-speed, foot-speed, angle-punching, improved defense, and HUNGER. He's hungrier than Floyd is right now and on top of all that, Floyd is about to be 37 yrs. old. I like this fight STILL!

Who cares that he beat Marquez that had never gone above 135 to that point.. I think it would have been the same result regardless because STYLES MAKE FIGHTS...Marquez is an offensive minded counter puncher who fares well with guys who come at him and he's not afraid to stand in there and exchange if needed. Floyd is a completely different fighter then Manny. Cant compare one guys success against the others when they fight almost polar opposite.
